Subjective Synonym

The genus Thysanoptyx Hampson, 1894 is a member of the subtribe Lithosiina, tribe Lithosiini (Arctiinae). It was described as a monotypic genus for Lithosia tetragona Walker, 1854 from Silhet [Sylhet], [Bangladesh].Hampson (1900) treated Thysanoptyx as a synonym of Eilema Hübner. Daniel (1954) placed it under Lithosia Fabricius, whereas Birket-Smith (1965) treated it as a junior subjective synonym of Teulisna Walker. Later, Kishida (1993) considered Thysanoptyx Hampson as a valid genus. Fang (2000) reported four species from China: Thysanoptyx tetragona (Walker, 1854), T. fimbriata (Leech, 1890), T. signata (Walker, 1854), and T. brevimacula (Alphéraky, 1897). However, the male genitalia of T. tetragona figured by Fang (2000) belong to a probably new species (Singh, pers. obs.). Holloway (2001) considered four species, Thysanoptyx tetragona, T. oblonga (Butler, 1877), T. sordida (Butler, 1881), and T. incurvata Wileman & West, 1928 from Oriental region. Kirti & Singh (2015) described a new species, T. pseudotetragona Joshi, Singh & Kirti from South India (Kerala) and reported T. incurvata for the first time from India. However, the new reporting of T. incurvata seems to be incorrect (see the remark below). Recently, Volynkin & Dubatolov (2017) subdivided Thysanoptyx into five species groups: tetragona species group, oblonga species group, sordida species group, signata species group, and fimbriata species group, with the description of two new species: T. indosinica Volynkin & Dubatolov, 2017 from Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam and T. mirifica Volynkin & Dubatolov, 2017 from Vietnam. At present the genus comprises 10 valid species distributed from China, Taiwan to India and South East Asia.

Wasps of the genus Eustenogaster van der Vecht, 1969, with 17 species currently recognized, are distributed from the Indian subcontinent in the west to the Philippines, Sulawesi Island and Java Island in the east. Two new species of hover wasp genus Eustenogaster (E. multifolia sp. nov., E. sumatraensis sp. nov.) are described from specimens collected in Sumatra Island. The female of E. vietnamensis occurring in Vietnam are described for the first time. The lectotypes of Paravespa eva Bell, 1936 and Ischnogaster ornatifrons Cameron, 1902 are designated. The new taxonomic status is proposed for Stenogaster eximioides Dover and Rao, 1922 as a good (=valid) species of Eustenogaster. The synonymy of Ischnogaster ornatifrons Cameron, 1902 with Eustenogaster micans (de Saussure, 1852) has been confirmed. A revised key to species and a taxonomic and distributional checklist of all the species of Eustenogaster are provided.

In this paper, M. yanomami n. sp., from Brazilian Amazonia, Chaetacis bandeirante n. sp., from Central Brazil, and the males of M. gaujoni Simon, 1897 and M. ruschii (Mello-Leitão, 1945) n. comb. , respectively from Ecuador and Brazil, are described and illustrated for the first time. An ontogenetic series of the last development stages of both sexes of Micrathena excavata (C. L. Koch, 1836) is illustrated and briefly described. Adult females are larger and have longer legs and larger abdomens than adult males. Probably females undergo at least one additional moult before adulthood, compared to males. Micrathena ornata Mello-Leitão, 1932 is considered a junior synonym of M. plana (C. L. Koch, 1836), and M. mastonota Mello-Leitão 1940 is synonymized with M. horrida (Taczanowski, 1873). Acrosoma ruschii Mello-Leitão, 1945 is revalidated, transferred to Micrathena and considered a senior synonym of M. cicuta Gonzaga & Santos, 2004. Chaetacis necopinata (Chickering, 1960) is recorded for Brazil for the first time. Chaetacis incisa (Walckenaer, 1841) is considered a nomen dubium.
