COSMOCOMOPSIS Huber, 2015 View in CoL

( Figs 102–106 View FIGURES 102, 103 View FIGURES 104–106 )

Cosmocomopsis Huber, 2015: 22 . Type species: Ooctonus sevae Risbec, 1955 View in CoL , by subsequent designation.

Diagnosis. Cosmocomopsis is distinguished from other members of the Gonatocerini by the following combination: face with subantennal sulci ( Fig. 103 View FIGURES 102, 103 ); vertex with 2 setae between ocelli; female antenna with fu 8 having 4 mps and clava with about 15 mps in 3 whorls ( Fig. 104 View FIGURES 104–106 ); pronotum divided medially by longitudinal sulcus, the pronotal lobes almost abutting ( Fig. 106 View FIGURES 104–106 ); metanotum with dorsellum thin and strap-like, almost parallel-sided but with slight bulge medially ( Fig. 106 View FIGURES 104–106 ); propodeum with submedian lines almost abutting, appearing almost as a single median carina ( Fig. 106 View FIGURES 104–106 ); fore wing without microtrichia behind and just beyond venation ( Fig. 105 View FIGURES 104–106 ); petiole as long as metacoxa ( Fig. 106 View FIGURES 104–106 ); gt 1 with posterior margin strongly sinuate.

Discussion. Cosmocomopsis belongs to the Gonatocerus group of genera, treated formally as Gonatocerini in Huber (2015). In the Afrotropical region this group also includes Gonatocerus , Heptagonatocerus , Lymaenon , Octomicromeris , Tanyxiphium and Zeyanus . Cosmocomopsis species are most similar to some species of Lymaenon from Madagascar. Some Lymaenon species also have only 2 setae between the ocelli clava and apical funicle segments with more numerous mps than usual and a long gastral petiole, but the fore wing microtrichia extend to the base of the parastigma, the pronotal lobes are well separated from each other and the dorsellum is more distinctly strap-like.

Afrotropical hosts. Orthoptera.
