Ateleute Förster, 1869 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

• Psychostenus Uchida, 1955: 32. Type-species: Psychostenus minusculae Uchida.
• Talorga Cameron, 1911: 63. Type-species: Talorga spinipes Cameron; monobasic.
• Tsirirella Seyrig, 1952: 44. Type-species: Tsirirella tsiriria Seyrig; designated by Townes, Townes and Gupta 1961.

Diagnosis

Ateleute can be distinguished from all other genera of Cryptini by combination of the following characters: Apical margin of clypeus sharp, truncate or concave. Lower tooth of mandible as long as or slightly longer than upper tooth. Epomia absent. Genal carina joining base of mandible or joining hypostomal carina near base of mandible. Sternaulus weak and shallow. Posterior transverse carina of mesosternum complete. Areolet large, receiving 2m-cu basal of its middle, 3rs-m absent or almost absent. Hind wing vein M+Cu strongly arched, 2-1A absent or very short. First tergum without median dorsal carina, often with longitudinal wrinkles, spiracle near its middle. Ovipositor sheath about 0.65 times as long as hind tibia. Tip of ovipositor distinctly elongate.

Host

According to previous records (Momoi 1977, Townes 1967, Uchida 1955), hosts are Cryptothelea minuscula Butler and Astala confederata (Grote & Robinson) (Psychidae).
