Coloantrops gen. nov.

Type species: Coloantrops daedalus sp. nov., by present designation

Description as for the only included species.

Comments. This genus is described for a single species that appears to be a sister lineage to the clade including the apterous genera Penola ( Richards 1941) and Frutillaria . This genus can be distinguished from other Archiborborinae by the shortened ovipositor with broad, heavily sclerotized tergites and sternites on segments 6 and 7 of the female, the retention of wings unlike its apterous relatives, absence of setae on the epiproct, and the presence of a white spot on vein M between the crossveins.

The genus name is derived from the Greek kolos (shortened, docked) and the generic name Antrops , referring to the short ovipositor in the female. It is masculine in accordance with ICZN 30.1.4.3.
