Description

Ennya funkhouseri (Goding, 1928) stat. rev. (Figs. 6H–I, 10A)

Gelastogonia funkhouseri Goding, 1928: 138

Ennya funkhouseri Goding — Metcalf & Wade (1965: 1026)

Ennya rufomaculata Fallou Equals Ennya funkhouseri Goding — Sakakibara (1996a: 95)

Material examined: Syntype (photograph) male Gelastogonia funkhouseri from ECUADOR: Huigra (USNM).

Comments: Sakakibara (1996a) considered Ennya funkhouseri as the junior synonym of E. rufomaculata but the latter does not belong to the genus Ennya (see below). Ennya funkhouseri cannot be placed in Gelastogonia because the pronotum lacks reticulate carinae and the dorsal process is not foliaceous (Sakakibara 1996a).

Ennya funkhouseri differs from its congeners in having the dorsal process trapezoidal and longer than high with the anterior and posterior vertex rounded. This species is similar to E. chlorizans stat. rev. but the anterior vertex is not acute and not higher than the posterior vertex.
