SUhlhlARY

In this paper we add 87 species of Chalcidoidea (Hynienoptera) to the faunal list of the Canary Islands, bringing the total nunibzr of recorded species to 228. Details of recent captures of some previously recorded species are also included and two new species, Mesopolobiis boriessi sp. n. (Pteromalidae) and Neochvsoclznris i.iiolcicea sp. n. (Eulophidae), are described. Key words: Hyrnenoptera, Chalcidoidea, Canary Islands

RESUhlEN

En el presente artículo se amplía la lista conocida de la superfamilia Chalcidoidea (Hymenoptera) en las Islas Canarias en 87 especies, alcanzando así este grupo un total de 225 especies. Se proporciona también información sobre las capturas de aquellas especies ya previamente conocidas en el archipiélago, y se describen dos nuevas especies: Mesopolobirs boiiessi n. sp. y h'eoclii?socliar-is ikdnceci n. sp.

ISTRODUCTION

Hynienoptera Chalcidoidea is a poorly Lnoun group in the fauna of the Canary Islands Following GARCIAMERCET'S ( 1923) paper, relatively few authors have dealt ivith chnicids in the archipelago: OTTEN ( 1910). AROZARENA(1966a. 1966b, 1978). BOC~CEK í1951. 1972). HEDQVIST(1969. 1974. 1977. 1978. 1979. 19s;). GIJSWJT(1984, 19901, GiJsu IJT & GR-\H-\sI(1 986).

Severa1 species have not yet been confidently or fullj. identified. and these are indicated by a query. assignnient to genus only or proxiniity to an allied forni which may or may not be conspecific.

The identity is que- ried because of the similarity of M. strobili to M. cannriensis Hedqvist, 1979, the latter being described from La Palma as a parasitoid of larvae of Cdlitearafortirnatn (Rogenhof- fer, 1891) (Lepidoptern, Lyrricintriidne). M.strobili is a pnmary or secondary parasitoid in moth and sawfly cocoons on coniferous trees. The specimen from Tenenfe conforms best to M. strobili in having the ovipositor only 1.2. times gaster length, scutellar frenum finely but entirely reticulate, and the first gastral tergite with faint alutaceous sculpture. *Podngrionella ?lichtensteini (Picard, 1933) Tenerife: Las Cañadas, Malaise trap, 1996, 48 d 29 9 (Camacho, A., Oro- mi, P.).

Male. Unknown. Holotype 9 . Fuerteirentiira. Tarajalejo, reared from gall of Cecidomyiidae on ?Zjgoplzjlluiti foiztnnesi. leg. 2.ii.. 1957. M. Boness. To be deposited in the Natural History Museum, London. Paratypes. 4 O 9,same data as holotype. Additional material. 2 9 9 icith heads missing, sanie data as holotype. M. borzessi is allied to M. s:elerrj.ii Boucek. 1974, the two species both having a dark fascia running from the parastigma of the forewing. a short postmarginal vein, short antenna and relatively broad head. M. boriessi may be distinguished from M. szeleriyii by its greenish thorax (dark violet in M. szelenyii) and clear yellow femora and tibiae (metallic and infuscate in szeleriyii), by its narrower gaster (only about 1.7 times as long as broad in sreleizjii) and by stronger sculpture on the lower face and mesoscutiim. The pronotal collar is shorter in M. borzessi-than in M. szelenyii, and has a weaker anterior carina. The new species has been compared with material of h.1. srelenjii collected in Spain (Zarago- za). The collection of cecidomyiid galls that produced M. borzessi also yielded M. rnncri- lipenriis (q.\v.). 1 have pleasure in narning this species after Dr Martin Boness who discovered it and kvho, over many years, has generously given me large numbers of chalcids that he has reared.
