  • Ectmetopterus Reuter, 1906 Ectmetopterus Reuter, 1906: 59 [gen. nov. type species: Ectmetopterus angusticeps Reuter, 1906 by monotypy (junior synonym of Halticus micantulus Horváth, 1905)]; Oshanin, 1910: 802 (cat.); Reuter, 1910: 147 (cat.); Hsiao, 1942: 253 (key); Carvalho, 1952: 73 (cat.); Carvalho, 1955: 65 (key); Carvalho, 1958: (10 cat.); Ectmetopterus Tatarnic and Cassis, 2012: 596. Diagnosis. Generally recognized by their macropterous or brachypterous forms, shining, black bodycolour; sparse distribution of scale–like setae; small eyes; membrane with two closed cells or when brachypterous, without closed cells; parameres strongly projecting from pygophore, right paramere broad and flat, left paramere trifurcate, and endosoma without spicules. Remarks. The new species has reduced wings (brachypterous form) and lack closed cells in the membrane, whereas in the generic diagnosis of Tatarnic and Cassis (2012) only macropterous forms are mentioned. Brachyptery can now be added to the generic diagnosis of the genus.
