Do you have a side-shot? These are by-and-large genitalic.

I believe we also have Diazosma, but that's largely a summer-woodland species and not often recorded.

I may need to fact-check, but believe it to be correct.

Diazosma has A2 longer. Procladura has a short M-Cu crossvein; here the forward branch of Cu meets the discal cell.

This is undoubtedly Trichocera - has a short A2 as John has already pointed out. Paracladura, Asdura and Zedura are found in Australian and Oriental provinces.
