Xenopolynema Ogloblin 1960

XENOPOLYNEMA Ogloblin, 1960 (Figs 345–349) Xenopolynema Ogloblin, 1960a: 9. Type species: Xenopolynema areolatum Ogloblin, 1960, by original designation. Diagnosis. Face without subantennal sulcus ventral to each torulus, with a pit medially next to each torulus and toruli separated by about their own height from transverse trabecula (Fig. 345a); propleura widely abutting medially anterior to prosternum; fore wing with a narrow dark transverse band posterior to venation; parastigma lengthened, slightly separated from anterior margin of wing, and marginal vein apparently absent (Fig. 347); propodeum submedially with 2 curved carina meeting dorsally, forming an oval median area (Fig. 348); petiole attached posteriorly to gs 1 (Fig. 349). Remarks. Xenopolynema belongs to the Polynema group of genera. Among the Neotropical genera, Xenopolynema appears superficially to be most similar to Vladimir based on the more or less lengthened parastigma (+ marginal vein, when present) + stigmal veins and the dark transverse band posterior to these but instead is most similar to the Australasian genus Boccacciomymar Triapitsyn & Berezovskiy. Neotropical hosts. Unknown. Important reference. Ogloblin (1960a).
