According to Townes et al . (1965) , Jezarotes is distinguished from other genera of Acaenitinae by the combination of the following character states: clypeus with a preapical ridge, hind tarsal claws simple, the median lobe of mesoscutum strongly projecting forward ( Fig. 1 ), and the upper tooth of mandible much smaller than lower tooth ( Fig. 9 ). Distribution . Eastern Palearctic and Oriental regions. Remarks . Three Oriental species, J. yanensis Sheng & Sun, 2013 from South China , J. apicalis (Sonan, 1936) from Taiwan and J. mitai sp. nov. from Laos , are distinct from the Palearctic species in the hind femur without a blunt ventral tooth.
