Type species

Parasiro coiffaiti Juberthie, 1956 .

Included species

Only the type species, Ebrosiro coiffaiti ( Juberthie, 1956) gen. et comb. nov.

Diagnosis

Ovipositor apical lobi short, with terminal setae slightly longer than subterminal (mediodistal) and 4 laterodistal setae. Receptaculum seminis with lateral ampulla which gives it a forked appearance ( Fig. 11C ). Bottom of ampulla connected with ovipositor lobi wall with tiny tendinous structures. Receptacle orifices located at base of apical half of length of apical lobes. Spermatopositor wide, digiti mobiles mediales with elongated tips, curved outward, exceeds margin of median lobe. Digiti mobiles laterales of irregular rod-shaped form.

Etymology

The genus prefiX is derived from the name of the Ebro continental Block to which we attribute the origin of this genus. The suffiX is the name of the first described Cypophthalmi genus, Siro , a common suffiX applied to many cyphophthalmid genera. Gender masculine.
