Abstract

Philippodynerus omicroniformis Gusenleitner, 1996, the type species of the monotypic potter wasp genus Philippodynerus Gusenleitner, 1996, is a synonym of Apodynerus gregarioides (Giordani Soika, 1986), and consequently Philippodynerus Gusenleitner, 1996 is synonymized under Apodynerus Giordani Soika, 1993. Taxonomic notes on Apodynerus species are given, including two new synonymies for Apodynerus troglodytes troglodytes (de Saussure, 1856): A. t. karimonensis (van der Vecht, 1937), syn. n. and A. t. baliensis (Giordani Soika, 1987), syn. n. A synoptic key to species and a revised species checklist are provided.
