Genus Alloneda Iablokoff-Khnzorian
Alloneda Iablokoff-Khnzorian, 1979: 49 , 63.
Type species: Coccinella dodecaspilota Hope, 1831 (as Coccinella dodecastigma (sic) Hope), by original designation.
Diagnosis. Size medium to large, form broadly circular, dorsum hemispherical, strongly convex and glabrous. Anterior clypeal margin ( Fig. 20c View FIGURE 20 ) straight between lateral projections. Antenna ( Fig. 20b View FIGURE 20 ) 11-segmented, antennomere 1 enlarged in anterior half, antennomere 2 quadrate, 3–8 longer than broad, 9 little longer than wide, 10 transverse and terminal antennomere apically obliquely truncate. Pronotum with sides strongly rounded and slightly sinuate adjacent to anterolateral angles. Prothoracic hypomeron deeply foveate at anterior inner corners. Prosternal carinae ( Fig. 20e View FIGURE 20 ) reaching up to middle of prosternal process, apically divergent. Anterior margin of mesoventrite ( Fig. 20e View FIGURE 20 ) with a deep, V-shaped median emargination. Abdominal postcoxal line ( Fig. 20d View FIGURE 20 ) incomplete. Elytral epipleura deeply foveate on level with hind coxae, inner carinae reaching elytral apex. Male genitalia with penis consisting of more than one sclerite that are distinctly separated by membranes.
Affinities. Tomaszewska et al. (2021) grouped Alloneda in the Synonycha -group of genera in their phylogenetic analysis. In their study, Alloneda formed a well-defined and supported clade with Coelophora Mulsant (part) and Propylea and shared many morphological similarities with Coelophora (part). Particularly, the male genitalia in Alloneda are similar to those of Coelophora in general and the lateral sides of the pronotum are slightly sinuate near the anterolateral angles in Alloneda and some species of Coelophora (e.g., Coelophora duvaucelii and C. decemguttata ).
Distribution. Asia (Indian Subcontinent; Southeast Asia. China).
Included species. Only Alloneda dodecaspilota (Hope) is known from this region at present. Yu (1998) provided a generic diagnosis and a key to the known species of Alloneda .
