Genus Himopolynema Taguchi View in CoL ( Figs. 147–152 View FIGURES 147–152 )

Himopolynema Taguchi, 1977: 137 View in CoL . Type species: Himopolynema hishimonus Taguchi View in CoL , by original designation.

Diagnosis. Himopolynema belongs to the Polynema group of genera. It is distinguished from other genera in the group as follows: propodeum with oval median area defined by U-shaped submedian carinae ( Fig. 152 View FIGURES 147–152 ); axilla with stong, blunt seta ( Fig. 152 View FIGURES 147–152 ); face with a pit next to each torulus ( Fig. 150 View FIGURES 147–152 ); petiole attached to gastral tergum.Wings and antenna as in Figs. 147, 148 View FIGURES 147–152 . Male flagellum 11-segmented ( Fig. 149 View FIGURES 147–152 ) and genitalia as in Fig. 151 View FIGURES 147–152 .

Himopolynema is most likely to be confused with Acmopolynema or some Palaeoneura (those formerly in Chaetomymar ); with the former because of the similar propodeal carina and with the latter because of the relatively long, apically blunt axillar seta. These two features occur together only in Himopolynema .

Body length. About 800 µm (S. Triapitsyn, pers. comm.).

Distribution. Eastern Palaearctic, Oriental, Australian regions.

Hosts. Unknown for Australian species. Elsewhere recorded from Cicadellidae .
