Bradepyris validithorax ( Duchaussoy, 1916) comb. nov.

This species is recorded from Morocco. Its type, however, is lost so we couldn’t examine it. Only a few characters were found in the literature: female: body with surface polished, sparsely punctate; head with malar space narrower than vertex-ocellar line and parallel; frons with longitudinal sulcus present; ocelli very small; pronotum longer than mesonotum; mesoscutum with parapsidal signum hardly distinct; notaulus well impressed; propodeum with central depression developed, sublateral carina present, posterior spine hardly distinct; brachypterous; mesotibia with distal spines; metasoma with tergites polished; male: body with surface polished, sparsely punctate; head as long as wide; antenna longer than head and mesosoma together; frons with longitudinal sulcus weakly impressed; ocelli very small; frontal angle of ocellar triangle right; mesosoma with pronotum shorter than mesonotum; mesoscutum longer than mesoscutellum; propodeum with central depression developed, sublateral carina present; mesopleuron with posterior oblique sulcus distinct; macropterous; metasoma with tergites polished; hypopygium longer than wide, posterior margin unilobate.
