Abstract:

In the redescription of Notiospathius fuscipes Cameron, page 35, the propodeum lacks distinct spines over hind coxa and a spine at apical-lateral corners.

The key we included that is complementary to the one provided by Marsh (2002) should be replaced entirely by the following couplets, and is designed to be used in conjunction with Marsh’s key.
