Genus Ptilomymar Annecke & Doutt View in CoL ( Figs. 230–236 View FIGURES 230–236 )

Ptilomymar Annecke & Doutt, 1961: 24 View in CoL . Type species: Ptilomymar rete Annecke & Doutt View in CoL , by original designation.

Diagnosis. Ptilomymar belongs to the Camptoptera group of genera despite having only four tarsal segments – a result of fusion of tarsomeres 4 and 5. It has many distinctive features, presumably adaptations to its putatively aquatic habits. Ptilomymar is distinguished from other genera in the group as follows: funicle 8-segmented ( Fig. 236 View FIGURES 230–236 ), tarsi 4-segmented, propodeum sublaterally with large, areolate, translucent lamina ( Fig 235 View FIGURES 230–236 ) and propodeal seta branched; petiole ventrally and gastral tergum 1 sublaterally with areolate, translucent lamina ( Fig. 233 View FIGURES 230–236 ); mandible bidentate. Fore leg as in Fig. 231 View FIGURES 230–236 . Male flagellum 11-segmented ( Fig. 232 View FIGURES 230–236 ) but segment 1 sometimes very short so appearing 10-segmented. Gentialia as in Fig. 234 View FIGURES 230–236 .

Body length. 465–644 µm.

Distribution. Worldwide, except western Palearctic.

Hosts. Unknown. Probably an aquatic insect because Ptilomymar spp. are almost always collected with pan traps set on or beside running or standing water.
