Description of a new species of Dasylabris and re-description of four species of Macroocula and Gynecaptera published as nomina nuda (Hymenoptera; Mutillidae, Bradynobaenidae)

Abstract

Description of a new species of Dasylabris (Mutillidae) and redescription of four species of Bradynobaenidae published as nomen nudum. We describe Dasylabris scaramozzinoi sp. nov. from the Republic of the Congo and provide a key to the Dasylabris species with five white spots on tergum II. Four species of Apterogyninae, recently published by Pagliano (2019) are here redescribed: Macroocula minuta, M. rosai, Gynecaptera brothersi and G. esterinae. They were considered as nomina nuda because the name and the location of the collection housing the holotype, was omitted in the original description, thereby not complying with Article 16.4.2 of the Zoological Code (ICZN 1999).
