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. -

We evaluated the species concept for a common generalist moth occurring in New Guinea and Australia, Homona mermerodes, in light of host plant records and mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase I haplotype diversity. Genetic divergence among H. mermerodes moths feeding on different host tree species was much lower than among several Homona species. Genetic divergence between haplotypes from New Guinea and Australia was also less than interspecific divergence. Whereas molecular species identification methods may reveal cryptic species in some generalist herbivores, these same methods may confirm polyphagy when identical haplotypes are reared from multiple host plant families. A lectotype for the species is designated, and a summarized bibliography and illustrations including male genitalia are provided for the first time. -

Keys for Nocturnal Workshop April 2018
Keys for the identification of British and Irish nocturnal Ichneumonidae Gavin R. Broad Dept. of Life Sciences, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD; email: [email protected] Introduction These notes and draft keys support the Nocturnal Ichneumonoidea Recording Scheme (http://nocturnalichs.myspecies.info/), concentrating on Ichneumonidae. The main emphasis here is on the species of Ophioninae, a subfamily of predominantly nocturnal species, and on the species of Netelia. The keys and notes presented here are mostly rather rough and ready, although keys to Cidaphus and Enicospilus are taken from published papers. Some illlustrations have been copied from published sources: Ophion from Brock (1982), Cidaphus from Fitton (1985), Enicospilus from Broad & Shaw (2016) and Netelia (Netelia) from Konishi (2005). Kazuhiko Konishi has also kindly sent me a draft plate with his drawings of Netelia (Bessobates) male genitalia, based on British specimens. A few of my own images are included. Figures are numbered independently for each key. Dichotomous characters are listed first, confirmatory characters that are not reflected in the other half of the couplet are placed in square brackets. It is important to bear in mind that many species of Ophion and Netelia are not identifiable by single characters, instead several characters need to be evaluated in combination. The more specimens that you’ve amassed, the better, as it will then be easier to compare character states across species. These keys are not intended for formal publication in their current state but please do send this to anybody who may be interested in learning more about nocturnal ichneumonoids. -

Introduction Afrotropical region (Yu 1998). Ichneumonids utilise a diverse array of insects and arachnids as their hosts and The Ichneumonidae are one of the most species-rich play an essential role in the normal functioning of most families of all organisms with an estimated 60,000 ecosystems, underlining the need to inventory their species in the world (Townes 1969). -
The Phylogeny and Evolutionary Biology of the Pimplinae (Hymenoptera : Ichneumonidae)
THE PHYLOGENY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY OF THE PIMPLINAE (HYMENOPTERA : ICHNEUMONIDAE) Paul Eggleton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London Department of Entomology Department of Pure & Applied B ritish Museum (Natural H istory) Biology, Imperial College London London May 1989 ABSTRACT £ The phylogeny and evolutionary biology of the Pimplinae are investigated using a cladistic compatibility method. Cladistic methodology is reviewed in the introduction, and the advantages of using a compatibility method explained. Unweighted and weighted compatibility techniques are outlined. The presently accepted classification of the Pimplinae is investigated by reference to the diagnostic characters used by earlier workers. The Pimplinae do not form a natural grouping using this character set. An additional 22 new characters are added to the data set for a further analysis. The results show that the Pimplinae (sensu lato) form four separate and unconnected lineages. It is recommended that the lineages each be given subfamily status. Other taxonomic changes at tribal level are suggested. The host and host microhabitat relations of the Pimplinae (sensu s tr ic to ) are placed within the evolutionary framework of the analyses of morphological characters. The importance of a primitive association with hosts in decaying wood is stressed, and the various evolutionary pathways away from this microhabitat discussed. The biology of the Rhyssinae is reviewed, especially with respect to mating behaviour and male reproductive strategies. The Rhyssinae (78 species) are analysed cladistically using 62 characters, but excluding characters thought to be connected with mating behaviour. Morphometric studies show that certain male gastral characters are associated with particular mating systems. -

Careful and accurate identification and classification of organisms are of vital importance so that the extents of their harmful and beneficial properties are established. Since some of the members of tribe Archipini are pests of various crops, so this study was conducted with the aim to identify, describe, name and classify these species and also prepare illustrated diagnostic keys for their quick and authentic identification and efficient management. -

Lissonota lineolaris Body parts Ephialtes manifestator Tromatobia lineatoria (females only) Taking good photos of them Perithous scurra (females only) Do I have an ichneumonid? Apechthis compunctor (females only) Pimpla rufipes (black slip wasp. females only) Which type of ichneumonid do I have? Rhyssa persuasoria (sabre wasp) Large and/or colourful species Possible confusions - Lissonata setosa Amblyjoppa fuscipennis Nocturnal, orange-bodied species – sickle wasps Amblyjoppa proteus Enicospilus ramidulus Achaius oratorius Ophion obscuratus Amblyteles armatorius Opheltes glaucopterus Ichneumon sarcitorius Netelia tarsata Ichneumon xanthorius Possible confusions - Ophion luteus Ichneumon stramentor Wing comparison Callajoppa cirrogaster and Callajoppa exaltatoria Others Possible confusions - Ichneumon suspiciosus Alomya debellator Acknowledgements Further reading 2 Introduction Ichneumonids, species of the family Ichneumonidae, are difficult to identify because so many look similar. Identifications are usually made using tiny features only visible under a microscope, which Subfamily Species makes the challenge even harder. This guide attempts to allow beginners to name 22 of the most Alomyinae Alomya debellator identifiable or most frequently encountered species from eight of the 32 subfamilies in Britain. It is Banchinae Lissonota lineolaris not a comprehensive guide but intended as an introduction, using characters that are often visible in Lissonata setosa photos or in the field. Ctenopelmatinae Opheltes glaucopterus For a more detailed guide, Gavin Broad’s Identification Key to the Subfamilies of Ichneumonidae is a Ichneumoninae Amblyjoppa fuscipennis good introduction for people who have a microscope or very good hand lens.
