Diagnosis.
Easily distinguished from other oriine genera by a combination of the following diagnostic characters: body
1.5–3.5 mm
, somewhat rectangular; head, thorax, and abdomen blackish, shining; postocular region not constricted; lateral margins of pronotum strongly convergent; hemelytra blackish with clear whitish patch, membrane generally with dark central patch; hind wing with two or three veins, hamus remote from junction of Cu and M-cu; ostiolar peritreme of metapleural scent gland with narrow margins, curved in a wide arc, reaching anterior border of metapleuron (
Postle
et al.
2001
;
Pluot-Sigwalt
et al.
2009
).
Distribution.
Tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zone worldwide, except for South
America
.
Remarks.
This genus currently comprises nine species worldwide. Of these, six species, including a new species described below, are distributed in East and Southeast Asia. In Africa, only two species,
M. moraguesi
and
M. longiceps
Poppius, 1910
, are now known to occur but
Pluot-Sigwalt
et al.
(2009)
suggest existence of several undescribed species. We also have confirmed at least two undescribed species of
Montandoniola
from Eastern and Southeast Asia during our continuing investigations.
