MYMAR Curtis, 1829 View in CoL

( Figs 187 View FIGURE 187 )

Mymar Curtis, 1829: 112 View in CoL . Type species: Mymar pulchellum Curtis, 1832 View in CoL , by designation under the plenary powers of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1965: 82 ( ICZN 1965). See Huber et al. (2020) for generic synonyms and their type species.

Diagnosis. Face without subantennal sulcus ventral to each torulus and without pit medial to each torulus; toruli abutting transverse trabecula; scape, especially in female, unusually long and slightly constricted medially ( Fig. View FIGURE 187

187); fore wing extremely narrow for about 0.6 × its length ( Fig. 187 View FIGURE 187 ), hind wing filamentous ( Fig. 187 View FIGURE 187 ); propodeum without median carina except perhaps a very short one; petiole attached to gt 1.

Remarks. Mymar belongs to the Polynema group of genera. Mymar , Neomymar and Tetrapolynema are the only genera of the group that have the toruli in contact with the transverse trabecula. Mymar is most easily distinguished by the combination of mostly narrow fore wing with a distinct dark apical spot in the enlarged apical section, and the hind wing without membrane but consisting only of venation.

Neotropical hosts. Unknown.
