Yoshimotoana Huber 2015

YOSHIMOTOANA Huber, 2015 (Figs 350–356) Yoshimotoana Huber, 2015: 61. Type species: Gonatocerus masneri Yoshimoto, 1990, by original designation. Diagnosis. Yoshimotoana is distinguished from the other genera of Gonatocerini by the following combination: malar sulcus absent; pronotum entire; propodeum lateral to submedian carinae covered with numerous deep pits (Fig. 353). Remarks. Yoshimotoana belongs to the Gonatocerus group of genera, treated elsewhere as Gonatocerini in Huber (2015a). Yoshimotoana is unique because of absence of a malar sulcus; it is placed in Gonatocerini because its fore wing structure is the same as in other genera of the tribe, with hypochaeta about midway between the proximal and distal macrochaetae (Fig. 352). Neotropical hosts. Unknown. Important reference. Huber (2015a).
