Type species

Stenohya vietnamensis Beier, 1967 by original designation.

Diagnosis

Trichobothria et, est and it are grouped together distally, eb, esb, isb and ib are grouped together basally, ist situated medially between et -est -it and eb -esb -isb -ib, or closer to et -est -it than to eb -esb -isb -ib; t and st grouped together distally, b and sb grouped together basally.

Remarks

The original diagnosis of Stenohya provided by Harvey (1991b) was: trichobothrium ist situated midway between ib and it, and far removed from et, est and it (which are grouped together distally) and eb, esb, isb and ib (which are grouped together basally). At that time, all species of Stenohya except S. hamata ( Leclerc & Mahnert, 1988) fitted this diagnosis. The species S. hamata has an ist situated sub-distally, closer to et -est -it than to eb -esb -isb -ib, which was noticed by Harvey (1991b). As more and more species of Stenohya have been described and reported with ist situated sub-distally ( Guo et al. 2019; Li & Shi 2023; Zhan et al. 2023; Zhao et al. 2024), the original diagnosis is redefined in this study.
