Type genus. Brevitalitrus Bousfield, 1971
Included genera (9). Bousfieldia Chou & Lee, 1996; Brevitalitrus Bousfield, 1971; Caribitroides Lindeman, 1990; Cerrorchestia Lindeman, 1990; Hawaiorchestia Bousfield, 1984; Mexitroides Lindeman, 1990; Mizuhorchestia Morino, 2014;? Spelaeorchestia Bousfield & Howarth, 1976; Talitroides Bonnier, 1898.
Category. Mascupods and femipods.
Ecological type. Field-hoppers, forest-hoppers and moss-hoppers.
Distribution. Australia and Papua New Guinea; Western Indian Ocean; Japan and Taiwan; Pacific Plate; Caribbean.
Diagnostic description. Antenna 1 long, reaching to at least midpoint of peduncular article 5 of antenna 2 or short, not reaching midpoint of peduncular article 5 of antenna 2. Maxilliped palp article 2 without distomedial lobe; article 4 small, distinct. Gnathopod 1 posterior margin of merus, carpus and propodus each without palmate lobes or posterior margin of merus, carpus and propodus each with palmate lobes; propodus subrectangular or ‘subtriangular’ with well-developed posterodistal lobe or subrectangular, tapering distally. Gnathopod 2 subchelate or mitten-shaped. Pereopods 3–7 cuspidactylate. Pereopod 4 dactylus amplidactylate. Pereopod 5 dactylus not inflated. Pereopod 6 subequal in length or shorter than pereopod 7. Pereopod 7 not sexually dimorphic. Epimera 1–3 slits absent. Uropods 1–2 rami without apical spear-shaped setae. Uropod 1 male exopod not sexually dimorphic; exopod with marginal robust setae in one row or without marginal robust setae. Uropod 3 ramus shorter than peduncle. Telson with only apical robust (except Brevitalitrus); with 1–6 robust setae per lobe.
Remarks. Bousfield (1984: table 8) describes pereopods 3–7 as cuspidactylate for Spelaeorchestia and this in association with other characters (antenna 1 short, maxilliped palp article 2 without distomedial lobe, uropod 1 exopod without marginal setae and telson with 3 robust setae per lobe) places it in either the Brevitalitridae or the Makawidae. Both families contain femipods. We are unable to separate the Makawidae and Brevitalitridae on morphological character states, but they have very different distributions. The Makawiidae are found only in Zealandia (New Zealand, New Caledonia and Lord Howe) and Tasmania. The Brevitalitridae, by contrast are almost world- wide from South and Central America, through Taiwan and Japan to Hawaii and across many islands on the Pacific Plate as well as in the Indian Ocean.
Based on biogeography we tentatively place Spelaeorchestia in the Brevitalitridae.

Diagnosis: Dacus (Mellesis) crabroniformis was adequately redescribed by Drew et al. (1998); David and Ramani (2019) provided illustrations of epandrium and phallus. Epandrium (0.24 mm), heavily sclerotized, longer than lateral surstylus (0. 16 mm) in profile; apex posterior lobe of surstylus blunt, four times longer than anterior lobe; proctiger membraneous, triangular, and smaller than epandrium. In posterior view, epandrium and surstyli bulbous with well-developed prensisetae; medial surstylus longer than lateral surstylus. Phallus short, 1.5 mm in length (excluding glans, 0. 34 mm); 0. 75 sclerotized with patterned acrophallus.
Remarks: Although it shares a general appearance with D. ramanii, D. crabroniformis can be distinguished by the presence of a narrow anepisternal stripe that is as broad as the notopleuron and the absence of a radial-medial band on the wing.
Attractant: Zingerone.
Host plant: Not known.

Notiospathius

description: Notiospathius Matthews and Marsh, 1973
Type species: Stenophasmus terminalis Ashmead, 1984.
Comments. This genus has a Neotropical distribution, with species recorded from Veracruz and Jalisco in central Mexico (Zaldívar-Riverón, unpubl. data) to the north, to northern Argentina to the south (J. J. Martínez, unpub. data). Species of Notiospathius are very similar to those of Hansonorum, and only can be distinguished from species of the latter genus by having the hind coxa with a tuberlce at the base (Marsh, 2002). A recent phylogenetic study, however, found that species of these two genera appeared intermingled within a single clade together with other doryctine genera with enlarged first metasomal tergite (Zaldívar- Riverón et al., 2008). Therefore, the presence of a tubercle in the hind coxa apparently has been gained and lossed in repeated occasions within the latter clade. Thus, further molecular and morphological studies will confirm whether Hansonorum must be synonymyzed with Notiospathius. Notiospathius is also morphologically similar to Spathius since both have an extremely petiolate, tubular first metasomal tergite, at least four times longer than apical width, with basal sternal plate 0.75 or more length of tergum. However, it can be distinguished from the latter genus by having: 1) fore wing with m-cu vein antefurcal and CU1a vein arising below the middle of first subdiscal cell; 2) hind wing with narrow basal cell, M-CU vein long, and absence of a weak development of the RS vein (Matthews and Marsh, 1973).
Marsh (2002) provided a key for the species of Notiospathius from Costa Rica, which included 15 new species and three of the species recognized by Matthews and Marsh (1973). The species of Notiospathius redescribed in this study and that are not in Marsh's (2002) key are added at the end of the redescriptions in its couplet 2 except for N. sculpturatus, which could not be included because its holotype lacks the metasoma. This updated key thus only misses four of the currently recognized species of the genus, three of which we could not examine their holotypes, N. caudatus (Szépligeti, 1902), N. colombianus (Enderlein, 1912), and N. eleutherae (Ashmead, 1892).

Dacus (Callantra) maculipterus White, in Drew et al., 1998: 607. Type locality Ban Sap Bon, near Saraburi, Thailand.
Dacus (Mellesis) maculipterus — Hancock and Drew, 2006: 173; Drew and Romig, 2013: 389.
Material examined: 1♂, INDIA, Meghalaya, Umiam, 25.668°N 91.918°E, 10–14.x.2019., Salini, S. (NIM). Diagnosis: Drew et al. (1998) provided an adequate description of this species, except for postabdominal structures. David et al. (2020) described and illustrated male genitalia. Epandrium, dark brown, heavily sclerotized. Posterior lobe of surstylus 6–7 times longer than anterior lobe; lateral surstylus shorter than epandrium. In posterior view, epandrium and surstyli bulbous; medial surstylus shorter than lateral surstylus and with black, finger-like prensisetae. Phallus long (2.28 mm) with a sclerotized glans (0.57 mm); the acrophallus has a single tubule with pattern, and there are lobes in the preglans and subapical regions.
Remarks: This species is similar to D. crabroniformis, D. ramanii, D. satanas and D. sinensis (Wang) but can be differentiated by pale areas on abdominal terga IV and V on either side of medial longitudinal black band.
Attractant: Zingerone.
Host plant: Not known.
