Elaphopsocoides Román-P., García Aldrete & González

Elaphopsocoides Román-P., García Aldrete & González, 2014: 94. Type species: E. colombiensis Román-P., García Aldrete & González.

This genus of two species was assigned to the subfamily Amphigerontiinae sensu Lienhard & Smithers (2002) and Yoshizawa et al. (2011). It differs from Elaphopsocus as follows: forewing pattern with cells m1 and m2 mostly hyaline (except for details in forewing pattern of Elaphopsocus glaphyrostigma Roesler; compare Figs 3 and 17, in Román-P. et al., 2014, with Fig. 50 in this paper). Hypandrium with a large posterior process in the middle, and postero-lateral corners with 2–3 posterior projections. Phallosome with side struts clearly independent, with large, distally pointed projections, mesally on inner side; external parameres slender, distally rugose, not forming an arch; aedeagal arms stout, distally dilated, rugose. Subgenital plate and gonapophyses essentially as in Elaphopsocus, but with v3 bearing a posterior process.

Comment. This genus is the sister genus to Elaphopsocus . The above diagnosis is presented to discriminate the two genera unequivocally.
