Cremnomymar kuscheli (Ogloblin) (Figs 51–54) Scolopsopteron kuscheli Ogloblin 1952: 128–132. Type locality: Alto Inglés, at about 600 m, Robinson Crusoe Island [as Masatierra Island], Juan Fernández Islands, Valparaíso, Chile. Holotype male [MEUC], not examined. Subsequent references: Ogloblin 1957: 442 (key); De Santis 1979: 373 (catalog); Yoshimoto 1990: 65 (list). Cremnomymar kuscheli (Ogloblin): Huber 2013: 58 (generic transfer). Type material examined. Paratype male [MLPA], on slide labeled as in Fig. 51: CHILE. Valparaíso: Juan Fernández Islands, Robinson Crusoe Island, Alto Inglés, 600 m, 6.ii.1952, G. Kuschel, on Chusquea fernandeziana (Poaceae). Diagnosis. This seems to be a rather distinctive species in having the uniquely Y-shaped submedian carinae on the propodeum but because it is based only on strongly brachypterous males, a conspecific female is needed to reveal its true identity. Redescription. MALE (paratype). Body length 1270 µm. Antenna (Fig. 52) with scape 4.7× as long as wide. Pronotum with reticulate sculpture, longer than mesoscutum or scutellum (Fig. 54). Mesoscutum with reticulate sculpture, scutellum apparently smooth; mesoscutum about as long as scutellum, with wide notauli not extending to anterior margin (Fig. 54). Propodeum long, smooth between submedian and lateral carinae; submedian carinae Yshaped (Fig. 54). Fore wing (Fig. 53) strongly reduced, lanceolate, 11.0× as long as wide; apical process of venation long; discal and marginal setae not modified; the longest marginal seta about 0.5× greatest fore wing width. Hind wing (Fig. 54) strongly reduced, with hardly any membrane present and just a few short marginal setae at apex. Petiole widened basally (Fig. 54). Genitalia length 190 µm. FEMALE. Unknown. Distribution. Chile: Juan Fernández Islands.
