Abstract

The Neotropical genus Acanthoscelio Ashmead is revised. We recognize eight species, found from Costa Rica south to Paraguay and southeastern Brazil. Acanthoscelio americanus Ashmead (Brazil) and A. flavipes Ashmead (Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela, and Trinidad) are redescribed, and six new species are described: A. acutussp.nov. (Costa Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, Trinidad, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil), A. latenssp.nov. (Ecuador), A. nimbosussp.nov. (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and Bolivia), A. prolatussp.nov. (Colombia and Ecuador), A. punctatussp.nov. (Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador), and A. radiatussp.nov. (Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Brazil, and French Guiana). A key to species is provided.

Résumé

On trouvera ici la révision du genre néotropical Acanthoscelio Ashmead. Nous reconnaissons huit espèces réparties du Costa Rica jusqu’au Paraguay et au sud du Brésil. Acanthoscelio americanus Ashmead (Brésil) et A. flavipes Ashmead (Costa Rica, Panama, Venezuela et Trinidad) font l’objet de nouvelles descriptions sont décrits de nouveau et six nouvelles espèces sont décrites également : A. acutussp.nov. (Costa Rica, Colombie, Venezuela, Trinidad, Équateur, Pérou et Brésil), A. latenssp.nov. (Équateur), A. nimbosussp.nov. (Colombie, Équateur, Pérou, Brésil et Bolivie), A. prolatussp.nov. (Colombie et Équateur), A. punctatussp.nov. (Costa Rica, Panama, Colombie et Équateur) et A. radiatussp.nov. (Colombie, Équateur, Pérou, Brésil et Guyane française). Une clé permettra l’identification des espèces.
