Genus GALODOXA Nagy, 1974

Type species. Galodoxa torquata Nagy, 1974 .

EMMENDED DIAGNOSIS — Clypeus with protruding median lobe. Palpal formula 6:3. Mesonotum with notauli and parapsidal furrows. Scutellum with scutellar groove. Forewing with three closed cells, narrow costal cell, median cell triangular and longer than rectangular submedian cell, latter at most half as long as former; prostigma inconspicuous and radial vein absent. Metapectal-propodeal complex finely areolate-rugulose. Mesopleuron without upper and lower foveae. Prosternum small. Female. Antenna monofiliform. Metasomal sternite IV extremely modified, with paired lateroventral fin-shaped projections. Occipital carina absent. Pronotal disc with median groove narrow and deep, only subtegular fovea present or conspicuous ( Figure 2). Male. Antenna at least as long as thorax ( Figures 3a, 4e, f), proximal flagellomeres submonofiliform and distal ones filiform. Head posteriorly with complex of posterior gular and occipital carinae ( Figures 3e, f, 5a). Eye as in Figure 3 c-f. Pronotal disc with anterior margin sharp and with two anterior foveae ( Figure 4a, b). Mesopleuron with prepectal depression. Metasomal sternite II with pair of rounded spots ( Figure 5c, arrows). Genitalia with parameres completely divided, cuspis absent or inconspicuously developed and aedeagus shorter or longer than remaining structures ( Figure 6a, b).

ADDITIONAL CHARACTERS — The weak transverse carina in the anterior margin of pronotal disc is understood as a

strong angulation between the disc and the collar; pronotal collar delimited anteriorly; epicoxal sulcus linear; anterior corner of propleuron angled; femora ventrally with scrobe; protibia apical posteroventral margin with mucron near spur (not spines as referred by Azevedo & Lanes (2009)); protarsus segment I apically with three flat outer dark spines in a group; metatibia with anteroventral spur straight and short, posterior apical margin with distal row of hard long setae and anterior apical margin with short black spine near short spur; metatarsus segment I with anteroventral apical black spine, segment IV almost half as long as remains.
