Description

Asaphesinae: taxonomic changes

The type specimen of Desantisiana jujuyensis Neder de Román, described in Asaphinae (Neder de Román 1999), was examined and found to belong to Notoglyptus Masi, which is classified in the tribe Sphegigastrini of Pteromalidae sensu stricto. Because D. jujuyensis is the type and only species of Desantisiana n. syn., this name becomes a junior synonym of Notoglyptus. We suggest that comparison of Notoglyptus jujuyensis (Neder de Román) n. comb. with Neotropical species described by Heydon (1989) may result in synonymy of the species.
