Name
Meggoleus Townes, 1971 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
Type species
Meggoleus spirator Townes, 1971.
It is a small Neotropical genus with five species; one Afrotropical species with large propodeal spiracles described in the genus Meggoleus (Khalaim 2007[1]) was recently found to belong to the genus Allophrys Förster (Khalaim 2017[2]). Nothing is known about host range of any Meggoleus species.
Three species of Meggoleus occurring in South America were revised by Alvarado (2012)[3]. Two of them, M. spirator Townes and M. pampahermosensis Alvarado, are known from Costa Rica (Khalaim and Broad 2012[4], Khalaim et al. 2018[5]), and the latter species was recorded also from Mexico (Khalaim et al. 2018[5]). In this paper, we describe two new species of Meggoleus from Mexico and Panama. Both new species possess small propodeal spiracles, clearly differing from three previously known taxa which are characterized by strongly enlarged propodeal spiracles. Record of M. hidalgoensis sp. nov. from Tamaulipas is a northernmost known locality for the genus Meggoleus. A partial key to the species of Meggoleus with small propodeal spiracles is provided.
