Unveiling Kieffer's concept of Rhabdepyris pallidipennis Kieffer, 1906 (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae)

Rhabdepyris pallidipennis Kieffer, 1906 (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae) is revised. In this study the species is re-examined, and its morphological and distributional patterns are discussed based on the original description. We propose to downgrade Trichotepyris syn. nov. to a junior subjective synonym of Rysepyris Kieffer, 1906, resulting in the new combination Rysepyris pallidipennis (Kieffer, 1906) comb. nov.
