Treatment

Subgenus Dichaetonecta Hutchison, 1940

Dichaetonecta Hutchison, 1940 : 354

(type species: Sigara scholtzi Fieber, 1860 , by original designation).

Diagnosis

Males: palar claw not strongly widened apically; prestrigilar flap on segment V with an obtuse tip; strigil present; median lobe of sternite VII developed, with angular apex and one or two long setae; free lobe of tergite VIII widened distally, lateral angle produced; shaft of left paramere variable but not plate-like; right paramere: shaft slender and curved (adapted from Chen et al. 2015).

Remarks

Species of Dichaetonecta occur in Africa, Madagascar, and Asia ( Hutchinson 1940). There is still no formal checklist of species for this subgenus as yet. In Vietnam, there are five species: M. sahlbergi ( Jakovlev, 1881) , M. ludibunda Breddin, 1905 , M. johorensis Fernando, 1964 , M. decorata Lundblad, 1933 , and M. desertana Distant, 1920 .
