CALLODICOPUS Ogloblin, 1955 View in CoL

( Figs 163–183 View FIGURE 163 View FIGURES 164–166 View FIGURES 167–169 View FIGURES 172–177 View FIGURES 178–183 )

Callodicopus Ogloblin, 1955: 377 View in CoL . Type species: Callodicopus crassula Ogloblin, 1955 View in CoL , by original designation.

Decamymar Annecke, 1961b: 68 View in CoL . Type species: Decamymar magiclavae, Annecke, 1961 , by monotypy. Synonymy by Huber & Lin, 1999: 26.

Diagnosis. Funicle 7-segmented, with fu 2 about as long as fu 1 or fu 3 ( Fig. 166 View FIGURES 164–166 ); mandibles with 2 equal teeth, crossing when closed ( Fig. 177 View FIGURES 172–177 ); occiput separated from gena/postgena by vertexal trabecula, a thick bar of cuticle (in photographs) extending transversely across posterior surface of head to posterior apex or each supraorbital sulcus, the latter extending ventrally at least to level of occipital foramen ( Fig. 165 View FIGURES 164–166 ); in scanning electron micrographs the cuticular bar appearing as a thin sulcus ( Fig. 173 View FIGURES 172–177 ); mesophragma projecting slightly into gaster (Fig. 171); gt 1 about same length as each following tergum ( Fig. 183 View FIGURES 178–183 ).

Discussion. Callodicopus belongs to the Alaptus group of genera, together with Alaptus , Dicopomorpha , and Dicopus though it appears to be a link with the Camptoptera group of genera. The main feature that supports place- ment in the former group is the wide propodeal foramen with the mesophragma projecting slightly through it into the gaster. However, the back of the head closely resembles members of the Camptoptera group of genera because of the presence of a median vertical coronal sulcus ( Figs 165 View FIGURES 164–166 , 173 View FIGURES 172–177 ).

The first Callodicopus species known in America north of Mexico is described below. Several other specimens were examined but do not seem to have the back of the head with a thick transverse bar of cuticle ( Fig. 165 View FIGURES 164–166 ) extending above the foramen from eye to eye; they may be species of Dicopomorpha . The limits of both genera need clarification.
