Gnathochorisis laticincta
(
Cresson, 1868
)
comb. nov.
Tryphon laticinctus
Cresson, 1868
: 36
–37
Blapticus
laticinctus
(
Cresson, 1868
)
Townes & Townes 1966
The species was originally described as
Tryphon laticinctus
(
Cresson 1868
)
from the surroundings of Cordova (Córdoba), state
Veracruz
,
Mexico
, from a single female specimen stored in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (USA), and the male of this species is still unknown.
Townes & Townes (1966)
considered this species within the genus
Blapticus
Förster. As was mentioned above, the genus
Blapticus
was synonymized under
Symplecis
Förster (
Rossem 1981
)
, but although some Palaearctic
Blapticus
species were transferred to
Gnathochorisis
,
B.
laticinctus
was retained as a
Symplecis
species (
Yu
et al
. 2012
). According to the species description, it does not belong to the genus
Symplecis
. Such combination of characters as a long ovipositor equal to the length of the first metasomal segment, well developed propodeal carination forming distinct dorsolateral apophyses, and robust legs with swollen hind femora (
Cresson 1868
), are evidence that it is a representative of
Gnathochorisis
, and this species should obviously be considered there.
