SCHUHIRANDELLA NAMYATOVA AND CASSIS

Figures 9 , 23

Schuhirandella Namyatova & Cassis, 2013a: 100 (gen. nov.; type species Schuhirandella fulva Namyatova & Cassis, 2013 by monotypy); Namyatova & Cassis, 2013b: 707 (disc., phylogeny); Namyatova et al., in press (phylogeny).

Diagnosis: Schuhirandella belongs to the Monalonion - complex and is recognized by the following characters: antenna distinctly shorter than body ( Fig. 9 ); ASI distinctly shorter than head width (fig. 2A, D in Namyatova & Cassis, 2013a); ASIII–IV clavate; clypeus delimited with depression; medial fracture subparallel to R + M (as in fig. 11G in Namyatova et al., in press); scutellum flat, without outgrowth; dorsum clothed with suberect setae; metepimeron narrow and rounded (as in fig. 9C in Namyatova & Cassis, 2013b); and pretarsal claws broadly rounded ( Fig. 2F in Namyatova & Cassis, 2013a).

Description: See Namyatova & Cassis (2013a).

Host plants: Schuhirandella is known from Calothamnus sp. , Calothamnus quadrifidus R.Br. (Myrtaceae) and

Pityrodia bartlingii (Lehm.) Benth. (Lamiaceae) (see Namyatova & Cassis, 2013a for further details).
