A revision of the Bracon Fabricius species in Wesmael’s collection deposited in Brussels (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Braconinae)
No full textAn account of the taxonomic position of the genus Bracon Fabricius, 1804 is presented. In his monograph Wesmael (1838: 7-58) made a survey of 48 nominal species of Bracon occurring in Belgium. Out of the 48 species thirty-seven were described by Wesmael himself as new species, eleven more species had previously been described by Fabricius (three species), Nees (seven species) and Spinola (one species). The Bracon material studied by Wesmael is deposited in the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, Brussels. Type (holo-, lecto-, paralectotype) designations are made for Wesmael’s species and neotype designations for Nees sensu Wesmael’s species. Redescriptions, comments on distributions and their taxonomic positions are presented. Palpibracon subgen. nov. is established (type species Bracon delibator Haliday, 1833) for fi ve Bracon species with long maxillary palpi in the Holarctic (four species) and Ethiopian Region (one species). The following fifteen Bracon species names proved to be junior synonyms (valid names in italics): B. dichromus Wesmael, 1838 = B. carpaticus Niezabitowski, 1910 syn. nov.; B. erraticus Wesmael, 1838 = B. bellicosus Papp, 1971 syn. nov., = B. exarator Marshall, 1885 syn. nov., = B. praetermissus Marshall, 1885 syn. nov., B. vectensis Marshall, 1885 syn. nov.; B. fuscicornis Wesmael, 1838 = B. levicarinatus Niezabitowski, 1910 syn. nov.; B. immutator Nees, 1834 = B. breviusculus Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov.; B. intercessor Nees, 1834 = B. laetus Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov.; B. larvicida Wesmael, 1838 = B. crassiusculus Szépligeti, 1901 syn. nov.; B. longicollis Wesmael, 1838 = B. subcylindricus Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov.; B. megapterus Wesmael, 1838 = B. biimpressus Telenga, 1936 syn. nov.; B. nigratus Wesmael, 1838 = B. orbicularis Niezabitowski, 1910 syn. nov.; B. osculator Nees, 1811 = B. coniferarum Fahringer, 1927 (Schmiedeknecht in litt.) syn. nov.; B. picticornis Wesmael, 1838 = B. vitripennis Ratzeburg, 1852 syn. nov.; B. titubatus Wesmael, 1838 = B. fuscipennis Wesmael, 1838 syn. nov. The species Bracon (Lucobracon) turolus Papp, 1984 is revalidated (suppressed under the name B. (Glabrobracon) nigriventris Wesmael, 1838 by Tobias & Belokobylskij 2000: 162). A historic discussion of the subgeneric division of the Bracon species is given

Antenna with 28 antennomeres. Head in dorsal view 1.8 times as broad as long, temple somewhat longer than eye (Fig. 8). Forewing: pterostigma 2.6 times as long as wide (Fig. 12). Hind femur 3.3 times as long as broad medially (Fig. 11). Legs whitish to pale yellow. Deviating features of the female: Body 3.2 mm long. Antenna with 29 antennomeres. Forewing: r short though distinct, 3-SR 0.8 times as long as 2-SR. Ovipositor sheath short, as long as hind tibia + basitarsus combined. Legs whitish to pale yellow. Host unknown.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Manota mirifica Hippa & Papp, 2007, sp. n.
No full textManota mirifica sp. n. (Figs 8 A, B, C) Body light brown, length ca. 2.1 mm (holotype), ca. 2.1–2.5 mm (paratypes), wing length 1.57 mm (holotype), 1.55-1.65 mm (paratypes). Male. Head. Flagellomere 4 1.3 times as long as broad with 0.03 mm long trichia. Postocular setae brown, comparatively short and thick. Thorax. Anepisternum setose. Anterior basalare non-setose. Setae of preepisternum 2 not observed. Laterotergite with scattered setae. Setae of episternum 3 not observed. Legs yellow but apex of hind femur and base of hind tibia brown and tarsi slightly darkened. Wing. Wing membrane brownish, dorsally without setae at posterior margin. Sc distally of h setose. Ratio of visible sections of veins M 1 and M 2 40 / 78 (holotype), 38 / 70 (paratype). A 1 indicated by a few setae. Hypopygium (Figs 8 A, B, C). Tergite 9 about one-third of the ventral length of gonostylus, laterally sharply delimited, anterior margin deeply incised, the setae similar to the ventral setae of the gonocoxa. Ventral mesial margin of gonocoxa slightly angled at the level of the posterior margin of tergite 9. Parastylar lobe unusually large, long and narrow, extending from the base of gonostylus to near the apex of sternite 9, with a few to many setae at margin and directed obliquely posteriad. Paraapodemal lobe distinct, well exposed in ventral view. Dorsal mesial margin of gonocoxa simple, with a small setose subapical lobe. Two juxtagonostylar setae present: one flattened megaseta and a strong seta arising from a common basal body the length of which is about half the length of the megaseta. Gonostylus simple, narrowly elongate-oval with rather long unmodified setae. Tegmen subtriangular with the apex narrow and asymmetrical, the lateral shoulders weak. Hypoproct large, extending posteriorly scarcely more than to the base of gonostylus, with ca. 25 setae on each half. Cerci medially separate. Female unknown. Discussion. The hypopygium of M. mirifica is not similar to that of any other described species. It is distinguished by the asymmetrical apical part of the tegmen and by the long stripe-like parastylar lobe, which parallels the ventral mesial margin of the gonocoxa. This type of long parastylar lobe is quite different from the long one in M. forceps because here it is actually the base of the lobe which is unusually wide. Types. Holotype.

Tergite 9 extending posteriorly as far as the ventral part of gonocoxa, laterally fused with gonocoxa except at extreme apex, anterior margin with a rather shallow incision, the setae similar to those on gonocoxa. Parastylar lobe very large, almost the size of gonostylus, with 3–4 posteriorly directed setae. Paraapodemal lobe indistinct, not visible in ventral view. Dorsal mesial margin of gonocoxa sigmoid, partly covering a large lobe with ca. 10 blunt-ended megasetae on margin. One juxtagonostylar seta present: it is a normal seta arising from a basal body, which is broad and shorter than the seta. Gonostylus rather small, with long setae, apically with a few stronger setae arising from a weak lobe. Tegmen elongate-triangular, with sloping lateral shoulders. Hypoproct large, parallel-sided, extending posteriorly almost as far as gonostylus, with ca. 30 scattered setae.

These two species differ from <i>M. dentata</i> by having the megasetae not flattened but narrow and pointed, and they have a flattened juxtagonostylar megaseta on the gonocoxa, unlike <i>M. dentata</i> which has only an unmodified normal seta in the homologous position.</p> <p> <b>Types.</b> <i>Holotype</i>.

Paraapodemal lobe indistinct, not visible in ventral view. Dorsal mesial margin of gonocoxa submedially with an indistinct lobe with a few setae and more apically with a larger posteriorly directed lobe, which is rather broadly setose apically and on the mesial side. One juxtagonostylar seta present: a megaseta which is flattened and widens towards the apex and arises from a low basal body which is scarcely one-fourth of the length of megaseta. Gonostylus about two-and-a-half times as long as broad, evenly broad beyond the narrower base, apical margin slightly emarginate, setosity moderately long, rather unmodified.
