Name
Hondurantemna Rodrigues & Rivera & Reid & Svenson, 2017 gen. n. – Wikispecies link – ZooBank link – Pensoft Profile
Type species
Hondurantemna chespiritoi sp. n. by monotypy
Diagnosis
Rounded compound eyes, nymphs and adult males have a medial ocellar process, subadult and adult females without the process. Forelegs with five posteroventral spines and four discoidal spines. Mid- and hindlegs with a single small lobe near the apex of the femur. Male’s forewings are hyaline with green crossveins, forewings of females with a spot close to the center of the discoidal area.
Etymology
The generic epithet combines the words Honduras, country were the majority of specimens we studied were collected, and Antemna, in reference to the morphological similarities of both Antemninae genera.
