Genus Microterys Thomson View in CoL View at ENA

Sceptrophorus F ӧrster, 1856: 34. Type species: Encyrtus sceptriger F ӧrster, by subsequent designation by Asheamd 1900: 381. Name rejected in favour of Microterys Thomson View in CoL by International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, 1978: 99–100.

Microterys Thomson, 1876: 155 View in CoL . Type species: Encyrtus sylvius Dalman View in CoL , by subsequent designation by Asheamd 1900: 390. Synonymy with Sceptrophorus implied by Ferrière 1955: 361.

Apentelicus Fullaway, 1913: 26 . Type species: Apentelicus kotinskyi Fullaway , by original designation and monotypy. Synonymy with Microterys View in CoL by Peck 1963: 386.

Paraphaenodiscoides Mercet, 1921: 378 . Type species: Paraphaenodiscoides dimorphus Mercet , by original designation and monotypy. Synonymy with Microterys View in CoL by Noyes 1981: 180.

Birous Erd ӧs and Novicky, 1955: 196. Type species: Birous anomalus Erd ӧs and Novicky , by original designation and monotypy. Synonymy with Microterys View in CoL by Trjapitzin 1989: 162.

Diagnoses of Microterys View in CoL have been given by Xu (2002), Zhang & Huang (2004) and Noyes (2010), and are not repeated here. Systematically, Microterys View in CoL is placed in the tribe Discodini (=Microteryini Hoffer and Microteryni Erd ӧs & Novicky), which was defined by Noyes (2010). Within Discodini , Microterys View in CoL is very close to Aschitus Mercet View in CoL and Trichomasthus Thomson View in CoL ( Jensen 1989; Noyes 2010). In addition, Submicroterys Xu ( Xu & Huang 2004) and Clivia Zhang & Huang (2005) View in CoL is also close to Microterys View in CoL . Presently we treat Microterys View in CoL and Submicroterys as distinct genera pending further systematic study, possibly with help of molecular data.
