Hosts from FLOW (et cit.), Wilson et al. 1994; plant names from USDA PLANTS or Tropicos.

Parasite

Candidatus Phytoplasma solani [Stolbur – 16SrXII-A] (Bacteria, Mollicutes, Acholeplasmatales, Acholeplasmataceae) according to Jovic et al. 2007: 86, Jovic et al. 2009: 1056, Cvrkovic et al. 2011: 129, Cvrkovic et al. 2013.

Symbioses

Pentastiridius formicarius – (Mutualism) Camponotus turkestanicus Emery, 1887 (Formicidae Formicinae) (Emeljanov 2015: 190).

Recognition

With lateral spines on hind tibiae, mesonotum with 5 carinae, posterior margin of vertex angularly incised, 10 or more teeth at the apex of the first hind tarsomere. North American species are treated in Mead and Kramer (1982) revision of ‘Oliarus‘.

Diagnosis of genus from Anufriev and Emeljanov 1988:

“Moderately flattened dorsoventrally, with more or less flatly folded fore wings. In outer morphology, similar to the genus Pentastiridius. Male. Anal tube flattened and slightly widened, with asymmetrical projections and processes at posterior margin. Styli with complex apical parts, rather often asymmetrical, i.e. the right stylus is not mirror image of the left stylus; a typical, large, recurrent process at medial margin is characteristic of stylus. Theca with larger right basal tooth, which is usually double or with additional tooth at base, and with shorter left tooth.”
