Antennardia Mamaev, 1993 View in CoL

Mamaev (1993) introduced Antennardia as a new, monotypic genus within his Xylopriona Kieffer group of genera, a taxonomic entity nearly equivalent to the tribe Micromyini excluding the genus Monardia Kieffer (e.g. Jaschhof 1998; Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2009). Beginning with Jaschhof (1998), we have used Antennardia as a subgenus within a broad concept of Monardia , with the intention of stressing the general similarity of Monardia -like micromyines (i.e. Antennardia , Monardia s. str., Trichopteromyia Williston, and Xylopriona ) as opposed to genera as dissimilar as Anodontoceras Yukawa , Micromyia Rondani , Polyardis Pritchard , and Pseudoperomyia Jaschhof & Hippa. Our decision here to restore the generic rank of Antennardia is to recognize its undeniably monophyletic origin, whereas Monardia s. str., Trichopteromyia and Xylopriona as currently defined are unlikely to be natural groups. The monophyly of Antennardia is supported by various adult characters, such as the conspicuously shortened ovipositor ( Fig. 4 View FIGURES 1–4 ), the apically rounded (not pointed) tegmen, and the strongly protruding dorsal gonocoxal bridge ( Fig. 1 View FIGURES 1–4 ). In addition to the three species previously classified in this genus, a new Antennardia is described below based on characters of both sexes.
