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

Papp 2011”; 7) [reverse code label of MRAC] RMCA ENT 000016277. Some of its setae displaced or broken off, wings stuck together. Paratype male (MRAC, abdomen and genitalia removed and kept in a plastic microvial with glycerol): 1) PARATYPUS m; 2)–3): same as on HT; 4) “ Paracollinella Basilewskyi n. sp. det. P. Vanschuytbroek [sic!] [handwriting with fine pen, P. V.]; 5) “ Rachispoda basilewskyi (Vanschuytbroeck, 1962) L. Papp 2011 ”. It is without head but otherwise well-preserved. This species is obviously a member of the R. fuscipennis group of Rachispoda. Foremost pair of dorsocentrals medially curved, scutellum with 8 larger and several short (mainly lateral marginal) setae. Facial plate bulging, bulbous prominent between antennae. Three strong pairs of interfrontal setae plus some short ones. I was able to detect 3 acrostichal macrochaetae. Discal cell with distinct posteroapical corner, paratype with minute vein stub there. Mid tibia with long ventral posteroapical bristle (similar to that of the Leptocera nigra species group). Ventral preapical seta of mid tibia much longer and thicker than ventral metatarsal seta. Hind tibia anterodorsally and posterodorsally with numerous long setae. A study of the male genitalia of the paratype confirmed that this species belongs to the Rachispoda fuscipennis species group. Known only from the type locality (Tanzania).Published as part of Papp, L., 2012, A Review Of The Afrotropical Species Of Leptocera Olivier (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae), pp. 225-258 in Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 58 (3) on pages 252-253, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.573588

Outer orbit (of eye) rusty, pronotum and lateral lobe of mesoscutum with faint rusty suffusion. Male and host unknown. Distribution – Colombia, Venezuela. Taxonomic position – Since SCHULZ’ s synonymization (l.c.) the name A. lagopus was suppressed as conspecific with M. hirtipes (SHENEFELT 1978). The examination of the holotypes of the two taxa, M. hirtipes and M. lagopus albeit very near to each other, shows two valid species. Their distinction is presented as follows: 1 (2) Second submarginal cell long, 3–SR twice as long as 2–SR (Fig. 71). Hind femur with long hairs (Fig. 69). Temple in dorsal view less rounded (Fig. 67). Fore wing: proximal half of subhyaline, distal half brown fumous. ♀:? 8 mm M. hirtipes BRULLÉ, 1846 2 (1) Second submarginal cell less long, 3–SR 1.6 times as long as 2–SR (Fig. 79). Hind femur with less long hairs (Fig. 77). Temple in dorsal view receded (Figs 75, 82). Fore wing evenly brown fumous. ♀: 8–8.5 mm M. lagopus (KRIECHBAUMER, 1900) The species is also near to M. rubriventre, for their distinction see key-couplets 8 (9)–9 (8).Published as part of Papp, J., 2012, A Taxonomic Study Of The Myosoma Genus-Group With Description Of Amyosoma Cavei Sp.

Mid tibia with a long thick anterior seta at 5/8, anterodorsals at 3/20 (small), ¼ (short), 31/80 (longer), 55/80 (short) and 7/8 (very strong); posterodorsals at 18/80 (short), 2/8 and 46/80 (slightly longer) and 66/80 (long). No mid ventral or ventroapical setae on mid tibia but apex with 5–6 medium long and slightly curved setae. No long setae or hairs on ventral half of male mid tibia but hairs slightly thicker ventrally. Dorsal half of male hind tibia with short thick sharp spiniform setae (Fig. 33). In both males and females only the anteroventral row of setae is strong on mid basitarsus; only 2 or 3 posteroventral setae present and only thin normal setae are in the anterior row. Female mid tibia with distinct though not long ventroapical seta. Dorsal half of female hind tibia all along with thicker long setae, longer than half of tibial diameter. Abdominal tergites with narrow light caudal marginal bands and a pair of dark silvery lateral spots on tergites 2 to 5 in males and 2 to 6 in females. Male abdominal tergite 1 is comparatively well sclerotised, desclerotised only on a narrow sagittal line and on a transverse and not long medial section bordering tergite 2. Male tergite 2 not desclerotised at all. Tergite 3 to 5 broad, dark with rather short thick black setae. Male sternites 2 to 4 rather normal, c. 0.35 mm broad (compared to the more than 1.5–1.6 mm broad tergite 3), less sclerotised and darkened than tergites. Male tergite 5 c. 0.11 mm broad, i.e. 2/3 of pre-abdominal tergites, sternite 5 (Fig. 34) asymmetrical, medially without any appendages and with short setulae in several rows, a bare dark area cranially to those setulae. Lateral setae on sternite 5 not particularly long. Synsternite complex comparatively long but narrow. No right side sclerites developed. Sternite 6 portion not much overruns sagittal line (and short (narrow) there), left lateral part strongly broadened. Sternite 7 portion with an arched curved and inside directed large lobe in the sagittal axis of the body plus a curved, more caudal sclerite. Sternite 8 part more than 0.3 mm long and much convex, consequently abdominal end seems bulbous. Epandrium not large with a pair of very long (0.35 mm or even longer) dorsal setae; other epandrial setae sparse but comparatively long (ventral ones 0.22–0.25mm). Modified cerci joining epandrium with a rather deep concave edge (Fig. 35). Subepandrial sclerite (Fig. 35) with a pair of dorsal processes, medial part slightly higher than cerci there. Anal plates large but weakly sclerotised. Hypandrium (Fig. 38) with lateral arms separated (not fused to) medial part. Medial part of hypandrium with a pair of short thin caudal processes. Male surstylus (Figs 36–37) rather compact without very long setae and with a dark sub-basal medial process. Apical thorn rather small, longest surstylar setae on inner (medial) side; medial side bears more setae than lateral (outer) side. Basiphallus (Fig. 40) short but high, with a pair of ventral, medio-cranial, less sclerotised and short setose lobes; setae on lobes recurved. Distiphallus (Fig. 41) intricately sclerotised but not strongly melanised; thread-like appendage emerges from the apical 1/3–2/3; length of distiphallus without appendage c. 0.3 mm. Postgonite (Fig. 39) broadened in apical half in lateral view; apical 4/7 with short thick yellow setae. Phallapodeme (Fig. 40) comparatively short 0.32–0.35 mm. Female abdomen about as broad as long. Sternites 2 to 5 about 0.3 mm broad only. Postabdomen not evertible at all. Female terminalia (Figs 42–45). Tergite 8 composed of two comparatively large subtriangular sclerites; a rather small medial sclerite between them, which joins epiproct and which is interpreted here as a part of tergite 8. Sternite 8 (Fig. 44) nearly trapezoid with a pair of 0.16 mm long setae and with several setulae, incl. 4 subapical ones. Epiproct (Fig. 43) medium, with a pair of rather long (c. 0.15 mm) setae. Hypoproct U-shaped, evenly microsetose. Cerci yellowish, very short 0.07 mm only (Fig. 42) with several (usually 5) long setae. A weakly sclerotised spectacles-shaped sclerites detectable. The paired and unpaired spermathecae on the left and the right abdominal wall, i.e. rather far from each other. Spermathecae (Fig. 45, cf. PAPP 1991: fig. 1), globular, surface rather smooth, diameter 0.05–0.055 mm, paired and unpaired ones similar. The sclerotised ducts (joining spermathecae) thinner than the less sclerotised ones distally. On one of the females prepared, one of the paired spermathecae is reduced (Fig. 45). A tendency for reduction of one of the paired spermathecae is not unknown in Sphaeroceridae. It was even depicted in a species of Pterogrammoides (PAPP 1989: fig. 7), although at that time it was attributed to the effect of glycerol. Distribution: Republic of South Africa. P. parangulata sp. n. seems to be close to P. angulata, though it is identifiable without any use of the male genital characters (see key below). Much to my regret I have to note that at least a part of the P. angulata specimens in collections are misidentified, including those, which were named formerly by the present author. This is particularly so as regards specimens from Southern Africa. It is a matter of course that Poecilosomella specimens from the New World all belong to P. angulata (THOMSON) (see above). I summarise differentiating characters for the identification of the P. angulata group species in the key below.Published as part of Papp, L., 2010, Seven New Afrotropical Species Of Poecilosomella Duda (Diptera: Sphaeroceridae), pp. 9-41 in Acta Zoologica Academiae Scientiarum Hungaricae 56 (1) on pages 24-29, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.573194
