Figures 122-129 
Teleogonia Melichar, 1925a:361. Type-species: 7. fusca Walker, by original designation. 
Pygometopia Schréder, 1960b:319. Type-species: Oncometopia infuscata Melichar, by 
original designation. New synonymy. 
Length of male 13.0-16.5 mm, of female 16.0-20.0 mm. 
Head moderately produced, median length of crown from one-half to 
almost seven-tenths interocular width and from slightly more than one-third 
to slightly less than one-half transocular width, anterior margin angularly 
produced or bluntly rounded in dorsal view, without a carina at transition 
from crown to face, ocelli located on a line between anterior eye angles, each 
approximately equidistant from adjacent anterior eye angle and median line 
of crown, crown flattened or slightly concave across ocelli, without a median 
fovea and without sculpturing or setae, lateral clypeal sutures extending onto 
crown, usually attaining ocelli; antennal ledges not protuberant, in lateral 
view with anterior margins oblique and convex; clypeus convex, occasionally 
slightly flattened medially, muscle impressions distinct, face pubescent ven- 
trally, transclypeal suture not entire, clypellus with contour of lower portion 
continuing profile of clypeus or curved posteriorly and more nearly horizontal 
than profile of clypeus. 
Thorax with pronotal width less than transocular width of head, pronotum 
usually (exceptions: 7. infuscata (Melichar) and T. clathrata (Signoret)) ex- 
tending posteriorly to transverse sulcus of scutellum, lateral margins parallel, 
dorsopleural carinae complete, posterior margin convex or concave, disk trans- 
versely rugose or not, usually with irregularly arranged gross punctures; 
scutellum swollen and convex but not transversely striate behind transverse 
sulcus. Forewing usually without a membrane, veins distinct, with four apical 
cells, the base of fourth more proximal than base of third, without an an- 
teapical plexus of veins, texture coriaceous and with coarse pits; forewings of 
female in rest position not exceeding apex of ovipositor. Hindleg with femoral 
setal formula 2:1:1 or (rarely) 2:1:1:1; length of first tarsomere equal to or 
slightly greater than combined length of two more distal tarsomeres and with 
two parallel longitudinal rows of small setae on plantar surface. 
Male genitalia: Pygofer strongly produced, posterior margin regularly con- 
vex or angulate, setae from few to many, located on posterior half. Plates tri- 
angular, not extending nearly as far posteriorly as pygofer apex, with multi- 
seriate macrosetae and with microsetae also. Style extending posteriorly 
beyond apex of connective, with preapical lobe well developed or not. Connec- 
tive triangular, Y-, or T-shaped without keels or with single or double longi- 
tudinal keels. Aedeagus symmetrical, without processes except for a dorsal 
pair of undifferentially sclerotized shaft processes near base in some species. 
Paraphyses symmetrical or not. 
Female abdominal sternum VII with median posterior lobe varying inter- 
specifically in shape. Dorsal membrane of genital chamber occasionally 
sclerotized each side of median line but sclerites poorly delimited. Ovipositor 
with second valvulae each broadened in apical two-thirds of portion beyond
