Pycnomesitius Moczar, 1971

Remarks.

This genus is characterized by the head as long as wide, the anteromesoscutum without median mesonotal line, the posterior propodeal projection short, and the metasomal tergum II densely punctured ( Azevedo et al. 2018). However, it was found to be polyphyletic (Figs 4 - 6 ). In order to solve this problem, Sulcomesitius wahisi Móczár, 1984 is herein transferred from Sulcomesitius to Pycnomesitius , P. wahisi ( Móczár, 1984) comb. nov.
