03BC8F671D39AE77FF5AFEB7FA03FF19.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis: Masner (1976) and Galloway & Austin (1984) both compared Fusicornia directly with Opisthacantha Ashmead. The two genera are similar in the armed metascutellum, the lack of a margined frontal scrobe, and a well-developed postmarginal vein. Opisthacantha probably is not closely related to Fusicornia: it is easily distinguished by the presence of a skaphion and the well-defined 5 - merous antennal clava of the female. The concept of Opisthacantha of Masner (1976) encompasses a number of heterogeneous elements, some of which lack the skaphion. From these, Fusicornia may be distinguished by the elongate and poorly defined female antennal clava (Figs. 14, 26, 32, 72), and the very elongate marginal vein of the fore wing. Some species of Trimorus Förster are extremely similar to Fusicornia in size, setation, and body shape. The latter may be distinguished by the elongate and narrow clava, the bidentate mandible, the broad netrion, and the presence of a long postmarginal vein in the fore wing.	en	Taekul, Charuwat, Johnson, Norman F., Masner, Lubomír, Shu-Pei, Chen (2008): Revision of the world species of the genus Fusicornia Risbec (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae, Scelioninae).

03BC8F671D39AE77FF5AFEB7FA03FF19.taxon	discussion	Comments. Fusicornia has a number of unusual character states. The male antenna has no visible modifications of the basal flagellomeres, i. e., it has no differentiated sex segment. The labrum is strongly sclerotized and clearly visible below the clypeus. The ovipositor system has the ventral membranous plate greatly elongated, a character state found elsewhere only in the genera Leptoteleia Kieffer and Baryconus Förster, neither of which is thought to be particularly closely related to Fusicornia. Finally, the medial apodeme is absent on S 6 (Austin & Field 1997), a state shared with only six other platygastrid genera. The classification of Fusicornia within the Psilanteridini is problematic because the monophyly of that tribe has been questioned (Austin & Field, 1997). The phylogenetic position of the genus remains uncertain. The hosts of Fusicornia have not yet been discovered. Specimens of these wasps have been commonly collected in both Malaise traps and yellow pan traps. NFJ recently collected over 200 specimens of F. spinosa in nama karoo in the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The collections were made using yellow pan traps placed along the edge of the limited standing, permanent water in the semiarid habitat. Several platygastrid genera, such as Tiphodytes Bradley and Thoron Haliday, do parasitize the eggs of semiaquatic and truly aquatic Hemiptera. We cannot yet assert whether Fusicornia is a member of this guild of parasitoids, or if it is simply attracted to water in a dry environment. Link to Distribution Map. 22 Fusicornia is primarily a tropical group of Africa, Asia, and Australasia, extending into the temperate zones in southern Africa, Korea, Taiwan, and Japan. The genus is most diverse in the Afrotropical region, particularly in West Africa. Some species are quite widespread, e. g., F. bambeyi, F. paradisa. Fusicornia aulacis appears to be endemic to Madagascar; although some other taxa seem to be restricted in distribution, such as the species of New Guinea, the data are insufficient to confidently state that they are endemic to those areas.	en	Taekul, Charuwat, Johnson, Norman F., Masner, Lubomír, Shu-Pei, Chen (2008): Revision of the world species of the genus Fusicornia Risbec (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae, Scelioninae).

03BC8F671D30AE6EFF5AF8A5FE79FE0A.taxon	discussion	Comments. Some specimens show variability in coxal color, in which the fore coxae are dark, and the mid and hind coxae yellow: OSUC 148980, 148981, 162177, 162179, 206137, 208107. Because of the uniformity of the principal characters, the sculpture of scutellum, the configuration of the median and lateral metanotal spines, and the setation of areas 2 and 4 of metapleuron, these specimens are hypothesized to be conspecific with F. bambeyi.	en	Taekul, Charuwat, Johnson, Norman F., Masner, Lubomír, Shu-Pei, Chen (2008): Revision of the world species of the genus Fusicornia Risbec (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae, Scelioninae).

03BC8F671D13AE4CFF5AFDD2FE31FD82.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The smooth or with shallowly impressed reticulate microsculpture on the central portion of the frons distinguishes Fusicornia tehrii from the cohort of the species from Asia, F. koreica, F. indica, and F. episcopus. This species is also immediately distinguished by the very short lateral metanotal spine and the almost entirely smooth mesoscutellum (Figs. 147 – 150).

03BC8F671D13AE4CFF5AFDD2FE31FD82.taxon	discussion	Comments: F. tehrii was originally described by Mukerjee (1993) on the basis of a single male specimen from Narendra Nagar (Tehri), India. Subsequently, Buhl (1998) described F. noonae from the Philippines, also on the basis of a single male specimen (Figs. 150 – 154). The characters of F. noonae presented by Buhl (1998) are identical to the description of F. tehrii. These characters comprise the smooth sculpture of the central frons, sparse setation of the gena, the smooth and shining sculpture of the scutellum, and smooth and shining sculpture on T 3 (Figs. 147 – 150). Buhl (1998) compared his species with F. indica, F. bambeyi, and F. spinosa, presumably on the basis of the literature. No mention was made of F. tehrii. Dr. Rajmohana K. (Zoological Survey of India, Calicut) kindly examined the holotype of F. tehrii and compared it with the species concepts developed in this paper.	en	Taekul, Charuwat, Johnson, Norman F., Masner, Lubomír, Shu-Pei, Chen (2008): Revision of the world species of the genus Fusicornia Risbec (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae, Scelioninae).
