The Neotropical region is known for its high species diversity. Dissomphalus Ashmead exemplifies this phenomenon, being the most speciose genus within Bethylidae, with 34 species-groups and 287 species. Among these groups, punctatus is one of the smallest, comprising only seven species. The objective of this contribution is to conduct a taxonomic study of punctatus species-group in the Neotropical region. Our results are surprising by discovering forty-six species, thirty-nine of which are new to science: D. alexandrinae sp. nov., D. alzirae sp. nov., D. ameliae sp. nov., D. annae sp. nov., D. antonietae sp. nov., D. ashauerae sp. nov., D. beatrizae sp. nov., D. boriae sp. nov., D. carmenae sp. nov., D. carolinae sp. nov., D. dandarae sp. nov., D. deaneae sp. nov., D. elisae sp. nov., D. elzae sp. nov., D. enedinae sp. nov., D. eulaliae sp. nov., D. evaristoae sp. nov., D. grazielae sp. nov., D. guidonae sp. nov., D. jaquelineae sp. nov., D. johannae sp. nov., D. leliae sp. nov., D. limae sp. nov., D. lispectorae sp. nov., D. luisae sp. nov., D. lumae sp. nov., D. lutzae sp. nov., D. margarethae sp. nov., D. martae sp. nov., D. maryae sp. nov., D. meirelesae sp. nov., D. mirandae sp. nov., D. nisiae sp. nov., D. penhae sp. nov., D. ritae sp. nov., D. silveirae sp. nov., D. soniae sp. nov., D. sueliae sp. nov., D. vivianeae sp. nov. which are described and illustrated. The status of Dissomphalus montanus (Kieffer, 1910), stat. resurr. is resurrected from the synonymy of D. punctatus (Kieffer, 1910) seven are previously described: D. acutipupu Colombo & Azevedo, D. bahiensis Redighieri & Azevedo, D. cuca Colombo & Azevedo, D. montanus (Kieffer), D. napo Evans, D. punctatus (Kieffer) and D. tupinikim Colombo & Azevedo. A key to males of all species in this group is provided. Throughout this paper, we demonstrate the diversity found in the genitalia structures of this group and emphasize their importance in the taxonomy of Dissomphalus.
新热带地区以其高度的物种多样性而闻名。Dissomphalus Ashmead就是这一现象的例证，它是蚁形蜂科中物种最丰富的属，有34个物种组和287个物种。在这些组中，punctatus是最小的组之一，仅包含7个物种。本论文的目的是对新热带地区的punctatus物种组进行分类学研究。我们的研究结果令人惊讶，共发现了46个物种，其中39个是新物种：亚历山大Dissomphalus alexandrinae新种、阿尔齐拉Dissomphalus alzirae新种、阿梅莉亚Dissomphalus ameliae新种、安娜Dissomphalus annae新种、安东尼娅Dissomphalus antonietae新种、阿沙韦拉Dissomphalus ashauerae新种、贝特里扎Dissomphalus beatrizae新种、博里亚Dissomphalus boriae新种、卡门Dissomphalus carmenae新种、卡罗琳娜Dissomphalus carolinae新种、丹达拉Dissomphalus dandarae新种、迪安妮Dissomphalus deaneae新种、伊丽莎Dissomphalus elisae新种、埃尔扎Dissomphalus elzae新种、埃内迪纳Dissomphalus enedinae新种、尤拉莉亚Dissomphalus eulaliae新种、埃瓦里斯托Dissomphalus evaristoae新种、格拉齐耶拉Dissomphalus grazielae新种、吉多纳Dissomphalus guidonae新种、杰奎琳Dissomphalus jaquelineae新种、约翰娜Dissomphalus johannae新种、莱利亚Dissomphalus leliae新种、利马Dissomphalus limae新种、利斯佩克托拉Dissomphalus lispectorae新种、路易莎Dissomphalus luisae新种、卢马Dissomphalus lumae新种、卢察Dissomphalus lutzae新种、玛格丽塔Dissomphalus margarethae新种、玛尔塔Dissomphalus martae新种、玛丽Dissomphalus maryae新种、梅雷莱斯Dissomphalus meirelesae新种、米兰达Dissomphalus mirandae新种、尼西亚Dissomphalus nisiae新种、彭哈Dissomphalus penhae新种、丽塔Dissomphalus ritae新种、西尔维拉Dissomphalus silveirae新种、索尼娅Dissomphalus soniae新种、苏埃利亚Dissomphalus sueliae新种、维维安妮Dissomphalus vivianeae新种，对这些新物种进行了描述和图示。复活了山地Dissomphalus montanus（基弗，1910）的分类地位，其从punctatus（基弗，1910）的同物异名中恢复，之前已描述的有7个：尖锐普普Dissomphalus acutipupu科伦坡和阿泽维多、巴伊亚Dissomphalus bahiensis雷迪吉耶里和阿泽维多、库卡Dissomphalus cuca科伦坡和阿泽维多、山地Dissomphalus montanus（基弗）、纳波Dissomphalus napo埃文斯、punctatus（基弗）和图皮尼基姆Dissomphalus tupinikim科伦坡和阿泽维多。提供了该组所有物种雄性的检索表。在整篇论文中，我们展示了该组生殖器结构中的多样性，并强调了它们在Dissomphalus分类学中的重要性。
