038387C4C735FFE2FFD2CA350C5399A8.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Although Sheng & Sun (2014) compared this genus with Alloplasta Förster, 1869, the character states of this genus are nearer Diradops Townes, 1946 and Cryptopimpla Taschenberg, 1863 than Alloplasta. This genus can be distinguished from other Asian Atrophine genera by the following key. In this key, I referred to Townes (1970), Chandra & Gupta (1977), Gauld et al. (2002), Watanabe & Maeto (2012), Sheng & Sun (2014), Sheng et al. (2018) and Sheng & Jennings (2019).	en	Watanabe, Kyohei (2020): Notes on the genus Pellis Sheng & Sun, 2014 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae Banchinae), with a new record from Japan.
