Kelisiinae Wagner 1963

Description

Subfamily Kelisiinae Wagner Tribe Kelisiini Wagner

Description. Gonapophyses IX strongly curvilinear, average length 636.40–1404.35 µm, width 34.88–46.04 µm; numerous, well-rounded teeth extending half of distal margin (Fig. 15); apex porrect and blunt, dorsal margin overlapping ventral margin.

Notes. There is a single tribe in the subfamily, consisting of 52 species in two genera, with most species in Kelisia. Kelisiinae are exclusively Holarctic and closely related to Stenocraninae. Hamilton (2006) asserted that Kelisiinae should be a subtribe of Stenocraninae, but Urban et al. (2010) did not find sufficient evidence to support a sister-group relationship. Host associations are exclusively on graminoids, predominately on sedges (Ossiannilsson 1978, Nickel 2003, Bartlett & Wheeler 2007, Bartlett 2014).
