Later, Huggert and Masner (1983) additionally noted that it may belong to the Nearctic genus Bruesopria Wing. This species was not mentioned again until 2002, when Masner and García wrote about it as a member of the genus Bruesopria, despite that no new combination had been suggested or justified. However, re-examination of the type specimen of this species and some other available Bruesopria specimens, as well as all known Lepidopria species, led us to the same conclusion: Lepidopria aberrans Brues should be considered a member of the genus Bruesopria, as it shares all the characters typical for Bruesopria species, as outlined in the comparative diagnosis of this genus above.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/E6087EE0159457FBA9B972C34FEEEC93	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Therefore, here we give only a short comparative diagnosis of this genus, emphasizing the diagnostic differences between it and the genus Lepidopria .</p><p>Comparative diagnosis.</p><p>Female antenna 11–12 - merous [only 12 - merous in Lepidopria], with abrupt 3 - merous clava [nonabrupt or 4 - merous clava in Lepidopria]; posterior margin of propodeum with deep semicircular excavation, median carina of propodeum rudimentary, posterolateral corner of propodeum angular and strongly projecting [same in Lepidopria to with median carina, without excavation of posterior margin and without posterolateral projection]; petiole strongly modified, remarkably higher than long in lateral view, with finger-like projection produced dorsally above anterior margin of T 2 (Fig. 1 C, D) [same in Lepidopria (Fig. 9 E) to as long as high in lateral view and not produce dorsally above T 2 (Fig. 2 C, D)]; base of S 2 bare, smooth, flat: not convex medially and not grooved laterally, with deep semicircular excavation of anterior margin (Fig. 1 A) [densely setose, with lateral grooves and convex medially, excavation of anterior margin not deep in Lepidopria (Fig. 1 B)].</p><p>Remarks.</p><p>This genus comprises only two described species from the New World (Wing 1951; Johnson 1992). Masner and García (2002) reported an undescribed species associated with Solenopsis sp. in Arizona. An undetermined species of Bruesopria (possibly B. aberrans) was found by Dr Alexander L. Wild in a colony of Solenopsis molesta (Say, 1836) at Konza Prairie in Kansas, USA (see Fig. 1 E, F). The biodiversity and morphological variability of the three closely related genera – Lepidopria, Bruesopria, and Solenopsia Wasmann, 1899 – have not yet been sufficiently studied and future discoveries may necessitate the synonymisation of these genera (Masner and García 2002). However, the diagnostic differences between Lepidopria and Bruesopria, as described above, are presently clear enough to maintain these taxa as valid. Furthermore, these genera have different distributions: all Lepidopria species are found in the Palaearctic region, whereas all Bruesopria species are found in the Nearctic region.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/7E009B626DC25457A2F07EADF2FDFE5F	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
