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 ). Map 7. Distribution map of 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 ).
