Genus Odontomyrme Lelej, 1983

Odontomyrme Lelej, 1983: 613 , ♀; Brothers & Lelej, 2017: 59 , 94, ♀ ♂; Brothers et al.,

2019: 582, ♀ ♂; Pagliano et al., 2020: 75, fig. 103, ♀.

Type-species Odontomyrme tobiasi Lelej, 1983 (female), by original designa-

tion. The male of the type species has not been recognized; the presumed males of the other species were associated by Brothers & Lelej (2017) based on the specimens collected in copula.

DIIAGNOSIS (based on Brothers & Lelej, 2017 ). FEMALE. Head rounded,

narrower than mesonotum. Eyes oval, moderately convex with distinct ommatidia.

Antennal scrobe with sinuate dorsal carina almost reaching eye. Antenna dorsally broadened medially; flagellomere 1 shorter or slightly longer than pedicel, other flagellomeres shorter than their width. Mesosoma with protruding mesopleuron;

mesonotum considerably wider than propodeum. Humeral and propodeal angles usually toothed; scutellar scale lacking. Metasoma sub-cylindrical, segment 1 slightly narrower than second one; T1 with differentiated anterior and dorsal surfaces; T2

long, laterally weakly arcuate, basolaterally with felt line. Pygidial area developed.

MALE. Scape with two equally well developed ventral ridges; pedicel about as long as wide and about as long as flagellomere 1. Pro-mesonotal suture abruptly V-

shaped (laterally straight, mesally angled). Tegula slightly elongate, posteriorly reaching trans-scutal articulation or slightly beyond; T1 gradually broadened posteriorly, more or equal 0.5 × length T2, apically constricted from T2; lateral felt

and two subspecies: O. tobiasi Lelej, 1983 ; O. gilberti (André, 1898), O. difficilis

(André, 1901), O. abjecta (André, 1901), O. addenda addenda (André, 1901), O.

addenda ferrugineipes (André, 1903), O. addenda rufocincta (André, 1903), and O.

sessilis (André, 1901). One new species from New Guinea described below.

REMARKS. Originally the genus Odontomyrme Lelej, 1983 was described in the tribe Odontomutillini Lelej, 1983 of the subfamily Dasylabrinae Invrea, 1964 ;

later ( Lelej & Nemkov, 1997) this tribe was placed in the subfamily Ephutinae Ashmead, 1903 but in last classification (Brothers & Lelej, 2017 ) Odontomyrme is placed in the tribe Dasymutillini Brothers et Lelej, 2017 of the subfamily Sphaeropthalminae Schuster, 1949 . This genus is required the revision because real number of the species is much more, some of them are still undescribed, another ones are included in the unrevised Australian genus Ephutomorpha André, 1902 .
