Turneria Hedqvist 1969: 177 View in CoL . Type species: Turneria scutellata Hedqvist (orig. desig. and by monotypy). [Preoccupied] Conodipara Hedqvist 1972: 58 . [Replacement name for Turneria View in CoL , preoccupied by Turneria Forel 1895 View in CoL ].
Diagnosis: Both sexes of Conodipara can be easily identified based on two autapomorphic features: a pair of projections on the dorso-lateral surface of the nucha and an L-shaped petiole, which is bent downward at 90°. No other diparines possess either of these features.
Discussion: In the phylogenetic analysis, Conodipara + ( Conophorisca , Myrmicolelaps ) was recovered as monophyletic based on 5 synapomorphies: the loss of sexual dimorphism, filiform antennae, a 2-segmented clava, posterior surface of mesopleuron heavily sculptured, and presence of a long petiole. Conodipara is also basal in a two-branch clade in which Pyramidophoriella occupies the basal position in the other branch. This clade was united by 3 synapomorphies, which include a conical scutellum, a reduced metanotum, and a posteriorly rising propodeum.
