Scolopa Carayon, 1954

Scolopa Carayon, 1954: 596 . Type species: Scolopa wygodzinskyi Carayon, 1954 .

Diagnostic characters. Body strongly flattened dorso-ventrally. Head subtriangular beyond eyes, short and narrowed behind. Rostrum short, slightly surpassing base of head. Pronotum and scutellum smooth, lateral margins convex, with slender median longitudinal carina. Metasternum cordiform. Femora enlarged, but hind femora larger. Femora without spines on inner margin. Fore tibiae with small fossula spongiosa. ‘On sternite (III) behind the two orifices, a shore covered of microtrichia and a lock of long, erected hairs’ ( CARAYON 1954). Ostiolar peritreme ‘long and strongly curved, slightly projected on external edge’ ( CARAYON 1954). Left paramere curved, having a median sulcus, its apex obtuse.

Studied material. We have not seen specimens of this genus. We use characters mentioned in the original description.

Remarks. Differs from Scolopella Carayon 1954 , by having slender rostrum, sinuated sides of body and left paramere with an obtuse apex. This is the only genus among the Scolopina with a very short rostrum, not reaching the fore coxae, and unarmed fore femora.
