STEPHANOCAMPTA Mathot, 1966

( Figs 250–254 )

Stephanocampta Mathot, 1966: 219 . Type species: Stephanocampta yaosekoensis Mathot, 1966 , by original designation. See Huber et al. (2020) for generic synonyms and their type species.

Diagnosis. Fore wing relatively wide, with several rows of microtrichia ( Fig. 252 ); propodeum with translucent reticulate lamina and propodeal seta lateral to spiracle ( Fig. 253 ); gs 1 with striate translucent reticulate collar laterally and ventrally ( Fig. 254 ), concealing the petiole in lateral view.

Discussion. Stephanocampta belongs to the Camptoptera group of genera. In the Afrotropical region this group also includes Camptoptera , Camptopteroides and Ptilomymar . The peculiar translucent structures on the propodeum occur also in Ptilomymar and a few undescribed Camptoptera but the placement and configuration of these are different.

Afrotropical hosts. Unknown.

Important references. Mathot (1966), Huber & Lin (1999).
