Genus Omyomymar Schauff ( Figs. 183–189)

Omyomymar Schauff, 1983: 544 . Type species: Paranaphoidea silvana Ogloblin , by original designation.

Diagnosis. Omyomymar belongs to the Anagrus group of genera. It is distinguished from other genera in the group as follows: clava 2-segmented ( Fig. 184) and sometimes with a variably distinct nipplelike process at apex of second segment (in one species this process is actually a separate but very small third segment); fore wing narrow and somewhat pointed at apex, with one or two parallel lines of microtrichia on membrane beyond venation extending to uniformly setose apical part of wing ( Fig. 186); ovipositor distinctly exserted and sheaths with one subapical seta each ( Fig. 185); mesophragma widely and deeply notched at apex and not projecting into gaster. Fore leg as in Fig. 183. Male with flagellum 11-segmented and scape with inner surface appearing spiny, with several enlarged sensilla basiconica ( Fig. 187). Eye small, gena huge, almost twice as wide as eye width. Genitalia as in Figs. 188, 189.

Omyomymar is most similar to Schizophragma , which also has a 2-segmented clava (but without nipplelike process) and mesophragma widely notched apically in females. Schizophragma has a wider fore wing with rounded apex ( Fig. 242 ) and the ovipositor is at most only slightly exserted ( Fig. 245 ).

Body length. 594–841 µm.

Distribution. Worldwide, except western Palaearctic region.

Hosts. Unknown.
