Aspidosmiella Engel , new genus
TYPE SPECIES: Ctenoplectrella phaeton Gonzalez and Engel, 2011 .
DIAGNOSIS: This genus is generally as described for Ctenoplectrella : tridentate female mandible, pronotal collar virtually absent, and 2Rs orthogonal to 2M but is more robust and with a noticeably sparse pubescence, especially on the mesoscutum and mesoscutellum where the surfaces are nearly asetose and the metasomal scopa composed of sparse bands of setae (refer to Gonzalez and Engel, 2011).
ETYMOLOGY: The new generic name is a combination of Aspidosmia and the Latin suffix - ellus, indicating a diminutive. The gender of the name is feminine.
