Froggattisca kakadu is a species of cave-dwelling[1] antlions (or Myrmeleontidae).[2]

The genus was first described by Miller and Stange in 2012.[2][1]

Miller and Stange describe members of the genus as not being true cave-dwelling antlions, because not all life stages are confined to caves.[1] The genus is found only in Australia.[1]

Description

The larvae have head capsules with prominent medial markings. There are many ventral head setae. The mandible is shorter than the head capsule.[1] The larvae differ from all other Froggattisca species by having dolichasters present on the ventral side of the head.[1]

The insect is known only from its type locality in Kakadu, where the larvae are found in caves between layers of volcanic rock.[1]
