Characters of the genus were corroborated and supplemented by HAYASHI and PAPP (2007).</p> <p>The Chaetopodella species are distributed in the Palaearctic (by its type species only), in the Oriental (HAYASHI &amp; PAPP 2007) and in the Afrotropical regions (HACKMAN 1969). As we wrote there, the status of the Leptocera (Chaetopodella) albocincta RICHARDS, 1964 (from the Solomon Is, Vanuatu) needs revision. The Neotropical species Leptocera biseta DUDA, 1925 has been transferred to the genus Gyretria ENDERLEIN, 1938 (cf. ROHÁČEK et al. (2001). Leptocera (Chaetopodella) tonsa DUDA, 1925 from Costa Rica belongs to an undescribed genus (see MARSHALL 2001).</p> <p>Hitherto four Afrotropical species have been described: Ch. cursoni (RICHARDS, 1939), Ch. denigrata (DUDA, 1925), Ch. impermissa (RICHARDS, 1980) (syn. Ch. congensis (VANSCHUYTBROECK, 1950)) and Ch. lesnei (SÉGUY, 1933). Chaetopodella scutellaris (HALIDAY, 1836) was also recorded from the Afrotropical region (see RICHARDS 1980) but all these records were obviously based on misidentifications (see below).</p> <p>This paper includes descriptions of a new subgenus and of five new species. Having had the experience with the females of Chaetopodella that they are difficult to differentiate, particularly so for those species pairs as Ch. cursoni and Ch. aethiopica, the importance of the male genital characters are stressed. The features, which seem proper in the identification of the specimens (both males and females) are given in the key below.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/647F87A3FFE07375FDB5FE3BFD49FA37	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Mid femur with a ventral row of 3 setae on basal 1/ 5 in male.</p> <p>Abdomen: Male sternite 5 rather similar to that of Ch. aethiopica. However, caudal process (Fig. 41) short curved with shorter thorns. Medial platelet with short pilosity. Ventral plate of subepandrial sclerite (Fig. 42) with 2 pairs of long laterally curved thorn-like seta, the lateral one not thicker than the medial pair.</p> <p>Surstylus (Figs 43–44) laterally on outer surface with several setae incl. on inner edge. Epiphallus (Fig. 45) smallest in the species group, subtriangular in profile, postgonite (Fig. 45) strongly narrowed subapically, apex almost sharp. Phallapodeme somewhat smaller than in the related species. Apical part of the paired dorsal process of distiphallus with short and thick fork (Figs 45–46), much shorter than those of Ch. nigeriae (Figs 39–40).</p> <p>Female abdominal terga velvety black, sternites 3–5 (6) pale (yellowish), lateral seta on tergite 6 0.22 mm long. Cerci brown, ca. 0.10 mm long, longest cercal setae 0.11–0.12 mm.</p> <p>Etymology. The species was named to the honour of Dr. ANDRÁS DEMETER (formerly the curator of the collection of mammals in the HNHM), who collected the type series of the three new species above.</p> <p>Specimens with rounded discal cell. There are specimens in all the three Chaetopodella s.str. species described here with rounded discal cell. I made some figures on such a male of Ch. aethiopica (Figs 47–51) in order to demonstrate that these are not different species. The differences one can detect if compared to Figs 27–33 are individual variations, or, slight differences caused by the slightly different positioning of the given genital parts.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/647F87A3FFEF737BFDA5FA38FC87F8AE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
