Type-species:
Coelindroma fungosa
Kramer, 1967
by original designation.
Diagnosis
(
Kramer, 1967
;
Marques-Costa, 2008
): General color faint yellow with reddish-orange maculae or band on crown, pronotum and mesonotum and large black median macula on median portion of apical third of crown (
Figs 23–25
); carina separating face and crown (
Figs 26–28
); ocelli on transition between crown and frons; lateral margins of clypeus with slight median constriction or parallel-sided (
Figs 2
,
13
); forewings with four apical and two anteapical cells; male pygofer with ventral tooth or hook; anal tube without processes (
Fig. 16
); plates fused except at apex and often with few macrosetae distally (
Figs 5
,
17
); connective Y-shaped (
Figs 8
,
20
); style with mesal lobe hooked (
Figs 7
,
19
); and aedeagus elongate and simple (
Figs 9
,
22
).
According to
Kramer (1967)
,
Coelindroma
can be separated from
Neocoelidiana
DeLong, 1953
, by the presence of macrosetae on the subgenital plates, the elongated aedeagus, and the simple anal tube.
Coelindroma
resembles
Tozzita
Kramer, 1964
,
Neocoelindroma
Marques-Costa & Cavichioli, 2007
and
Tetralidia
Marques-Costa & Cavichioli, 2008
, in having the forewing with indistinct venation, except apically; subgenital plates fused in the basal two thirds (except in
Coelindroma cornuta
sp. nov.
fused in basal half), without a dorsoapical tooth and the aedeagus with the shaft long and slender. It differs from these genera in having the forewing with two anteapical cells and the anal tube without basal processes.
In a phylogenetic analysis of
Neocoelidiinae
genera (
Marques-Costa, 2008
),
Coelindroma
is sister to
Tozzita
Kramer, 1964
, sharing the following synapomorphies: hind tibiae with anteroventral (AV) setal row present only in apical half and connective longer than half length of styles. It differs in the position of the ocelli, which in
Tozzita
are located on the crown near the anterior margin, but in
Coelindroma
are located on the anterior margin of the head, at the transition between crown and frons; the lateral margins of the clypeus in
Tozzita
are convergent apically, but in
Coelindroma
are parallel-sided or with a slight median constriction; the male pygofer has a spatulate dorsoventrally flattened apex in
Tozzita
,
but in
Coelindroma
the apex is rounded or acute, never spatulate; the connective is V-shaped in
Tozzita
and Y-shaped in
Coelindroma
.
Another genus near
Coelindroma
is
Neocoelindroma
, which resembles the latter in having a black spot at the apex of the crown.
Neocoelindroma
differs from
Coelindroma
by the black coloration of the head, presence of a long coronal suture, hind tibia anteroventral (AV) setal row with two short separated setae on the apical third; while in
Coelindroma
, row AV has a greater number of setae distributed over its apical half; in
Neocoelindroma
the male pygofer has a tooth at the apical third on the ventral margin (tooth on basal half of ventral margin in
Coelindroma
) and the connective is approximately one third of the length of styles.
