Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) with Description of a New Species Обзор Палеарктических Видов Рода Colpopyga (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) С Описанием Нового Вида ZOOSYSTEMATICA ROSSICA, 26(2): 294–306 25 DECEMBER 2017 Review of the Palaearctic species of the genus Colpopyga (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) with description of a new species Обзор палеарктических видов рода Colpopyga (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) с описанием нового вида P. R OSA П. РОЗА P. Rosa, Via Belvedere 8/d, 20881 Bernareggio (MB), Italy. E-mail: [email protected] Colpopyga Semenov, 1954, a chrysidid genus of the tribe Elampini (Chrysididae: Chrysidi- nae) with four Palaearctic and one Nearctic species, is reviewed. The study of internal urites (Noskiewicz & Lorencova, 1963) and new molecular data (Niehuis, pers. comm.) show a ge- neric status of Colpopyga, which is more related to the genus Holopyga Dahlbom, 1854. A new species, Colpopyga nesterovi sp. nov. from Kazakhstan, is described and illustrated; it is easily recognizable by the red-coppery body coloration and shallow, small and sparse punctures. The status of the subspecies Hedychridium flavipes temperatum Linsenmaier, 1959 is updated to species level in the genus Colpopyga (comb. nov.). New generic combinations are also pro- posed for C. aureiventris (Mercet, 1904), comb. nov. and C. crassa (Bohart, 1978), comb. nov. (all from the genus Hedychridium). The lectotype of Hedychridium flavipes var. cyanomacula- tum Trautmann, 1927 is designated. Дан обзор ос-блестянок рода Colpopyga Semenov, 1954 из трибы Elampini (Chrysididae: Chrysidinae), включающий 4 палеарктических вида и 1 неарктический. Изучение вну- тренних уритов (Noskiewicz & Lorencova, 1963) и новые молекулярные данные (Niehuis, личное сообщение) показали самостоятельность Colpopyga и его близость к роду Holopy- ga Dahlbom, 1854. Описан и проиллюстрирован новый вид Colpopyga nesterovi sp. nov. из Казахстана, хорошо отличающийся красно-медной окраской и мелкой, редкой пун- ктировкой тела. Статус Hedychridium flavipes temperatum Linsenmaier, 1959 повышен до видового уровня в роде Colpopyga (comb. nov.). Предложены новые комбинации для C. aureiventris (Mercet, 1904), comb. nov. и C. crassa (Bohart, 1978), comb. nov. (все из рода Hedychridium). Обозначен лектотип Hedychridium flavipes var. cyanomaculatum Trautmann, 1927.

One genus and 27 species (including 3 new species: 52% of the captured material) are new records for the country. In addition, three new species, Chrysis gianassoi sp. nov., Chrysis majidi sp. nov. and Chrysis unirubra sp. nov. are described and illustrated, and diagnostic characters are provided to identify them. Chrysis turcica du Buyson, 1908 is removed from synonymy with Chrysis peninsularis du Buysson, 1887. Chrysis bilobata Balthasar, 1953 is confirmed as valid species and illustrated. The composition of the Iranian Chrysididae fauna is compared with that of South Palaearctic countries. The large proportion of new record and new species (≈52%) indicates that the fauna of Iranian Chrysididae is rich and diverse but has not yet been thoroughly studied. The majority of new record were obtained from mountainous sites above 1000 m above sea level, indicating the rich biodiversity of this biotope. Key words: Chrysididae, malaise trap, pan trap, Palaearctic Region, taxonomy, fauna, Iran.

Hymenoptera, Chrysididae, cuckoo wasps, parasite specialization, trap nest, Chrysis, host specificity Abstract. Cuckoo wasps (Chrysididae) are a medium-sized and widespread family of Hymenoptera whose species are generally para- sitoids or cleptoparasites of solitary wasps and bees. The identities of the hosts are known from various studies and occasional records; however the utility of such data is often low due to unstable taxonomy of the species and the inappropriate methods used to determine the host species. Therefore, despite numerous publications on the subject, the host-parasite relationships of cuckoo wasps are poorly understood. Moreover, a revision of existing literature reveals that cuckoo wasps are often unreasonably considered to be unspecialized (i.e., sharing host species). In this study we use an accurate method (trap-nests) to determine the host relationships of Estonian cuckoo wasps of the genera Chrysis and Trichrysis and determine their level of specialization. 568 trap nest bundles (each containing 15–20 single reed stems) were established at 361 locations across Estonia during the vegetation periods of 2009–2011.

  • Record of Omalus Aeneus (Fabricius, 1787)(Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) from Iran
    Archive of SID nd Proceedings of 22 Iranian Plant Protection Congress, 27-30 August 2016 460 College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of Tehran, Karaj, IRAN Record of Omalus aeneus (Fabricius, 1787) (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) from Iran Afrouz Farhad, Ali Asghar Talebi, Yaghoub Fathipour, Hamid Reza Hajiqanbar Department of Entomology, College of Agriculture, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran. [email protected] The family Chrysididae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) is one of the largest families of Aculeata. They have a highly reduced sting and only 2 to 4 (rarely 5) metasomal segments are visible. There is no complete information about their biology, but adults feed on pollen and nectar of plants. They are Parasitoid or cleptoparasite of other Hymenoptera, Phasmatodea and Lepidoptera. Members of this family are called gold wasps and cuckoo wasps because of their metallic coloration and cleptoparasitic behavior. Cuckoo wasps are comprising 87 genera and 2509 species in the world. They have the greatest diversity in the Palearctic region. In order to investigate the chrysidid fauna, sampling was carried out in the different ecosystem of Northern provinces (Guilan, Mazandaran, Alborz and Qazvin) and Southern provinces (Hormozgan and Fars) of Iran during 2010-2013 using Malaise traps and sweeping net. The species were identified by reliable keys and confirmed by Paolo Rosa (Bernareggio, Italy). As the result of this research a total of 13 species and 4 genera belonging to Chrysidiane subfamily and Elampini tribe are identified, among them Omalus aeneus (Fabricius, 1787) is recorded for the first time from Iran The specimens were collected from Chamestan in Mazandaran province (23 July 2010, 1 male, 11 August 2011, 3 females).

  • First Records of Chrysis Splendidula Rossi, 1790 (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae), and Other Corrections of the Cuckoo Wasp Check-List of Lithuanian Fauna
    124 BULLETIN OF THE LITHUANIAN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. Volume 3 (31) FIRST RECORDS OF CHRYSIS SPLENDIDULA ROSSI, 1790 (HYMENOPTERA: CHRYSIDIDAE), AND OTHER CORRECTIONS OF THE CUCKOO WASP CHECK-LIST OF LITHUANIAN FAUNA SVETLANA ORLOVSKYTĖ, EDUARDAS BUDRYS Nature Research Centre, Akademijos 2, LT-08412 Vilnius, Lithuania. E-mail: [email protected] Introduction Chrysis splendidula Rossi, 1790 (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) is a cleptoparasitic cuckoo wasp widespread in the Palearctic region ranging from Europe and North Africa to Southeast Asia (Linsenmaier, 1959, 1997; Курзенко, Лелей, 2007). It has been recorded in neighbouring countries, such as Latvia (Paukkunen et al., 2014), Belarus, Poland (Wiśniowski, 2015), while the presence of this species in Lithuania has not yet been confirmed. Moreover, some other corrections must be made in the Lithuanian check-list of chrysidids (Orlovskytė et al., 2010) due to a new species description, misidentifications, and a revised taxonomic status of some species. The aim of this publication is to present new records of this cuckoo wasp species and to adjust the Chrysididae species check-list of Lithuania. Material and Methods The material was collected during field research using entomological net and yellow pan traps by E. Budrys (abbreviated as E.B.) and S. Orlovskytė (S.O.). It was identified according to W. Linsenmaier (1997), J. Paukkunen et al. (2015) and deposited in the Nature Research Centre (Vilnius, Lithuania). Total genomic DNA of the specimen from Užuožerės Miškas f. was extracted following the "GeneJet Genome Purification Kit" (Thermo Fisher Scientific) protocol. The 675 bp long fragment of the CO1-5' gene, widely used as a "barcoding" sequence (Hebert et al., 2003), was amplified with modified primers T3HYMlep-f (5'- attaaccctcactaaagtcwachaaycayaaaratatygg-3') and T7HYMnancy-r (5'- aatacgactcactataggdaraattaraatrtaaacytcwg-3') (Budrys et al., 2019).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract An updated checklist of the Arabian species of Chrysididae is provided here. Three new synonymies (valid name first) are proposed: Chrysis mirifica Balthasar, 1953 = Chrysis dawahi Strumia, 2012 syn. nov.; Chrysis viridissima Klug, 1845 = Chrysis decolorata Strumia & Dawah, 2019 syn. nov.; Trichrysis longispina (Mocsáry, 1912) = Trichrysis flavicornis Strumia & Dawah, 2019 syn. nov.. Consequently, the list includes 124 identified species in 22 genera and three tribes, all in the subfamily Chrysidinae: Elampini (11 genera, 48 species), Chrysidini (9 genera, 73 species), and Parnopini (2 genera, 3 species). In addition, there is a single record of an unidentified species of the subfamily Cleptinae. Distributions, both on the Peninsula and extra-limital, are provided for each species and subspecies; 41 species (33%) are endemic to the Arabian Peninsula, as are five subspecies. Key words: Chrysidini, Elampini, Parnopini, distribution, synonymy Chrysididae Latreille, 1802 The Chrysididae (cuckoo, ruby-tailed, or gold wasps) are a relatively large, widely distributed family, currently with 2850 described species in 112 genera (of which 17 genera are extinct) (Rosa et al.
