Checklist of Dryinidae and Sclerogibbidae (Hymenoptera, Chrysidoidea) from Hong Kong

Abstract

A checklist of 23 species of Dryinidae and one species of Sclerogibbidae from Hong Kong is presented for the first time. Five subfamilies and seven genera of Dryinidae and one genus of Sclerogibbidae are recorded: eight species of Anteon; five species of Dryinus (belonging to groups 1 and 3); four species of Gonatopus (belonging to groups 1, 2, 4 and 7); two species of Aphelopus and Thaumatodryinus and one species each for Echthrodelphax, Neodryinus and Sclerogibba. Sixteen species are newly recorded from Hong Kong and three from China. Their geographical distribution are reported and illustrations of collected specimens are provided.

DNA barcoding of Aphelopus Dalman (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae) from China, with descriptions of four new species

“…China (Fujian, Hainan, Heilongjiang, Henan, Hong Kong, Ningxia, Taiwan, Yunnan, Zhejiang), India (Tamil Nadu), Indonesia (Sulawesi), Malaysia (Malaya, Sabah), Thailand (Chaiyaphum, Chiang Mai, Trang) (Xu et al 2013;Barthélémy & Olmi 2019).…”

Thaumatodryinus (Hymenoptera: Dryinidae) in time: A new record from the Miocene of southwestern Mexico

“…Thaumatodryinus was placed in its own, monotypic subfamily, the Thaumatodryininae, by Olmi (1984) and then subsequently synonymized under the Dryininae (Olmi, 1993). Tribull (2015), in a molecular phylogenetic study of the Dryinidae, proposed a resurrection of the Thaumatodryininae, which was later corroborated from morphological data by Martins (2018), so this subfamily is now commonly accepted (e.g., Barthélémy and Olmi, 2019;Olmi et al, 2019Olmi et al, , 2020. The defining synapomorphy for the genus and subfamily is the presence, J o u r n a l P r e -p r o o f in females, of tufts of four long setae on flagellomeres 3-8 (one tuft on F3-F7, two tufts on F8) (Xu et al, 2013).…”

Review of Palpostilpnus Aubert (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Phygadeuontinae), with the description of ten new species

“…The material here contained a single specimen of Palpostilpnus. In Hong Kong a Malaise trap was set by the fourth author (CB) at the same location between 2004 and the present (Barthélémy et al 2018;Barthélémy & Olmi 2019); it yielded only two specimens of Palpostilpnus (Fig. 3A-B), and the Hong Kong Mangroves Project (Grootaert et al 2019), which sampled 102 mangrove sites in 15 months, yielded a single additional specimen of Palpostilpnus.…”
