Genus Mimadiestra Storozhenko View in CoL et Dawwrueng, 2014

Type species: Mimadiestra biloba Storozhenko et Dawwrueng, 2014 , by original designation.

Note. This genus is characterized by the following features: body is medium-sized; seventh abdominal tergite of male has a pair of posterodorsal spines or angular projections ( Figs 80, 82, 84, 86); this tergite in female has a pair of posterodorsal tubercles significantly shorter than these spines; paraproct is elongate (stick-like or bifurcate; Figs 81, 83, 85, 87) in male and usual (but having apical tubercle) in female; male genitalia are completely membranous and having six lobes ( Figs 117, 146); ovipositor is normal but having its apical part weakly denticulated.

The genus includes four species: type species ( Thailand) ; M. sirindhornae Dawwrueng, Storozhenko et Artchawakom, 2016 ( Thailand and Cambodia); M. gracila Zhu, Wu et Shi, 2018 (South China); M. dicha Zhu, Wu et Shi, 2018 (South China). A key to these species are given below.

1. Male: seventh abdominal tergite with a pair of elongate posterior spines located rather far from each other ( Figs 82, 86); paraprocts diverse ( Figs 83, 87). Female: ovipositor without any dorsal notch near apex, or female unknown.................. 2

– Male: seventh abdominal tergite with a pair of elongate posterior spines located near each other ( Fig. 80), or with a pair of rather short triangular posterior projections ( Fig. 84); paraprocts more or less stick-like (not bifurcate; Figs 80, 81, 85). Female: ovipositor with shallow dorsal notch near apex, or female unknown.............................. 3

2. Male: seventh abdominal tergite without small posteromedian tubercle between posterior spines ( Fig. 82); paraproct stick-like (not bifurcate; Figs 82, 83). Female: ovipositor without any dorsal notch near apex...................... M. sirindhornae View in CoL

– Male: seventh abdominal tergite with small posteromedian tubercle between posterior spines ( Fig. 86); paraproct with rounded dorsoproximal lobe and bifurcate distal part (dorsal branch spine-like and distinctly longer than tooth-like ventral branch; Fig. 87). Female unknown...... M. dicha View in CoL

3. Male: seventh abdominal tergite with a pair of elongate posterior spines located near each other ( Fig. 80); paraproct stick-like and with somewhat bulbose apex ( Figs 80, 81). Female unknown............................................. M. biloba View in CoL

– Male: seventh abdominal tergite posteriorly with a pair of short triangular projections ( Fig. 84); paraproct also stick-like but with rather narrow apical part slightly curved upwards ( Fig. 85). Female: ovipositor with shallow dorsal notch near apex....................................... M. gracila View in CoL
