A new genus Eopriocnemis Loktionov et Lelej, gen. n. (type species E. albiflagellata Loktionov et Lelej, sp. n.) is described and illustrated from China (Hainan). The new genus belongs to the tribe Priocnemini of the subfamily Pepsinae and is closely related to Priocnemis Schiødte, Ctenopriocnemis Ishikawa and Clistoderes Banks, but easily distinguishes from them by the venation of the fore wing and shape of axilla. Key to the genera of the tribe Priocnemini is given.
André, Mickelomyrme exiloides (Magretti) are newly recorded from China. Two new combinations are proposed for Mickelomyrme chinensis (Smith, 1855), comb. n. and Promecilla levinaris (Chen, 1957), comb. n. (both are from the genus Smicromyrme Thomson). The specific status of Orientilla chinensis (Zavattari, 1922) is resurrected from the synonyms. A new synonymy is proposed: Mickelomyrme chinensis (Smith, 1855) = Mutilla exacta Smith, 1879, syn. n.; Orientilla chinensis (Zavattari, 1922) = Stenomutilla tausignata Chen, 1957, syn. n. The mutillid fauna of China numbers 165 species in 34 genera, including current data.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
