STEPHANODES Enock, 1909 View in CoL

( Figs 309–313 View FIGURES 309–311 View FIGURE 312, 313 )

Stephanodes Enock, 1909: 457 View in CoL . Type species: Stephanodes elegans Enock, 1909 View in CoL , by monotypy. See Huber et al. (2020) for generic synonyms and their type species.

Diagnosis. Face with subantennal sulcus ventral to each torulus, with pit medial to and slightly above dorsal margin of each torulus and toruli separated by about 2× their own height from transverse trabecula ( Fig. 309a View FIGURES 309–311 ); vertex with large depression outside ocellar triangle next to each ocellus ( Fig. 309b View FIGURES 309–311 ); scape with inner surface rasp-like or with distinct transverse carinae; mesonotal spiracle much closer to anterior apex of notaulus than to dorsal apex of prepectus ( Fig. 312 View FIGURE 312, 313 ); propleura abutting each other anterior to prosternum; petiole attached posteriorly to gs 1 ( Fig. 313a View FIGURE 312, 313 ); mesosoma and metasoma smooth and shiny.

Remarks. Stephanodes belongs to the Polynema group of genera. Stephanodes is unique in having the mesonotal spiracle advanced anteriorly, closer to the anterior apex of the notaulus than to the tegula or dorsal apex of the prepectus.

Neotropical hosts. Unknown.
