A revision of the Anomaloninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) Melanesia. I. The genera Anomalon Panzer to Aphanistes Foerster

Abstract

A key is provided to the eight genera of Anomaloninae occurring in Melanesia. The Anomaloninae are endophagous parasites of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera larvae. The Melanesian species of Anomalon Panzer, Trichomma Wesmael,Heteropelma Wesmael, Therion Curtis, Pseudanomalon Szépligeti, and Aphanistes Foerster are keyed and discussed. A total of 21 species is recognised of which 11, Trichomma cheesmanae sp. n., T. pacificum sp. n., Heteropelma hirsutum sp. n., Therion unguiculum sp. n., A phanistes nexus sp. n., A. luscus sp. n., A. limulus sp. n., A. dnopherus sp. n., A. paupus sp. n., A. sedlaceki sp. n. and A. anaxeussp. n., are described. An Australian species, Anomalon, morleyiGauld, is recorded from Melanesia for the first time. Trichomma elegantulum Turner is placed as a junior synonym of T. clavipes Krieger.

Updated list of the insect parasitoids (Insecta, Hymenoptera) associated with Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) in Italy. 2. Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Anomaloninae and Campopleginae

“…At our latitude, T. enecator is a multivoltine species, while in Central-Northern Europe (Gauld and Mitchell 1977, Sedivy 2001) and Spain (Miñarro and Dapena 2004) it is presumably bivoltine. According to our personal observations, in Italy it shows three generations per year, and can attack all three generations of EGVM.…”

The genus Anomalon Panzer (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Anomaloninae) of Iran, with description of a new species

“…Measurements were made with an ocular micrometer mounted on the stereo microscope. Specimens were identified using the keys compiled by Atanasov (1981), Gauld (1978Gauld ( , 1980, Gauld & Mitchell (1977) and Schnee (2014). Morphological terminology follows Townes (1969) and sculpture terminology follows Harris (1979).…”

A revision of the Anomaloninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) of Melanesia. II. The genera Perisphincter Townes and Agrypon Foerster

“…The revision of Melanesian Anomaloninae commenced in an earlier work (Gauld, 1978) is concluded in this paper. Two genera are dealt with.…”
