Aniseres pallipes Förster, 1871

Aniseres spp. have glymmae on the first tergite and the notaulus is present (with a short vertical carina on its front side). Their first tergite is 1.5–2.2× as long as wide and the discoidella is present. Their ovipositor sheaths are 1.4–2.6× as long as their hind tibiae ( TOWNES, 1971).

The genus is rather small. A. pallipes has the scapi very close to each other and the clypeus is about 2.5x as wide as long, not protruding ( VAN ROSSEM, 1980). Like all Orthocentrinae , hosts are mainly fungus gnats ( Diptera : Mycetophilidae ) ( ŠEDIVÝ & ŠEVČIK, 2003; BROAD et al., 2018). First report for the Netherlands; unreported in Belgium.
