Gnathochorisis laticincta (Cresson, 1868) comb. nov.

Tryphon laticinctus Cresson, 1868: 36 –37

Blapticus laticinctus (Cresson, 1868) Townes & Townes 1966

The species was originally described as Tryphon laticinctus (Cresson 1868) from the surroundings of Cordova (Córdoba), state Veracruz, Mexico, from a single female specimen stored in the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia (USA), and the male of this species is still unknown. Townes & Townes (1966) considered this species within the genus Blapticus Förster. As was mentioned above, the genus Blapticus was synonymized under Symplecis Förster (Rossem 1981), but although some Palaearctic Blapticus species were transferred to Gnathochorisis, B. laticinctus was retained as a Symplecis species (Yu et al. 2012). According to the species description, it does not belong to the genus Symplecis . Such combination of characters as a long ovipositor equal to the length of the first metasomal segment, well developed propodeal carination forming distinct dorsolateral apophyses, and robust legs with swollen hind femora (Cresson 1868), are evidence that it is a representative of Gnathochorisis, and this species should obviously be considered there.
