Stenentoma
Diakonoff, 1969
Type
species:
Stenentoma chrysolampra
Diakonoff, 1969
.
Stenentoma
was described by
Diakonoff (1969)
to accommodate two species from Aldabra Island,
S. chrysolampra
Diakonoff, 1969
(male genitalia of
holotype
illustrated by
Diakonoff 1969
: fig. 30) and
S. onychosema
Diakonoff, 1969
(male genitalia of
holotype
illustrated by
Diakonoff 1969
: fig. 39).
Razowski and Krüger (2007)
recently transferred
S. bisecta
(Meyrick, 1918)
and
S. plectocosma
(Meyrick, 1921)
to the genus.
Diakonoff (1969)
concluded that
Stenentoma
belonged to the “
Laspeyresia
,
Pammene
, or
Hemimene
group of species” (
Cydia
group of genera
sensu
Komai 1999
). The male genitalia are characterized by a very narrow tegumen and long, narrow valvae with a rounded subapical excavation along the venter. Host plants previously were unreported for the genus.
