Remarks. The aedeagus of Polana censora has a pair of processes arising from the dorsal apodeme, and the male pygofer lacks processes. Following the key to subgenera of DeLong & Freytag (1972), and considering its coloration and head shape, this species can be assigned to the subgenus Hobemanella . Inexplicably, the remarks for this species mentioned that P. censora is “related to P. glebra DeLong (1979, p. 152) from which it can be separated by the broader aedeagus, in ventral view, and by the absence of basolateral processes”. However, DeLong (1979) described Gypona glebra on page 152, and a species named “ P. glebra ” does not exist in any other published work, suggesting that DeLong mistakenly referred G. glebra to the incorrect genus in the same publication.
