Genus
Montina
Amyot & Serville, 1843
The genus
Montina
Amyot & Serville, 1843
currently includes ten species (
Maldonado 1990
).
Stål (1872)
separated
Montina lobata
Stål, 1859
and
M. sinuosa
(
Lepeletier & Serville, 1825
)
from other species of
Montina
based on the connexival margins from third to fifth (actually, segments IV–VI) abdominal segments which are distinctly enlarged as rounded lobes (
Fig. 35
) (versus with at most prominent posterolateral corners in the other species of the genus). In relation to
Ecuador
, besides some records of unidentified species of
Montina
, the only species recorded at this country was
Montina fumosa
(Stål, 1866) (
Froeschner 1981
)
. Therefore, the two species cited here are new records to
Ecuador
.
