Genus

Mongoliana
Distant, 1909: 87
.
Type
species.
Hemisphaerius chilocorides
Walker, 1851
, by original designation.
Diagnosis
The genus
Mongoliana
Distant, 1909
can be separated from the other genera of
Mongolianina
by the following combination of characters:
(1) the tegmina with venation indistinct and with their basal angle projecting anteriorly and forming a rounded lobe beside the head;
(2) the vertex wider than long;
(3) the frons rugulose, weakly convex and often with a row of tubercles along lateral and upper margins;
(4) the clypeus slightly elevated in midline but not sharply carinate and not produced anteriorly;
(5) the hind wings only slightly shorter than the tegmina.
Note
The genus was reviewed and redescribed by
Meng
et al
. (2016)
. More recently,
Zhang
et al
. (2020)
transferred
Hemisphaerius signifier
Walker, 1851
to the genus
Mongoliana
, hence indirectly providing the first record of the genus in
Vietnam
as
H. signifer
was recorded from Thanh-Ha,
Hoa Binh Province
, by
Fennah (1978)
. However, Fennah’s record is based on a female specimen, so a record of
M. signifer
in
Vietnam
still needs to be confirmed by a reliable identification based on male terminalia characters.
