Coccygidium de Saussure, 1892

Notes.

Prior to Sharkey et al (2009) the Old World species were included in the New World genus Zelomorpha Ashmead, 1900 or the Old World genus Coccygidium de Saussure, 1892. Most Oriental species belong to the Zelodia gen. n., but some Oriental species and most species in the Afrotropical and Australian regions belong here. Including Disophrys concolor Szépligeti, 1908 from Sundaland and possibly Sri Lanka; the type species of the genus Amputostypos Sharkey, 2009. The lectotype of Disophrys concolor (designated by van Achterberg 1974) has been examined and it has the fore spur with a long curved and glabrous apical spine as figured in the key (a) for Coccygidium . Therefore, Amputostypos Sharkey is synonymised with Coccygidium de Saussure (syn. n.). From the north-eastern Oriental region only two species of Coccygidium de Saussure are known: Coccygidium sissoo (Wilkinson, 1929) comb. n.[a senior synonym of Zelomorpha amplarga Gupta & Bhat, 1972, synonymy according to Bhat (1978)] and Coccygidium angostura (Bhat & Gupta, 1977). In Vietnam only the last species was found.
