Malkinia gurupi Piza, 1979

Malkinia Piza, 1979 syn. nov. of Microcentrum Scudder, 1862

The description does not compare Malkinia to any other genus, but mentions that it is distinguished from other genera by the ventrally rounded fore and middle femora as well as the presence of styli. Apart from the slightly more transparent tegmina, Piza’s two male specimens look like typical members of the large genus Microcentrum . And for example M. lanceolatum and M. marginatum do have styli, even longer ones than M. gurupi .
