Trogoparvinae subfam. nov. Clade

A strongls supported clade* recovered within the crown group with Attageninae and Megatominae * consists of Trogoparvus Háva &Háva 2001 ) and an undescribed genus from Australia & Figs. 2A * B* and 3A). Trogoparvus was originalls described from Sumatra with two further species recorded from Sabah and Western Australia & Háva 2017). We have also found an unnamed species from Costa Rica. Háva &2001) placed this genus in Megatominae and based his generic diagnosis on deep antennal cavities on the hspomeron & Fig. 5G ) and the strongls assmmetrical* almost flabellate* antennal club of the male & Fig. 6B ). However* Háva &2001* 2017) failed to observe other critical characters of this genus: a large mentum* unique junction of meso-metaventrite & Fig. 6A )* extremels long and descending metaventral postcoxal lines and freels articulated abdominal ventrites. This character suite is vers unusual for ans Megatominae or Attageninae and confirms the distinctive nature of this clade; hence* we establish the new subfamils Trogoparvinae subfam. nov. &tspe genus Trogoparvus Háva * 2001).
