Synthetic description

Bourgoinrana is a genus which had all its species placed in Amberana until its description in 2012. It is an endemic genus of Madagascar, easy to differentiate from the other genera present there, mainly thanks to its flattened shape ( Soulier-Perkins & Kunz 2012). A synthesis based on previous taxonomic descriptions and material examined is presented below:

HEAD. Vertex as broad as long. Anterior margin of head regularly rounded. Ocelli closer to each other than to compound eyes. Postclypeus with large longitudinal furrow.

THORAX. Pronotum as wide as long and dorsoventrally flattened, giving aspect easy to identify to insects from genus. Pronotum with few distinct dimples, not deep. Hindlegs with one spine on metatibiae.

MALE GENITALIA. Have sterno-lateral plates and aedeagus with thumb shape on anterior margin ( Soulier-Perkins & Kunz 2012).
