Genus Indodynerus Gusenleitner, 2008

Indodynerus Gusenleitner, 2008 , Linz. Biol. Beitr. 40(2): 1495, 1500.

Type species: Indodynerus capitatus Gusenleitner, 2008 , by monotypy.

Comparative notes. This genus is very similar to the genus Anterhynchium Saussure, 1863 , but it differs from the latter in the following characters: its clypeus has a different shape, anteriorly widely truncated, only slightly emarginated (anteriorly narrowly truncated and deeply emarginated in Anterhynchium ); sides of propodeum without serration or teeth (sides of propodeum with serration or teeth in Anterhynchium ); epicnemial carina absent (epicnemial carina present in Anterhynchium ) ( Gusenleitner, 2008). This genus is also similar to Malayepipona Giordani Soika, 1993 , but can be separated from Malayepipona by the combination of the following characters: first metasomal tergum in dorsal view round basally, as wide as the second tergum (first metasomal tergum in dorsal view truncate basally, about two thirds as wide as the second tergum in Malayepipona ); tegula two thirds as long as wide (tegula more than twice as long as wide in Malayepipona ); parategula large, long, reaching or even surpassing the apex of the tegula (parategula small, short, not reaching the apex of the tegula in Malayepipona ).
