Description
Genus Monocrita Förster, 1856
(junior synonym of Isostasius Förster, 1856)
Figs 13–14
Monocrita Förster, 1856: 106, 109. Type species Inostemma atinas Walker, 1835 by monotypy. Junior synonym of Isostasius Förster, 1856 – Masner 1965: 131.
Remarks
Förster differentiated Monocrita from Metaclisis based on the antennal segments. What he interpreted as a one-segmented clava in Monocrita is in fact an elongate A10 (Masner & Huggert 1989). The type species of Monocrita, Inostemma atinas Walker, 1835, was transferred to Isostasius by Masner (1965). Thus, Monocrita is a junior synonym of Isostasius. However, not all species described in Monocrita belong to Isostasius. Monocrita monheimii Förster, 1861 was transferred to Metaclisis (Vlug 1973). The type specimen and taxonomic position of Monocrita affinis Förster, 1861 are unknown (Vlug 1995).
