Description

Paraneella Carvalho, 1954b

(Fig. 1B)

Tope species: Paraneella amazonica Carvalho, 1954b. By monotypy and original designation.

Paraneella Carvalho, 1954b: 100–101 (original description, fig.); Carvalho, 1957: 119 (catalogue); Carvalho, 1960: 49 (key); Carvalho and Froeschner, 1987: 133 (list); Carvalho and Ferreira, 1995: 477 (key); Schuh, 2002–13 (online catalogue); Mingheti et al., 2023: 1–9 (redescription, key).

Discussion: In our analysis Paraneella is recovered as monophyletic supported by 19 synapomorphies: seven continuous characters: relations: eyes height/head height (1:0.033), labrum length/labial segment I length (4:0.063), antennal segment I, length/antennal segment II (6:0.122), antennal fossa length/eye height (7:0.036), labial segment I length/vertex width (8:0.102), claval commissure length/scutellum length (13: 0.218), and cuneus length/anterior cuneal margin width (15:0.16); eight discrete contradictory synapomorphic characters: frons globose (30:1), collar glabrous (44:0), anterior pronotal lobe evidently differentiated from posterior lobe, like a neck (49:1), inner margin of cuneus sinuate (71:1), medial angle of membrane cell acute (77:1) and with its posterior margin slightly concave (79:1), procoxae separated from each other (82:1), and laterals and/or posterior margins of cuneus brown to black (157:1) and four discrete synapomorphic characters: vertex globose (31:3), antennal segment I with distal half wider, abruptly swollen at middle (37:4), setae of pronotum absent (53:0), and base of mesofemur expanded (85:1). For a discussion of the genus see Mingheti et al., 2023.
