Polletomyia Curler, 2020 View in CoL
Type species: Polletomyia subulata Curler, 2020:141 View in CoL , by monotype and original designation.
Diagnosis. Males and females: eye bridge contiguous, with three facet rows; flagellomere 1 and flagellomeres 12-14 lack ascoids; ascoids, when present, are unbranched and can be found either singly or in pairs in flagellomeres 2 to 11. Wing: lanceolate, with pointed apex; Rs pectinate; wing apex between R 4 and R 5. Male terminalia: bilaterally symmetrical; aedeagus comprised of four blade-like sclerites surrounded by a membranous sheath; cerci long, digitiform, slightly curved anteriorly with one apical, setiform tenaculum.
Comments. CURLER (2020) proposed as a diagnostic character the presence of conical setae in the apex of gonostyli, however, these setae are not observed in the new species. This character was not considered as diagnostic of the genus; it is a diagnostic character of Polletomyia subullata Curler, 2020 .
