Subgenus Ozmena Özdikmen, 2010, stat. nov.

Ozmena Özdikmen, 2010: 265 (new name for Takagia Negrobov, 1973, not Matsumura, 1942) (as subgenus of Sphyrotarsus Mik, 1874).

Takagia Negrobov, 1973: 1520 (as subgenus of Sphyrotarsus Mik, 1874) (not Matsumura, 1942). — Negrobov 1978: pl. CLXI (as genus, in error). — Type species: Sphyrotarsus stackelbergi Negrobov, 1965 (original designation).

Diagnosis

The main diagnostic character of the subgenus is the elongate antennal postpedicel in both male and female, and the apical stylus (Negrobov 1973). Nevertheless, some Oriental Diostracus species also have an elongate postpedicel and an apical or subapical stylus (e.g., Saigusa 1984; Yang et al. 2011). Unfortunately, there are practically no publications with pictures of female antennae in Diostracus species.
