Ovalofemora monstruosa (Khramov, 2013) comb. nov.

2013 Mesithone monstruosa Khramov, p. 224 ( Mesithoninae)

2015 Karataumantispa monstruosa Jepson, p. 426 ( Mesomantispinae)

Remarks. Ovalofemora monstruosa was originally placed within the genus Mesithone Panfilov, 1980 (Khramov, 2013) . It was later removed from Mesithone and placed in Karataumantispa along with Mesithone carnaria Khramov, 2013 (Jepson, 2015) . The placement of monstruosa within Karataumantispa was tentative, due to the poor preservation of the wing venation and the possession of a different foreleg morphology compared to K. carnaria (see Jepson, 2015). The discovery of Ovalofemora abbottae gen. et sp. nov., which shares a similar foreleg morphology (oval shaped, stout coxa, trochanter, femur, and hooked prostrate setae on tibia), in addition to similar venation, justified its removal from Karataumantispa and placement within a new genus, Ovalofemora gen. nov. The differences between the foreleg morphology of the Karatau mesomantispines are shown in Figure 3.
