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
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.

Wing pattern similar to that of M. punctipennis but the markings are more distinct and dark. The subapical dark spot extended to the tips of M 1 and M 2. Additional dark areas (not present in punctipennis) are along the apical parts of veins A 1, CuP, CuA 1, CuA 2 and above base of CuA 1. Vein A 1 reaching wing margin. Fore femur with a comb of short seteae medioventrally. Apical spurs on mid and hind tibia absent. Gonocoxites fused only basally. Cerci and proctiger different from those of M. berentiana (cf. Fig. 5 and 16; figures by Matile 1990 of the terminalia of M. punctipennis are not detailed enough). Gonostylus relatively broad with a short dark apex and with numerous long setae. Contours of gonostylus rather similar to that of M. punctipennis (cf. figs 417–418 of Matile 1990). Description. Male. Measurements in mm (holotype): body length 6.2, wing length 3.80, wing width 1.27 (ratio of length to width 2.99). Head. Blackish brown. Compound eyes large, covering almost all the head from lateral view, shortly pubescent. Cerebral sclerite separated from the frons by a membraneous area reaching laterally above the eyes. Anterior edge of cerebral sclerite medially slightly excavated. Three ocelli in triangular position on anterior half of cerebral sclerite. Distinct sagittal furrow in its posterior half. Antenna with 14 flagellomeres, of which the basal 10 flagellomeres are bicoloured (Figs 12, 13), with apical halves dark. Scape and pedicel similar to those of M. berentiana. Flagellomeres 1 to 9 normal, long, cylindrical (i.e. not compressed laterally), flagellomere 10 narrowing apically, flagellomeres 11 to 14 remarkably thin, narrowing gradually. Flagellum with several setae distinctly longer than the width of the flagellum, particularly so for the apical ones. Palpus (Fig. 14) with first palpomere much longer than broad and third palpomere rather globular, i.e. about as long as broad. Thorax. All blackish brown. Scutum with two rows of dorsocentral setae and laterally with prealar and postalar setae. Scutellum dark brown, with a transverse row of fine subapical setae, without long apical bristles. Mediotergite and laterotergite bare. Anepisternum with a dense patch of setae along the anterodorsal margin. Preepisternum 2 bare, dark brown with the upper third pale. Anepimeron small, bare, not reaching between preepisternum 2 and laterotergite. Haltere mostly dark brown, its basal half yellowish. Wing. Hyaline, with distinct dark markings. Membrane covered with microtrichia, without macrotrichia. A dark transverse band in the apical part of wing, reaching from the tip of R 5 to M 1 and M 2 (Fig. 11). A large dark spot over R 4 and two smaller ones on proximal third of both M 1 and M 2. Further dark markings on the branches of Cu and around r-m fusion. C produced beyond R 5 to 3 / 5 of the distance of the tips of R 5 and M 1. Costa, R 1 and R 5 covered with macrotrichia. R 1 ending in C at about half of the length of wing. Radio-median fusion light but traceable. Basal portion of media developed. CuA 1 approaching CuA 2 bellow r-m fusion. CuP fold-like, distinct, long but not reaching wing margin, dark in its distal third. Vein A 1 strong, dark in distal half, reaching wing margin. Legs. Relatively long and narrow, bicoloured (Fig. 10). All coxae and trochanters blackish brown. C 1 covered with setae mainly on front side, C 2 with several setae apically and C 3 with several fine posterolateral setae. Hind coxa widens towards its base. Femora sparsely clothed with fine trichia, not longer than maximum width of femur. Fore femur whitish, darkened only apically, bearing a distinct comb of short seteae medioventrally. Mid and hind femur darkened at distal half. All tibiae light brown with blackish tips, covered with numerous short trichia arranged irregularly. The apex of fore tibia widened, without distinct anteroapical depressed area. Fore tibia with one apical spur, as long as maximum tibial diameter. Both mid and hind tibia apically without spurs, at most with several slightly longer trichia. The first tarsomere slightly longer than tibia in all legs. Abdomen. Almost all brownish black (Fig. 10). Tergites 3 and 4 laterally with a white spot near the anterior margin. Terminalia dark with light gonostyli. Terminalia (Figs 15–20) are rather specific. Tergite 9 (Fig. 15) much broader than long, anterior margin strongly concave. Anterolateral edges with medially curved processes (Figs 15–16). Tergite 9 with several long marginal and discal setae. Cerci and proctiger: apical part not divided, only the short setae may show its original paired structure. Two large basal setose plates present, where the setae are directed medially. Gonocoxites (Fig. 17) fused on a short basal section only, medially with a large opening (less apparent in some paratypes, but this may be due to unequal clearing in KOH) and a pair of large widely rounded well-sclerotised processes, which meet sagittally. Gonocoxal apodeme rather thin (Fig. 19), connecting sclerite without any posterior processes. Gonostylus (Fig. 18) rather broad with a short dark rather sharp apex and with numerous long setae. Inner genitalia (Figs 19- 20) peculiar with 3 sclerites with microscopic longitudinal lines (sagittal one may be the distiphallus). Female. Unknown. Biology. Unknown. The type specimens were captured at light in limestone forests of northern Vietnam. Etymology. The specific name (adjective) is a wordplay—a combination of “ panda “ and “ fantastica “, referring to the unusual coloration of the new species.Published as part of Ševčík, Jan & Papp, László, 2011, New Afrotropical and Oriental species of Micrepimera Matile (Diptera: Keroplatidae), pp. 58-66 in Zootaxa 3128 on pages 61-65, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20240
