Genus Aptesis Förster, 1850 View in CoL View at ENA

Aptesis Förster, 1850: 82 View in CoL . Type species: Ichneumon sudeticus Gravenhorst, 1815 (= Ichneumon nigrocinctus Gravenhorst, 1815 ). Designated by Viereck (1914).

Pezoporus Förster, 1869: 181 View in CoL . Type species: Ichneumon nigrocinctus Gravenhorst, 1815 . Designated by Ashmead (1900). Name preoccupied.

Clypeodiodon Aubert, 1968: 7. Type species: Aptesis (Clypeodiodon) flavifaciator Aubert, 1968 View in CoL . Monotypic.

Four species, Ap. albibasalis ( Uchida, 1930) , Ap. albidipes ( Walker, 1874) , Ap. flavitrochanterus Watanabe & Taniwaki, 2018 , and Ap. opaca ( Cushman, 1937) , have been recorded from Japan. Among them, Ap. albidipes is known only a single male holotype without apical part of antennae ( Shimizu & Broad, 2020).

In this study, I newly describe five new species below. Aptesis opaca ( Cushman, 1937) is transferred from this genus to Oresbius . Aptesis sp. C sensu Watanabe & Taniwaki (2018) is not this genus (an undetermined genus of Phygadeuontinae). Aptesis sp. D sensu Watanabe & Taniwaki (2018) is Javra albotrochantellata sp. nov.
