Paramioscarta brunnea
(
Lallemand, 1920
)
by monotypy.
Synthetic description
Paramioscarta
is an endemic monospecific genus of
Madagascar
. It shares features with the genus
Amberana
but can be differentiated by its broader general shape and by the large parameres of male genitalia. A synthesis based on Lallemand descriptions (
Lallemand 1920
,
1949
) and material examined is presented below:
HEAD. Wider than long. Ocelli closer to each other than to compound eyes and separated by a carina. Median part of vertex strongly domed; lateral margins of dome not parallel, with recess in middle giving this structure a lock shape. Postclypeus rounded in lateral view, striated laterally with triangular dimple just below frons-postclypeus suture as in genus
Amberana
. Upper part of postclypeus with vertical furrow.
THORAX. Three clear dimples just behind anterior margin on each side of pronotum; another one discernable in middle part. Hindlegs with one spine on metatibiae.
MALE GENITALIA. Male genitalia with sterno-lateral plates and large parameres clearly exceeding pygofer margin.
