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.
