The Anomaloninae described by Gravenhorst as well as those of older authors redescribed by him are revised on the base of available types, other historical material and original descriptions, respectively. Four new synonyms are established. One taxon receives new status and one new combination is ascertained. For some species often misidentified in the past differential diagnoses are given. Avoiding confusion it was necessary to select neotypes for Anomalon brevicorne Gravenhorst, Anomalon arquatum Gravenhorst and Ichneumon xanthopus Schrank. Two new species, Agrypon interstitiale and Agrypon flexorioides, are described.
A revised checklist of the Ichneumonidae of Germany is provided. The list represents an updated version of an earlier checklist published in 2001. The present list includes several records of species that are new for the German fauna and species that were discovered since the last checklist was published. The present checklist was compiled as part of the DNA barcoding projects at the Zoologische Staatssammlung München. The checklist includes 3,644 species of Ichneumonidae from Germany, with 48 species recorded for the first time. Compared to the checklist published 20 years ago, the number of ichneumonid species recorded from Germany has increased by 312 species.
A widespread European nocturnal ichneumonid, Ophion luteus, is shown to be a parasitoid of at least two species of noctuid moth, Agrotis exclamationis and A. segetum, probably most frequently a parasitoid of the former. The taxonomy, nomenclature and diagnostic features of this species are discussed. Possible explanations for a spring-flying generation, usually referred to as the 'distans' morph, are discussed.
Die sieben von Hellen beschriebenen Anomaloninae werden revidiert. Valide Arten sind Erigorgus romani (Hellen, 1926), Agrypon [nec Atrometoides] nigerrimum (Hellen, 1949), Barylypa helleni Schnee, 1989 [= Agrypon (Barylypa) rossicum Hellen, 1950 praokkupiert durch Barylypa rossicum Meyer, 1935], und Agrypon brachycerum Hellen, 1950. Habronyx scutellatus, Hellen, 1926 ist syn. nov. von Agrypon flaveolatum (Gravenhorst, 1829), Anomalon boreale Hellen, 1926 von Erigorgus melanobatus (Gravenhorst, 1829) und Agrypon (Labrorychus) flaviventris Hellen, 1950 von Barylypa rubricator (Szepligeti, 1899). Erigorgus lapponicus (Thomson, 1892) wird als eigenstandige Art und nicht mehr als Synonym von E. cerinops (Gravenhorst, 1829) angesehen. Zwei neue Arten aus der Agrypon anxium-Gruppe werden beschrieben: Agrypon hinzi spec. nov. aus Deutschland, Finnland, Grosbritannien, Osterreich, Russland und Schweden sowie Agrypon capitatum spec. nov. aus Finnland. Erstmals wird die bisher nur aus der Ostpalaarktis bekannte Art Aphanistes wadai Uchida, 1958 aus Finnland und Deutschland nachgewiesen. Aphanistes iwatai Uchida, 1958 ist ein neues Synonym von A. wadai. Ein Bestimmungsschlussel ermoglicht die Determination der westpalaarktischen Aphanistes-Arten. Faunistische und biologische Daten werden mitgeteilt. Wirtsnachweise wurden nach Moglichkeit uberpruft. Eine aktualisierte Checklist der 44 finnischen Anomaloninae wird gegeben.

Die 22 von Förster beschriebenen Anomaloninae werden überwiegend an Hand der erhaltenen Typen revidiert. Dabei zeigte sich, dass nur folgende fünf Arten valide Taxa sind: Barylypa propugnator (Förster, 1855), Barylypa mesozona (Förster, 1878), Erigorgus melanops (Förster, 1855), Erigorgus foersteri (Mocsáry, 1897) (nom. nov. pro Anomalon brevicorne Förster, 1855) und Atrometus insignis (Förster, 1878). Für sieben Arten werden Lectotypen festgelegt. Es ergaben sich 16 neue Synonyme. In der restlichen Förster-Sammlung fanden sich insgesamt 41 zu den Anomaloninae gehörende Arten, die kurz faunistisch und hinsichtlich ihrer Wirtsbindung kommentiert werden.StichwörterFörster collection, Anomaloninae, type revision, faunistics.Nomenklatorische Handlungenaggressorium Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), Lectotype; syn. n. of Agrypon flaveolatum (Gravenhorst, 1807)brachypterum Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), Lectotype; syn. n. of Agrypon clandestinum (Gravenhorst, 1829)clandestinum Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), syn. n. of Agrypon clandestimum (Gravenhorst, 1829)cognatum Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), syn. n. of Agrypon varitarsum (Wesmael, 1849)confusum Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), Lectotype; syn. n. of Agrypon flaveolatum (Gravenhorst,1807)elegantulum Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), Lectotype; syn. n. of Agrypon flaveolatum (Gravenhorst, 1807)furtivum Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), syn. n. of Agrypon anomelas (Gravenhorst, 1829)melanomerum Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), Lectotype; syn. n. of Camposcopus nigricornis (Wesmael, 1849)rubricatum Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), Lectotype; syn. n. of Agrypon flaveolatum (Gravenhorst, 1807)serpentinum Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), Lectotype; syn. n. of Agrypon batis (Ratzeburg, 1852)subclavatum Förster, 1860 (Agrypon), syn. n. of Agrypon flexorium (Thunberg, 1822)carinatum Brischke, 1880 (Anomalon), syn. n. of Barylypa propugnator (Förster, 1855)longicorne Brauns, 1895 (Anomalon), syn. n. of Barylypa mesozona (Förster, 1878)rufum Habermehl, 1920 (Anomalon), Lectotype; syn. n. of Barylypa propugnator (Förster, 1855)rubricatus Förster, 1878 (Atrometus), syn. n. of Agtrometus insignis Förster, 1878frisiaca Habermehl, 1922 (Barylypa), syn. n. of Barylypa mesozona (Förster, 1878)insidiator Förster, 1878 (Laphyctes), syn. n. of Barylypa propugnator (Förster, 1855)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
