 Acanthocryptus Thomson, 1873. Opusc. Ent. 5: 520, 521. 



Type-species: Phygadeuon quadrispinus Gravenhorst. Monotypic and orig. desig. 



This small Holarctic genus was removed from the Aptesini by Townes (1970), who discussed 

 his reasons for transferring it to the Hemitelini. No other genus of Hemitelini is known to have 

 species in which the adult females overwinter, but it is apparently not known if any Rhembobius 

 sp. overwinters e.xclusively in this way. The known hosts are saprophagous Syrphidae.
