Kalopolynema Ogloblin 1960

KALOPOLYNEMA Ogloblin, 1960 (Figs 152–157) Kalopolynema Ogloblin, 1960a: 3. Type species: Kalopolynema discrepans Ogloblin, 1960. See Huber et al. (2020) for generic synonyms and their type species. Diagnosis. Face with subantennal sulcus ventral to each torulus, without a pit medially next to each torulus and toruli separated from transverse trabecula by about height of a torulus (Fig. 152a); propleura widely separated from each other anterior to prosternum; fore wing narrow (Fig. 154), with venation about 0.25 wing length and marginal vein absent; propodeum without carinae (Fig. 155); petiole attached posteriorly to gt 1, (Figs 156, 157); ovipositor with fairly large basal loop and strongly exserted (Fig. 156). Remarks. Kalopolynema belongs to the Polynema group of genera. It is distinguished most easily from the other genera by the combination of a strongly exserted and somewhat upcurved ovipositor with a large basal loop and a narrow fore wing. The petiole in lateral view is relatively short with a sharp ventral tooth. Neotropical hosts. Hemiptera: Delphacidae. Important reference. Triapitsyn & Berezovskiy (2002).
