DF7587A2FFDCFF96FF70F873FEBB0576.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Species of Anoplius (Dicranoplius) can be separated from other Neotropical Pompilinae genera by the following: the antennal segments are elongate except for A. areatus, and for males, the apical segments of the antennae are weakly crenulate in profile; the postnotum is strap-like, not expanded on each side of the midline; the legs are spinose, but the fore tibia is not spinose dorsally; the female has a weakly to strongly developed tarsal comb, but the spines are not flattened or spatulate; the female has an unusually large pulvillar pad with a fringe of short setae; the tarsal claws of both sexes are bifid with inner claw truncate; for the male, the last tarsal segment of the fore leg is slender and unmodified; the SMC 3 is usually much narrower above than SMC 2; the male has dense, coarse setae on the posterior face of the propodeum; and the male genitalia have greatly expanded spatulate parapenial lobes and have simple flaps rather than basal hooks.	en	Sadler, Emily (2017): Review of the Neotropical spider wasp subgenus Anoplius (Dicranoplius) Haupt (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), new comb.

DF7587A2FFDCFF96FF70F873FEBB0576.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Species of Dicranoplius can be difficult to determine to species. As Evans (1969) noted, the genitalia should be studied for each specimen to conclusively identify the males, except for the easily recognized A. cujanus and A. areatus, especially due to the overlap of the ranges of many of the species. The aedeagus is slightly longer than the parapenial lobes and has expanded apical lobes for A. brevitarsus (Banks), A. cujanus (Holmberg), A. diphonichus (Spinola), and A. nigritus (Evans). The aedeagus is about as long as the parapenial lobes and has a simple apex in A. areatus (Banks) and A. evansi, sp. nov. The aedeagus is much shorter than the parapenial lobes and has a simple, weakly sclerotized apex in A. pampero (Evans) and A. satanus (Holmberg). Although the male of A. albidus (Evans) is unknown, the aedeagus will likely be longer that the parapenial lobes and have expanded lobes at the apex based on similarities of the female of this species with other species. Coloration can also useful for reducing the number of possibilities. For A. cujanus (Holmberg), both sexes have all black integument and black setae. For A. diphonichus (Spinola), A. nigritus (Evans), and A. satanus (Holmberg), both sexes have a black head and mesosoma, a reddish orange metasoma, and the setae are black. For the females of A. albidus Evans, and both sexes of A. areatus (Banks) and A. brevitarsus (Banks), individuals have a black head and mesosoma with reddish orange metasoma, but have silver setae surrounding areas of black setae forming an obvious pattern. Lastly, both sexes of A. evansi, sp. nov. and A. pampero (Evans) have a black head and mesosoma with reddish orange metasoma, but the females lack the black and silver setae forming an obvious pattern, which is found in the males. Based on the color pattern of the female, the unknown male of A. albidus (Evans) will likely have a color pattern similar to its conspecific female, and to A. areatus (Banks) and A. brevitarsus (Banks).	en	Sadler, Emily (2017): Review of the Neotropical spider wasp subgenus Anoplius (Dicranoplius) Haupt (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), new comb.

DF7587A2FFDFFF96FF70FB05FDB9063D.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. For A. albidus, the female has a black head and mesosoma with reddish orange metasoma, but has silver setae surrounding areas of black setae forming an obvious pattern on the dorsum of the head and the dorsum of the mesosoma, except the propodeum is completely covered in silver setae along with the clypeus, frons, legs, and sides and venter of the mesosoma (Fig. 1 a). Also, the female has three comb spines and the last metasomal tergum has thin setae.	en	Sadler, Emily (2017): Review of the Neotropical spider wasp subgenus Anoplius (Dicranoplius) Haupt (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), new comb.

This species is rare in collections and is known from three specimens, the holotype and the specimens listed above. Give the locality of the two specimens, this species must have a wide range throughout at least the Atlantic coast of Brazil. The type locality was misspelled as Joazeirinho in Evans (1966).

DF7587A2FFDFFF97FF70F8BBFD5F044C.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. For A. areatus, this species can be separated from the others in the genus by coloration and the exceedingly short antennal segments. Both sexes have a black head and mesosoma with reddish orange metasoma, but have silver setae surrounding areas of black setae forming an obvious pattern on the dorsum of the head, pronotum, mesonotum and scutellum, and on the propodeum laterally (Figs. 1 b & 5 a, b). Additionally, the female has three comb spines that are approximately equal to the apical width of the basal tarsomere, sometimes has a smaller forth spine, and also has thin setae on the last metasomal tergum. The male has a posterior band on the pronotum, has dense white setae on the posterior face of the propodeum, and has an aedeagus that is about as long as the parapenial lobes with a simple apex (Fig. 5 in Evans (1969 )).	en	Sadler, Emily (2017): Review of the Neotropical spider wasp subgenus Anoplius (Dicranoplius) Haupt (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), new comb.

DF7587A2FFDFFF97FF70F8BBFD5F044C.taxon	description	Variation. Substantial color variation occurs in this species (see remarks below), as well as slight variation in genitalic morphology and tarsal comb count as documented by Evans (1969) under D. areatus and D. stangei.	en	Sadler, Emily (2017): Review of the Neotropical spider wasp subgenus Anoplius (Dicranoplius) Haupt (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), new comb. Zootaxa 4311 (4): 537-550, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4311.4.6
DF7587A2FFDFFF97FF70F8BBFD5F044C.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The holotype of A. areatus was not studied; specimens identified by Evans (1969) as A. areatus deposited in the MCZC were studied. The holotype (male), allotype (female), and five paratypes (male) of A. stangei were studied. Evans described A. stangei in 1969 based on the male sex and associated a female with this species. The color patterns of the holotype male and allotype female do not match, but represent two different color forms. The holotype male has extensive patches of grey setae and metasomal bands — the banded color form (Fig. 5 a). The allotype female, however, represents a second color form having less grey setae and no metasomal banding — the unbanded color form. Evans actually had both color forms, banded (Fig. 5 a) and unbanded (Fig. 5 b), of the male in his paratype series, but did not recognize this as such. Subsequently, banded males of this species were collected with females of A. areatus. This second species is only known from the female and is exact match in coloration to the holotype of A. stangei. Furthermore, it differs from the allotype of A. stangei in coloration only, and, therefore, represents the banded color form of the female. As such, we synonymize A. stangei with A. areatus, and recognize that this species has two color forms. The two color forms of the female key out separately in the key to species. The unbanded, darker color forms are more prevalent in the specimens from Argentina while the lighter, banded color forms are more prevalent in specimens from Brazil. Due the much shortened segments of the antennae, this species may be a cleptoparasite.	en	Sadler, Emily (2017): Review of the Neotropical spider wasp subgenus Anoplius (Dicranoplius) Haupt (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), new comb.

DF7587A2FFDEFF91FF70FA52FE880017.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. For A. brevitarsus, both sexes have a black head and mesosoma with reddish orange metasoma, but have silver setae surrounding areas of black setae forming an obvious pattern on the dorsum of the head, pronotum, mesonotum and scutellum, while the propodeum is mostly black except posterolaterally (Figs. 1 c, d). The female has the vertex of the head more strongly arched than in other species, has three comb spines, and the last metasomal tergum has thin setae. The male has a posterior band on the pronotum, has dense white setae on the posterior face of the propodeum, and has an aedeagus that is slightly longer than the parapenial lobes and has expanded apical lobes (Fig. 4 in Evans (1969 )).	en	Sadler, Emily (2017): Review of the Neotropical spider wasp subgenus Anoplius (Dicranoplius) Haupt (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), new comb.

DF7587A2FFD8FF93FF70FA51FA8A021E.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is the only species of Dicranoplius to be found in Chile. Although the holotype was not studied, specimens identified by Evans (1969) deposited in the FSCA collected by C. Porter were studied. Evans (1969) states that he had little material to study (19 females, 15 males). Due to the collecting efforts of F. D. Parker and M. E. Irwin, substantially more specimens have been collected both in Chile and Argentina, and it seems that this species is more wide spread in Argentina than originally thought by Evans (1969). Evans (1966) misspelled the specific epithet in the female key as diphonicus and this misspelling now can be found in many collections.	en	Sadler, Emily (2017): Review of the Neotropical spider wasp subgenus Anoplius (Dicranoplius) Haupt (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), new comb.

However, the pronotum of the male only has a broad integumental band of whitish yellow and lacks black setal patches, and the propodeum has only the posterior face with whitish long setae, while the remainder is black (Fig. 3 c, e). Additionally, the female has three comb spines and the last metasomal tergum has thin setae, while the aedeagus of the male is slightly longer than the parapenial lobes and has expanded apical lobes (Fig. 5).	en	Sadler, Emily (2017): Review of the Neotropical spider wasp subgenus Anoplius (Dicranoplius) Haupt (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae), new comb.
