Bourgoinrana Soulier-Perkins View in CoL View at ENA gen. n.
Type species: Amberana perinetana Synave, 1957 View in CoL .
Amberana is endemic to Madagascar and posses some morphological characters that allow differentiating it from Literna classically considered to be close. However the dimple described by Lallemand in 1949 can be observed on all the species except for A. perinatana , A. rubescens and A. sandrangatensis described by Synave in 1957. When looking at the shape of the male genitalia, we have to notice as well that the general shape of the aedeagus and the apex of the parameres of these three species are similar between them but different from all the other species of Amberana . In side view, these three species are more dorsoventrally flattened than the species of Amberana .
Diagnosis. Vertex broader than long. From above anterior margin of head regularly curved and postclypeus not protruded beyond it, bearing a large longitudinal furrow. Ocelli closer to each other than to eyes. Pronotum with sinuate posterior margin, wider than long and flattened dorsoventrally in comparison to Amberana . Dimple on postclypeus, just below frontal margin absent. Meta tibia bearing one lateral spine. This genus can be distinguished from all other genera by the general shape of the male genitalia. Its aedeagus is generally shaped as a circumvented tube and the anterior margin bears a thumb shaped extension.
Etymology. This generic name is based on the name of our hemipterist colleague Thierry Bourgoin to which the last 4 letters of the genus Amberana were added. The gender of this genus is feminine.
