From Pakistan Sarhad J. Agric. Vol.29, No.3, 2013 FIRST RECORD OF GENUS APHAERETA FOERSTER (ALYSIINAE: BRACONIDAE: HYMENOPTERA) FROM PAKISTAN WITH TAXONOMIC AND BIOLOGICAL NOTES ON APHAERETA PALLIPES (SAY) MIAN INAYATULLAH*, QURRATUL AIN TAHIRA and MIAN SABAHATULLAH Department of Entomology, The University of Agriculture, Peshawar – Pakistan *Correspondence author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Genus Aphaereta Foerster is recorded for the first time from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan. Aphaereta pallipes (Say) an important house fly parasitoid is recorded and (re)described. New distributional records, improved description of both male and female, notes on its Biology and Illustrations of important diagnostic characters are provided in this work. Variations within species are given. Keywords: Braconidae, Alysiinae, Alysiini, Aphaereta, Aphaereta pallipes Citation: Inayayullah. M., Q. A. Tahira and Sabahatullah. 2013. First record of genus aphaereta foerster (alysiinae: braconidae: hymenoptera) from pakistan with taxonomic and biological notes on aphaereta pallipes (say). Sarhad J. Agric. 29(3): 401-405 INTRODUCTION Genus Aphaereta Foerster is a moderately speciose genus in the tribe Alysiini with 39 species occurring world wide (Shenefelt, 1974; Wharton, 2002; Samiuddin et al 2008). The genus can be easily recognized by the: forewing vein (RS+M)a absent; F2 longer than F1; hairy mandibles, long and hairy ovipositor and the open subdiscal cell in the forewing. According to Wharton (2002) the genus is more closely related to Asobara. It can be separated by the absence of vein (RS+M)a on forewing while it is present Asobara. Aphaereta species are primary endoparasitoids of Anthomyiidae, Chloropida, Muscidae, Otitidae, Sarcophgidae and Tephritidae. Species of this genus are therefore of value in the natural and biological control of pest species in these families (Wharton, 1984). Wharton (1980) reviewed the Nearctic Alysiinae. Tobias (1995) provided key to 10 known species in Palearctic. Berry (2007) reviewed the Alysiinae of New Zealand and recorded two species including A. pallipes and A. aotae from the continent. Samiuddin et al., (2008) were the first to record the genus and three new species: viz: A. breviterebrata sp. nov., A. indica sp. nov. and A. minys sp. nov from India. In the present study Aphaereta pallipes (Say) is recorded for the first time from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province of Pakistan with new distributional records. This is also the first record for Pakistan. MATERIALS AND METHODS This study is part of a braconids survey in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province that started from 2001 to 2011. Different ecological zones were sampled ranging from 200 to 3000 meters above sea level. Collection of specimens was done using hand net, malaise traps and rearing of Dipterus larvae and pupae. Aphaereta specimens were sorted out and put in 50 % alcohol for twenty four hours. Specimens were then transferred to 95 % alcohol for two hours and then mounted on card points. Specimens were observed under a stereomicroscope with up to 300X magnification. Measurements were recorded using an ocular micrometer fitted in one eyepiece of microscope. Line drawings of forewing and ovipositor were drawn. The Comstock Needham system of wing vein nomenclature is followed. Terminology of wing vein nomenclature is that of Wharton (1997). Harris (1979) is followed for surface sculpturing. The following abbreviations are used: F1= first flageller segment. F2= second flageller segment. T1= petiole (first metasomal segment); IMAUP= Insect Museum, Agricultural University, Peshawar. Mian Inayatullah, et al. First record of genus aphaereta foerster (alysiinae: braconidae: hymenoptera)… 402 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Aphaereta pallipes (Say) Alysia pallipes Say.

In females T1 is yellow to orange, remaining metasomal segments with contrastingly dark brown. In males the colour of T1 is the same but remaining segments gradually becoming yellowish light brown. Distribution In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, this species is recorded from Swabi, Charsadda, Peshawar, Mingora and D. I. Khan. Outside Pakistan the species is recorded from USA, New Zealand, Australia, UK, Turkey and Mexico (Wharton, 1980; Berry, 2007; Hughes and Woolcock. 1976) Variations Recorded Majority of the specimens of Aphaereta pallipes (Say) found in the province tally with the descriptions provided by Berry (2007). However, the color of prothorax, and venter of metasoma are yellow in some specimens. Propodeum light reddish brown to dark brown. Flagellar segments 19-22 as against 19 to 23 in published descriptions. Rugosity of T1 also differs in some specimens. In the examined specimens densely rugose area is wider as compared published descriptions and illustrations. These variations however are minor and not consistent therefore the specimens cannot be described as new species Biology and Biological Control Potential In the present study this species was reared from Dipterous pupae. It was found that from a single pupa 0-5 parasitoids emerged. The overall parasitism was recorded to be 0-20 percent. In the present studies the parasitism was low as compared to 78 percent recorded by Houser and Wingo (1967) on Orthellia caesarion

  • Identification Key to the Subfamilies of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera)
    Identification key to the subfamilies of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) Gavin Broad Dept. of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK Notes on the key, February 2011 This key to ichneumonid subfamilies should be regarded as a test version and feedback will be much appreciated (emails to [email protected]). Many of the illustrations are provisional and more characters need to be illustrated, which is a work in progress. Many of the scanning electron micrographs were taken by Sondra Ward for Ian Gauld’s series of volumes on the Ichneumonidae of Costa Rica. Many of the line drawings are by Mike Fitton. I am grateful to Pelle Magnusson for the photographs of Brachycyrtus ornatus and for his suggestion as to where to include this subfamily in the key. Other illustrations are my own work. Morphological terminology mostly follows Fitton et al. (1988). A comprehensively illustrated list of morphological terms employed here is in development. In lateral views, the anterior (head) end of the wasp is to the left and in dorsal or ventral images, the anterior (head) end is uppermost. There are a few exceptions (indicated in figure legends) and these will rectified soon. Identifying ichneumonids Identifying ichneumonids can be a daunting process, with about 2,400 species in Britain and Ireland. These are currently classified into 32 subfamilies (there are a few more extralimitally). Rather few of these subfamilies are reconisable on the basis of simple morphological character states, rather, they tend to be reconisable on combinations of characters that occur convergently and in different permutations across various groups of ichneumonids.

  • Subfamily Gnamptodontinae
    SUBFAMILY GNAMPTODONTINAE M. J. SHARKEY1, R. A. WHARTON2 1. Hymenoptera Institute, 116 Franklin Ave., Redlands, California, USA, [email protected]. 2. Retired, formerly at Texas A&M University. INTRODUCTION. The subfamily Gnamptodontinae was established by van Achterberg (1983a) to accommodate a small group of species variously placed with the Opiinae, the Rogadinae (in the broad sense), or the Exothecinae (Marsh, 1979).There are three New World genera including Exodontiella Wharton, 1978 which was included in the Opiinae chapter in the last version of the Manual of New World Genera (Wharton et al., 1997). Two exclusively Old World genera, Gnaptogaster Tobias, 1976 and Neognamptodon Belokobylskij, 1999 are also included in the subfamily. The use of the names Gnamptodon Haliday and Gnamptodontinae (rather than the widely used Gnaptodon and Gnaptodontinae) is based on Opinion 1424 (1987) of the Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Van Achterberg (1983a), following Fischer (1972, 1977, 1981) provisionally included Liparophleps Enderlein (= Plesademon Fischer) in the Gnamptodontinae. However, Wharton (1997) confirmed the sexually dimorphic nature of the wing vein pattern, and concurred with Marsh (1976) that Liparophleps is a synonym of Semirhytus Szépligeti and belongs in Doryctinae. PHYLOGENY. The presence of Hagen's glands suggested a relationship to opiines (Buckingham and Sharkey, 1988), but gnamptodontines parasitize leaf-mining lepidopterans rather than cyclorrhaphous Diptera. Zaldívar-Riverón et al. (2006) recovered Gnamptodontinae in a clade consisting of Telengaiinae, Exothecinae, Alysiinae, Opiinae, and Braconinae in most analyses, with Gnamptodontinae and Telengaiinae resolved as sister taxa. Wharton et al. (2006) found Gnamptodontinae sister to either Braconinae or a clade consisting of Alysiinae, Opiinae, and Exothecinae.

G r i i t i t h s 1 The Alysiinae (Hym. Braconidae) parasites of the Agromyzidae (Diptera) VII. Supplement1 Witli 3 text figures Introduction The main body of information on the Alysiinae (mostly Dacnusini) as parasites of the Agromyzidae in Europe remains my 1964 — 68 series of papers in this journal under the title “The Alysiinae parasites of the Agromyzidae”. This treated the parasites of all genera of Agromyzidae except Phytobia L io y ( = Dendromyza H e n d e l ), whose larvae feed in the cambium of trees and have rarely been reared. The occasion of the deposition of my European collection of Alysiinae, on which my published work was partly based, in the British Museum (Natural History) prompts me to publish this supplement. Included are the descriptions of ten new species which were reared too late for inclusion in my previous work, together with additional rearing records which extend the known host range or geographical distribution of the parasite species. I have also given selective corrections of host records in cases where the nomenclatural changes resulting from recent research on agromyzid taxonomy may be confusing to hymenopterists. Also one case where my identification of a parasite requires correction has come to light. Since 1968 little additional information on the life-history of the Alysiinae as parasites of the Agromyzidae has been published. M ic h a e s k a (1973a, 1973b) has published a block of Polish records for 34 parasite and 28 host species.
