Initially, I considered that

represented a new genus related to

because the funicle is 7-segmented in females and the 2-toothed mandibles cross over when closed, but it exhibits several features that appeared to be very different from other species classified in the genus: 1) the body, especially the vertex and mesosoma, with a faint but distinct mother-of-pearl sheen and scarcely any visible sculpture or setae, 2) the head in lateral view strongly angular, the face distinctly projecting forward in front of eyes, 3) the fore wing distinctly curved, with the hind margin concave distally and with almost no microtrichia on disc except along margins, and 4) the short, almost globular metasoma with strongly oblique, V-shaped terga. However, study of a diversity of mostly undescribed species from five continents failed to yield a single feature could be used to distinguish unequivocally my proposed genus. One or more of the features listed above occur in one or more other species that clearly belong to

into a new subgenus, though it might be worth treating it as a representative of a species group defined by the relatively wide and apically curved fore wing. The generic synonymy in the species list above already suggested not only that 
<emphasis box="[421,599,343,369]" italics="true" pageId="10" pageNumber="243">Dicopomoropha</emphasis>
is morphologically diverse but also showed that it was easily confused with related genera. To propose yet more genera would begin (again) a trend to oversplit
