Remarks:
Bathanthidium atriceps
has been put into the subgenus
Bathanthidium
s. str.
in past (
Wu, 2006
, Niu,
et al
., 2012,
Ascher & Pickering, 2017
), but the fovea behind propodeal spiracle elongate, weakly delimited, without strong carina (
Fig. 3d
), and basal zone of propodeum not distinct (
Fig. 3e
), and T6 of male with elevated median section and concave lateral section (
Fig.
3i
), all these characters indicate it should be transferred to the subgenus
Manthidium
.
