Description

Adelotropis W ATERSTON, 1922

Adelotropis WATERSTON, 1922: 455-456. Type species: Adelotropis farquharsoni WATERSTON, 1922 (Unknown Repository).

This genus was not included in the monograph of HEINRICH (1967 -1968), because he was unable to study the type material. It is characterized by the following features: 1 st flagellomere shorter than the 2 nd one; claws not or only basally pectinate; juxtacoxal carina more or less present; gastrocoelus and thyridium large; scutellum completely carinate laterally, with a distinct central tooth or spine. Because we have not seen the type specimen, we based our comparison on the good drawings and description by WATERSTON (1922).
