- Abstract
The genus Pseudoheptascelio Szabó is redescribed and its species revised. We recognize four species: P. muesebecki Szabó, P. cornopis Masner, P. tico sp. n. and P. rex sp. n. The genus is found from Guatemala south to the Brazilian state of Rio Grande do Sul. The species P. cornopis is recorded as a parasitoid of the eggs of Cornops aquaticum (Bruner) on water hyacinth, Eichhornia crassipes (Mart.) Solms.
