Remarks.

Erdős (1946) described the species Anoglyphis transdanuviana Erdős from the Kőszegi Hills, West Hungary. Kerrich et Graham (1957) synonymized the genus Anoglyphis Förster, 1878 with Plutothrix Förster, 1856. As a result, A. transdanuviana was transferred to the genus Plutothrix . Subsequently, Graham (1969) suggested that A. transdanuviana might belong to Seladerma Walker, 1834. Examination of the types showed they belong to the species Seladerma antennatum (Walker) based on the following character states. Head 2.05 × as long as broad. Clypeal margin with asymmetric teeth. Funicular segments of antenna with one row of sensilla. Mesosoma with complete notauli. Fore wing with speculum, basal vein incomplete, PM longer than M. Propodeum 0.37 × as long as scutellum. Petiole transverse. Metasoma longer than mesosoma and head, 2.33 × as long as broad. Plutothrix transdanuviana ( Erdős, 1946) is thus hereby synonymized under Seladerma antennatum (Walker, 1833).
