Description
Alavesia hadroceria (Poinar and Vega), new combination
Neoalavesia hadroceria Poinar and Vega, 2020: 2.
DIAGNOSIS: A large species (wing length 2.8 mm), distinguished by scape longer than pedicel; forefemur with row of long ventral setae; CuA straight, angled obliquely outward; R 4+5 parallel to M 1+2 slightly diverging at apices; CuA+CuP strongly arched on apical third.
REMARKS: No specimens of this recently described species were discovered or identified. The report of a gelatinous deposit or possible spermatophore attached to the tip of abdomen of the holotype (Poinar and Vega, 2020, figs. 1, 8) is merely an air bubble.
