OCTOMICROMERIS Huber, 2015 View in CoL

( Figs 186–190 View FIGURES 186–188 View FIGURES 189, 190 )

Octomicromeris Huber, 2015: 51 . Type species: Octomicromeris compacta Huber, 2015 , by original designation.

Diagnosis. Octomicromeris is distinguished from the other genera in Gonatocerini by the following combination: female antenna with funicle short, the segments at most not much longer than wide, and with mps apparently only on fu 5 and fu 7 ( Fig. 187 View FIGURES 186–188 ); fore wing venation with parastigma short, at most half as long as submarginal vein, and with almost truncate apex ( Fig. 188 View FIGURES 186–188 ); propodeum with a sublateral carina between each submedian carina and metapleural sulcus ( Fig. 189 View FIGURES 189, 190 ).

Discussion. Octomicromeris belongs to the Gonatocerus group of genera, treated formally as Gonatocerini by Huber (2015). In the Afrotropical region this group also includes Cosmocomopsis , Gonatocerus , Heptagonatocerus , Lymaenon , Tanyxiphium and Zeyanus .

Afrotropical hosts. Unknown.
