 Austelasmus Riek, 1967. Austral. Jour. Zool. 15: 148. N. syn. 



Type-species: Elasmus trifasciativentris Girault. Orig. desig. 



The original description of Aneure Nees does not at all sound like a characterization of 

 Elasmus, or even of a chalcidoid. Peck, 1963. Canad. Ent. Sup. 30: 319 lists the synonymy of 

 Aneure under Elasmus as questionable. This synonymy, however, dates from Foerster, 1856. 

 Hym. Stud., v. 2, p. 72. A careful reading of Foerster shows that he speaks of Anuere with a con- 

 fidence that could only have been achieved through his having studied the Nees type specimens. 

 This synonymy should be accepted despite the description.
