Diapheromeridae : Lonchodinae

Whilst revising Hyrtacus Stål, 1875 (= Marcenia Sjöstedt, 1918 syn. n.), from critical examination of the type species, it became evident from body morphology and eggs that only small, robust species belong to this genus, leaving a another genus to accommodate the related, slender species normally strongly associated with the genus Hyrtacus . In the event, Denhama Werner, 1912 has already been described and is here transferred from Tropidoderinae . The genus is redescribed in the light of additional species.
