Pteromalini

Termolampini Bouček, 1961 new synonymy. Type genus: Termolampa Bouček, 1961.

Discussion.

The previously recognized tribe Termolampini new syn. is abolished here, because it can only be distinguished from other Pteromalini using features that define the genus, and because it seems to be a derived genus within Pteromalini , instead of the sister group of another tribe or set of tribes in Pteromalinae . To resolve previous confusion, Boucekina Szelényi new placement and Morodora Gahan new placement belong here according to their morphological resemblance to other Pteromalini , respectively Neanica Erdős and Perniphora Ruschka. The complete list of genera of Pteromalini are listed in Appendix I, based on molecules and/or morphology. At present the tribe is not diagnosed, because it is the remainder of Pteromalinae excluding Otitesellini . The vast remaining number of genera in Pteromalini makes it unwieldy, and future analysis will be needed to break it up into useful natural tribes that can be more easily diagnosed.
