Taxonomic notes.
In the course of this work, we came to the conclusion that
Tapinopterus rebellis
s.l.
is not closely related to the known species of
Molopsis
, which form a distinct monophyletic complex. Diagnostic features that distinguish these groups of
Tapinopterus
are: 1/ general shape of the pronotum; 2/ length of the antennae; 3/ puncturation of the abdominal sterna; 4/ setation of the hind coxa; 5/ structure of the aedeagus; 6/ structure of the ovipositor. Our results were confirmed by the subsequent study of Italian authors and species of
Tapinopterus rebellis
s.l.
will be placed to the new genus
Pseudomolopsis
(Giachino
et al
, in press).
