Genus Monepidosis Mamaev, 1966 View in CoL

A bibliography including the synonymy of the genus Monepidosis was given in the revision of Porricondylinae by Jaschhof & Jaschhof (2013). Species of Monepidosis can be distinguished from each other using characters of the male gonocoxites, or more specifically, the processes at the ventroposterior gonocoxal margin, which vary in size, shape and position. There are two kinds of processes: the gonocoxal processes, which are outgrowths of the medial bridges, and the central processes, which are outgrowths of the ventral bridge ( Jaschhof & Jaschhof 2013; this paper, Fig. 10A View Fig ). Apart from genitalic structures, the morphology of male Monepidosis is extremely uniform. Females and larvae of most Monepidosis species, including the species treated here, are unknown.
