Figure 2. — Lojata ohatisi (Schmidt), type: j, forewing, outline, 



on the elevations, disc strongly pubescent, posterior margin concave, 

 with a complete strong dorsopleural keel; scutellum coarsely pubescent, 

 without striae on posterior portion, Forewing brachypterous, exposing 

 five abdominal terga, without membrane, veins indistinct, texture 

 strongly coriaceous with several conspicuous callosities. Hindwing 

 brachypterous, much shorter than forewing, venation abnormal, 

 Hindlegs at rest with knees not attaining posterior proepimeral margins, 

 setal formula 2:0:0; first tarsomere with length less than combined 

 length of second and third. 



Female abdominal sternum VII with posterior margin transverse 

 and rectilinear. 



Lojata is known only from the holotype of the type-species from 

 Ecuador. Its relationships to other genera are difficult to assess because 

 of its brachyptery and because of the lack of male specimens.
