4F51BB2811499C47FD51D732FCCAFD5D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. — The forewing cubitus anterior 1 vein being longer distal to the division, hindwing cubital cell 1 being much wider distally than cubital cell 2, the six apical cells in the hindwings, lack of timbal covers, the small, narrow opercula that curve towards the midline but remain well separated medially and do not cover the tympanal cavity, undeveloped pygofer distal shoulders, the presence of small upper pygofer lobes, the large flat basal pygofer lobes, the absent uncus, well developed claspers, classify the new species as a member of the Taphurini Distant, 1905 a (Marshall et al. 2018). The new genus can be distinguished from each of the New World genera of Taphurini. Brevialavenosa new genus can be distinguished from Chalumalna Boulard, 1998, a monotypic genus only known from St. Martin in the Lesser Antilles, by the head being only slightly wider than the mesonotum and the truncated postclypeus barely extends beyond the supra-antennal plates in Chalumalna. The long, posteriorly angled eyes, prominent postclypeus with a distinct central sulcus long forefemora spines distinguish Dorachosa Distant, 1892. Broad forewings with a thickened and angulate costal margin are characteristic of Dulderana Distant, 1905 b. Elachysoma Torres, 1964 presents a truncated head and postclypeus, forewings that are more than three times longer than broad, the abdomen is about as long as the distance between the anterior postclypeus and posterior cruciform elevation, the anterior lateral angle of the pronotal collar is angled ventrally, the posterior margin of the timbal cavity is straight and is not concave dorsolaterally, the male opercula are well developed forming an L-shape rather than curving mediad smoothly, and male sternite VIII is truncated in that genus. The forewings of Imbabura Distant, 1911 are also about three times longer than broad and hindwings have four apical cells distinguishing it from the new species. The large, expanding, hood-like terminus of the aedeagus quickly distinguishes the very similar Malloryalna Sanborn, 2016 from the new species along with forewing radial and radiomedial crossveins being about the same length, the posterior timbals are not strongly angled mediad, the epipleurites are reflexed ventrally, and the pointed basal pygofer lobes are separated from the ventral pygofer margin. Psallodia Uhler, 1903 is characterized by a strongly curved basal costal margin, the highly arched forewing cubital cell, and the seven hindwing apical cells. Species of Taphura St ̊ al, 1862 present a costal margin strongly bent at the node, the highly arched forewing cubital cell, the postclypeus lacks a central sulcus, the abdomen length is about the same as the length between the apex of the postclypeus and posterior cruciform elevation, the timbals are small, and the male pygofers are characterized by elaborate processes (Sanborn 2017). The last New World genus currently classified in the Taphurini (Prosotettix Jacobi, 1907) is reassigned below to a more suitable tribe. As a result of the inability to classify the specimens in a currently known genus, a new genus is proposed here for the new species.	en	Sanborn, Allen F.

4F51BB2811499C47FD51D732FCCAFD5D.taxon	discussion	Discussion. — The combination of the body size, body covered with long pile, a triangular head wider than the mesonotum, supra-antennal plate reaching about two-thirds distance to eye, flattened ventral postclypeus forming a central carina with an indistinct central sulcus, parallel pronotal sides, ventrally curved anterior margin of lateral angles of pronotal collar, small posterior depression in cruciform elevation, forewings and hindwings with eight and six apical cells respectively, forewings about 2.85 – 2.99 X longer than broad, apical infuscation on forewing, forewing radial crossvein shorter than radiomedial crossveins causing bend in radius anterior 2 and radius posterior veins, small, narrow, curving towards midline but remaining well separated medially, abdomen about as long as distance the between apex of head and posterior of cruciform elevation with lateral margins parallel at base, depression in posterior timbal cavity margin on dorsolateral tergite 2, posterior timbals strongly angled mediad, epipleurites not reflexed ventrally, large, flat pygofer basal lobe extending less than half the length of pygofer, and an aedeagus with terminal membrane and a pair of recurved appendages distinguish the genus from all others in the tribe. Malloryalna is most similar but can be distinguished by the forewing radial and radiomedial crossveins being about the same length, the posterior timbals are not strongly angled mediad, the epipleurites are reflexed ventrally, and the basal pygofer lobes are pointed and elevated from the ventral pygofer margin in that genus. The new genus can be distinguished from other genera in the tribe by possessing in combination a short forewing radial crossvein, apical infuscation, curving opercula, and an aedeagus with distal recurved spines.	en	Sanborn, Allen F.
