Psilophrys Mayr 1876, p 727 View in CoL .
Type species: Encyrtus longicornis Walker , by original designation.
Diagnosis
Body dark brown with metallic reflections. Head 1.7–2.0× as wide as frontovertex; ocelli forming obtuse angle; maxillary and labial palpi four- and three-segmented respectively; mandible with one tooth and a truncation; antenna inserted near mouth margin; scape cylindrical; funicle six-segmented, segments gradually increasing in width distally and all segments longer than wide; pedicel at most 1.7× as long as F1. Fore wing usually infuscate around marginal and stigmal veins, rarely entirely hyaline; postmarginal vein not longer than stigmal vein; marginal vein longer than wide. Ovipositor hardly exserted; third valvula freely articulated with second valvifer.
Comments
The genus Psilophrys is most similar to Aphycoides , species of both taxa being of generally similar habitus, having similar venation and the cercal plates situated near the apex of the gaster. It is likely that with further study the two genera will be considered synonymous, but for the present Psilophrys can be separated from Aphycoides by the mandibles having only one tooth and a truncation, and the flagellum generally relatively longer and more slender, with the pedicel at most only 1.7× as long as F1, and all funicle segments longer than wide. In Aphycoides the mandible has two teeth and a truncation and the pedicel is at least 2× as long as F1, and the funicle has at least F6 transverse.
