Glella Greathead and Evenhuis gen. n.
Type species: Glabellula quebradae Hall, 1976 , by present designation.
Etymology: An arbitrary combination of letters. Gender feminine.
Diagnosis: Glella fits in the group of genera in Glabellulinae that have a small triangular cell r 1 and confluent wing cells dm and bm, but can be easily distinguished from them by the subapical placement of the style on the second antennal flagellomere. The description below of the new species, Glella ashleyi , can serve to further characterise the genus.
Comments: Two species are contained in this genus: one from Chile – Glella quebradae (Hall) ; the other from Namibia – Glella ashleyi sp. n., which shows a disjunct distribution of the genus. It is a very rare genus, known only from a handful of specimens of each species.
Distribution: Namibia: 1 species; Glella ashleyi sp. n. Chile: 1 species; Glella quebradae (Hall) , comb. n.
