SCHIZOPHRAGMA Ogloblin, 1949 View in CoL

( Figs 299–303 View FIGURES 299–301 View FIGURES 302, 303 )

Schizophragma Ogloblin, 1949: 345 View in CoL . Type species: Schizophragma basalis Ogloblin, 1949 View in CoL , by original designation. Schizophragrama [sic] Yoshimoto, 1990: 11 (lapsus).

Palaeopatasson Witsack, 1986: 266 View in CoL . Type species: Palaeopatasson grollei Witsack View in CoL , by monotypy. Syn. n.

Diagnosis. Face with subantennal sulcus ventral to each torulus ( Fig. 299a View FIGURES 299–301 ); mandible with 4 or sometimes 5 teeth; antenna with inner surface of scape strongly ridged and clava 2-segmented ( Fig. 300 View FIGURES 299–301 ); frenum longitudinally divided, with each paramedial plate longer than wide ( Fig. 302 View FIGURES 302, 303 ); second phragma with apex indented, often deeply notched; ovipositor not or barely exserted beyond apex of gaster ( Fig. 303 View FIGURES 302, 303 ).

Remarks. Schizophragma belongs to the Anagrus group of genera. In the Neotropical region it is most similar to Omyomymar based on the 2-segmented clava. The Oligocene fossil genus Palaeopatasson from Dominican amber is placed here in synonymy under Schizophragma and its type (and only) species, P. grollei Witsack (holotype in ZMHB), is transferred to Schizophragma as Schizophragma † grollei (Witsack) , comb. n. The longitudinally divided frenum “postscutellum: mit Mittelnaht”, 2-segmented clava, and shape and setation of the fore wing support the synonymy proposed above.

Neotropical hosts. Hemiptera : Membracidae .
