Aneuclis Forster, 1869

Aneuclis Forster, 1869:147 . Type-species: ( Isurgus rufipes Szépligeti ) = maritimus Szépligeti.

The genus may be distinguished from other genera by the key and figures given by Khalaim (2004, 2018).

In Khalaim’s (2004) key to species, the new species can be inserted as follows (partly modified):

1. Second recurrent vein interstitial ( Fig. 10 ) or basal of rs-m. Antenna 16–17-antennomeres............................ 2

- Second recurrent vein postfurcal (Fig. 11).................................................................. 5

2. Width of pterostigma 1.3 × length of first radial abscissa. Ovipositor sheath 2.6 × as long as tergite I...... 10 A. mongolica

- Width of pterostigma equal to, or less than length of first radial abscissa.......................................... 3

3. Lower part of pronotum yellowish or partly reddish brown, distinctly differing in color from black mesosoma. Ovipositor sheath 2.5 × as long as tergite I......................................................................... 3’

- Lower part of pronotum black, of same color as rest of mesosoma............................................... 4

3’. Second recurrent vein interstitial or slightly distal of rs-m. Mesopleuron usually dark brown. Metasomal tergites with brown spots........................................................................... 11. A. rufipleuris Horstm.

- Second recurrent vein slightly basal of rs-m. Mesopleuron entirely black. Tergite I black, tergite II entirely reddish brown, three and subsequent tergites brownish black dorsally, reddish brown laterally........ A. flavopedes Sheng, Zhou & Wei , sp. nov.
