Thorax with pronotal width greater than transocular width of head, lateral 
margins convergent anteriorly, dorsopleural carinae complete, posterior 
margin slightly concave, disk weakly transversely rugose or not, without 
pubescence; scutellum not transversely rugose behind transverse sulcus. Fore- 
wing not broadened apically, membrane usually distinct, variable in extent, 
venation often obscure, texture opaque, apical margin not concave; forewings 
of female in rest position exceeding apex of ovipositor. Hindleg with femoral 
setal formula 2:1:1, length of first tarsomere greater than combined length of 
two more distal tarsomeres and with two parallel rows of small setae on plan- 
tar surface. 
Male genitalia (unknown for resoluta): Pygofer moderately to well produced, 
with chaetotaxy varying interspecifically, process apical, dorsoapical, or ab- 
sent. Plates triangular, not extending posteriorly nearly as far as pygofer apex, 
usually with uniseriate macrosetae (irregularly arranged microsetae in K. 
spectabilis (Melichar)). Style extending posteriorly to a variable degree com- 
pared with connective, without a lateral lobe (exception: K. cajana, n. sp.), 
apex narrowly rounded or obliquely truncate. Connective Y-shaped with the 
arms widely divergent. Aedeagus quite variable interspecifically. Paraphyses 
present or absent, long-stalked with a pair of narrowly separated divergent 
rami when present. 
Female (known only for spectabilis and resoluta) abdominal sternum VII 
deeply emarginate posteriorly. Ovipositor with second valvulae each expanded 
in approximately two-thirds of portion beyond basal curvature, dorsal margin 
of the expanded portion with numerous quadrate primary teeth of uniform 
size extending almost to apex, the primaries bearing small denticles, with 
small dorsal and posteroventral denticles before the narrowly rounded apex. 
Pygofer slender, slightly attenuate posterodorsally, with a few macrosetae near 
posterodorsal margin. 
Kogigonalia, new genus, occurs in Colombia, Venezuela, French Guiana, and 
Peru. It is similar to Janastana, new genus, in appearance, but the anterior 
margin of the head is not as broadly rounded as in Janastana, the males lack 
the conspicuous pygofer lobe of anastana, and the posterior margin of the 
female abdominal sternum VII is much more deeply concave than in 
Janastana. 
The present interpretation of Tacora resoluta Melichar and Cardtoscarta 
spectabilis Melichar is based on a study of the female lectotype of each.
