Genus Kodaianella Fennah, 1956

Kodaianella Fennah, 1956: 508 .

Type species: Kodaianella bicinctifrons Fennah, 1956 , by original designation.

Diagnosis

The genus Kodaianella can be differentiated from all other genera of Kodaianellini by the following combination of characters:

(1) the hind wings trilobed, with lobe ScP-R-MP-Cu distinctly wider than Pcu-A 1 and A 2 lobes, the two latter about the same width;

(2) the hind wings with A 1 vein 2-branched, both branches simple;

(3) the frons wider than long in midline, with incomplete median carina and without transverse carina;

(4) the anal tube with maximum width near apical margin in dorsal view;

(5) the aedeagus with one pair of ventral hooked processes.

Note

The genus Kodaianella was reviewed by Zhang & Chen (2010) who added two species from China. One of them, K. macheta Zhang & Chen, 2010 , was later synonymized under K. damnosa (Chou & Lu, 1985) by Gnezdilov (2013a), which in turn was transferred to the genus Dentatissus Chen, Zhang & Wang, 2014 by Chen et al. (2014). More recently, Chang et al. (2020) described a new species, K. furcata Chang & Chen, 2020 as well as two additional new species in the genus Sivaloka Distant, 1906 , which were both transferred to Kodaianella by Gnezdilov (2022a).
