Treatment

Subgenus Basileonecta Hutchinson, 1940

Basileonecta Hutchinson, 1940: 355

( type species: Sigara scutellaris Stål, 1858 , by original designation).

Diagnosis

Males: palar claw narrow, usually nearly straight; strigil present; median lobe of sternite VII narrow, with angular apex; free lobe of tergite VIII with mesial angle obtusely rounded or obsolete; left paramere styliform; right paramere: shaft slender and distally curved (adapted from Hutchinson 1940).

Remarks

Species of this subgenus occur in Africa, Madagascar, and Asia ( Hutchinson 1940). There is still no formal checklist of species of Basileonecta as of yet. In Asia, there are three species, M. scutellaris ( Stål, 1858) , M. sedula Horváth, 1905 , and M. siva (Kirkaldy, 1897) ; all are present in Vietnam.
