Masnerosema is a new junior synonym of Acanopsilus (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae: Pantolytini)
V.G. Chemyreva
Abstract. The monotypic African genus Masnerosema Sundholm, 1970 is revised. This generic name is recognised as synonymous to Acanopsilus Kieffer, 1908. The new combination Acanopsilus africanus (Sundholm, 1970), comb. nov. is established. The male of A. africanus is described for the first time. New data on the distribution and detailed illustrations of the species, and an updated diagnosis of the tribe Pantolytini are provided.
