| description |
A single male specimen of an undescribed genus of Coniopterygidae
was collected in a blacklight trap in Las Cruces. New
Mexico. The specimen keys out to the genus Helicoconis Enderlein
of the subfamily Aleuropteryginae in Meinander's (1972) key, but
genitalic studies show the need for a new generic designation. Because
the genitalia of this new genus differ from all known genera
of Coniopterygidae, it is difficult to make comparisons, but for
descriptive purposes, the genitalia are compared to those of Helicoconis.
The structures referred to here as ectoprocts are probably
equivalent to the ectoprocts of Helicoconis but may represent
other structures. |
