Subgenus Pardanecta Wróblewski, 1962

Pardanecta Wróblewski, 1962: 177–178 (type species: Micronecta punctata ( Fieber, 1844) , by monotypy).

Diagnosis

Males: palar claw not strongly widened apically; prestrigilar flap on segment V crescent-shaped, indistinct; strigil present; median lobe of sternite VII with four long and thick setae; free lobe of tergite VIII with widened, truncate apex; left paramere with knob-like apex; right paramere distally curved (adapted from Wróblewski 1962).

Remarks

This is a monotypic subgenus. The type species, Micronecta punctata ( Fieber, 1844) , proved to be a junior homonym of Sigara punctata Illiger, 1807 . The valid name of the species is thus Micronecta haliploides Horváth, 1904 (see Buzzetti et al. 2006).
