MEGAMYMAR Huber, 2022 View in CoL
( Fig. 186 View FIGURE 186 )
Megamymar Huber View in CoL in Huber & Read, 2022: 3 View Cited Treatment . Type species: Megamymar waorani Huber, 2022 View in CoL , by original designation.
Diagnosis. Megamymar is placed is the Polynema group of genera. It differs from the superficially somewhat similar Australomymar (in a different group of genera) by the much shorter fore wing venation, by the much shorter length of the ovipositor sheaths, which are not exserted beyond the apex of the gaster, and by gt 1, which extends anteriorly, dorsal to the propodeum ( Fig. 186 View FIGURE 186 ).
Remarks. At just over 4.5 mm long, individuals of Megamymar are by far the longest Mymaridae in the Neotropical region, exceeding the length of Erdosiella mirum (about 3.8 mm long) by about 800 micrometers and individuals of some long Australomymar species by even more.
Neotropical hosts. Unknown.
