Mesolia Ragonot, 1889

Mesolia Ragonot View in CoL , in Joannis & Ragonot, 1889

Mesolia View in CoL currently includes 20 species distributed in all biogeographical regions of the globe (Nuss et al., 2024). In the Neotropical region species have been described only from the northern fringe, i.e., Dominican Republic (one species), Jamaica (one species), and Mexico (one species from Guerrero and one from Presidio, state unknown). The placement of the new Galápagos species in Mesolia View in CoL is based on the most recent diagnosis of the genus ( Bassi, 2013). However, in the species described here as new, the female has a simple corpus bursae ( Fig. 51 View Figs 51-55 ), as opposed to a bilobed corpus bursae in other species. Mesolia View in CoL was recently ( Léger et al., 2019) returned to tribe Ancylolomiini , which includes the Prionypterygini (syn.) of Landry (1995).
