Abstract

The species of the genus Pseudonortonia Giordani Soika, 1936 occurring in the Oriental region are revised. Three new species, namely Pseudonortonia camarinensis sp. nov., Pseudonortonia incola sp. nov., and Pseudonortonia lamellata sp. nov., are described; Pseudonortonia bhamensis flavolimbata Giordani Soika, 1986 is raised to species rank (Pseudonortonia flavolimbata stat. nov.); Pseudonortonia pretiosissima Giordani Soika, 1943 syn. nov. is a junior synonym of Tachyancistrocerus komarowi (Morawitz, 1885), and Pseudonortonia crassipunctata Gusenleitner, 2001 syn. nov. is a junior synonym of Pseudonortonia abbreviaticornis Giordani Soika, 1941; Pseudonortonia accliva (Gusenleitner, 2007) comb. nov. and Symmorphus jucundus (Gusenleitner, 2008) comb. nov. are new combinations. A key to the Oriental species of Pseudonortonia is provided.
