Remarks.

The monotypic genus Papaverellus shares one similarity with Cardiasilus gen. nov., the bifurcation of veins R 4 and R 5 before the apex of discal cell ( Artigas and Vieira 2014: fig. 5). However, both genera can be distinguished by the abdominal sternites without macrosetae ( Artigas and Vieira 2014: fig. 1) and epandria not inflated and flat ventrally, resembling a goat hoof ( Artigas and Vieira 2014: fig. 1) in Papaverellus , whereas Cardiasilus gen. nov. has the abdominal sternites with at least three pairs of macrosetae (Figs 2 H View Figure 2 , 6 E View Figure 6 , 9 E View Figure 9 ) and male epandria inflated resembling the ideogram of a heart (i. e., Figs 2 B, H View Figure 2 , 3 A, C View Figure 3 ).
