Chilenana bipartita Domahovski 2024, comb. nov.

Chilenana bipartita (Linnavuori & DeLong) comb. nov. Gypona bipartita Linnavuori & DeLong, 1977: 136. Remarks. Chilenana DeLong & Freytag, 1967 is a genus endemic to Chile and is one of only two known genera of Gyponini, the other being the Brazilian genus Fulana Gonçalves, Domahovski, Mejdalani and Takiya, 2021, with the male pygofer having a membranous flexible cleft between the basal portion and lateral lobes, and a basoventral process, similar to those present in other tribes of Iassinae (Freytag & DeLong 1971, DeLong & Freytag 1967; Domahovski 2019; Gonçalves et al. 2021). Besides that, the slender subgenital plates and Y-shaped aedeagus in posterior view with one of the processes asymmetrical are features commonly found in Chilenana. Gypona bipartita Linnavuori & DeLong, 1977, described from Chile, has all the above mentioned characteristics of the male genitalia present in the genus Chilenana. Gypona bipartita is most similar to Chilenana similara DeLong & Freytag, 1967, differing in having the stylus and aedeagus slightly more elongated (DeLong & Freytag, 1967: 109, figs 21–16; Linnavuori & DeLong, 1977: 267, figs 462–466). Therefore, G. bipartita is here transferred to Chilenana.

Abstract

Chilenana bipartita (Linnavuori & DeLong) comb. nov. Gypona bipartita Linnavuori & DeLong, 1977: 136. Remarks. Chilenana DeLong & Freytag, 1967 is a genus endemic to Chile and is one of only two known genera of Gyponini, the other being the Brazilian genus Fulana Gonçalves, Domahovski, Mejdalani and Takiya, 2021, with the male pygofer having a membranous flexible cleft between the basal portion and lateral lobes, and a basoventral process, similar to those present in other tribes of Iassinae (Freytag & DeLong 1971, DeLong & Freytag 1967; Domahovski 2019; Gonçalves et al. 2021). Besides that, the slender subgenital plates and Y-shaped aedeagus in posterior view with one of the processes asymmetrical are features commonly found in Chilenana. Gypona bipartita Linnavuori & DeLong, 1977, described from Chile, has all the above mentioned characteristics of the male genitalia present in the genus Chilenana. Gypona bipartita is most similar to Chilenana similara DeLong & Freytag, 1967, differing in having the stylus and aedeagus slightly more elongated (DeLong & Freytag, 1967: 109, figs 21–16; Linnavuori & DeLong, 1977: 267, figs 462–466). Therefore, G. bipartita is here transferred to Chilenana.
