Mangus Kopylov, 2019

Kopylov, Dmitry S., 2019, New anaxyelids (Hymenoptera: Anaxyelidae) from the Cretaceous of Asia, Zootaxa 4603 (2), pp. 341-353 : 343

Genus Mangus Kopylov , gen. nov.

Etymology. The generic name refers to Mangus—Mongolian mythological beast. Gender masculine.

Type species. M. magnus sp. nov.

Species included. Type species only.

Distribution. Lower Cretaceous of Mongolia.

Diagnosis. Sc with two branches: Sc1 joining C and Sc2 joining R; Sc extending beyond Sc1 as distinctive spectral vein; pterostigma desclerotized only in the apical half; C beyond 6-Rs junction developed; 1-Rs not much longer than 1-M; 2-Rs longer than 1r-rs; Rs+M 0.8 × as long as 2-M and shorter than 1-Cu; 5-M more than 0.5 × as long as 3r-m; 2m-cu relined; 3-A1 3 × as long as 2-A1.

Comparison. The new genus differs from Kempendaja in presence of Sc2 and C beyond 6-Rs, pterostigma more sclerotized, shorter 1-Rs, longer Rs+M, 2-Rs, 5-M, 3-A1, large size.

Remarks. The diagnosis of subfamily Kempendajinae provided by A.P. Rasnitsyn (1980) appeals generally to the characters of body and hind wing morphology. Anyway by the presence of spectral Sc ending beyond Sc1, partly desclerotized pterostigma, Rs+M shorter than 1-Cu the new genus fits into Kempendajinae better than to any other anaxyelid subfamily.
