Scolopsopteron kuscheli Ogloblin 1952: 128–132 View in CoL . Type locality: Alto Inglés, at about 600 m, Robinson Crusoe Island [as Masatierra Island], Juan Fernández Islands, Valparaíso, Chile. Holotype male [MEUC], not examined. Subsequent references: Ogloblin 1957: 442 (key); De Santis 1979: 373 (catalog); Yoshimoto 1990: 65 (list).

Cremnomymar kuscheli (Ogloblin) : Huber 2013: 58 (generic transfer).

Type material examined. Paratype male [ MLPA], on slide labeled as in Fig. 51 View FIGURES 51–54 : CHILE. Valparaíso: Juan Fernández Islands, Robinson Crusoe Island, Alto Inglés, 600 m, 6.ii.1952, G. Kuschel, on Chusquea fernandeziana ( Poaceae ).

Diagnosis. This seems to be a rather distinctive species in having the uniquely Y-shaped submedian carinae on the propodeum but because it is based only on strongly brachypterous males, a conspecific female is needed to reveal its true identity.

Redescription. MALE (paratype). Body length 1270 µm. Antenna ( Fig. 52 View FIGURES 51–54 ) with scape 4.7× as long as wide. Pronotum with reticulate sculpture, longer than mesoscutum or scutellum ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 51–54 ). Mesoscutum with reticulate sculpture, scutellum apparently smooth; mesoscutum about as long as scutellum, with wide notauli not extending to anterior margin ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 51–54 ). Propodeum long, smooth between submedian and lateral carinae; submedian carinae Yshaped ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 51–54 ). Fore wing ( Fig. 53 View FIGURES 51–54 ) strongly reduced, lanceolate, 11.0× as long as wide; apical process of venation long; discal and marginal setae not modified; the longest marginal seta about 0.5× greatest fore wing width. Hind wing ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 51–54 ) strongly reduced, with hardly any membrane present and just a few short marginal setae at apex. Petiole widened basally ( Fig. 54 View FIGURES 51–54 ). Genitalia length 190 µm.

FEMALE. Unknown.

Distribution. Chile: Juan Fernández Islands.
