(ienus Stenomphrale Krober 



Stenomphrale Krober, 1937, p. 220. 



Type-species Pseudomphrale teutankhameni Krober. The genus 

 Stenomphrale Krober closely resembles the genus Pseudatrichia; the 

 male genitalia, however, lack the ventral brush of hairs and the 

 tergites are longer than those of Neopseudatrichia; the female termi- 

 nalia are very different from those of Pseudatrichia, having a brush 

 of hairs on the ninth tergum which is larger than those of Neopseuda- 

 trichia. This genus is found in the circum-Mediterranean area of the 

 Palaearctic region.
