Description
(Figs 58–63)
Borneomymar Huber, 2002: 45. Type species: Borneomymar discus Huber, 2002, by original designation.
Diagnosis. Female antenna with funicle 8-segmented (Fig. 60); fore wing venation extending 0.75× length of fore wing (Fig. 62), marginal vein almost as long as submarginal vein and about 2× as long as parastigma, with 1 distal macrochaeta; postmarginal vein present and longer than stigmal vein; ovipositor sheath short, not extending beyond posterior apex of gaster, and apically hooked (Fig. 61); ovipositor extremely long, projecting beyond apex of gaster by over 2× length of entire body (Fig. 59). Males are distinguished from those of Arescon and Chrysoctonus by the apical 4 flagellar segments about 2× as wide as the basal 4 (uniform width for all flagellar segments in the other two genera).
Discussion. Borneomymar belongs to the Borneomymar group of genera. In the Afrotropical region this group also includes Chrysoctonus. These two genera are the only ones besides Arescon with a fore wing venation at least 0.6× the wing length (in Chrysoctonus, only males have wings). Among these, Borneomymar females are distinguished from the other two genera by the exserted part of the ovipositor (but not the ovipositor sheaths, which are not exserted) about 2× as long as the entire body.
Afrotropical hosts. Unknown.
