Name

Mesa Kimsey, 2011 Saussure – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

  • Mesa Saussure 1890[1]: 244.

Type species:

Mesa heterogamia Saussure 1890[1], designated by Krombein 1937[2].

Discussion

The genus Mesa is found from the Afrotropical Region, including Madagascar, north and east into Iran and Myanmar. Mesa males are characterized by having metasomal segment I more than three times as long as broad and the terga without a transverse subbasal carina or ridge. Hosts are unknown for the genus.
Although Bartalucci (2005)[3] removed Mesa hova (Turner) from synonymy under Mesa nodosa (Guérin de Meneville 1837) he did not clearly describe the male and it is unclear, which male is associated with the female type of Mesa hova.
