Gelastogonia gibbera Goding — Sakakibara (1996a: 101)

Material examined: Holotype (photograph) female of Gelastogonia gibbera from ECUADOR, AMNH_IZC 00343445 ( AMNH).

Comments: Ennya gibbera was originally described in the genus Gelastogonia , transferred to Ennya by Metcalf & Wade (1965) and back to Gelastogonia by Sakakibara (1996a). This species belongs to Ennya based on the navicular pronotum shape and the simple longitudinal carinae ( Sakakibara 1996a). The exact type locality is unknown.

Ennya gibbera resembles E. andina and E. pacifica in having a triangular blunt dorsal process elevated above the humeral angles. However, the anterior margin of the dorsal process of E. gibbera is sub-perpendicular and exhibits a different color pattern.
