“…The presence of three distal hamuli is common within the Bethylidae (e.g., Scleroderminae: [35]; Laelius: [39]; Afrobethylus Ramos and Azevedo, 2016: [40]; Mesitiinae: [41]). The presence of proximal hamuli, and moreover in a group of three, is less frequent [42,43], reported only for three species, one in the Mesitiinae, i.e., Hadesmesitius simplicitus (Barbosa and Azevedo, 2011), and two in the Pristocerinae, i.e., Apenesia sahyadrica Azevedo and Waichert, 2006 [41] and Pseudisobrachium somaliense Benoit, 1957 (M. Brazidec pers. obs.).…”
