It clearly differs from  P. organensis sp. nov. by having ovipositor 1.0 times as long as hind tibia and fore and mid leg orange, hind leg brownish, except coxa orange and a medium inner and outer region whitish (ovipositor&gt;1.2 times as long as hind tibia and fore leg orange, mid leg orange with coxa, trochanter and trochantellus whitish and tarsus brownish, hind leg whitish with coxa inner region, trochanter proximally, trochantellus distal, femur proximally and distally, tibia proximally and distally, first tarsal segment distally, and remaining tarsal segments entirely blackish brown in  P. organensis sp. nov.). </p>

            <p>Remarks.</p>
            <p> Polysphincta macroepomia sp. nov. closely resembles  P. dizardi Gauld, 1991 and  P. cosnipata sp. nov. mainly by the coloration, mesosoma orange with metapleuron and propodeum blackish and metasoma brownish or blackish. However, it differs from both species by having epomia present (absent in  P. dizardi and  P. cosnipata sp. nov.). </p>

            <p> Polysphincta sinearanea Pádua , 2018 in Kloss et al. 2018: 102. Holotype ♀, Brazil (INPA). </p>
            <p>Diagnosis.</p>
            <p> Polysphincta sinearanea can be distinguished from other species of the  P. dizardi species-group by the combination of the following characters: (1) epomia present, about 0.9 times length of proximal mandibular width (Fig. 9B); (2) malar space 0.5-0.6 times as long as proximal mandibular width (Fig. 9B); (3) fore wing vein 1 cu-a more or less interstitial relative to M&amp;RS (Fig. 9A); (4) mesosoma entirely orange (Fig. 9A); (5) fore wing very slightly yellowish hyaline (Fig. 9A); (6) hind leg orange with femur, tibia and tarsus brownish (Fig. 9A); (7) metasoma orange, with posterior margins of tergites II-IV narrowly black, posterior half of tergite V black, and tergites VI+ black (Fig. 9A, C); (8) ovipositor robust, 1.5 times as long as hind tibia. </p>
            <p>Comments.</p>
            <p>Additional characters to the original description (♀) are as follows: head in dorsal view with margin of the gena flat behind the eyes, and its margin [0.7] times length of eye; shelf-like projection, in dorsal view, weakly developed in the anterolateral part of apex, the apex more or less straight, not bilobed, and in lateral view, with anterolateral part in apex more or less rounded and not decurved; mesoscutum robust, in dorsal view; tarsal claw with proximal lobe quadrangular, with claw apex slightly overtaking the distal margin of lobe; ovipositor robust.</p>

            <p>Diagnose.</p>
            <p> Polysphincta teresa sp. nov. can be distinguished from other species of the  P. dizardi species-group by the combination of the following characters: (1) epomia present, about 0.9-1.0 times length of proximal mandibular width (Fig. 10B); (2) malar space 0.4-0.6 times as long as proximal mandibular width (Fig. 10B); (3) fore wing with vein 1 cu-a postfurcal relative to M&amp;RS (0.25-0.35 times its own length) or 1 cu-a more or less interstitial relative to M&amp;RS (Fig. 10A); (4) mesosoma orange, except posterior carinae of propodeum darkish brown (Fig. 10A); (5) fore wing hyaline (Fig. 10A); (6) hind leg whitish with proximal region of trochanter, longitudinal spot in subdistal region of inner and outer margin of femur, distal part of tibia and first tarsal segment distally and remaining tarsal segments brownish (Fig. 10A); (7) metasoma darkish brown, with posterior margins of tergites II-V narrowly black (Fig. 10A, C); (8) ovipositor slightly slender, [1.7] 1.4-1.7 times as long as hind tibia. </p>

            <p>Etymology.</p>

            <p> Polysphincta teresa sp. nov. closely resembles  P. shabui Gauld, 1991 mainly by coloration, with mesosoma entirely orange and propodeum blackish with anterior parts whitish. It differs from  P. shabui by having epomia present (absent in  P. shabui ). </p>
