Chilelimnophila Alexander 1968

Genus: Chilelimnophila Alexander, 1968 Type species: Limnophila lyra Alexander, 1952 (original designation) Emended diagnosis: The genus is defined by the unique set of features that are not present together in other Limoniidae genera such as: antenna 11-segmented or 16-segmented, absence of crossvein r-r (R 2), presence of four medial veins that extend to the wing’s edge, and a distinct fusion of the first three flagellomeres in a male. The antennae of Chilelimnophila are distinguishable by the enlarged pedicel and a constriction in the first flagellomere. Remarks: Since the genus was previously monotypic, we expanded its diagnosis to incorporate new features observed in fossil species, in comparison to the diagnosis provided by Ribeiro (2007).
