The validity of Hexacharis Kieffer with taxonomic notes on Anacharitinae genera (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae) Author Restrepo, Claudia X.

Revised status. Type species: Hexacharis flavipes Kieffer, 1907 , by monotypy. Synonymized with Aegilips ( Diaz, 1986 ) . Diagnosis. Body length: 2.5 to 2.7 mm . Head and mesosoma black, metasoma and antennae dark brown. Body smooth and shiny. Head in anterior view triangular-shaped, ocelli arranged in small arc, face densely setose. Male antenna with 14 flagellomeres, the third modified; female has 13 flagellomeres. Pronotum truncate, lean anteriorly, does not reach above the height of mesonotum. Mesopleuron smooth and shiny, sometimes slightly or strongly carinate in the middle or with a groove. Scutum and scutellum smooth and shiny, notaulus incomplete, scutellar foveae not defined. Propodeum sculpture with two distinct lateral carinae. Near to Anacharis and Aegilips , the main difference being the scutellar foveae which are not defined; moreover Aegilips differs in the scutellar shape and scutellar sculpture, rounded and completely smooth on Hexacharis . It is also close to Calofigites but Hexacharis has the propodeum with two parallel lateral carinae and coriaceous malar area (propodeum without this lateral carinae and smooth malar area in Calofigites ). Finally, Hexacharis differs from all Anacharitinae genera because it is the only genus with flagellomere 3 modified in males.
