DE3902AF3272E4ECE9792EB16AB0ADE9.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The genus Antrocephalus is a difficult genus to define its limits. This is because the genus comes very close to Hockeria and rarely also to Kriechbaumerella. Only with extensive expertise in the taxonomy of these genera one can authoritatively identify this genus, which in future perhaps will be more reliably possible by using molecular markers.	en	Narendran, T.

Antrocephalus validicornis comes near Antrocephalus phaeospilus Waterston in the key to species provided by Narendran (1989), but differs from it in having: 1) hind femur more than twice as long as wide (in Antrocephalus phaeospilus less than twice as long as wide); 2) hind femur black with base and apex red (in Antrocephalus phaeospilus completely red); 3) apex of scutellum only emarginate; not bi-lobed (in Antrocephalus phaeospilus apex of scutellum bi-lobed) and 4) eyes bare (in Antrocephalus phaeospilus eyes setose). Antrocephalus validicornis superficially resembles Antrocephalus atulyus Narendran (Narendran, 1989), but differs from it in having: 1) comb of teeth on ventral margin of hind femur starting near middle length of femur to apex (in Antrocephalus atulyus comb of teeth starts well before middle length of femur); 2) interstices of pronotum and of anterior part of mesoscutum rugose and somewhat carinate (in Antrocephalus atulyus interstices mostly smooth and shiny); 3) apex of scutellum emarginate (in Antrocephalus atulyus apex of scutellum bi-lobed) and 4) fore wing without any brown or black infuscation (in Antrocephalus atulyus fore wing with brownish infuscation adjoining MV). Among Vietnamese species of Antrocephalus, Antrocephalus validicornis comes near Antrocephalus nasutus (Holmgren) in having PMV distinctly longer than MV, but differs from it in having: 1) hind femur with ventral comb of teeth starting from middle length of hind femur, occupying 0.5 x length of femur (in Antrocephalus nasutus comb of teeth starts well before middle length of hind femur, occupying 0.7 x length of femur); 2) apex of scutellum shallowly emarginate (in Antrocephalus nasutus apex of scutellum deeply incised) and 3) hind femur black with base and apex red (in Antrocephalus nasutus hind femur red).	en	Narendran, T.

Hence the female of this species is described here in detail. Brachymeria kamijoi comes near Brachymeria fiskei Habu in the key to species by Habu (1960), but differs from that species in having: 1) the hind tibia black at base except a small yellow spot before base (in Brachymeria fiskei hind tibia widely yellowish at base) and 2) the scutellum uniformly and densely pitted (in Brachymeria fiskei scutellum with a narrow impunctate smooth space medially). This species also resembles Brachymeria nephantidis Gahan in the general colour of the body, but differs from it in having: 1) the scutellum emarginate at its apex (in Brachymeria nephantidis scutellum apex evenly curved and entire); and 2) metasoma subglobose (in Brachymeria nephantidis metasoma ovate).	en	Narendran, T.

4B6EFFF58B00C5F101478225C1809DC0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Brachymeria calopeplae Joseph, Narendran & Joy is close to Brachymeria minuta (Linnaeus) but differs by having: 1) pits on middle part of mesoscutum and scutellum mostly as wide as diameter of a pit and smooth and shiny (in Brachymeria minuta pits on middle part of mesoscutum and scutellum closer and less than diameter of a pit and partially carinate); 2) yellow part of hind femur almost half of femur (in Brachymeria minuta yellow part of hind femur much smaller than that of Brachymeria calopeplae); 3) T 6 distinctly and deeply pitted (in Brachymeria minuta T 6 shallowly pitted); 4) parasitoid of Calopepla leayana (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) (Brachymeria minuta so far not reported from Coleoptera). Joseph et al. (1972) described Brachymeria calopeplae as a distinct new species and later in 1973 downgraded it as a subspecies of Brachymeria minuta. Narendran (1989) treated Brachymeria calopeplae as distinct species without formally reinstating its independent old species status. Here we reinstate its species status (status revised) since later studies of more specimens from the hosts Calopepla leayana (Latreille) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) showed uniform unique characteristics of this species, which necessitates it to return to its independent species status.	en	Narendran, T.

CF7F1838912F6C835719ABCF792EB766.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species is very close to Brachymeria minuta considering the head and the mesosoma and the colour pattern of the hind tibia. However, it differs from Brachymeria minuta in having: 1) hind femur 1.8 - 2.1 x as long as wide (in Brachymeria minuta hind femur less than 1.7 x as long as wide); 2) dorsal side of hind femur in lateral view dilated straightly from base to widest part, hence also straightly contracted towards apex so that the dorsal side is weakly angulate (in Brachymeria minuta the dorsal side of hind femur in lateral view not dilated but rounded from base to apex); and 3) the apical whitish patch on hind femur is generally limited on outer dorsal side, not extending on to inner side (in Brachymeria minuta apical yellow patch extend also to inner side).	en	Narendran, T.

This new species comes to Epitranus nigriceps Boucek in the keys by Boucek (1982) and Narendran (1989), but differs from it in having: 1) interstices between punctures narrower than diameter of a puncture on mesoscutum and axillae (in Epitranus nigriceps interstices between punctures broader than diameter of a puncture in many places on mesoscutum and axillae); 2) post-spiracular teeth present (in Epitranus nigriceps post-spiracular teeth absent); 3) post-orbital carina reaching posterior margin of gena (in Epitranus nigriceps post-orbital carina running upwards to near lateral ocellus); 4) eyes sparsely setose (in Epitranus nigriceps eyes bare); 5) funicular segments mostly transverse (in Epitranus nigriceps funicular segments slightly elongate); 6) mesosoma and metasoma darker (in Epitranus nigriceps mesosoma and metasoma more reddish); 7) metasoma pointed at apex (in Epitranus nigriceps metasoma rather blunt at apex); 8) sublateral and submedian carinae of propodeum a little convex (in Epitranus nigriceps sublateral and submedian carinae of propodeum straight), and 9) POL 1.3 x OOL (in Epitranus nigriceps POL 1.7 x OOL).	en	Narendran, T.

Heydoniella differs from Oxycoryphe in having: 1) pronotum without a median tooth or tubercle or triangle (in Oxycoryphe pronotum with a median tooth or tubercle or at least a median triangle); 2) hind coxa with a characteristic tuft of white dorsal setae (Fig. 94; in Oxycoryphe hind coxa without such characteristic white tuft of setae dorsally); 3) T 1 unusually large, exceeding well middle of metasoma (in Oxycoryphe T 1 not unusually large and not exceeding middle of metasoma), and 4) fore wing with two infumate bands (in Oxycoryphe fore wing without such bands). Shape of T 1 of Heydoniella resembles that of Nearretocera Girault, which belongs to the tribe Hybothoracini, whereas Heydoniella belongs to the tribe Haltichellini.	en	Narendran, T.

However, Trigonura luzonensis differs from Trigonura indica in many features. In Trigonura luzonensis the outer disc of hind femur is densely and minutely punctate and blackish, without any yellow spot, whereas in Trigonura indica the punctures are less close on the hind femur and it is yellowish-red with a distinct characteristic yellow spot at the apex. The hind tibia is reddish-brown with its base black in Trigonura indica, whereas in Trigonura luzonensis the hind tibia is completely black. In addition, the punctation on T 6 differs in both species.	en	Narendran, T.
