Russel-Smith (SAM-HYM P0198783). Description Female. Body length 4.0 mm. Forewing 0.6 mm. Head: head longer than wide. Malar space as long as VOL, convergent anteriorly. Mandible with three apical teeth. Median clypeal lobe quadrate; lateral lobe short; median clypeal carina inclined, complete, straight in dorsal view. Antenna short [not reaching mesoscutum]; scape slightly curved; pedicel caliciform; flagellomere I as long as pedicel; flagellomeres short. Eye small [0.5 x LH], circular. Frons strongly foveolate. Frontal angle of ocellar triangle right; ocelli very small, DAO 2.0 × POL; ocellar fovea present.

Anteromesoscutum foveolate, shorter than mesoscutellum; longitudinal antero-mesoscutal sulcus incomplete; notaulus deep, wide, polished; parapsidal signum shallow. Axilla strigate, deep. Mesoscutum-mesoscutellar sulcus arched, not laterally dilated; mesoscutellum short, polished. Metapectal-propodeal complex more than 0.5 × longer than wide; metapostnotum without longitudinal ridge between metaposnotal median carina and metaposnotal-propodeal suture; metapostnotal surface areolate; metapostnotal median carina complete; posterior projection of metapectal-propodeal complex short, thick.

Astromesitius gen. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: AC77A4BF-FC3A-481F-BD18-8175DC3CEE5B Figs 1–7 Type species Sulcomesitius quatei Móczár, 1977. Etymology The name Astromesitius is composed from the Greek (and Latin) ‘ aster ’, which means ‘star’, and Mesitius, the type genus of Mesitiinae. The name refers to the star-shaped hypopygium of the new genus. Description Male Body sparsely foveolate (Fig. 1E). Head longer than wide, malar space convergent anteriorly and as long as VOL. Clypeus with median lobe quadrate. Antenna with distinct sparse setae, pedicel caliciform, flagellomeres longer than wide and caliciform. Eye setose, circular and small, HE usually about one third of LH. Ocelli small. Dorsal pronotal area with longitudinal sulcus hardly distinct or absent. Anteromesoscutum without longitudinal sulcus. Metapectal-propodeal complex with posterior projection hardly distinct or absent. Macropterous. Hypopygium with posterior margin with short and acute branches, with lateral corner projecting and well defined, general shape resembling a star. Genitalia with ventral arm of paramere longer and wider than dorsal arm, aedeagus slender, fusiform. Female Not available for description. Remarks The main characteristic to recognize Astromesitius gen. nov. is the hypopygium shape. The star-shaped hypopygium is a unique shape within Mesitiinae. Additionally, the sparsely foveolate integument surface, the sparse pubescence of the antenna, which is of medium length to long, and the hardly distinct or absent longitudinal pronotal sulcus are also important in recognizing the genus. These characteristics are further discussed in the Discussion. Distribution Afrotropical: United Arab Emirates and South Africa. Oriental: Thailand and Vietnam. Palaearctic: Czech Republic, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Russia and Slovakia.

Mesitius viator Nagy, 1968: 171, fig. 4 (synonymised by Argaman 2003: 75). Diagnosis Female Head as long as wide. Malar space shorter than VOL, convergent anteriorly. Eye very small. Frons foveolate. Ocelli very small. Mesosoma with pronotal disc as long as wide, weakly foveolate, with side straight, posterior margin concave; longitudinal pronotal sulcus hardly distinct, incomplete. Metapectalpropodeal complex shorter than metapectal-propodeal complex half-width, without longitudinal ridge between metaposnotal median carina and metaposnotal-propodeal suture; metaposnotal surface areolate; posterior spine of metapectal-propodeal complex present, short, thin and divergent. Propodeal declivity striate. Wings micropterous. Male Hypopygium longer than wide; anterior stalk slender and long; posterior margin with branches short and wide. Genitalia with paramere apex sparsely hairy; ventral arm of paramere sinuous and slender; aedeagus slender, with apex aligned with paramere apex, apical margin rounded, and with short outer projection, lateral margin of basal portion slightly convex. Remarks This species was originally described in Sclerodermus (Costa 1864) based on one female from Italy. It was transferred to Mesitius by Kieffer (1914), who synonymised Sclerodermus mutilloides under Mesitius ghilianii Spinola, 1851. Argaman (2003) revalidated the status as a valid species and transferred this species from Mesitius to Clytrovorus. Argaman also established the synonymy of Mesitius fuscicornis Kieffer,1906, M. zavadili Hoffer, 1936 and M. viator Nagy, 1968 under this species. We did not have access either to the type, which is lost, or to any other voucher specimens of this species, and the original descriptions are not sufficiently detailed to compare with the diagnostic characteristics of Astromesitius gen. nov. However, the illustration by Argaman (2003) is clear and sufficient to analyze and reallocate this species from Clytrovorus to Astromesitius gen. nov., because it has long and sparse antennal pubescence and the hypopygium is ���star-shaped���., Published as part of Barbosa, Diego N. & Azevedo, Celso O., 2019, Astromesitius, a new genus of Mesitiinae (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae) from the Old World, pp. 1-20 in European Journal of Taxonomy 587 on pages 15-17, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2019.587, http://zenodo.org/record/3659973, {"references":["Costa A.

Astromesitius gen. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: AC77A4BF-FC3A-481F-BD18-8175DC3CEE5B Figs 1���7 Type species Sulcomesitius quatei M��cz��r, 1977. Etymology The name Astromesitius is composed from the Greek (and Latin) ��� aster ���, which means ���star���, and Mesitius, the type genus of Mesitiinae. The name refers to the star-shaped hypopygium of the new genus. Description Male Body sparsely foveolate (Fig. 1E). Head longer than wide, malar space convergent anteriorly and as long as VOL. Clypeus with median lobe quadrate. Antenna with distinct sparse setae, pedicel caliciform, flagellomeres longer than wide and caliciform. Eye setose, circular and small, HE usually about one third of LH. Ocelli small. Dorsal pronotal area with longitudinal sulcus hardly distinct or absent. Anteromesoscutum without longitudinal sulcus. Metapectal-propodeal complex with posterior projection hardly distinct or absent. Macropterous. Hypopygium with posterior margin with short and acute branches, with lateral corner projecting and well defined, general shape resembling a star. Genitalia with ventral arm of paramere longer and wider than dorsal arm, aedeagus slender, fusiform. Female Not available for description. Remarks The main characteristic to recognize Astromesitius gen. nov. is the hypopygium shape. The star-shaped hypopygium is a unique shape within Mesitiinae. Additionally, the sparsely foveolate integument surface, the sparse pubescence of the antenna, which is of medium length to long, and the hardly distinct or absent longitudinal pronotal sulcus are also important in recognizing the genus. These characteristics are further discussed in the Discussion. Distribution Afrotropical: United Arab Emirates and South Africa. Oriental: Thailand and Vietnam.

dietrichorum Barbosa & Azevedo, species-group nov. (Figs 18G–N, 19A–F) Females. Head longer than wide; mandible with five distal teeth, evenly developed; clypeus short; antennal scrobe ecarinate; frontal angle of ocellar triangle about right; ocelli very small; vertex straight. Pronotal disc with transverse carina complete; parapsidal signum with anterior half continuous; metapectal-propodeal disc as long as wide; anterior margin of propodeal declivity not setose; mesopleuron with mesopleural fovea closed, lower fovea and mesopleural suture opened. Mesotibia not spinose Metatrochanter with lateral expansion. Males. Frons coriaceous or weakly coriaceous, with metallic reflexion. Clypeus short; median clypeal carina as high as epistomal suture, in lateral view; antenna not elongate; antennal scrobe ecarinate. Pronotal disc with transverse carina complete. Metapostnotum with first pair of metapostnotal carina and metapostnotal-propodeal suture convergence absent or present; propodeal declivity with sculpture present; distinction between metapectalpropodeal disc and metapleuron distinct by sculpture difference. Mesopleuron with lower mesopleural fovea opened and mesopleural suture closed. Forewing with Cu vein indistinct of cu-a and R-rs&Rs vein distinct. Hind wing with one or two proximal and four distal hamuli. Posterior hypopygeal margin uniform. Genitalia with paramere as long as or longer than basiparamere; inner margin of basivolsella straight. Distribution. It is mostly from Neotropical region Remarks. In this species-group we found a peculiar and rare characteristic among Anisepyris species: the “distinction between propodeum and metapleuron with distinct texture”. This is rare in Anisepyris and in Epyrinae as a whole, but is common in Mesitiinae, as cited by Barbosa & Azevedo (2011). Therefore, we reallocate these species from the proteus species-group into a new species-group under the name dietrichorum. This species-group is composed of 10 species (Table 1).

Chlorepyris nigerrimus (Evans, 1965) comb. nov. Material examined. Holotype, ♀, BOLIVIA, Santa Cruz, Santiago, XI.1959 (SEMC). Distribution. Bolivia. Remarks. This species was mistransferred to Anisepyris by Waichert & Azevedo. (2009), because it was misunderstood as belonging to the subgenus Trichotepyris, probably by lapsus. This species, however, fits perfectly with Chlorepyris Kieffer, 1905 where it was originally described, back when Chlorepyris was a subgenus of Rhabdepyris., Published as part of Barbosa, Diego N. & Azevedo, Celso O., 2018, Revision of Anisepyris Kieffer (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae), with description of 135 new species, pp. 1-258 in Zootaxa 4416 (1) on page 242, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4416.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/1242263, {"references":["Evans, H.
