Alysiinae Genera Asyntactus MARSHALL [With A Genus Vol. 16(3): 431-444 Wroc³aw, 15 IX 2005 On the systematic and distribution of three rare alysiine genera (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Alysiinae) SERGEY A. BELOKOBYLSKIJ Museum and Institute of Zoology, Polish Academy of Sciences, Wilcza 64, 00-679 Warsaw, Poland. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. The Alysiinae genera Asyntactus MARSHALL [with A. sigalphoides MARSHALL], Carinthilota FISCHER [with C. vehti ACHTERBERG] and Epimicta FOERSTER [with Epimicta marginalis (HALIDAY)] are recorded for the first time for the fauna of Poland. Redescriptions and figures of these genera and species are given. The keys to the Palaearctic species of the genera Carinthilota and Epimicta are provided. Key words: entomology, taxonomy, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae, Asyntactus, Carinthilota, Epimicta, redescriptions, new records, Poland. INTRODUCTION The subfamily Alysiinae is one of the most peculiar and diversified sub- families of the endoparasitoids of the family Braconidae. The species of this subfamily parasitize the larvae of several families of Diptera (more common Agromyzidae, Phoridae, Ephydridae, Chloropidae, Calliphoridae, Anthomyiidae etc.) and finish their development in the puparium of flies. More than 80 genera have been described and most of these are restricted to temperate areas of the Holarctic Region (FISCHER 1971; SHENEFELT 1974; WHARTON 1980; BELOKOBYLSKIJ 1998; TOBIAS 1998). About 65 genera were recorded in the Palaearctic fauna including 55 genera of the fauna of Europe. Genera and species which were recorded from Poland (34 genera and 228 species) are from the both known alysiine tribes (HUFLEJT 1997; BELOKOBYLSKIJ 2004), but this number does not show the true diversity of the Polish alysiine fauna. Three genera from tribes Alysiini (Asyntactus MARSHALL, 1892 and 432 SERGEY A. BELOKOBYLSKIJ Carinthilota FISCHER, 1975) and Dacnusini (Epimicta FOERSTER, 1862) are re- corded in this paper as new for the fauna of Poland. The redescriptions of these genera and three species with discussion about distribution and contents of these groups are presented below. The terminology for wing venation follows that of BELOKOBYLSKIJ & TOBIAS (1998). SYSTEMATICS PART Asyntactus MARSHALL, 1898 Type species – Asyntactus rhogaleus MARSHALL, 1898. The presence of different types of sculptures on metasomal tergites behind the first one is one of the main diagnostic characters for several alysiine genera. This character is known in such Holarctic genera as Apronope ACHTERBERG, Asyntactus MARSHALL, Bobekia NIEZABITOWSKI, Glyphogaster MUESEBECK et WALKLEY, Hylcalosia FISCHER, Oenonogastra ASHMEAD, Phasmalysia TOBIAS, Phasmidiasta WHARTON, Separatatus CHEN et WU, Symphanes FOERSTER, Trachyusa RUTHE (Alysiini), Aristelix NIXON, Coelinius NEES, Eucoelinidea TOBIAS, Epimicta FOERSTER, Laotris NIXON, Orientelix TOBIAS, Parasymphia TOBIAS, Polemochartus SCHULZ, Sarops NIXON, Synelix FOERSTER, and Trachionus HALIDAY (Dacnusini). Asyntactus MARSHALL is one of the most rare alysiine genera which has more than 3 sculptured basal tergites on dorsoventrally depressed metasoma (MARSHALL 1892; FISCHER 1971).

Desde que en el siglo XVII el italiano Marcelo Malpighi (Crevalcore, 1628 - Roma, 1694) descubriera la relación causa-efecto entre un insecto y su agalla, numerosos naturalistas y científicos han centrado sus esfuerzos en estas estructuras vegetales, hasta hacer de la Cecidología (Ciencia que se ocupa del estudio de las agallas de las plantas) una ciencia de ámbito multidisciplinar que se asienta en estudios ecológicos, morfológicos y estructurales, etiológicos, taxonómicos, faunísticos, histológicos, fisiológicos, genéticos, etc. En este estudio se hará un repaso de que son las agallas y de los distintos estudios que pueden realizarse a partir de las agallas producidas por los Cynipidae (Hymenoptera). Palabras Clave: agallas, encinos, ecosistema, estudios. The oak galls: a miniature ecosystem which makes possible multidisciplinary studies ABSTRACT. Since the Italian Marcelo Malpighi (Crevalcore, 1628 - Roma, 1694) discovered the cause and effect relationship between an insect and its gall in the XVII century, many naturalists and scientists have focused their efforts in these plant structures to make for the Cecidology (science that deals with the study of plants galls) a multidisciplinary science based on different branches: ecologic, morphological, structural, etiologic, taxonomic, faunistic, histologic, physiologic, genetic, etc. In this work a review of what the galls are and the diverse studies which can be carried out from the Cynipidae (Hymenoptera) galls is made. Key words: galls, oaks, ecosystem, studies.

PAPP Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1088 Budapest, Baross utca 13, Hungary – Discussion of the taxonomic position of the genus Chorebus HALIDAY, 1833. Nine new Chorebus species are described from Central Europe (seven from Hungary and two from Slovakia): Chorebus (Paragyrocampa) catron sp. n., Ch. (Stiphrocera) citreus sp. n., Ch. (Paragyrocampa) convergens sp. n., Ch. (Stiphrocera)irriguus sp. n., Ch. (Phaenolexis)pusi- culus sp. n., Ch. (Stiphrocera) trapesus sp. n., Ch. (Stiphrocera) unicus sp. n., Ch. (Stiphrocera) vodaron sp. n. and Ch. (Stiphrocera) zuntus sp. n. With 153 figures. – Chorebus, new species, descriptions. INTRODUCTION The genus Chorebus was erected by HALIDAY in 1833. Five years later HALIDAY (1838) raised the taxon Alysia LATREILLE, 1804 to generic rank and the following six taxa were assigned to it as subgenera: Aenone HALIDAY, 1833 (now synonym of Trachionus HALIDAY, 1833), Alysia LATREILLE, Chasmodon HALIDAY, 1838, Chorebus HALIDAY, Coelinius NEES, 1818 and Dacnusa HALIDAY, 1833. FOERSTER (1862), within his ”26. Fam. Dacnuso- idae”, significantly increased the number of the dacnusine genera: besides Chorebus he had set up further 19 new genera as well as including the genera Chaenusa HALIDAY, 1839, Coelinius NEES, 1818, Copisura (= Copidura) SCHIÖDTE, 1837 and Dacnusa HALIDAY, 1833. FOERSTER’s generic names were either placed in synonymy or lowered to subgeneric rank in the three genera: Chaenusa, Chorebus and Dacnusa, respectively; only five genera re- mained valid: Agonia, Coloneura, Epimicta, Exotela and Synelix.

Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e8151. doi: 10.3897/BDJ.4.e8151 Abstract Background The checklist of British and Irish Braconidae is revised, based in large part on the collections of the National Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh, and the Natural History Museum, London. Distribution records are provided at the country level together with extensive synonymy and bibliography. New information Of the 1,338 species regarded as valid, presumed native and certainly identified, 83 are here recorded for the first time from the British Isles. One new synonym is established (Dyscritus suffolciensis Morley, 1933 = Syntretus splendidus (Marshall, 1887) syn. nov.) Keywords Britain, Ireland, fauna, Ichneumonoidea © Broad G et al.

Introduction The Braconidae is one of two families of the superfamily Ichneumonoidea, along with the Ichneumonidae. Given the size of each family in Britain (over 1,300 braconids and 2,500 ichneumonids) we are publishing the two checklists separately.
