[ISSN 0040-74961. Published 1 December 1989. Cryprur dzunae Gravenhorst, 1829 rofivagztr subsp. nov. is described from Tenerife. A rede- scriprion of the holotype of Cryprus obscuripes Zettersredt, 1838 is given and the species is acknowledged to be distinct. C. obscuriper impeditur subsp. nov. is described from Tenerife, Palma and Gomera. The lectotype of Cvptus nigritarrir Kriechbaumer, 1894 from Tenerife is redescribed. More specimens from Tenerife, only males, were found. Four new species are described, viz., Cryptus praefortir from Tenerife and Gomera. Cryptur uftramondanur from Lanzarote, Cryptur znsulrtrir from Fuerteventura and Cryprus furws from Gran Canaria. Keys to the Cryptus males and females from the Canary Islands are given.

  • 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.

A total of 4982 specimens be­ longing to 475 different species \vere collected.

The abundance of the wasp fauna was rather high ( 1120 ± 53 in d. m- a- I ( 1986) and 2 1 335 ± 42 ind. m - a- ( 1988).

  • Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) As Biological Control Agents of Pests
    Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) As Biological Control Agents Of Pests A Bibliography Hassan Ghahari Department of Entomology, Islamic Azad University, Science & Research Campus, P. O. Box 14515/775, Tehran – Iran; [email protected] Preface The Ichneumonidae is one of the most species rich families of all organisms with an estimated 60000 species in the world (Townes, 1969). Even so, many authorities regard this figure as an underestimate! (Gauld, 1991). An estimated 12100 species of Ichneumonidae occur in the Afrotropical region (Africa south of the Sahara and including Madagascar) (Townes & Townes, 1973), of which only 1927 have been described (Yu, 1998). This means that roughly 16% of the afrotropical ichneumonids are known to science! These species comprise 338 genera. The family Ichneumonidae is currently split into 37 subfamilies (including, Acaenitinae; Adelognathinae; Agriotypinae; Alomyinae; Anomaloninae; Banchinae; Brachycyrtinae; Campopleginae; Collyrinae; Cremastinae; Cryptinae; Ctenopelmatinae; 1 Diplazontinae; Eucerotinae; Ichneumoninae; Labeninae; Lycorininae; Mesochorinae; Metopiinae; Microleptinae; Neorhacodinae; Ophioninae; Orthopelmatinae; Orthocentrinae; Oxytorinae; Paxylomatinae; Phrudinae; Phygadeuontinae; Pimplinae; Rhyssinae; Stilbopinae; Tersilochinae; Tryphoninae; Xoridinae) (Yu, 1998). The Ichneumonidae, along with other groups of parasitic Hymenoptera, are supposedly no more species rich in the tropics than in the Northern Hemisphere temperate regions (Owen & Owen, 1974; Janzen, 1981; Janzen & Pond, 1975), although

    BICONUS IN PERI0, WITH NOTICE OF AN ENDEMIC SPECIES FROM THE COASTAL DESERT (HYMENOPTERA: ICHNEUMONIDAE). BY CHARLES C. PORTER Department of Biological Sciences, Fordham University Bronx, NY 10458 INTRODUCTION Taxonomy and Relationships Townes (1969:178-9) places Biconus in his Subtribe Ischnina (Ischnus, Trachysphyrus and allied mesostenine genera), where he considers it related to Chromocryptus2, Cryptopteryx, and Tra- chysphyrus. Biconus, however, shows some features unapproached or rarely approximated by members of the preceding genera. These characters include absence of tyloids on the male flagellum, medially bituberculate clypeus, profoundly cleft female 4th tarso- mere, and tendency for loss or reduction of the brachiella vein. I remain uncertain as to the affinities of Biconus. Comparative analy- sis of mesostenine genera in all parts of the world probably will be necessary to clarify this problem. COLLECTIONS Specimens of Biconus have been or are to be deposited in the following institutional and personal collections. CAMBRIDGE.

  • Status of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) in Cuba
    Status of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) in Cuba José L. Fernández Triana1, Horacio Grillo Ravelo2 & Mabel López3 1 Centro Oriental de Ecosistemas y Biodiversidad, Departamento de Zoología, Santiago de Cuba; [email protected] 2 Centro de Investigaciones Agropecuarias, Universidad Central de Las Villas, Santa Clara, Cuba. 3 Centro de Investigaciones en Ecosistemas Costeros, Cayo Coco, Ciego de Ávila, Cuba. Received 02-VI-2002. Corrected 16-VI-2004. Accepted 26-I-2005. Abstract: Current understanding of Cuban ichneumonids (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) is analysed. A new Subfamily (Tersilochinae) including 13 genera and two species are first reports for Cuba. In contrast with Braconidae, the sister group, the ichneumonids are poorly known because of the lack of local taxonomists and bacause nets, rather than interception, light and yellow pan traps have been used. Using Ophioninae as a reference, and comparing the percentage of ophionines in the fauna of Costa Rican ichneumonids, the ratio of species of Costa Rican to Cuban Ophioninae and the increase in the number of described Cuban ophionines, we suggest that actual Cuban biodiversity in this group may be between 400 and 600 species.
