Genus
Kethleyana
Kivganov, 1995
Type
species:
K. gelochelidoni
Kivganov, 1995
Only
one species has been described—
K. gelochelidoni
Kivganov, 1995
from
Sterna nilotica
(Sternidae)
from the
Ukraine
(
Kivganov & Sharafat 1995
)—and no other data have accrued since the first description. This monotypic genus is very similar to the genus
Creagonycha
but species of this genus have lost one pair of paragenital setae (

) in females.
