Abstract
The taxonomic status of the genera Acropiesta Förster, 1856, Anommatium Förster, 1856, Erasikea Szabó, 1961 and Pantolyta Förster, 1856 is discussed. The following generic synonymies are proposed: Acropiesta, syn. nov., is synonymised with Pantolyta, and Erasikea, syn. nov., is synonymised with Anommatium. Erasikea nutrix Szabó, 1961, syn. nov., is a junior synonym of Anommatium ashmeadi Mayr, 1904. Three species are described as new to science: Pantolyta dichromia sp. nov. (Russia: European part, Primorskiy Territory), P. melniki sp. nov. (Russia: Kunashir Island; Republic of Korea) and P. simplicior sp. nov. (Russia: Kunashir Island). Eleven previously known Palaearctic species of the former genus Acropiesta and one species of Anommatium recorded in the fauna of Russia are reviewed and illustrated. The following new combinations are proposed: Pantolyta flavicauda (Ashmead, 1893), comb. nov.; P. flaviventris (Thomson, 1858), comb. nov.; P. flexinervis (Macek, 1998), comb. nov.; P. macrocera (Thomson, 1858), comb. nov.; P. micans (Macek, 1998), comb. nov.; P. nigrocincta (Kieffer, 1909), comb. nov.; P. nitida (Thomson, 1858), comb. nov.; P. pseudosciarivora (Macek, 1998), comb. nov.; P. pulchella (Whittaker, 1930), comb. nov.; P. radialis (Hellén, 1964), comb. nov.; P. rufiventris (Kieffer, 1909), comb. nov.; P. sciarivora (Kieffer, 1859), comb. nov.; P. semirufa (Fouts, 1924), comb. nov.; P. seticornis (Kieffer, 1910), comb. nov.; P. subaptera (Ashmead, 1893), comb. nov.; Pantoclis radiatula (Thomson, 1858), comb. nov. An identification key to all Palaearctic species of Pantolyta and Anommatium is given.
