The Pseudepipona herrichii-group includes species of the genus Pseudepipona de Saussure, 1856, subgenus Pseudepipona s. str., without long setae on the gena, the scutum, and the propleura, with the transverse carina of the propodeum forming laterally a tooth or at least a blunt angle, and with the preapical tooth of the male mandible of approximately equal width and length. Taxonomic revision of this group revealed the existence of six species: Pseudepipona aldrichi (Fox, 1892), stat. nov. (= P. herrichii mongolica Giordani Soika, 1970, syn. nov.), P. herrichii (de Saussure, 1856) (= P. herrichii afromontana Gusenleitner, 1977, syn. nov.), P. kozhevnikovi (Kostylev, 1927), P. tingjingliae Fateryga, sp. nov., P. tricarinata (Kokujev, 1913), and P. valentinae Fateryga, sp. nov. A complete diagnosis of the males and females of these species is provided, as is an identification key. Maps detailing the geographic distributions of each species are presented. The available data on their bionomics are also summarized.
拟叶蜂属的伪叶蜂组包括伪叶蜂属(Pseudepipona de Saussure, 1856),亚属伪叶蜂 s. str.,无长刚毛在侧颜、盾片和前胸,侧沟的背板形成侧面的齿或至少钝角,以及雄性下颚的前尖牙大约等宽和等长。对该组的分类修订揭示了六种物种的存在:Aldrichi 拟叶蜂(Fox,1892),新种(= Mongolian 伪叶蜂(Giordani Soika,1970),新异名),伪叶蜂(de Saussure,1856)(= African 伪叶蜂(Gusenleitner,1977),新异名),Kozhevnikovi 拟叶蜂(Kostylev,1927),Tingjingliae 拟叶蜂 Fateryga,新种,三脊拟叶蜂(Kokujev,1913),和 Valentinae 拟叶蜂 Fateryga,新种。提供了这些物种的雌雄的完整诊断,并附有鉴定钥匙。还呈现了每个物种地理分布的详细地图。还总结了有关它们生物学的现有数据。
