gen. n.
Type
species.
Oisedicus maginus
sp. n.
Diagnosis.
Head arcuately curved ventrad. Lateral portion of pronotum distinctly widened. Fore wing with stem Sc+R forked at ½ from base.
Hind
wing with common stem Sc+R+CuA; vein CuA visible, as long as terminals R1 and Rs.
Remarks.
This genus differs from other genera by a unique combination of characters: stem Sc+R forked at ½ from base; hind wing with common stem Sc+R+CuA as long as terminals R1 and Rs. From the recent genus
Aleurodicus
it differs by antennae 8-segmented (7-segmented in
Aleurodicus
), and hind wing venation (short common stem of Sc+R and CuA, shorter than terminals R1 and Rs in
Aleurodicus
).
Oisedicus
and
Aleurodicus
are somewhat similar in the late forking of the fore wing Sc+R+CuA stem.
Etymology
. Generic name is a combination of the name of the river Oise and suffix ~
dicus
(from the generic name
Aleurodicus
). Gender masculine.
