The presence and distribution of two species of Notanisus Walker (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) in North America is reported. Notanisus sexramosus (Erdős), originally described from Hungary and previously reported from Maryland, USA, is recorded also from Massachusetts and Pennsylvania based on a male and macropterous and brachypterous females. Males of Notanisus are shown to have two types of flagellar structure, ramose and pedicellate, and diagnostic features are given for the previously unknown males of N. clavatus Bouček to differentiate these from those of N. sexramosus and N. versicolor Walker. Five other species are newly described, Notanisus kansensis n. sp. based on a female from Nebraska, USA, and four species from Sub-Saharan Africa and the Arabian Peninsula--Notanisus brevipetiolus n. sp. based on two females from Uganda and Zambia, Notanisus longipetiolus n. sp. based on a female from Zimbabwe and a female and two males from Mozambique, Notanisus vanharteni n. sp. based on a female and several males from United Arab Emirates, and Notanisus yemenensis n. sp. based on a female and male from Yemen. The latter five species are included with the Palaearctic species N. oulmesiensis (Delucchi) and N. gracilis (Yang) in the oulmesiensis species group, defined by the presence of reduced stigmal and postmarginal veins in both sexes. The seven oulmesiensis-group species are differentiated in a key and all treated species are illustrated through macrophotography. Monophyly and relationships of Notanisus within Cleonymini are discussed, including features that indicate it could be paraphyletic relative to Callocleonymus Masi.
报道了北美洲两种诺塔尼苏斯·沃克（膜翅目：金小蜂科）的存在及分布情况。六分支诺塔尼苏斯（厄尔多斯）最初描述于匈牙利，此前在美国马里兰州有过报道，现根据一只雄性以及有翅和短翅雌性标本记录到其在马萨诸塞州和宾夕法尼亚州也有分布。诺塔尼苏斯属的雄性被证明有两种鞭节结构类型，即分支状和具梗状，并给出了此前未知的棒状诺塔尼苏斯雄性的鉴别特征，以将其与六分支诺塔尼苏斯和杂色诺塔尼苏斯·沃克的雄性区分开来。另外新描述了五个物种，美国内布拉斯加州一只雌性标本确定的堪萨斯诺塔尼苏斯新种，以及来自撒哈拉以南非洲和阿拉伯半岛的四个物种——乌干达和赞比亚两只雌性标本确定的短柄诺塔尼苏斯新种，津巴布韦一只雌性以及莫桑比克一只雌性和两只雄性标本确定的长柄诺塔尼苏斯新种，阿拉伯联合酋长国一只雌性和几只雄性标本确定的范哈滕诺塔尼苏斯新种，也门一只雌性和一只雄性标本确定的也门诺塔尼苏斯新种。后五个物种与古北区的乌尔梅森诺塔尼苏斯（德卢基）和纤细诺塔尼苏斯（杨）一同被归入乌尔梅森尼斯物种组，该组的定义是两性均有退化的 stigma 脉和后缘脉。七个乌尔梅森尼斯组物种在检索表中得以区分，所有处理过的物种均通过微距摄影进行了展示。讨论了诺塔尼苏斯在 Cleonymini 族内的单系性及亲缘关系，包括表明其相对于马西氏 Callocleonymus 可能是并系的特征。
