Notes on
Alysdacnusa
and
Tobiasnusa
(by CvA).
Alysdacnusa
Tobias & Perepetchayenko, 1995
(
type
species:
Alysdacnusa breviventris
Tobias & Perepetchayenko, 1995
) and
Tobiasnusa
Papp, 2004
, (
syn. n.
; their
type
species differs mainly by having the metasoma shorter (
A. breviventris
) or longer (
A. atomus
) than the mesosoma) are superficially similar to
Exodontiella
Wharton. The Palaearctic
Alysdacnusa
has also the marginal cell of the fore wing reduced (
Fig. 122
) as in the Nearctic
Exodontiella
and both have exodont mandibles, both occur in semi-arid habitats and share small body size, minute second tooth of mandible and short antenna. However, both genera are not closely related and belong to different subfamilies (
Exondontiella
in the
Gnamptodontinae
and
Alysdacnusa
in the
Alysiinae
). They differ as follows: malar space long, without convex area (
Fig. 113
) vs malar space short, with small convex area above base of mandible in
Alysdacnusa
(
Fig. 123
); upper lobe of mandible small (
Fig. 119
) vs upper lobe of mandible large (
Fig. 128
); temple mediumsized (
Fig. 112
) vs temple enlarged (
Fig. 126
) in dorsal view; marginal cell of fore wing very narrow (
Fig. 111
) vs comparatively large (
Fig. 122
) and second and third metasomal tergites indistinctly sculptured (
Fig. 121
) vs smooth (
Fig. 131
).
In addition,
Alysdacnusa atomus
(Papp, 2004)
comb. n.
from
Mongolia
) has vein M+CU of the hind wing about as long as 1-M (longer in
A. breviventris
), the propodeum without small tubercle (present), the ovipositor sheath as long as first and second hind tarsal segments combined (0.7 ×), the antenna with 13–14 segments (15–17 segments), vein r of the fore wing issued from middle of pterostigma (slightly before middle) and the first tergite slightly more widened apically (slightly less).
