Remarks.
Rare. Possibly congeneric with Ganaspis .

These specimens also show the following characteristics: short coxal hair tuft; a rather large, flat scutellar plate and relatively large scutellar foveae; metapleural margin with an elongate excision; wing with a very slightly emarginate apex and an elongate marginal cell. Associated males are very difficult to discern within the range of variation present in Ganaspis .
Distribution.
Described from Taiwan, but here reported also from Africa. Afrotropical records: Central African Republic, Kenya (here).

Hosts unknown.
