Description
Ovalofemora monstruosa (Khramov, 2013) comb. nov.
2013 Mesithone monstruosa Khramov, p. 224 (Mesithoninae)
2015 Karataumantispa monstruosa Jepson, p. 426 (Mesomantispinae)
Remarks. Ovalofemora monstruosa was originally placed within the genus Mesithone Panfilov, 1980 (Khramov, 2013). It was later removed from Mesithone and placed in Karataumantispa along with Mesithone carnaria Khramov, 2013 (Jepson, 2015). The placement of monstruosa within Karataumantispa was tentative, due to the poor preservation of the wing venation and the possession of a different foreleg morphology compared to K. carnaria (see Jepson, 2015). The discovery of Ovalofemora abbottae gen. et sp. nov., which shares a similar foreleg morphology (oval shaped, stout coxa, trochanter, femur, and hooked prostrate setae on tibia), in addition to similar venation, justified its removal from Karataumantispa and placement within a new genus, Ovalofemora gen. nov. The differences between the foreleg morphology of the Karatau mesomantispines are shown in Figure 3.
