Epimicta Foerster, 1862: 225 –288 (Type species: Alysia (Dacnusa) marginalis Haliday, 1839 ); Wharton, 1994: 633–635; Tobias, 1998: 312; Kula, 2005: 78–83.
Type species: Alysia (Dacnusa) marginalis Haliday, 1839 .
Diagnosis. Head short and transverse; antenna thick, third antennal segment longer than fourth segment; frons short; face punctuate; mandible broad, with four teeth, first tooth wide and obtuse, second tooth nearly equilateral triangle and pointed, third tooth lobe-shaped and round, fourth tooth small and located along ventral margin; pronotum with small pronope; notauli deep and crenulate; antescutellar depression deep, long and with several strongly longitudinally short carinae; precoxal sulcus complete, running along entire length of mesopleuron and crenulate-rugulose; metanotum with an well-developed dorsal flange; propodeum areolate rugose; metapleuron rugose to crenulate- rugose, setiferous (Fig. 5); vein r of fore wing arising basally midpoint of pterostigma, vein1- SR+M more or less weakly S-shaped, vein m-cu antefurcal; vein m-cu of hind wing absent; hind coxa relatively small; hind femur slender; claw simple; metasomal tergites mainly setose, second and usually part of third tergites sculptured (Fig.6).
Remarks: As noted by Nixon (1943), Griffiths (1964), Riegel (1982) and Wharton (1994) Epimicta Foerster is close to Trachionus Haliday. The most distinct difference between these two genera is that Trachionus has a more complete carapace-like metasoma.
Distribution. England, Finland, France, Germany, Hungary, Sweden, Czech Republic, Poland, Moldova, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland, Korea, China (Palaearctic, first record), Canada, U.S.A.
