03D587F3FFF0D304FDB9D366FA9A96F0.taxon	discussion	Taxonomic comments Bouček (1988: 235) separated females of Ezgia (= Cairnsia) from females of Habritella (males previously unknown for both genera) as follows: “ [...] Clava with asymmetrically placed awl-like spicula [...]; gastral tergites normal, dorsally collapsing, the third not larger than the fourth tergite … [...] Cairnsia gen. n. – Clava normal, without spicula [...]; third tergite in female convex and greatly enlarged [...] so that it covers more than a third of gastral surface, margin of second tergite deeply excised in middle but the first angulately produced … [...] Habritella Girault & Dodd ”. In Table 1 the previously described species of Ezgia and Habritella, as well as the newly described species are compared regarding the characters listed above. Table 1 shows these characters are not constant within the two genera and are grouped in various combinations within the six known species. Moreover, many other morphological features are shared by all these species and are rather uniform: the shape of clypeus (except in H. mandibulata sp. nov.); the level of toruli; the antennal formula and shape of funiculars; the shape of propodeum; the venation; and the general shape of metasoma. At the same time, the claval spicula present in the females of Ezgia stylifera (Bouček 1988: 486, fig. 735) and H. mandibulata (Fig. 2 G) is much more developed than the small terminal process found in the males of H. africana sp. nov., H. mandibulata and H. noyesi sp. nov. The latter structure is somewhat similar to the ‘ terminal button’ which is commonly found in many pteromalids. However, in these species this structure is more developed and narrower than a typical ‘ terminal button’. As it is practically impossible to separate the above mentioned six species in two distinct genera due to the overlap of characters, Ezgia is regarded as a synonym of Habritella, syn. nov., and consequently its only species is transferred to the latter genus as Habritella stylifera comb. nov.	en	Mitroiu, Mircea-Dan (2022): The Afrotropical species of Habritella Girault & Dodd (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae).
