Diagnosis. Within Gonatocerini, the species of Lymaenon are distinguished by the following combination of features: vertex almost always with 3 (Fig. 180) or 4 setae in ocellar triangle; pronotum longitudinally divided medially, the lobes widely separated by a distinct, median area (Fig. 188); dorsellum strap-like, the anterior and posterior margins parallel (Fig. 185); propodeum usually with two usually well separated and slightly converging submedian lines almost always extending length of propodeum (Fig. 185).
Description. FEMALE. Face with subantennal sulci present, weakly converging, the distance between them at mouth margin the same or more (occasionally less) than their distance from the preorbital sulci (Fig. 179). Vertex with 3 (Fig. 180) or 4 setae in ocellar triangle, rarely with 2 setae. Occiput almost always entire (Fig. 182), rarely with a partial sulcus along eye orbit separating gena from occiput. Mandible with 3 normal teeth (Figs 183, 184).
Funicle 8-segmented, rarely 7-segmented (Fig. 175), the basal four usually shorter than apical four (or three), and rarely with mps whereas apical four segments have mps on at least one segment. Pronotum longitudinally divided medially, the lobes widely separated by a distinct, median area (Fig. 188), this area membranous or, less commonly, well sclerotized (but separated by carinae from lateral areas). Pronotal spiracle almost always larger than propodeal spiracle (Fig. 186). Dorsellum at least 4× as wide as long, strap-like, the anterior and posterior margins parallel (Figs 7, 185, 186). Propodeum usually with two usually well separated and slightly converging submedian lines almost always extending length of propodeum, the area between them often with minute spicules (Figs 7, 185), rarely the submedian lines short, raised as carinae and without spicules between them. Fore wing with microtrichia usually present behind venation to base of parastigma (Figs 175, 177), sometimes bare behind venation except for subcubital line (Fig. 176), rarely completely bare behind venation. Stigma almost always truncate apically (Figs 175–178), sometimes slightly oblique.
MALE. Radicle short, separated from scape by a line or sulcus, at most about 0.3× as long as scape. Scape fairly short, at most about 3.0× as long as pedicel. Genitalia with aedeagal apodemes shorter than to almost as long as apodeme of genital sternum, rarely extending anteriorly slightly past its apex (see examples in Triapitsyn 2010), and with well developed volsellae.
Discussion. With over 160 nominal species, Lymaenon is the most speciose genus in Gonatocerini. The species vary widely in size from small to very large specimens, with body length 435–3200 Μm. Body colour can be almost entirely black to almost entirely yellow, often patterned in various ways with brown, yellow or black. Many species have the same colour and pattern as several Gonatocerus species, in which the mesosoma is predominantly yellow but with brown spots or areas on the mid- and side lobes of the mesoscutum, medially on the anterior scutellum, and on the axilla (Fig. 7). In the Holarctic region the mesosoma is usually uniformly coloured dark brown or black; in tropical areas yellow is the predominant body colour. Superficially, different Lymaenon species can resemble those of several other genera but the strap-like dorsellum and propodeal structure remains constant and the genus is quite homogeneous structurally so subdividing it into meaningful species groups appears futile. The greatest diversity in body form and colour is found in Australia. The least diversity occurs in the Nearctic, Neotropical and Palaearctic regions. The Afrotropical and Oriental regions have an intermediate amount of diversity. Most species have eight funicle segments. A few African species have only seven funicle segments (Fig. 175), as in some Gahanopsis. Fl1–fl4 vary in length, from all being almost anelliform to distinctly longer than wide, but in almost all cases fl1–fl4 are each no longer than and almost always shorter than fl5 or fl6. In a few species the head is very thin, as in Zeyanus. The back of head usually lack sulci but the occiput of some species has a curved transverse sulcus extending from the malar sulcus behind each eye to the foramen, somewhat as in some species of Cosmocomoidea or Gastrogonatocerus. The wings are usually unmarked but many Australian and a few Afrotropical species have patterned wings, usually as 1–3 bands extending across the wing (Fig. 178) but sometimes with an apical spot or longitudinal streak. A few Lymaenon species have one or two white flagellomeres (Fig. 176) as in some Cosmocomoidea and Cosmocomopsis species. Fore wing microtrichia usually extend over the entire wing surface to the base of the parastigma but quite often only the subcubital line of microtrichia extends to the base and the area behind the venation is bare; exceptionally, the entire area behind the venation is bare, as in many Cosmocomoidea species. The gastral petiole is usually short, ring-like (Figs 89, 190) but sometimes (several species in Madagascar) it is as long as the metacoxa, as in some Cosmocomoidea and Cosmocomopsis species. Most Lymaenon species do not have the ovipositor sheaths extending much beyond the gaster apex (Fig. 190) but a few species have them extending well beyond (Fig. 177). Some species, especially from Australia but also from other regions, have a long gaster with the ovipositor extending anteriorly to varying degrees under the mesosoma and head (Fig. 178), as in many Gahanopsis and Gastrogonatocerus species. The ovipositor sheaths have the usual pair of subapical setae but one species (one specimen seen) has 5 pairs, somewhat as in Zeyanus species.
Hosts and habitat. Fewer than 20 nominal species have a host recorded, sometimes only to family. The few reliable host records indicate that species of Lymaenon parasitize Cicadellidae and sometimes Membracidae and are not host specific. Viggiani (2013) listed the four known hosts of one species, L. litoralis (Haliday): Cicadula sexnotata (Fallén), Acocephalus sp., Neoaliturus (Circulifer) tenellus (Baker), and Zyginidia sohrab Zachvatkin. Species of Lymaenon are particularly well represented in semi-arid to arid regions such as open woodlands, deserts and, occasionally, tundra. Relatively fewer species are found in forests, especially tropical rainforests.

Lymaenon ionella (Özdikmen), comb. n. from Gonatocerus. Gonatocerus ionella Özdikmen, 2011: 840. Unnecessary replacement name for G. io Girault, 1938, not G. io Girault, 1915. A replacement name is not needed because the 1938 species description (based on a specimen in alcohol) is evidently based on the same specimen (remounted from alcohol) as the 1915 description (see Dahms 1984: 727). Although the descriptions differ they are not incompatible and I am certain they refer to the same specimen. Therefore, G. io Girault, 1938, is simply a redescription of G. io, Girault, 1915 (not a new species description, as Girault claimed) and not a junior primary homonym (as treated by Özdikmen).
