Treatment

Antarctopria coelopae Early, 1978: 209 , 210, figs 1-9.

Valid name

Spilomicrus coelopae (Early, 1978) comb. nov.

Summary of types

Paratypes 12 ♀♀, 17 ♂♂.

Remarks

An additional male from the Otago peninsula labelled as a paratype is not a type; specimens from this locality are listed under “other material” and so are not types. All current Antarctopria species, A. coelopae , A. campbellana Yoshimoto, 1964 , A. diomedeae Early, 1978 , A. latigaster Brues in Tillyard, 1920 and A. rekohua Early, 1978 appear to belong to a derived species group of Spilomicrus showing pronounced wing reduction and the associated suite of characters that go with it. Extra setae on the gastral tergites are found on wing-reduced representatives of a number of other diapriid genera and is not considered here a character of generic value. Consequently, these five Antarctopria species are transferred to Spilomicrus (new combinations), and since Antarctopria latigaster is the type species of Antarctopria , this genus is now a synonym of Spilomicrus syn. nov.
