No full textJethsura serpentina sp. nov. Fig. 9, 12 urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 8007935D-B445-499E-93D2-888B5EAE9AF5 Diagnosis. Jethsura serpentina and a putative undescribed species from Valle de Frailejón in Chingaza National Natural Park (Jethsura sp. X) are both characterized by an elongated habitus, broad mandible, and laterally compressed mesosoma. As such, they are easily differentiated from other Jethsura species. Jethsura serpentina is distinguished from Jethsura sp. X by the entirely smooth and coarsely punctate mesopleuron. A few punctures are nearly confluent and form very weak rugulae but the mesopleuron is never longitudinally rugulose as in Jethsura sp. X. Description. Female (Fig. 9A–H). Body length: 8.9–9.4 mm; fore wing length: 5.1–5.4 mm. Color. Primarily black with few yellow and yellowish-white markings and partially brownish legs. Head black, except for mandibular apex dark brownish-red, light yellowish along either entire length of medial paraocular area (25% of specimens) or interrupted ventral to antenatal base (50% of specimens) or absent ventral to antennal base (25% of specimens), and light yellowish ovoid to subtriangular marks at dorsolateral and venterolateral corners of paraocular area. Antenna: scape and pedicel black; flagellum black to dark brown basally, apical ¾ reddish-brown ventrally. Mesosoma black, except for the dorsal margin of pronotum, tegula, and subalar prominence yellowishwhite, 25% of specimens with anterolateral yellowish-white marks on scutellum. Legs: coxae and trochanters black, 75% of specimens with fore and mid coxae brownish anterolaterally; femora dark reddish-brown with bases and apices light brown and apical 0.3–0.4 of fore and mid femora yellowish-brown anteriorly; tibiae brownish-red to reddish-brown with fore and mid tibiae lighter anteriorly; fore and mid tarsi brownish-red to reddish-brown; hind tarsomeres 1–4 reddish-brown to brownish-red and tarsomere 5 dark reddish-brown with bases yellowish-white becoming reduced toward apical tarsomeres. MS1 black. T2–varying from primarily black with minor, mottled light reddish-brown marks laterally to narrowly black dorsally and laterally light reddish-brown with mottled black marks. Wing: membrane clear; basal 0.2 of wing with veins white, remaining sections brown. Head. Distinctly longer than wide, not tapering ventrally. Mandible broad (MI: ~2.1×). Clypeus and supraclypeal area slightly convex in lateral view. Clypeus smooth and coarsely, sparsely punctate with punctures separated by 1.0–4.0× their diameter. Supraclypeal area smooth and coarsely punctate with 0.5–2.0× their diameter. Gena smooth and finely, sparsely punctate with punctures separated by 3.0–6.0× their diameter. Supra-antennal are smooth and finely punctate with punctures separated by 0.5–1.0× their diameter. Vertex smooth and finely, sparsely punctate with punctures separated by 3.0–5.0× their diameter. Antenna with 23–24 flagellomeres. Mesosoma. Narrow, elongated and laterally flattened. Dorsal 0.6 of pronotum smooth and finely, sparely punctate with punctures denser at margins, anterior 0.4 rugulose. Propleuron smooth and finely, sparsely punctate with punctures separated by 3.0–6.0× their diameter. Mesonotum smooth, very finely, sparsely punctate anteromedially, punctation denser and coarser laterally and especially dorsomedially. Scutellum smooth and sparsely punctate with punctures separated by 2.0–5.0× their diameter. Mesopleuron smooth and punctation varying from sparse and fine anterodorsally becoming coarse and dense ventrally and posteroventrally to relatively coarse throughout with some punctures forming weak rugulae and denser ventrally and posteroventrally. Speculum smooth with at most a few scattered punctures. Ventral division of metapleuron smooth and coarsely, sparsely punctate anterodorsally becoming densely punctate posteroventrally. Propodeum: narrow and elongate, 1.4× as long as wide; dorsal face strongly rounded transversely, surface sculpture smooth dorsally becoming coarsely punctate laterally and rugulose-punctate posterolaterally; posterior face densely rugulose-punctate; carinae obsolete. Legs short. Hind femur anteroposteriorly flattened. Metasoma. MS1 anteriorly smooth and impunctate, postpetiole smooth and with a few scattered punctures medially becoming sparsely to moderately punctate laterally. T2 smooth and finely to moderately punctate with punctures separated by 0.5–2.0× their diameter becoming sparser laterally and posteriorly. T3+ smooth and densely, finely punctate becoming obsolete posteriorly. Gastrocoelus shallow to moderately deep. Thyridium narrow, 0.5× as wide as interthyridial width; distant from T2 anterior margin by 2.0–2.5× thyridial length. Male. Unknown. Material examined. Holotype: Colombia • 1♀; Boyaca, SFF Iguaque, Lagunillas; 3380m; 5°25’N, 73°27’W; 09–24.ii.2001; P. Reina; M. 1272; IAVH. Paratypes: Colombia • 1♀; same collection data as holotype • 1♀; same collection data as holotype; EMUSENT000003704 • 1♀; same collection data as holotype; 09–28.iii.2001; M.1511. Distribution. Known only from type locality (Fig. 12). Etymology. The species name is from the Latin adjective “ sepentinus ” meaning serpent-like and refers to the somewhat snake-like habitus. Comments. The male of J. serpentina is unknown but could presumably be easily associated with the female at the type locality since J. serpentina and the putative undescribed species, Jethsura sp. X, are allopatric. Also, presumably the male of J. serpentina would be considerably elongated as in the female which would readily distinguish it from J. euthenia males.Published as part of Claridge, Brandon, 2021, Revision of the genus Jethsura Cameron, 1902 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ichneumoninae: Phaeogenini), pp. 223-241 in Zootaxa 5071 (2) on pages 236-238, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5071.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/572356

All but one specimen was collected at the type locality in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Natural Park (PNN Santa Marta) (Fig. 12). The only specimen not from this locality was apparently collected in the Iguaque Flora and Fauna Sanctuary (SFF Iguaque) which was extensively sampled by Malaise trapping for several years. Due to the geographic isolation of the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range and the high levels of endemicity in the native fauna (Todd & Carriker 1922; Hernández-Camacho et al. 1992), the record from SFF Iguaque is suspect and has been excluded from the distribution map. It may be the result of mislabeling during mounting or mishandling the Malaise trap samples. Alternatively, the specimen may have indeed been collected in SFF Iguaque which further sampling of the region could corroborate. Etymology. The species name refers to the type locality and honors the indigenous Kogi community that live within the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta National Natural Park. Specifically Gonawindua is the place name used for Pico Cristóbal Colón and a general term for the surrounding region by the Kogi people.Published as part of Claridge, Brandon, 2021, Revision of the genus Jethsura Cameron, 1902 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ichneumoninae: Phaeogenini), pp. 223-241 in Zootaxa 5071 (2) on pages 228-231, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5071.2.3, http://zenodo.org/record/572356

Jethsura euthenia is similar to J. gonawindua, both being overall black and with the mesosoma not laterally flattened. The black mandible with a dark reddish apex is sufficient to distinguish J. euthenia from the latter species which has a brown to light brown mandible with a dark brown apex. Additionally the head morphology differs significantly between the two species. In anterior view, the head in J. euthenia is slightly longer and tapers ventrally and the clypeus and supraclypeal area are slightly convex in profile. In males, however, the differences in head morphology are less pronounced. Description. Female (Fig. 1A–H). Body length: 6.9–8.1 mm; fore wing length: 4.4–4.9 mm. Color.

Review of the parasitoid wasp genus \u3cem\u3eCratichneumon\u3c/em\u3e Thomson (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) from Arizona\u27s Sky Islands, with descriptions of eleven new species
No full textWe review the parasitoid wasp genus Cratichneumon Thomson (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ichneumoninae) from the Madrean Archipelago of southeastern Arizona and describe 11 new species: C. antichromus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. arussatus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. elongatus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. fossorius Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. igniferus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. luteus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. permagnus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. scabriculus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. symmixtus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. tetragonops Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., and C. warneri Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov. Cratichneumon russatus (Cresson, 1877) syn. nov. is proposed as a junior synonym of C. astutus (Holmgren, 1868). New distribution records are presented for C. arizonensis (Viereck, 1905), C. astutus (Holmgren, 1868), and C. flaschkai Heinrich, 1973, extending their range far into the Sierra Madre Occidental in Mexico. Despite the present advances, there are still significant unresolved questions. For instance, the females of 3 species remain unidentified, no biological information is known for any of the species, and our knowledge of the distribution of all species is undoubtedly highly fragmentary. The discovery of so many unknown Cratichneumon species in Arizona highlights the paucity of our knowledge of Ichneumoninae in western North America.Aquí revisamos el género Cratichneumon Thomson (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Ichneumoninae) del archipiélago Madrense del sureste de Arizona y describen once nuevas especies: C. antichromus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. arussatus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. elongatus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. fossorius Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. igniferus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. luteus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. permagnus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. scabriculus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. symmixtus Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., C. tetragonops Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov., y C. warneri Claridge & Helcoski sp. nov. También, C. russatus (Cresson, 1877) se propone como sinónimo junior de C. astutus (Holmgren, 1868). Se presentan nuevos registros de distribución para C. arizonensis (Viereck, 1905), C. astutus (Holmgren, 1868), y C. flaschkai Heinrich, 1973, extendiendo su área de distribución hasta la Sierra Madre Occidental en México. A pesar de los avances actuales, todavía existen importantes preguntas sin resolver. Por ejemplo, las hembras de tres especies siguen sin identificar, no se conoce información biológica de ninguna de las especies y nuestro conocimiento sobre la distribución de todas las espécies es sin duda sumamente fragmentario. El descubrimiento de tantos de especies desconocido de Cratichneumon en Arizona destaca la escasez de nuestro conocimiento de Ichneumoninae en el oeste de América del Norte
