OMYOMYMAR Schauff, 1983

( Figs 191–203 )

Omyomymar Schauff, 1983: 544 . Type species: Paranaphoidea silvana Ogloblin, 1935 , by original designation. See Huber et al. (2020) for generic synonyms and their type species.

Omyomymar (Kyushumymar) Triapitsyn, 2021b: 89 . Type species: Omyomymar (Kyushumymar) yamagishii Triapitsyn, 2021 , by original designation.

Diagnosis. Face with faint subantennal sulci; ocelli not delimited by stemmaticum; mandibles minute stubs with apices not extending to each other when closed ( Fig. 192 ); female antenna with clava 2-segmented, the apical segment usually with a nipple-like projection ( Fig. 196 ); frenum partly longitudinally divided; ovipositor and sheaths not extending forward under mesosoma but usually distinctly exserted posterior to apex of gaster ( Fig. 201 ). Male head with eye relatively small and gena wide ( Fig. 194 ); scape with inner surface with a few to many spine-like setae ( Figs 197, 198 ).

Discussion. Omyomymar belongs to the Anagrus group of genera. In the Afrotropical region the Anagrus group also includes Allanagrus , Anagrus , Dorya , Paranaphoidea and Schizophragma . Among these Omyomymar is the only genus with the ovipositor usually strongly exserted posteriorly (but not anteriorly ventral to mesosoma) and the head strongly sexually dimorphic.

Afrotropical hosts. Unknown.

Distribution. No named species in the Afrotropical region. Specimens examined are from Cameroon, Gabon, Guinea, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Nigeria, Seychelles, South Africa, Uganda (CAS, CNC, UCRC); all belong to the nominal subgenus.

Important reference. Schauff (1983).
