Synonymized by Fergusson (1986). Megapelmus rufiventris Hartig, 1841: 358. Anacharis staegeri Dahlbom, 1842: 4. Synonymized by Dalla-Torre (1893). Synapsis aquisgranensis Förster, 1869: 361. Anacharis ensifera – Walker in Reinhard 1860: 217. Synonymized by Fergusson (1986). Type examined. Anacharis rufiventris – Giraud 1860: 171. Synonymized by Fergusson (1986). Prosynapsis aquisgranensis – Dalla-Torre & Kieffer 1910: 45. Synonymized by Kierych (1984). Diagnosis Species easily distinguishable from most Eurasian species of Anacharis by the weakly excavated notauli which tend to disappear in its anterior region in some individuals (in A. antennata , A. eucharoides , A. parapsidalis , A. belizini sp. nov. and A. fergussoni sp. nov., notauli always complete, deeply excavated, internally carinate). This character is also shared with A. norvegica sp. nov., but A. immunis can be distinguished by always having a smooth mesoscutum and big cells in the scutellum (mesoscutum carinate in its anterior region and scutellum densely covered by small cells in A. norvegica sp. nov.). Type material Type material of Anacharis immunis.

Mesoscutal width 1.2 times its length in dorsal view. Mesoscutum smooth to slightly alutaceous, shiny, almost glabrous except for few setae in its anterior third. Notauli weakly excavated, not internally carinate, complete in some specimens, but effaced in anterior third of mesoscutum in others (Fig. 2C); median mesoscutal furrow absent. Parapsidal signum, parascutal sulcus, absent. Scutellar length 0.6 to 0.7 times that of mesoscutum in dorsal view. Scutellar sculpture highly variable: in some specimens, scutellum areolate, while in some others smooth to slightly alutaceous.

Metasomal terga smooth and glabrous, punctate in anterior region of each tergum, more distinct from T4 to T7. Taxonomic remarks Anacharis immunis and A. ensifera were described as separate species by Walker (1835). In Fergusson (1986) they were synonymized. After examining the type material and series of undetermined material, we conclude that A. immunis is a valid species with a high variability in the scutellar sculpture (from completely smooth to softly areolate) and in the scutellar foveae (clearly defined by a carina in some specimens while in others there is a coarse band at the base of the foveae instead of the basal carina). The holotype of A. immunis has a smooth scutellum and scutellar foveae without basal carina, while the lectotype of A. ensifera has an areolate scutellum and a basal carina in the scutellar foveae; other specimens reflect intermediate states of those characters. The other synonymy established by Fergusson was A. rufiventris , but we could not examine the type material. Fergusson (1986) mentioned the petiole of females being shorter than the metacoxa, while it is as long as the metacoxa in males. After examining the type material and other specimens we did not see the differences mentioned by Fergusson; both sexes present the petiole as long as the metacoxa.

Taxonomic remarks Anacharis immunis and A. ensifera were described as separate species by Walker (1835). In Fergusson (1986) they were synonymized. After examining the type material and series of undetermined material, we conclude that A. immunis is a valid species with a high variability in the scutellar sculpture (from completely smooth to softly areolate) and in the scutellar foveae (clearly defined by a carina in some specimens while in others there is a coarse band at the base of the foveae instead of the basal carina). The holotype of A. immunis has a smooth scutellum and scutellar foveae without basal carina, while the lectotype of A. ensifera has an areolate scutellum and a basal carina in the scutellar foveae; other specimens reflect intermediate states of those characters. The other synonymy established by Fergusson was A. rufiventris , but we could not examine the type material. Fergusson (1986) mentioned the petiole of females being shorter than the metacoxa, while it is as long as the metacoxa in males. After examining the type material and other specimens we did not see the differences mentioned by Fergusson; both sexes present the petiole as long as the metacoxa.
