| Summary: | Spintharina Semenov (type species: vagans Radoszkowski occurs
in the southern Palearctic and Ethiopian Regions. This group is
characterized by the absence of teeth on tergum III, a long triangular
forewing marginal cell, and an apically blunt or emarginate
lateral propodeal projection. Fragmentary evidence points to Masaridae
as hosts. have been able to study types or authentically
determined specimens of 23 of the 26 species. Status of the other 3 is
in doubt. Complete synonymy and distribution will be given in a
generic revision of Chrysididae now in preparation by L. S. Kimsey
and R. M. Bohart. I would like to thank Dr. Kimsey for turning
over to me her basic research on the genus, and for reviewing this
paper. |
