Quiva
Hebard, 1927
Diagnosis.
Slender insects, white with black spots, translucent tegmina with brown or black spots in most species (
Fig. 22E
), except for
Q. angieae
with black tegmina (
Fig. 22A
). Vertex smooth, not distinctly elevated at the fastigium, rounded and curved, ending in a blunt tooth, a little separated from the fastigium of the frons. Face rounded without lateral carinae (
Figs. 22B, F, I
). Tegmina very narrow, medial vein with two branches connected to the cubital vein by a short vein. Fore femur with two spinules on external genicular lobe, dorsal margin of fore tibiae unarmed except for a single apical, lateral spine. Hind femur with basal half of its length thickened, then narrowed abruptly into thin distal half. Ventral margin of hind femur armed with small spinules, in the same way as the dorsal margin of the hind tibiae (
Figs. 22A, E
). Male cerci with a small internal triangular spine, outer branch elongated (
Figs. 22H, Q, T
), and with an apical spine, except
Q. angieae
(
Fig. 22D
). Male subgenital plate elongate with small styli. (
Figs. 22G, M, V
) Ovipositor as long as pronotum, slightly curved, margins from mesal to distal region serrulate.
Type
species.
Quiva diaphana
Hebard, 1927
, by original designation.
Distribution.
Mostly Amazon region, one species from the Andes (
Map 7
).

Quiva
species.
Comments.
Unlike the other genera of the
Dysoniini
with typical lichen and bryophyte camouflage, the species of
Quiva
mimic wasps of the family
Ichneumonidae
(Cadena-Castañeda pers. obs.). A similar
type
of mimicry is found in the phaneropterine genera
Aganacris
Walker, 1871
and
Scaphura
Kirby, 1825
, which mimic wasps of the family
Pompilidae
(Nickle 2012;
Sovano
et al
. 2018
).

Quiva
(adapted from
Cadena-Castañeda & Gorochov, 2013
and Cadena-Castañeda
et al
., 2015)
1. Tegmina with distinctly smaller cells in costal area and with vein MA not fused with Rs (
Fig. 22A
); male cerci with outer branch distinctly shorter than inner branch (
Fig. 22C
); male subgenital plate with rather long styli and shallow emargination between them (
Fig. 22C
)...............................................
Q.
(
Paraquiva
)
angieae
Cadena-Castañeda, 2013
Tegmina with large membranous cells in costal area and with distal part of MA connected by a short vein with Rs before Rs bifurcation (
Fig. 22E
); male cerci with outer branch distinctly longer than inner branch (
Figs. 22K, Q, T
); male subgenital plate with very short styli and rather deep emargination between them (
Figs. 22G, M, V
)........................

2. Outer branch of male cerci with almost truncate apex having much thinner apical spine; inner branch very short, much shorter than outer branch (
Figs. 22H, K, N
).......................................................
Diaphana group
...3 Outer branch of male cerci with more or less gradually narrowing distal part (apical part of this branch insignificantly narrower than its remaining part); inner branch of cerci of diverse length (
Figs. 22Q, T, W

3. Short postero-dorsal projection of last abdominal tergite of male not very wide and with a straight or slightly concave posteromedian edge; outer branch of male cerci with medial curvature of its distal part located rather far from base of inner branch, and with very thin apical spine (
Fig. 22H
)..................................................
