Biology:Stemmocryptidae
From HandWiki
Stemmocryptidae is a very small family of bugs in the order Hemiptera, known from the ʻSisimangum village in the Madang Province of Papua New Guinea.[1] Only one species in one genus is known, Stemmocrypta antennata.[2]
The family is currently documented by specimens collected during a single UV light trapping.[3]
Morphology
S. antennata is elongate, with small eyes. The pronotal collar is absent. Among other peculiar features are a reduced proepimeron compared to other Dipsocoromorpha, a scent evaporatory structure, a distal expasion of the protibia, a membranous dorsal wall of the pygophore.[4]
Phylogeny
A 2021 analysis suggests Stemmocrpytidae is the sister group of all other Dipsocoromorpha.[4]
