Genus: Karataumantispa Jepson, 2015 View in CoL
Type species: Karataumantispa carnaria ( Khramov, 2013)
Revised diagnosis (after Khramov, 2013; Jepson, 2015): Differs from other mesomantispines by the combination of the following characters: forecoxa and trochanter slender, forefemur length to width ratio (at widest part) is approximately 4, foretibia and foretarsus combined, longer than forefemur; foretibia with large hooked prostrate setae. Forewing: RA and RP curving towards wing apex at an angle (after the bend of Sc); RP with 6–7 branches; MP forked deeply, slightly distal to fork of M; CuP deeply forked not pectinate. Colour pattern represented by very small spots: consisting of 3–4 small dots in M and Cu area.
Comparison. Differs from Archaeodrepanicus , Sinomesomantispa , Clavifemora , and Mesomantispa in RA and RP being curved towards wing apex at an angle [RA and RP appear almost horizontal in these genera], and non-pectinate deeply forked CuP. Differs from all other genera in having a deeply forked MP [MP simple in other genera]. Further differs from Archaeodrepanicus , Sinomesomantispa , and Clavifemora in having the foretibia and foretarsus combined being longer than the forefemur. Differs from Clavifemora and Ovalofemora gen. nov. in having a slender forefemur [ Clavifemora : greatly enlarged, club like; Ovalofemora gen. nov.: elongate, oval]. The presence of large hooked prostrate setae on the foretibia separates it from all other genera except Ovalofemora gen. nov. and Longicolllum gen. nov. (forelegs however, are not known in Mesomantispa ). Differs from Longicollum gen. nov. in having only a slightly elongate pronotum, 1.1x longer than wide [ Longicollum gen. nov. has a very elongate pronotum].
Remarks. Originally Karataumantispa also included the species K. monstruosa ( Khramov, 2013) , however this species was only tentatively placed in the genus by Jepson (2015), it has now been removed from Karataumantispa (herein).
