A Revision of the Genus Aclitus Förster (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae).

Abstract

In this paper the revision of the genus Aclitus Förster is given. This genus was redescribed from the female-holotype of Aclitus obscuripennis Förster (designated as genotype by Förster in 1862). It was stated that other known species included in the genus Aclitus up to now do not belong in the quoted genus: A. hedini (Fahringer) was synonymized with Myiocephalus boops (Wesmael) (n. syn.); A. nawaii Ashmead is considered to be the species of another genus, probably closely related to Protaphidius Ashmead (sensu Stary, 1958).
