COSMOCOMOIDEA Howard, 1908 View in CoL

( Fig. 340 View FIGURE 340 )

Cosmocomoidea Howard, 1908: 68 View in CoL . Type species: Cosmocomoidea morrilli Howard, 1908 , by monotypy. Treated by various authors as a subgenus or synonym under Ooctonus View in CoL , Lymaenon or Gonatocerus View in CoL but given generic status by Huber (2015a).

Diagnosis. Body length 615–2075 μm. Antenna with funicle 8-segmented; tarsi 5-segmented; funicle with fu 2 and fu 3 not the longest segments; ocellar triangle with 2 setae between lateral ocelli; pronotal lobes abutting medially; dorsellum rhomboidal; fore wing relatively wide with few or no microtrichiae behind venation; stigmal vein with apex oblique; propodeum with 2 submedian carinae.

Discussion. Four genera in the Nearctic ( Cosmocomoidea , Gastrogonatocerus, Gonatocerus , and Lymaenon ) share the following combination of features: tarsi 5-segmented, funicle 8-segmented, face with subantennal sulci, and parastigma with hypochaeta about midway between proximal and distal macrochaetae ( Huber 2015a). Among these, Cosmocomoidea is most similar to Gonatocerus , which has narrower fore wings, fu 2 and fu 3 usually the longest segments, and propodeum without carinae or, at most, a trace of them.

Nearctic hosts. Hemiptera : Cicadellidae .
