Acmopolynema Ogloblin 1946

ACMOPOLYNEMA Ogloblin, 1946 (Figs 1–5) Acmopolynema Ogloblin, 1946: 286. Type species: Stichothrix bifasciatipennis Girault, 1908, by original designation. See Huber et al. (2020) for generic synonyms and their type species. Diagnosis. Face without or with faint subantennal sulcus ventral to each torulus and without a pit medially next to each torulus (Fig. 1); toruli separated by at least their own height from transverse trabecula; propleura widely abutting each other anterior to prosternum; fore wing usually with one or two dark transverse band distal to venation, the bands usually with some discal setae with enlarged bases (Fig. 3); parastigma without a proximal macrochaeta but with a distal macrochaeta, and marginal vein absent; petiole attached posteriorly to gs 1; propodeum with Vshaped median carinae (Fig. 4). Remarks. Acmopolynema belongs to the Polynema group of genera. Acmopolynema has a short transverse trabecula extending medially anterior to each lateral ocellus that appears to be unique. The V- shaped propodeal carinae (rarely very short) are also unique. Neotropical hosts. Hemiptera: Cercopidae, Delphacidae, Membracidae. Important references. Fidalgo (1989), Yoshimoto (1990).
