Ent. Intern瓜, Vol. 4, No. 3, 2001 ABSTRACT.- The world fauna ofthe family Aulacidae is cataloged. Three valid genera and 156 valid species are included. Distributions, hosts, and all literature pertaining to each species are presented. The Aulacidae are parasitoids of wood boring Hymenoptera (Xiphydriidae) and Coleoptera (primarily Buprestidae and Cerambycidae) but also recorded from Bostrichidae, Clerida巴, and Scolytidae Aulacids are found in all regions of the world, with 34 described from the Australian Region, 39 from the Neotropical region, 30 from the Nearctic Region, 21 from the Oriental Region, 27 from the Palearctic Region, and 4 from subsaharan Africa. A host list and a plant list are given, the plant list including recorded plants from which aulacids have emerged. Thirty-three new combinations, two new names (Aulacus forus Smith for Parafoenus formosus Kie叮叮 1911 and Pris的 ulacus karinulus Smith for Prist側的cus ki吵甘 i Enderlein 1912), and one new synonym (1nteraulacus kiefferi Bradley 1908 = Pristaulacus caudatus Szépligeti 1903) are proposed. Smith: World Catalog of Aulacidae 265 INTRODUCTION Aulacidae are parasitoids of wood-boring Hymenoptera and Coleoptera. Hosts include Xiphydriidae (Hymenoptera) and primarily Buprestidae and Cerambycid缸, but also possibly Bostrichidae, Cleridae, and Scolytidae (Coleoptera). They are found in aJl regions of the world except Antarctica. The world fauna was last cataloged by Hedicke (1 939), but numerous changes and additions have taken place since. This catalog is intended to assemble the known inforrnation on the world fauna, including distribution, hosts, and literature. The Aulacidae was first proposed as a family group name by Shuckard (1 841), though he also included genera now in the family Trigonalyidae. Subsequently, it has been treated either as a subfamily or group ofthe Evaniidae or as a distinct family. It has always been associated with the Evaniidae and Gasteruptiidae, which together form the present day superfamily Evanioidea. More recently some authors (e.g., Gibson 1985, Rasnitsyn 1988, and Whitfield et al. 1989) have provided some evidence that the aulacines and gasteruptiines together comprise a monophyletic group, and thus may be considered subfamilies of the Gasteruptiidae. The more recent literature, however, regards the Aulacidae as a distinct family (e.g., Konishi 19 喲 , Mason 1993, Gauld 1995), and Jennings and Austin (2000) demonstrated the monophyly of Aulacidae. Thus, 1 follow these most recent treatments. This catalog includes 3 valid genera and 156 valid species: 48 species of Aulacl的, 106 species of Pristaulacus, and 2 species of Panaulix. Aulacus and Pristaulacus occur worldwide, and Panau/ix is restricted to tropical Africa. FORMAT The valid name is in bold, fo Jlowed by the author and taxonomic change (if any). Distribution is by country with subdivision in parentheses for some of the larger countries. Hosts are as recorded in the literature. The original combination, author, reference, sex(es) described, type loca1ity verbatim (in quotes), and type depository (in parentheses) are first given under the species. Subsequent references are given which cite the species in the same combination. The type depository is not a1ways known; information given by the author may be quoted or “unknown" may be inserted. Depositories which house only one or two types are spelled out; the fo l1 owing acronyms are used for those that house a number of types: ANSP Academy of Natural Sciences, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S. A.; B 恥1N H = The Natural History Museum, London, u.K.; CUIC (Comell University Insect CoJlection, Ithaca, New York, U.S.A.; HNHM HWlgarian Natural History Museum, Budapest, Hungary; MNHN Muséum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris; NHR = Naturhistoriska Riksmuseet, Stoc隘的 1m , Sweden; NHMW = Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, Wien, Austria; NIAES Laboratory of Insect Systematics, National Institute of Agro-Environmental Sciences, Tsukuba, Japan; Oxford Hope Entomological Collections, Oxford University, Oxford, U.K. ; USNM Nationa1 Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D. C., U.S.A. Subsequent combinations and synonymy follow, with references to each which cite the species under the same combination and name. There is normally parenthetical information presented regarding the content of each reference. For some, such as Hedicke's (1 939) catalog, parenthetica1 information is not given. Hosts in the text are as recorded in the literature; currently valid names and host authors are given in the host lists at the end. Some will need future confirmation. A t 266 Contrib. Ent. Internat., Vol. 4, No. 3 弓 2001 times, hosts may have been assumed to be other insects that emerge from the same wood rather than actual observations or rearing from a particular host. Also, there may be several possible hosts emerging from the same wood 司 and the hosts may be recorded as all of those that emerged. The plant list includes the recorded plants from which aulacids have emerged. These are sometimes recorded in the literature without reference to what hosts might occur in the wood.
