Description

Syneuodynerus fritzi (Gusenleitner, 1997) comb. n. *

Material examined

IRAQ: Kurdistan, Duhok, 2 km NNE of Dihe, 1135 m, 37.149444°N 43.166944°E, 1–11 June 2024, 1 ♀ (MSVI).

Remarks

Gusenleitner (1997b) described the genus Intereuodynerus Gusenleitner, 1997 to include three species similar to the genus Syneuodynerus Blüthgen, 1951 but lacking the lamellar dorsal carinae of the propodeum. It should be noted, however, that the development of the propodeal carinae is a highly variable character within a genus, as is also observed in the related genus Euodynerus (Selis et al. 2024b), and comparison of the type species of Intereuodynerus, Intereuodynerus fritzi Gusenleitner, 1997, with various species of Syneuodynerus did not allow us to find any further differences beyond those of specific value. The genus Intereuodynerus syn. n. is therefore synonymised under Syneuodynerus.

Distribution

Turkey, Syria, Iraq * (Gusenleitner 2013a).
