YOSHIMOTOANA Huber, 2015 View in CoL

( Figs 350–356 View FIGURES 350–352 View FIGURES 353, 354 View FIGURES 355, 356 )

Yoshimotoana Huber, 2015: 61 View in CoL . Type species: Gonatocerus masneri Yoshimoto, 1990 View in CoL , by original designation.

Diagnosis. Yoshimotoana is distinguished from the other genera of Gonatocerini by the following combination: malar sulcus absent; pronotum entire; propodeum lateral to submedian carinae covered with numerous deep pits ( Fig. 353 View FIGURES 353, 354 ).

Remarks. Yoshimotoana belongs to the Gonatocerus group of genera, treated elsewhere as Gonatocerini in Huber (2015a). Yoshimotoana is unique because of absence of a malar sulcus; it is placed in Gonatocerini because its fore wing structure is the same as in other genera of the tribe, with hypochaeta about midway between the proximal and distal macrochaetae ( Fig. 352 View FIGURES 350–352 ).

Neotropical hosts. Unknown.
