Genus Toulgoetalna Boulard, 1982 View in CoL

Toulgoetalna Boulard 1982: 179 .

Remarks. Boulard (1982) describes the genus as having a head as wide as the mesonotum, a frons that is slightly shorter than the vertex, the vertex is almost entirely occupied by the ocellar triangle, compound eyes that together occupying more than half of the head when viewed from above, the pronotum is significantly shorter than the mesonotum by the length of the cruciform elevation, opercula are present, the fore wings are significantly longer than the body length with the median and cubitus anterior veins leaving the basal cell at two very close points and remaining parallel for a short distance, the male abdomen strongly and more or less constricted at the base, reduced but functional timbal organ, tiny timbals, no timbal covers; medium-sized tympana, and genitalia close to the Carinetan type (presence of pseudo-parameres). The constricted base of the male abdomen makes identification of the male very easy.
