Microplitis Förster, 1862 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Microplitis Förster, 1862: 245 [type species, by original designation, Microgastersordipes Nees ab Esenbeck, 1834.] Nixon 1970[1]: 3. Mason 1981[2]: 132. Austin and Dangerfield 1992[3] [see Shenefelt (1973: 737) for complete bibliography].
- Dapsilotoma Cameron, 1906: 101 [type species, by monotypy, Dapsilotomatestaceipes Cameron, 1906]. Synonymized by Viereck (1914: 25).

Diagnosis
Hypopygium usually small, never bearing longitudinal creases along median line. Ovipositor and sheaths usually projecting only a little beyond apex of hypopygium; sheaths bearing a few setae distally. T1 variable from wide to narrow apically and usually moderately sculptured; T2 rarely weakly sculptured and often with a weakly delimited trapezoidal median area; T3 longer than T2, the transverse groove between them poor; remaining tergites nearly smooth. Propodeum usually convexly rounded and often with a distinct percurrent medial keel, never with an areola, surface almost completely rugose, sometimes reticulo-rugose. Mesoscutum often densely sculptured, sometimes smooth, and with notauli, sometimes strongly defined. Posterior band of scutellum usually smooth but interrupted medially by rugosity. Fore wing usually with a D-shaped areolet, shape variable in some species, subtriangular, rectangular, etc.; 1CU1 much shorter than 2CU1; r short. Hind wing with vannal lobe convex and fringed throughout. Hind coxa small and not longer than T1; hind spurs shorter than half length of basitarsus. Labial palpi 3-jointed, sometimes 4-jointed.
Generally, the genus are clearly distinct from other genera. A detailed description of the genus and references to the revised generic diagnosis and Oriental Microplitis species can be made using the most recent data (Mason 1981[2]; Austin and Dangerfield 1993[4]; Ranjith et al. 2015[5]).
