Erythmelus
(
Erythmelellus
)
Viggiani & Jesu, 1985: 487
.
Type
species:
Erythmelus lygivorus
Viggiani & Jesu, 1985
, by original designation.
Diagnosis
. Body length 370–1590 μm;
330–1170 in
Triapitsyn
et al
. (2007). Head in lateral view with gena short (
Fig. 396
) or absent (
Figs 388
,
389
,
403
) so head appearing thin and long; mandible (in both sexes) reduced to small stub, without teeth (
Fig. 406
); maxillae together in posterior view distinctly longer than wide (
Figs 402
); mesosoma in lateral view with dorsellum slightly overhanging propodeum (
Figs 396
,
408
); propodeum medially divided by a longitudinal sulcus (
Fig. 395
,
407
); gaster in lateral view with hypopygium long, extending posteriorly at least to apex of gaster (
Figs 388
,
389
,
398
,
413
).
Discussion
. Schauff (1984) related
Erythmelus
to
Anaphes
, based on the propodeum with a median longitudinal sulcus, but otherwise the two genera are structurally very different.
