Omyomymar Schauff, 1983: 544 View in CoL . Type species: Paranaphoidea silvana Ogloblin, 1935 View in CoL , by original designation.

Diagnosis. Body length 495–950 μm. Clava 2-segmented, the apical segment usually with a nipple-like projection ( Fig. 684 View FIGURES 684–687 ); mandibles minute stubs with apices not overlapping or extending to each other when closed ( Fig. 678 View FIGURES 678–681 ) ovipositor long and usually distinctly exserted posterior to apex of gaster ( Figs 677 View FIGURE 677 , 689 View FIGURES 688, 689 , 690 View FIGURES 690–692 ). Males are distinguished by the scape with inner surface covered in spine-like projections ( Fig. 685 View FIGURES 684–687 ).

Discussion. The head is strongly sexual dimorphic in Omyomymar , unlike the remaining three genera with fe- male clava 2-segmented [ Anaphes (Patasson) , Schizophragma , Platystethynium (Platypatasson) ] but like Krokella , in which the male head, especially the gena, is relatively enlarged ( Figs 680 View FIGURES 678–681 , 683 View FIGURES 682, 683 ) compared to the female ( Figs 678 View FIGURES 678–681 , 682 View FIGURES 682, 683 ) and this difference even applies to the pronotum where the female pronotum ( Fig. 686 View FIGURES 684–687 ) is much shorter than the male pronotum ( Fig. 691 View FIGURES 690–692 ), though it is not certain that the two specimens are conspecific. The male eye is relatively much smaller than the female eye. The slightly indented mesophragma, light coloured base of the gaster, and apical two segments of the male flagellum widely joined suggest that Schizophragma may be the most similar genus, though the considerable difference in head size between male and female is similar to that in Krokella .
