Remarks

Illidops perseveratus is one of the species which challenge our concept of Illidops with its smooth propodeum and entirely polished posterior smooth band of the scutellum: “Hind polished part of axilla reaching up to middle of scutellum.” (Papp 1977: 253). However, it has a very short fore wing vein R1 and based on the information available to us we could not place it unambiguously within any other genus.
