4F1587A1FFF20819AAE1F3BEFB97FE2D.taxon	description	The 45 genera of Diapriinae in the Neotropical region form 5 geographic subregions (Mexico, Antilles, Central America, South America, and Valdivian / Patagonian) most of which seem to be more sharply delimited than the corresponding subregions of the Nearctic region. 1. Mexico. This area covers Mexico from the US border to the isthmus of Tehuantepec. Twenty genera (Acanthopria, Auxopaedeutes, Avoca, Basalys, Caecopria, Coptera, Doddius, Doliopria, Ecitovagus, Entomacis, Idiotypa, Labidopria, Leucopria, Megaplastopria, Monelata, Paramesius, Pentapria, Psychopria, Spilomicrus, and Trichopria) are recorded from Mexico but none are peculiar to it. The fauna is a typical mixture of Nearctic and Neotropical fauna; Nearctic elements proliferate deeply south along the central mountains and Neotropical elements extend along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts and northwards. 2. Central America. This area covers the Mexican state of Chiapas south to Panama. With 28 genera (Acanthopria, Asolenopsia, Basalys, Caecopria, Coptera, Cruzium, Doddius, Doliopria, Ecitovagus, Eladio, Entomacis, Hansona, Idiotypa, Labidopria, Leucopria, Megaplastopria, Mimopriella, Monelata, Ortona, Paramesius, Peckidium, Pentapria, Psychopria, Spilomicrus, Szelenyiopria, Szelenyisca, Trichopria, and Turripria) including virtually all speciose ones, this subregion is second only to South America. The two subregions are closely related faunally (at species­group level) and many widespread species are shared, especially along coastlines both in the Caribbean and Pacific. There are no genera peculiar to Central America. 3. Antilles. This area covers the Greater and Lesser Antilles minus Trinidad. With only 18 genera (Acanthopria, Auxopaedeutes, Avoca, Basalys, Caecopria, Calogalesus, Coptera, Doliopria, Entomacis, Idiotypa, Megaplastopria, Monelata, Paramesius, Peckidium, Pentapria, Psychopria, Spilomicrus, and Trichopria), and no endemics this subregion is generally depauperate. Most conspicuously missing are all Neotropical genera of Diapriinae associated with army ants (Ecitonini), but some speciose Neotropical genera are also not represented. The overall species diversity of some larger genera is rather low in the Antilles (e. g., Trichopria, Coptera, and Spilomicrus). The single record of Calogalesus (Lesser Antilles) most probably accounts for a ‘‘ tramp’ ’ species. 4. South America. We include here the Caribbean coast of Colombia, Venezuela, the Guyanas, Trinidad, Amazon basin, Pantanal (Paraguay, Argentina) and the Andes from Colombia to Peru and Galapagos Islands. The maximum of 36 genera (Acanthopria, Asolenopsia, Avoca, Basalys, Bruchopria, Caecopria, Coptera, Cruzium, Doddius, Doliopria, Eladio, Entomacis, Hansona, Idiotypa, Labidopria, Leucopria, Megaplastopria, Mimopria, Mimopriella, Mitropria, Monelata, Neivapria, Notoxoides, Omopria, Ortona, Paramesius, Philolestoides, Peckidium, Pentapria, Psychopria, Spilomicrus, Szelenyiopria, Szelenyisca, Trichopria, Turripria, and Xanthopria) makes the South American subregion the richest and simultaneously the most diverse in the New World. In particular, the genera of Diapriinae associated with ants reach the highest levels of diversity. The High Andes are notable for the northward proliferation of southern temperate faunal elements. 5. Valdivian / Patagonian. This subregion comprises most of southern Chile (including Juan Fernandez Island) and the Argentinian province Nunquen (including the Falkland Islands) with temperate to cool­temperate forests and grasslands. There are relatively few faunal connections to the rest of the Neotropics but endemism is high and some distinct Gondwanic ties to New Zealand, Australia, and (rarely) South Africa. Only 11 genera (( Chilomicrus, Doddius, Entomacis, Epomium, Ferrugenus, Idiotypa, Paramesius, Pentapria, Poecilopsilus, Spilomicrus, and Xenismarus), with 5 genera endemic (Chilomicrus, Epomium, Ferrugenus, Poecilopsilus, and Xenismarus )) are recorded from this subregion. The records of Diapria from Chile probably represent a tramp species. However, the number and frequency of species in any habitat of this subregion is truly remarkable. Together with the Belytinae and Ambositrinae, Diapriinae is the dominant group among all microhymenoptera in this part of the New World. Conversely, the genera of many New World Diapriinae, including some speciose ones, are remarkably absent here. The Valdivian / Patagonian subregion appears to be an important center of evolution, having predominately archaic or plesiomorphic taxa of Diapriinae.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Coptera was previously confused with Psilus (= Galesus); Muesebeck (1980) emphasized the shape of the occiput and the reduction of venation in the forewing along with the ratio of A 3 and A 4 in the male antenna as the principle characteristics of Coptera. Unlike Psilus, no Coptera species are known to be apterous or brachypterous. Coptera differs from Ortona by the structure of the mandibles and the structure of the female antennal clava, and from Aneuropria by the deeply notched anterior margin of T 2 (macrotergite).	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFD80836A821F2FFFE7FFE9D.taxon	biology_ecology	BIOLOGY: Several species were reared from various dipterous hosts (Muesebeck, 1980); the most frequently attacked families include the fruit flies (Tephritidae), hereby demonstrating the importance in biocontrol (Loiácono, 1981; Silvestri, 1914). Species are encountered in a multitude of habitats, from lowlands to highlands. Several species were collected in light traps in Brazil but none associated with ants.

4F1587A1FFD80836A821F2FFFE7FFE9D.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Ortona hansoni, new spe­ cies (described below), by present designation. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Ortona is compared best with Aneuropria Kieffer and Coptera Say. With the former it shares normally clasped mandibles and unarmed A 1, but differs from it principally by the antennal formula and by the structure of the antennal clava in the female, furthermore by the deeply grooved anterior part of T 2. From Coptera it differs primarily by the normally clasped mandibles, unarmed A 1, also by the antennal formula. Ortona belongs to the tribe Psilini mainly because of the exposed sclerotized labrum, formation of a true macrotergite 2 of the metasoma, and the reduction of wing venation in the forewing.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFDC0834A821F2FFFE68FCAD.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: This is the second largest tribe of the subfamily with 12 genera recognized in the New World (Bruchopria Kieffer, Chilomicrus, new genus, Doddius, new genus, Entomacis Foerster, Epomium, new genus, Ferrugenus, new genus, Idiotypa Foerster, Paramesius Westwood, Pentapria Kieffer, Poecilopsilus Ogloblin, Spilomicrus Westwood, and Xenismarus Ogloblin). Although habitually quite cohesive, the tribe remains defined mostly on characters of plesiomorphic conditions. Xenismarus and Chilomicrus are perhaps the most primitive genera, with antennal formula 14 – 14. The absolute majority of the tribe has antennal formula 13 – 13, which is quite unique in the entire subfamily. Wing reduction in both sexes is frequent among the Spilomicrini. The biological ground plan is with dipterous hosts; no highly specialized myrmecophiles are known among the members of this tribe and no species seem to enter aquatic habitats.

4F1587A1FFDE0820A821F009FE68FD01.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Bruchopria pentatoma Kieffer. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Among the genera of Spilomicrini, Bruchopria is unique principally because of the fine velvety pilosity of the metapleuron, propodeum, and petiole. The carinate posteromedian margin of pronotum is also peculiar to Bruchopria. The latter two apomorphies are interpreted as adaptations for association with host ants. Within the Spilomicrini, Bruchopria is closest to Spilomicrus, from which it also differs by the structure of the scutellum which is devoid of all pits. Aulatopria is presently made junior synonym of Bruchopria (see above) (types examined).	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFDE0820A821F009FE68FD01.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Chilomicrus pecki, new species (described below). RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Chilomicrus may be placed at the base of the tribe Spilomicrini largely because of its most plesiomorphic antennal formula (14 – 14). However, the perpendicular basal vein in the forewing is considered a unique, highly derived state of wing venation, conveniently distinguishing this new genus from all members of the Spilomicrini. Among the genera of Spilomicrini, Chilomicrus differs from Pentapria also by the structure of the anterior scutellar fovea, the structure of the side of the pronotum, and by the relatively high pointed median keel of the propodeum. From Epomium and Ferrugenus it differs principally by the absence of the epomium and the lack of closed cell in hind wing.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFDE0820A821F009FE68FD01.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Bakeria rugosa Dodd, by present designation and new combination. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Doddius is distinct among the Spilomicrini because of the strongly striate cheeks and the unusually long marginal vein in the forewing. Most species known to us exhibit rough rugose sculpture, especially on the mesoscutum and scutellum; however, we know also a number of species with these parts almost entirely smooth. Doddius is related to Entomacis (especially its primitive group of species in Chile), Poecilopsilus, and Xenismarus largely because of similar structure of mesosoma (e. g., mesopleuron), the toruli, apical rim of the A 1 and the wing venation of the forewing.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Entomacis is a very large genus, especially in the Neotropical region with large numbers of undescribed species. Entomacis is related to Doddius and Poecilopsilus; from Doddius it differs principally by the nonstriate cheeks and the ratio of marginal and stigmal veins, from Poecilopsilus by the structure of the notauli and the absence of a long median process on the dorsellum. Entomacis is represented by numerous undescribed species in the Valdivian forest of Chile (also in New Zealand and temperate Australia); these are considered the most primitive stock of the genus as exemplified by relatively complete venation of the forewing, more widely separated toruli, and the presence of epicnemial pit, epicnemial carina and the crenulae along the posterior margin of the mesopleuron. These species are also remarkable for dense micropilosity of the body.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFDE0820A821F009FE68FD01.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Ferrugenus chilensis, new species (described below), by present designation. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Ferrugenus and Epomium share several highly plesiomorphic character states such as tracheate basal and posterior median veins, broad costal cell and thick marginal vein in forewing and fully tracheate closed basal cell in hind wing. On the other hand, the deeply crenulate notaulus, the rough rugose sculpture of the head and mesosoma as well as the deep cleft on anterior margin of the syntergite in Ferrugenus is considered highly apomorphic. Ferrugenus differs from Pentapria by the bifoveate anterior scutellar pit, furthermore by the sharply pointed epomium, elongate A 3 in female antenna and moderately developed median keel of propodeum. Ferrugenus shares similar structure of the scapal (A 1) rim with Entomacis and Poecilopsilus; it differs from both in wing venation and structure of the antenna.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Among the Spilomicrini, Idiotypa comes closest to Pentapria Kieffer, from which it differs by the wing venation (nonarcuate basal vein, strong development of postmarginal vein) and strong development of the median propodeal keel. Typically, individuals of Idiotypa are more lightly colored than blackish individuals of Pentapria. We tentatively clas­ sify in Idiotypa a large complex of shortwinged or apterous, highly modified species (♀ 3) from the Valdivian forest in Chile and Argentina. Female antenna usually 13 ­ segmented (rarely 10, 11, or 12), male antenna always 14 ­ segmented, with A 4 modified. Final classification of this complex would require data on wing venation.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Pentapria is one of the largest and most polytypic genera of Diapriinae in the Neotropical region. Several marginal species were previously given generic status; however, after examination of the type material of these genera as well as a large amount of additional material, we decided to treat them as junior synonyms (see synonymy above). Pentapria, in this new broader concept is recognized principally on cephalic characters (profile of head with mandibles prominent, exposed labrum, position of toruli), characteristic wing venation (broad costal cell and position of stigmal and postmarginal veins), and the modified anterior margin of the syntergite. Among the Spilomicrini, Pentapria appears closest to Idiotypa, from which it differs conveniently in female by antennal structure; also by structure of mandibles, by exposed labrum, and by different position and length of stigmal and postmarginal veins in forewing. The members of Pentapria are usually ebony black (except for some light brown species in Chile); members of Idiotypa are never black, usually brown, reddish brown to almost yellowish.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFCA0825A821F19EFE69FB72.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION: The present known distribution of Pentapria is in the New World; three species were described from the Nearctic region (Fouts, 1939) and several from the Neotropical region (Kieffer, 1916). We examined several thousand specimens and estimate a minimum of 150 species to be described from the Neotropic region. The genus is exceptionally diverse in Chile; we also observed an interesting case of sympatric speciation of short­winged and apterous species of Pentapria (= Spilomicrinus) in Juan Fernández Isl. In tropical America, members of Pentapria occur from wet lowlands to high mountains, very abundant in cloud forest zone, reaching to páramo region in high Andes (above 4000 m). However, we also examined a single undescribed species from Japan and two undescribed species from Australia (CNCI).	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Spilomicrus is a large polytypic genus; in the past, several marginal species groups were given generic rank, especially in the Neotropic region. Among the Spilomicrini, Spilomicrus differs from Pentapria by bifoveate anterior scutellar pit, entire (not notched) anterior margin of syntergite, and lack of deep longitudinal groove on side of pronotum. From Entomacis it differs also by the bifoveate anterior scutellar pit, furthermore by the ratio of the marginal versus the stigmal veins and the strong development of the antennal shelf connecting the toruli. From Paramesius it differs by the shorter marginal vein and relatively short, nonconical shape of female apical sternite.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFC20852AAE1F21BFBE1FABD.taxon	discussion	REMARKS: The tribe Diapriini is interpreted here in the classical sense. At present, we classify 33 genera, represented in the New World: Acanthopria Ashmead; Apopria, new genus; Asolenopsia Kieffer; Auxopaedeutes Brues; Avoca, new genus; Basalys Westwood; Bruesopria Wing; Cruzium, new genus; Diapria Latreille Doliopria Kieffer; Ecitovagus Masner; Eladio, new genus; Hansona, new genus; Labidopria Wasmann; Leucopria, new genus; Megaplastopria Ashmead; Mimopria Holmgren; Mimopriella, new genus; Mitropria Ogloblin; Monelata Foerster; Myrmecopria Ashmead; Neivapria Borgmeier; Notoxoides Ashmead; Omopria, new genus; Philolestoides Ferrière; Platymiscus Westwood; Psychopria, new genus; Szelenyiopria Fabritius; Szelenyisca Masner; Townesella Huggert and Masner; Trichopria Ashmead; Turripria, new genus; and Xanthopria Brues. This is probably the most speciose, diverse, and most apomorphic tribe of the subfamily Diapriinae. Diapriini is the only tribe that includes all true symphilic genera, some of them considerably adapted morphologically to life with ants; these adaptations include far­reaching mimicry with the host ants including the type of sculpture, pilosity, color, behavior, and biology. The biological ground plan is primary parasitism (solitary or gregarious) of various Diptera; several species were reared from coleopterous hosts, members associated with ants are known or assumed to parasitize ant larvae; some species are aquatic.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Acanthopria is one of the largest genera of Neotropical Diapriinae. Although only few species were described, we estimate the numbers to reach hundreds. Originally Acanthopria in females was recognized on the armed scutellum (Ashmead, 1893; Kieffer, 1916). The polytypic nature of Acanthopria in females is exemplified by a number of natural species groups, showing great diversity of character states. After examination of a large amount of material consisting of thousands of specimens (CNCI), we decided to interpret Acanthopria in a rather broad sense. Once better studied and with its biology known, the genus may be subdivided into several independent genera. Adelioneiva Fischer appears to us as one of those groups and we prefer to treat the genus as a junior synonym. Acan­ thopria belongs to the tribe Diapriini; it is related both to the large genus Trichopria Ashmead, from which it differs principally by unarmed foretibia, male antennomeres A 3 and A 4 at least partly fused, and by female antenna nonabrupt and not broadened toward apex; furthermore, most Acanthopria species are distinguished by light color of body compared with generally much darker coloration of Trichopria species. Acanthopria shows also some relationships with myrmecophilic genera of the Diapriini such as Labidopria Wasmann; Leucopria, new genus; Mimopriella, new genus; etc. Acanthopria differs from them by the absence of specialized spot on S 2 or by normal, i. e., noncompressed tarsi. Contrary to frequent coriaceous sculpture in ecitophilus genera, almost all species of Acanthopria known to us have smooth bodies. Acanthopria differs from Eladio, new genus, by the absence of a specialized comb of setae on hind tibia, and by nonsculptured body.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFC20852AAE1F21BFBE1FABD.taxon	biology_ecology	BIOLOGY: The hosts are not known for any species. However, several observations (Ferrière, 1929; Borgmeier, 1939; Mann, 1918) indicate close association of Acanthopria species with ants (army ants, leafcutting ants). A series of females in CNCI was collected in Costa Rica rainforest attempting to enter a nest of leafcutting ants viz. Cyphomyrmex sp. (Attini). Nevertheless, Acanthopria species studied by us do not exhibit any advanced morphological adaptations as known among true myrmecophiles (e. g., Mimopria Holmgren; Mimopriella, new genus; Notoxoides Ashmead; Philolestoides Ferrière). Numerous light­colored species of Acanthopria are presumed to be nocturnal, as inferred from rich material collected in light traps in lowland Brazil and Panama (CNCI).

4F1587A1FFC20852AAE1F21BFBE1FABD.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Apopria coveri, new species (described below), by present designation. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Apopria is recognized on number of unique, extreme apomorphic states reflecting its close association with the host ants: loss of eyes, ocelli, palpi, wings, and tibial spurs, furthermore by development of special projections on fore and mid basitarsi, presence of large deep depression on upper mesopleuron, as well as unique massive, tonguelike dorsellum. Apopria appears to share some character states with Ecitovagus and Myrmecopria; structure of propodeum and metasoma past petiole, as well as type of antenna, is shared with Ecitovagus; shape of head, reduction of palpi and tibial spurs, pustulae on femora and A 1, are shared with Myrmecopria. The tendency to reduce palpi and tibial spurs, as a manifestation of a high degree of integration with the host ant, has started in Myrmecopria and culminates in Apopria.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFC20852AAE1F21BFBE1FABD.taxon	biology_ecology	BIOLOGY: Apopria coveri was originally collected from bivouac of ecitonine ant Neivamyrmex opacithorax (Emery) (det. S. Cov­ er) in the very center of the colony, deep underground, in total darkness. Judging from the loss of wings, eyes, and ocelli we assume that the life cycle and dispersal strategies of Apopria are entirely different from all symphilic genera of Diapriinae known to us in which eyes and ocelli are developed and wings primarily present (Huggert and Masner, 1983). A. coveri probably disperses underground with the newly budding colonies of the host ant. The second species, to be described later, sympatric with A. coveri, was collected in a colony of Neivamyrmex carolinensis (Emery) (det. M. Deyrup).

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Asolenopsia is presented here in the broader sense, i. e., including Euplacopria as a junior synonym. Asolenopsia gibba, new species, illustrates another borderline state of characters in Asolenopsia; originally we thought it may represent an independent genus. The important synapomorphy of Asolenopsia is the shape of the eye, which is somewhat inverted and droplike, with the posterior orbit slightly sinuate, and with the ommatidia large and raspberry­like. The differences in number of antennomeres as well as the armature of the propodeum appear to blend gradually in larg­ er material already at hand (CNCI).	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFBA0855AAE1F7FFFE69FE44.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION (♀ 3): HEAD. Head in dorsal view globular, frons unarmed, antennal shelf sometimes very large and deep, not margined posteriorly; head in lateral view with antennal shelf moderately projecting, torulus in middle to upper level of eye; eye subcircular, distinctly smaller in females than males, posterior orbit of eye rounded; ommatidia small and flat, not raspberry­like; oral carina absent; postgenal cushion relatively small or absent; occipital flange minute; hypostomal bridge well developed; mandible bidentate; palpi extremely short and minute, palpal formula appearing 2 – 1; female antenna 12 ­ segmented, generally short and stout, clava semiabrupt to abrupt, 2 – 4 ­ segmented, A 4 – A 9 transverse or penicillate, A 2 subrectangular in dorsal view, A 12 without pit ventrally; A 1 (♀ 3) moderately to strongly compressed, not armed apically, usually slightly wider basally than apically; male antenna 14 ­ segmented, rather short, A 5 – A 14 beadlike with random long bristles, A 3 and A 4 large, sexually modified, A 4 deeply emarginate with sharp carina; special brushes not developed. MESO­ SOMA. Pronotum in dorsal view moderately to strongly developed; pronotal shoulders prominent in some species; side of pronotum slightly convex, epomium not developed; pronotal cushion strong, moderate or absent; mesoscutum as long as wide, only slightly convex or flat, parapsidal lines, anterior parallel lines and humeral sulci absent; anterior scutellar pit of various shapes, usually shallow, smaller than scutellar disc; scutellar disc pillow­shaped, at most with moderate longitudinal keel, lateral keels moderately developed; posterior margin of axilla almost rounded, axillar depression very small, rarely with foamy structures; mesopleuron rather flat, submedian oblique line very weak or absent; sternaulus not developed; dorsellum weakly developed; metapleuron entirely covered with appressed fine pilosity; propodeum strongly modified, rather short and broad, deeply U­shaped excavate medially, excavation reaching almost to posterior margin of dorsellum leaving no median keel, plica not developed, sides of propodeum usually projecting posteriorly; wings primarily present and clear, basal vein not indicated, submarginal vein relatively short, not exceeding basal quarter of wing length, submarginal vein slightly upcurved; wings sometimes rudimentary or absent (bitten off by ant host); legs relatively short and stout especially in female, foretibia with strong dorsal spine.

MESO­ SOMA. Pronotum in dorsal view moderately developed; pronotal shoulders not developed, epomium absent; pronotal cushion strongly developed; propleuron densely hairy; mesoscutum as long as wide, only slightly convex or flat, often with shallow (nonimpressed) declivities in anterior notaular region, sulci and lines not developed; anterior scutellar pit generally transverse­subrectangular or subcircular, rarely almost bifoveate, or pit not developed; scutellar disc subquadrate, predominantly flat, rarely with fine median keel, lateral keels of disc sometimes strongly developed, lateral scutellar pits rarely devel­ oped; posterior margin of axilla finely round­ ed, axillar depression large, usually hairy; mesopleuron almost flat, oblique median line weak or absent; epicnemial pit not developed; sternaulus absent; dorsellum usually densely hairy, with three keels; metapleuron rugulose, generally hairy; propodeum relatively short, with strong median keel and well defined plica, area between plica and keel predominantly glabrous and smooth; forewing with submarginal vein remote from foremargin of wing by at least its width, venation distinctly surpassing basal third of wing length, stigmal vein often moderately developed, basal vein always present, straight, fully pigmented, perpendicular to but never contiguous with submarginal vein, positioned before marginal vein; hind wing with submarginal vein incomplete; wings often shortened in both sexes; legs slender, with femora and tibia clavate, tarsi not compressed, foretibia without dorsal spine apically. METASOMA. Petiole cylindrical, relatively short, usually densely hairy, rarely with specialized dense pilosity, or petiole dorsally partly glabrous, with longitudinal keels; metasoma past petiole moderately elongate, syntergite only slightly convex to almost flattened dorsally, generally glabrous but often with narrow strip of fine pilosity on anterior margin of syntergite, anterior margin of syntergite straight, not excised medially; S 2 with two hairy depressions and generally dense pilosity anteriorly; female metasoma moderately pointed apically but not conical. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Basalys, as presently interpreted, comprises several former genera (see synonymies above). We recognize Basalys primarily on the unique venation of the forewing, especially the position and the shape of the basal vein. Antennal clava in the female is also diagnostic for the genus, 3 ­ or 4 ­ segmented and strongly abrupt. Basalys is closest to Doliopria; the two genera can be conveniently distinguished by the presence (Basalys) or absence (Doliopria) of the basal vein in the forewing, as well as by the form of antennal clava in the female.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Bruesopria, like Auxopaedeutes, is interpreted here as a specialized lineage of Trichopria, with morphological adaptations for subterranean behavior and interaction with ants. Bruesopria differs from Auxopaedeutes principally in the structure of the propodeum, which is strongly constricted anteriorly due to deep excavation of the anterior part of the metapleuron. Bruesopria is closely related to Palearctic genera Solenopsia Wasmann and Lepidopria Kieffer; future studies may necessitate subsequent synonymy.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

MESOSOMA. Pronotum in dorsal view moderately developed, pronotal shoulders not developed, sides of pronotum flat, epomium not developed, anterior margin of pronotum and propleuron with massive cushions; mesoscutum moderately convex, with scattered semierect bristles, with no sulci, lines or depressions; anterior scutellar pit large and deep, often with longitudinal ridges; scutellar disc subrectangular, with strong median longitudinal keel; posterior margin of axilla moderately sharp, axillar depression with abundant appressed micropilosity; mesopleuron only slightly convex, with submedian oblique line rudimentary; sternaulus not developed; dorsellum densely hairy, with median keel stronger than lateral keels; metapleuron entirely covered with semiappressed silvery pilosity; propodeum rather short with distinct median keel raised medially, plica weakly developed, area between plica and keel hairy, posterior margin of propodeum V­shaped emarginate; wings always present, submarginal vein in forewing almost straight, reaching basal third of wing, stigmal vein rudimentary, basal vein not developed; submarginal vein in hind wing incomplete, indicated basally and apically near hamuli; legs generally slender, femora strongly, tibia moderately clavate distally, tarsi not compressed, apex of foretibia with long, slender spine dorsally. METASOMA. Petiole distinctly elongate, cylindrical, with irregular longitudinal keels and abundant pilosity both dorsally and ventrally; metasoma past petiole moderately convex, distinctly conical apically in female; anterior margin of syntergite raised, flexed, and excised medially; S 2 basally with dense pilosity, specialized spot on S 2 not developed, apical sternite in female vomeriform, sharply conical. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Diapria has been traditionally recognized on the presence of the median excision and flexion of the anterior margin of the syntergite. The ground plan of Diapria is essentially identical with that of Trichopria, s. l.; however, several minor details are worth mentioning. Contrary to some Trichopria, foamy structures and the specialized pit on female A 12 never occur in Diapria and female clavomeres are not flattened ventrally. Sundholm (1960) discussed the taxonomy of Diapria and allied genera.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Doliopria is closely related to Basalys mainly be­ cause of the structure of the head, and the course of the submarginal vein in the forewing. Doliopria differs from Basalys principally in the structure of the female antenna as well as the absence of the basal vein in the forewing. Furthermore, the anterior margin of the syntergite is never excised or modified in Basalys. Doliopria reichenspergeri Ferrière was transferred to Szelenyiopria (Fabritius, 1974).	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Among the ecitophilic genera Ecitovagus can be distinguished conveniently on two apomorphic character states: the anteromedian hump on mesoscutum and the strongly constricted and prolonged median part of propodeum. Masner (1977) compared Ecitovagus with Myrmecopria, emphasizing differences in structure of mesoscutum, propodeum, and absence of sharp apices of tibiae in Ecitovagus. Ecitovagus shares some character states with Apopria, and also resembles Notoxoides and Philolestoides, primarily in the shape of the mesosoma, which is higher than wide and also in the profile of petiole and the rest of metasoma.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

The wasps resemble ants, not only in size and color but also in movements, making distinguishing difficult. True lytic alectomy occurs in E. gibbus.

4F1587A1FFB40840AAE1F0B3FE7FFAF9.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Eladio cruzi, new species (described below), by present designation. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Members of Eladio can be recognized conveniently on two synapomorphies, namely the characteristic netlike reticulation of the head, mesosoma, and legs, and the dense brush of setae on inner side of tibia. Eladio is also characterized by glassy wings, a strongly developed median keel of propodeum as well as high degree of thick pilosity on pronotum, metapleuron, and petiole. Eladio appears related to Acanthopria primarily because of structure and shape of wings and type of male antenna, especially the fusion of A 3 and A 4. Eladio is also related to Szelenyiopria, another derivative of Acanthopria.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFB40840AAE1F0B3FE7FFAF9.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Hansona pauli, new species (described below), by present designation. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Hansona appears related to a group of species in Leucopria with which it shares general habitus, structure of female antenna, and leucose­yellow glandular spot on apex of metasoma in females. It differs from Leucopria by round­shaped scutellum, strongly sculptured mesoscutum, in male by nonverticillate A 3 ­ A 13. In the key, Hansona comes in the same couplet with Xanthopria; the two gen­ era are only distantly related and differ principally by the absence (Xanthopria) or presence (Hansona) of marginal cilia in the forewing.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

MESOSOMA. Mesosoma relatively short, subglobular, highly convex, both dorsally and ventrally, pronotum with long cervix, sides of pronotum strongly convex, generally densely hairy, rarely with only scattered bristles, in some species with coriaceous or rugulose sculpture, without epomium, never with foamy structures or heavy cushions; pronotal shoulders generally absent, if developed, pointlike and anterior margin of pronotum rarely with heavy collar of pegs; mesoscutum semicircular, strongly convex dorsally; anterior scutellar pit very shallow to almost rudimentary, or indicated as shallow depression; axillar depression rudimentary, usually without foamy structures; posterior margin of axilla as well as sides of scutellar disc sloping down roundly; scutellar disc only slightly convex, lateral and medial keels indistinct or absent, rarely disc balllike convex; mesopleuron usually remarkably convex, rarely only moderately convex, partly hairy; medi­ an oblique line well developed, rarely even sulcate; sternaulus absent; dorsellum with three keels only rudimentary or keels absent; propodeum smooth, coriaceous or rugulose, rather short, rounded to conical, median keel absent or at most indicated only anteriorly, posterior margin of propodeum dorsally deeply excavate, margin dorsally and laterally produced into sharp semitransparent lamina, very rarely lamina dorsally absent, laminae often overlapping anterior border of petiole; wings primarily developed, almost clear, remarkably long, submarginal vein relatively short, submarginal vein moderately curved up toward marginal vein and running strongly approximated to anterior margin of wing, stigmal vein relatively well developed; legs very long and strong, sometimes even incrassate, coxa, especially hind, very large and densely hairy; hind femur moderately to strongly compressed and curved basally (dorsal view); hind tibia compressed basally; tarsi moderately to strongly compressed.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Among related genera of Diapriini, members of Labidopria can be distinguished by the followings character states: body strongly constrict­ ed in cervical and petiolar regions, with head mesosoma and metasoma past petiole strongly globular; posterior margin of propodeum usually with semitransparent laminae; petiole without longitudinal keels; syntergite entirely hairy. Unlike in Acanthopria, foamy structures are rudimentary or absent in Labidopria. Mimopriella differs from Labidopria principally in formation and shape of propodeum. Corresponding males could not be associated with females in species studied by us; this could be explained by males undistinguished generally from, e. g., Acanthopria, or males being very rare, or all Labidopria species being parthenogenetic.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFAA0844A821F636FC3FFC57.taxon	biology_ecology	BIOLOGY: The published data indicate close association with the ecitonine ant genus Labidus (Ferrière, 1929; Borgmeier, 1939; Loiácono, 1981); unpublished data in CNCI also confirm association with genus Labidus, especially L. predator (Smith). Character states typifying Labidopria in our opinion reflect high degree of adaptive morphology for life with ants, such as strongly developed legs, compressed base of femora, compressed tarsi, etc. Numerous specimens examined by us were collected by light trap (CDC light trap) in Brazil. Many females in the collection are wingless or have little wing stumps. We are considering true lytic alectomy for species with no rudiments; the presence of wing stumps may be explained by the spontaneous breaking of wing in basal area or by cutting off the wings by the host ants.

4F1587A1FFAA0844A821F636FC3FFC57.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Leucopria cylindricornis, new species (described below), by present designation. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Females of Leucopria share large whitish­yellow spot on apex of metasoma, with those of Hansona; this structure is interpreted here as an internal gland with appeasement or repugnatory function. Leucopria can be easily distinguished from Hansona by structure of scutellum, by presence of foamy structures on propleuron and in axillar depression, as well as by smooth mesoscutum. We basically recognize two species groups within Leucopria: one with female antenna with slender clava and the other with female antenna strong, gradually incrassate toward apex. The males of Leucopria also represent two distinct species groups: one with characteristic doublewhorled antennomeres and other with antennomeres with only scattered erect hairs. Leucopria appears close to Acanthopria, from which it can be distinguished principally by the different structure of scutellum (anterior pit, sides of scutellar disc), furthermore by the presence of a specialized spot on S 2, and especially by whitish­yellow apex of female metasoma. In the male sex Leucopria differs from Acanthopria principally by the arrangement of bristles on antennomeres. Finally, members of Leucopria are generally more pubescent that those of Acanthopria, especially on ventral side of metasoma.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFAA0844A821F636FC3FFC57.taxon	biology_ecology	BIOLOGY: The hosts are unknown; some special morphological adaptations in the female sex (special spot on S 2, whitish­yellow apex of female metasoma, pale dense pilosity of body, etc.) indicate possible association with various groups of ants. Two document­ ed cases (CNCI) support the view; one species was found deep in the nest (fungus garden) of Apterostigma auriculatum Wheeler (Attini) in Costa Rica. Also in Costa Rica a series of an undescribed species of Leucopria was observed flying close above a raiding column of Eciton burcheli (Westwood) (Ecitonini). Species of Leucopria are probably nocturnal, especially in dispersal habits, as documented by numerous individuals of both sexes caught in light traps in lowland rainforests of Panama and Brazil. Allectomy was not observed among individuals caught in light traps.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Previous concepts of Mimopria (e. g., Borgmeier, 1939; Masner, 1959) also included the new genus Mimopriella. The two genera are now distinguished primarily by cephalic character states (frons armed in Mimopria, unarmed in Mimopriella), structure of male antenna, different type of setae on body (stiff apically truncate in Mimopria, decumbent and tapering apically in Mimopriella), presence (Mimopriella) or absence (Mimopria) of metasternal cleft, and shape of metasoma. Mimopria in our concept is close to Notoxoides because of the armed frons and heavily sculptured body.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FFA00849A821F7DFFC30FC92.taxon	biology_ecology	BIOLOGY: Species of Mimopria were recorded associated with ecitonine genera Eciton, Labidus, and Nomamyrmex (Loiácono, 1981). Members of Mimopria display a high degree of adaptive morphology for life with host ants, such as rugulose sculpture, specialized setae, lytic alectomy, etc. (Masner, 1976; Huggert and Masner, 1983). Unlike in Notoxoides the sex ratio is heavily slanted toward females in Mimopria; in rich CNCI material only a few males were found.

4F1587A1FFA00849A821F7DFFC30FC92.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Mimopria pentatoma Borgmeier, by present designation. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Until now, members of this new genus were classified in Mimopria (Borgmeier, 1939; Masner, 1959; Loiácono, 1981). The following species of Mimopria are here transferred to Mimopriella (new combinations): M. pentatoma Borgmeier and M. splendens Borgmeier. The two genera can be easily distinguished by cephalic character states (head globular with frons unarmed in Mimopriella vs. head subangular with frons armed in Mimopria), differences in palpal formula (5 – 2 Mimopriella, 3 – 2 Mimopria), presence (Mimopriella) or absence (Mimopria) of metasternal cleft, differences in setae (tapering in Mimopriella, stiff and truncate apically in Mimopria). Generally members of Mimopriella exhibit finer sculpture and are smaller than members of Mimopria. The two genera are also distinct in shape of metasoma past petiole which is highly convex and campanulate in Mimopriella, and only moderately convex in Mimopria. The verticilate flagellomeres in males of Mimopriella are similar to those in Notoxoides, but distinct from scattered hairs on flagellomeres in Mimopria. Acanthopria males differ by fused A 3 ­ A 4, and Leucopria males by two whorls of bristles on A 4 ­ A 13.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: The abundance and different types of pilosity make Monelata unique in the Diapriinae. The females are easily recognized because of the unique structure of the antenna. The males, however, were described as a different genus (Maneval, 1939) and only recently properly distinguished from some males of Trichopria (= Phaenopria) (Pschorn­Walcher, 1956); the principal difference is in the structure of A 4 and pubescence of propodeum, petiole, and S 2.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Originally the sexes of this genus were treated un­ der two generic names, males as Notoxoides, females as Notoxopria. Masner (1976) synonymized Notoxopria and Philolestes with Notoxoides. Notoxoides is unique among re­ lated ecitophilic genera, principally in shape of female head, and armature of pronotum and metasternum. Notoxoides shares armed frons with Mimopria, Philolestoides, Ecitovagus, and Myrmecopria; from Mimopria it differs by long slender stigmal vein and lack of stiff bristles on the body; from Philolestoides principally by head behind eyes with long temples and long occiput. The present diagnosis of Notoxoides includes an extralimital new species from Brazil (Bahia; CNCI), with 12 ­ segmented antenna in female, pronotal horn replaced by approximat­ ed humped pronotal shoulders, median keel of propodeum well developed, etc.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FF980876A821F567FE7FFD9A.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Omopria brevipalpis, new species (described below), by present designation. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Omopria is unique among all genera of the Diapriinae for highly apomorphic structure of pronotal shoulders. It could be compared with Acanthopria, from which it differs primarily by absence of foamy structures and strongly reduced palpi, in males also by nonwhorled flagellum with A 3 and A 4 clearly separated. Omopria shares some similarity with Szelenyiopria particularly in structure of propodeum and presence of stiff, truncate setae on head and mesosoma.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

Head subangular, hypognathous, frons armed with three projections, entire surface of head irregularly corrugated, face distinctly higher than wide, sometimes with median longitudinal keel; eye rather large, higher than wide, more or less tapering ventrally, orbit often bordered by depression or raised keels; ommatidia usually large; ocelli normal; mandible bidentate, with lower tooth longer; palpal formula 5 – 2; oral carina developed, gena and postgena glabrous; postgenal cushion not developed; cheek in frontal view nonangular but distinctly bulging; hypostomal bridge moderately developed; occipital flange rather reduced; antennal shelf relatively large sharply margined posteriorly; antenna 12 ­ segmented, clava multisegmented (6 segments), semiabrupt, cylindrical, clavomeres slightly to clearly transverse, subrectangular, noncompact, A 12 slightly enlarged; A 1 elongate, cylindrical, rounded apically. MESOSOMA. Mesosoma moderately to distinctly higher than wide; pronotum anteromedially with moderate to strong shoulders; epomium moderately to strongly developed; propleuron and anterior sides of pronotum without foamy structures or cushions of hairs; mesoscutum moderately elongate, parapsidal lines sometimes developed, mesoscutum convex in lateral view; scutellum distinctly trapezoidal, anterior scutellar pit rather deep, rarely with longitudinal keels on bottom, shorter than scutellar disc; scutellar disc subcircular, with median longitudinal keel present or absent, with lateral keels more or less developed; axillar depression relatively small; axilla rounded posteriorly; mesopleuron rather flat, moderately concave, submedian oblique line well developed, lower portion of mesopleuron (between fore and medial coxa) with zone of matte granular sculpture, upper part of mesopleuron smooth and shining; dorsellum well developed, with three longitudinal keels; metapleuron almost glabrous, rugulose, with deep depression anterodorsally; propodeum remarkably short and small, steeply sloping down, median keel and plica moderately to strongly developed; wings primarily developed, forewing distinctly longer than body, clear or slightly infuscate, stigmal vein moderately to distinctly elongate; wings may be absent in some individuals (alectomy); legs distinctly strong, femora and tibiae nonclavate, cylindrical, tarsi, especially fore and middle legs, very short, strongly compressed, almost foliaceous; apex of anterior tibia without specialized spine dorsally; METASOMA. Petiole in dorsal view distinctly elongate, without longitudinal keels, in lateral view (2 species) strongly compressed, with strong ventral keel, rarely (1 species) cylindrical; metasoma past petiole in lateral view only moderately convex (1 species) or flat, entire syntergite with scattered semidecumbent bristles, syntergite posteriorly partly sculptured (2 species) or entirely smooth (1 species); specialized spot on S 2 distinctly remote from anterior margin of S 2. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Philolestoides is distinct among ecitophilic genera because of the rough corrugated surface of head and orbit of eye bordered by depression or raised keels. Two of the three species studied show highly modified petiole, strongly compressed, and with raised keel ventrally. The third species from Banhados (Brazil) has plain cylindrical petiole. Philolestoides can be compared with Notoxoides, Mimopria, and Ecitovagus primarily because of armed frons and structure of antennal shelf. From Notoxoides it differs by absence of horn on pronotum; from Mimopria by short high propodeum; and from Ecitovagus by structure of propodeum and absence of hump on mesoscutum.

Pronotum in dorsal view moderately developed, pronotal shoulders not developed, anterior margin of pronotum and propleuron with fine dense pilosity; sides of pronotum flat, epomium not developed; mesoscutum flattened dorsally, with no sulci or lines; transscutal articulation present but fine; tegula strongly reduced; scutellum subrectangular, flattened, without pits; axilla and axillar depression absent; mesopleuron flat, submedian oblique line shallow, rudimentary; epicnemial pit and sternaulus absent; dorsellum absent; metapleuron entirely covered by dense silvery pilosity; propodeum rather large, flattened dorsally, in lateral view propodeum in same level of mesoscutum, medial keel and plica absent, posterior margin and posterolateral corners of propodeum rounded, not projecting, sides of propodeum with dense pilosity; wings entirely absent; legs short and stout, especially all femora; apex of anterior tibia with strong spine dorsally, male forebasitarsus remarkably expanded distally; tarsi of all legs cylindrical, not compressed. METASOMA. Petiole in dorsal view subquadrate, slightly wider than long, densely hairy, without longitudinal keels, in lateral view petiole slightly higher than anterior margin of syntergite; anterior margin of syntergite wider than petiole; entire syntergite and S 2 with dense semierect pilosity; anterior margin of S 2 broadly excavate and with dense pilosity; apex of metasoma in female with only short point. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: In the male sex, Platymischus is readily distinguished from Trichopria largely because of the specialized shape of A 1 and the position of sex segment on A 3; also, the expanded forebasitarsus is unique in Platymischus. However, in female sex, Platymischus is rather difficult to separate from some apterous members of Trichopria; the elongate and somewhat flattened subpentagonal head with small but projecting eyes in Platymischus is the main distinguishing character between the two genera.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FF9C087BA821F113FC30FB49.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Psychopria hoguei, new species (described below), by present designation. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Psychopria is here classified in the tribe Diapriini. We consider it an apomorphic offshoot of Trichopria, s. l., that is highly adapted for aquatic life. The shape of the legs, especially the strong apical tarsus and strong claws, the narrow paddle­shaped wings with angular frenal gutter as well as the specialized body pilosity are interpreted as adaptations to or for aquatic habitats. Psychopria is easily distinguished in the Trichopria complex by the widely spaced toruli, the absence of a sharp antennal ledge between them, and by the strong reduction of the hypostomal bridge. The specialized dense pilosity of the body of Psychopria is also unique in the Diapriini.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

(Diptera; Psychodidae) collected from the lowland rivers in Costa Rica (Hogue, 1973). Dr. L. Quate (Poway, CA, USA) kindly supplied several species of Psychopria reared from Maruina spp. in Central America. All other species were collected in the closest vicinity of running waters (yellow pan traps in creek beds), both in the lowlands and in higher elevations.

Head in dorsal view subglobular; frons unarmed; antennal shelf not margined posteriorly; temple behind eye relatively long, gradually rounded; head in lateral view with torulus in upper half of eye; eye small, ovoid, higher than half head height, posterior margin rounded; ommatidia relatively small, not convex; ocellus distinctly larger than ommatidium; oral carina moderate; postgenal cushion strongly developed, rarely rudimentary; occipital flange rudimentary; head in frontal view with mandible bidentate, lower tooth slightly longer; head in ventral view with hypostomal bridge very narrow; palpal formula 5 – 2; female antenna 11 ­ segmented, in one undescribed species 12 ­ segmented, clava strong, 3 ­ or 4 ­ segmented, spindle­shaped, clavomeres semicompact subrectangular, with three or four clavomeres flattened ventrally; apical segment (A 11 or A 12) subconical, longer than preceding clavomere; A 1 long, cylindrical, unarmed apically; male antenna 14 ­ segmented, relatively short and strong; A 3 and A 4 distinctly separated, A 4 not sexually modified, A 4 – A 13 distally knotted with one row of verticillate bristles, antennomeres relatively short and robust; A 7 – A 12 without specialized brushes. MESOSOMA. Mesosoma robust, about as wide as high; pronotum in dorsal view moderately developed, pronotal shoulders not developed; sides of pron­ otum without epomium, generally with massive hairy cushion anterodorsally, cushion rarely rudimentary; propleuron with cushion or scattered hairs; mesoscutum as long as wide, parapsidal and anterior parallel, lines at most rudimentary, rarely anterior parallel lines strongly developed; anterior scutellar pit large, rather deep, slightly transverse, sometimes with fine longitudinal keels on bottom, only slightly smaller than scutellar disc; scutellar disc moderately convex, at most with moderate longitudinal keel, lateral keels at most moderately developed; axilla smaller than scutellar pit; posterior margin of axilla moderately rounded; axillar depression relatively large but shallow, glabrous or with dense fine hairs; mesopleuron moderately convex, oblique horizontal line rudimentary; dorsellum well developed, with three keels; metapleuron coarsely rugulose, often densely hairy; propodeum strongly developed, rather long, roughly rugulose, median keel only moderately produced anteriorly, rarely keel more raised but not pointed or curved backward, posterolateral corners of propodeum strongly raised, posterior margin deeply excavate medially, plica indistinct; forewing moderately long, slightly glassy, stigmal vein moderately developed; legs with long, straight, sparse, light setae, setae distinctly truncate apically; tarsi moderately compressed. METASOMA. Petiole robust, slightly elongate, almost quadrate, cylindrical, with longitudinal rugulosity, entire surface with abundant appressed pilosity; metasoma past petiole in dorsal view broadly spindlelike, pointed apically in female, with sparse specialized setae; metasoma in lateral view only slightly convex, more convex ventrally; specialized spot on S 2 not visible, anterior margin of S 2 with narrow transparent rim. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Members of Szelenyiopria share the following character states: female antenna with massive, nonabrupt, spindlelike 3 ­ to 4 ­ segment­ ed clava, clavomeres distinctly flattened ventrally and the rough rugulose propodeum with strongly projecting posterolateral corners. The most important apomorphic feature of Szelenyiopria is the presence on entire body of specialized straight setae, truncate apically; similar setae occur in members of ecitophilic genus Mimopria. Szelenyiopria belongs to Acanthopria complex, as exemplified by structure of derived female antenna, however, the latter two genera differ in male antenna, A 3 fused with A 4 in Acanthopria and separated in Szelenyiopria. Females of Szelenyiopria share habitus of metasoma with Leucopria, but lack the specialized leucose spot at apex. Gymnopria is presently considered junior synonym of Szelenyiopria; we compared specimens identified by Loiácono (CNCI) with the holotype of Szelenyiopria reichenspergeri (Ferrière) (MNHG). Loiácono and Margaría (2000) described seven new species from Brazil; they prefer to recognize Gymnopria as an independent genus.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

Head in dorsal view slightly longer than wide, subhexagonal; temple straight but somewhat convergent posteriorly, temple behind eye slightly longer than length of eye, with small area of granular sculpture appearing as minute sharp points; antennal shelf small, not margined posteriorly, frons unarmed; at least posterior ocelli outside ocular zone; head in lateral view with level of torulus in lower half of eye; face as high as wide, with clypeus not clearly indicated, relatively small, subcircular; eye height shorter than half of head height, posterior orbit of eye straight, ommatidia large, highly convex, raspberry­like, eye considerably shorter than postgena, eye only slightly higher than malar space; head in frontal view mandible bidentate, lower tooth sharp and much longer than upper tooth; palpal formula 3 – 2, palpi short; oral carina fine; head in ventral view with hypostomal bridge well developed; occipital flange absent; antenna 11 ­ segmented without differentiated clava, with A 4 to A 10 subquadratic, closely approximated, antennomeres progressively enlarged, A 11 largest. MESOSOMA. Mesosoma higher than wide; pronotal shoulders distinctly prominent, rounded, with delicate granular sculpture; mesoscutum elongate, in lateral view only moderately convex, without anterior parallel and parapsidal lines; anterior scutellar pit moderate, shorter than scutellar disc, subrectangular, rather shallow; scutellar disc subquadratic, moderately convex, without median longitudinal keel, with lateral keels moderately developed; posterior margin of axilla roundly sloping down, axillar depression small but deep; mesopleuron rather flat, with median oblique line well developed; dorsellum weakly developed, with three longitudinal keels; metapleuron almost smooth, with delicate microsculpture; propodeum short, with sharp prominent median keel and with prominent bladelike laminae posterolaterally; plica moderately developed; forewing primarily developed, elongate, not infuscate, submarginal vein short, slightly exceeding basal one­fourth and closely paralleling front margin of wing, basal vein not indicated; legs relatively long and strong, femur medially incrassate, tibia cylindrical, with long and abundant pilosity, tarsi distinctly compressed, much higher than wide, hind coxa rather large, broadest in basal third, gradually tapering to apex; apex of anterior tibia without specialized spine dorsally. METASOMA.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Huggert and Masner (1983) compared Townesella with Myrmecopria mainly because of shared cephalic characters such as elongate head, long temples, and ocellar triangle outside ocular zone. Townesella can be easily distinguished from Myrmecopria by temples converging toward occiput, with head broadest across eyes, frons unarmed, antennal shelf unmargined posteriorly, and by presence of bladelike laminae posterolaterally on propodeum. Unlike in Myrmecopria pronotal shoulders are angularly protruding and tibial apices are not projecting in Townesella. General sculpture of body of Townesella is smooth, compared with rugulose body of Myrmecopria.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Trichopria is no doubt the largest genus of the Diapriinae in the New World. The polytypic nature of this genus precludes definition other than by combination of character states (see Diagnosis above). Sundholm (1960) discussed the status of Trichopria and related genera. In the Neotropical region Trichopria is conveniently distinguished from Acanthopria by presence of a specialized spine on the foretibia, as well as by subspherical (nonrectangular) clavomeres in female antenna and A 3 and A 4 in male antenna clearly separated. Trichopria, s. l., is separated from Diapria rather arbitrarily by the shape of the anterior margin of syntergite and by differences in the structure of female clava. The Nearctic genera Auxopaedeutes and Bruesopria are considered at this moment as specialized derivatives of Trichopria. The Nearctic species of Trichopria are predominantly dark colored in comparison with generally light­colored Neotropical species.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FF970862AAE3F289FD3CFF38.taxon	description	DESCRIPTION (♀): HEAD. Head subglobular, frons unarmed, antennal shelf moderate, not margined posteriorly, antennal shelf only moderately protruding, level of torulus approximately in lower half of eye; eye relatively large, ovoid, with posterior orbit not sinuate; ocelli relatively small, ommatidia rather large, highly convex, raspberry­like, ommatidium only slightly smaller than ocellus; oral carina not developed, postgenal cushion not developed; occipital flange rudimentary; face in profile straight, almost perpendicular to frons; clypeus rather protruding, deep, broad cleft between clypeus and upper margin of mandible; epistomal and malar sulcus shallow and tentorial pit not developed; hypostomal bridge well developed; palpal formula 4 – 2; antenna 11 ­ segmented, with nonabrupt 5 – 6 ­ segmented clava, clavomeres subrectangular, with narrow gaps, A 11 larger than A 10, A 1 cylindrical, unarmed apically. MESOSOMA. Pronotum in dorsal view moderately developed, pronotal shoulder absent, side of pronotum almost flat, epomium not developed, shoulder region with massive patch of foamy structures; propleuron with scattered foamy structures; mesoscutum as long as wide, only moderately convex, slightly depressed medially, without sulci or lines; anterior scutellar pit shallow, slightly transverse, without ridges; scutellar disc pillow shape, convex, median and lateral keels not developed; posterior margin of axilla weakly carinate; axillar depression with abundant foamy structures and same appressed pilosity; mesopleuron rather flat, with distinct oblique submedian line; sternaulus not developed; dorsellum moderately developed; keels weakly developed, metapleuron entirely covered with appressed short silvery pilosity; metasternum with foamy structures; propodeum moderately long, median keel produced anteriorly into blunt projection turned backward; plica partly developed, area between plica and keel with dense appressed pilosity; posterior margin of propodeum only moderately excised, rather rimlike­projecting; forewing with only minute microtrichia on disc, marginal cilia entirely absent, submarginal vein moderately upcurved, stigmal vein strongly developed, basal vein not developed; legs rather short and stout, tarsi not compressed. METASOMA. Petiole very short, slightly transverse, cylindrical, with dense fine pilosity, without longitudinal keels; metasoma past petiole only slightly convex; syntergite rather broad anteriorly, smooth, shining, almost glabrous; S 2 anteriorly without specialized spot. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Among the Neotropical genera with 11 ­ segmented female antenna Xanthopria is recognized by two apomorphies: the deep cleft between clypeus and mandibles and the absence of marginal cilia in forewing. The intense sculpture on head and mesosoma also appears diagnostic for the genus. Brues (1915) described two species, X. opaca (type species) and X. nitida; after examination of the types (MCZC) we decided to transfer X. nitida to Acanthopria (new combination). Xanthopria is interpreted as specialized derivative of Acanthopria. MALE: Unknown.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Within the Diapriinae, Calogalesus is considerably isolated taxonomically; however, it is related to the tribe Psilini because of some cephalic character states (e. g., development of labrum, mandible, armature of frons, etc.), but cannot be satisfactorily placed here. The venation of the forewing as well as the structure of the metasoma in general (syntergite, i. e., T 2 + T 3) make the genus very distinct. Kieffer (1911) wrongly stated the notaulus absent in Calogalesus, an error corrected by Masner (1965). The above diagnosis and description of the genus is focused on the New World species and is not applicable to some exotic species.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FF8B0865A823F721FC13FA2E.taxon	materials_examined	TYPE SPECIES: Peckidium enigmaticum, new species (♀) (described below), by present designation. RECOGNITION AND RELATIONSHIPS: Peckidium is no doubt the most unusual member of the family Diapriidae. Several character states (e. g., position of ocelli, long pronotum, venation of forewing, short trapezoidal T 2) are truly unique not only for the Diapriinae but for the entire family Diapriidae. Therefore, the classification of Peckidium in the Diapriinae is considered as a tentative compromise.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FF8B0865A823F721FC13FA2E.taxon	etymology	ETYMOLOGY: The name of this unusual genus honors Dr. S. B. Peck (Carleton University, Ottawa), who collected the first individuals of P. enigmaticum, and over the years contributed generously with rich entomological material to the Canadian National Collection of Insects. The suffix idium is stressing the diminutive nature of this tiny wasp; the gender is neuter.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

4F1587A1FF8B0865A823F721FC13FA2E.taxon	distribution	DISTRIBUTION: The only known species, P. enigmaticum, may very well be tropicopolitan in distribution; the present known distribution indicates possible relict characters of the genus. We examined numerous specimens from tropical South and Central America (including the Antilles), the Guinea of West Africa, the Philippines (Leyte), and Papua New Guinea (New Britain).	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

HEAD. Head in dorsal view slightly longer than wide (23: 19); vertex and occiput smooth, shining, with few scattered setigerous punctures; median longitudinal sulcus on occiput reaching midway to posterior ocelli; temple slightly longer than eye (7: 6), distinctly receding toward occipital carina; toruli separated by space subequal to their diameter; anterior ocellus remote from torulus by less than its own diameter; head in lateral view distinctly longer than high (23: 12); eye height: malar space (9: 5); head in frontal view with space between toruli only slightly emarginate, face smooth, shining, with scattered fine pilosity; antennal segments in relative proportions (12: 3), (4: 2.5), (2: 2.5), (1.5: 2), (1: 2), (1: 2), (1: 2), (1.5: 2.5), (2: 3), (3: 4), (3.5: 4.5), (4: 4.5), (4.5: 4.5), (6: 4.5). MESO­ SOMA. Mesosoma longer than wide (35: 22); pronotum medially (including cervix) only slightly shorter than mesoscutum (7: 10), with median line finely crenulate; side of pronotum predominantly smooth; mesoscutum strongly transverse, smooth and shining, almost glabrous, distinctly wider than long (18: 10); notaulus widest anteriorly, gradually tapering posteriorly, not exceeding midpoint of mesoscutum; axilla relatively large, subtriangular, scutellar disc smooth, shining, almost glabrous; plica complete, represented by irregular rugulose carina; forewing with longest marginal cilia subequal to wing width. METASOMA. Petiole moderately elongate (14: 5.5); T 2 (abdominal T 3) narrow, trapezoidal, transverse, wider than long (15: 2.5); T 3 (abdominal T 4) very large, as long as wide (25: 25), with scattered semiappressed hairs, predominantly at sides and along pos­ terior margin; T 5 and following tergites with long semierect hairs; cercus very small, with two long bristles. MALE: Recently the junior author collected three males that obviously belonged to Peckidium. However, at this time we prefer not to assign these males to P. enigmaticum. Surprisingly, the antenna is 12 ­ segmented in two males and 13 ­ segmented in another male.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.

Among the 26 specimens examined, the body size varies from 1 to 1.1 mm. Some specimens are slightly darker (castaneous brown) than the holotype. The median longitudinal sulcus on occiput may be longer or shorter and the median longitudinal sulcus on pronotum may be less developed in some individuals. The length of notaulus is also subject to minor variation.	en	MASNER, LUBOMÍR, GARCÍA R, JOSÉ LUIS (2002): The Genera Of Diapriinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) In The New World.
