Genus Astymachus Howard View in CoL View at ENA

The genus Astymachus contains five world species ( Noyes 2015), all are macropterous. The new species described here is brachypterous. Therefore, it will not key correctly to genus using any key dealing with brachypterous forms, but it would key correctly to Astymachus if the specimens are taken through keys as if it had full wings (e.g. Noyes & Hayat 1984; Trjapitzin 1989; Hayat 2006).
