Genus Pterocryptus Szépligeti, 1916 View in CoL View at ENA

Pterocryptus Szépligeti, 1916: 250 View in CoL . Type species: Pterocryptus niger Szépligeti, 1916 View in CoL . Monobasic.

In Japan, a single species, P. uchidai (Momoi, 1963) View in CoL has been recorded. I examined the holotype and additional specimens of Torbda takachihoensis Momoi, 1966 View in CoL , and concluded that this species should be transferred from Torbda View in CoL to Pterocryptus View in CoL . The character states of this species are completely accorded with the generic character states of Pterocryptus View in CoL proposed by Townes (1970) and Gupta & Gupta (1983), e.g., pleural carina of propodeum present between anterior transverse carina and hind coxa ( Fig. 2B View Fig ) (absent in Torbda View in CoL ) and T1 without a pair of triangular teeth at base ( Fig. 2G View Fig ). In this study, I transferred generic position of this species below.
