On the spider parasitoids Polysphincta longa Kasparyan and P. boops Tschek (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae), with the first host records of P. longa

Abstract: The rarely recorded Polysphincta longa is probably widely overlooked in Europe as a result of confusion with the morphologically similar P. boops. Characters for the separation of these species are given, and host and distribution records, largely based on recent fieldwork, are presented. Araneus angulatus is shown to be the hitherto unknown host of P. longa, while all rearing records for P. boops are from Araniella species. P. longa is reported as new to the fauna of the United Kingdom and P. boops as new to … Show more

“…silvatica overwinters as second instar spiderlings without emerging from the egg-sac until spring (Tanaka 1992). Although almost all polysphinctine wasps overwinter as minute larva on the overwintering host spider (Fitton et al 1988;Fritzén 2010Fritzén , 2014Fritzén & Fjellberg 2014;Fritzén & Shaw 2014;Matsumoto & Takasuka 2010;Takasuka & Tanaka 2013), they would be unable to exploit the overwintering eggs and tiny spiderlings. As in a few very rare cases observed such as those of Megaetaira madida (Haliday 1838) (Fitton et al 1988) and Zatypota maculata Matsumoto & Takasuka 2010(Matsumoto & Takasuka 2010, overwintering as a prepupa or as an adult seems likely but remains to be verified.…”

“…Baranisobas hibericus , Agrothereutes monticola , ​ Phobetes nigriventris , Mesoleius tibiator ). For some species (e. g. Diplazon parvus , Dicaelotus morosator , Polysphincta longa ), the known distibution should be carefully evaluated, because of possible confusions occurred in the past with morphological similar species (see Aubert 1969, Fritzén and Shaw 2014, Klopfstein 2014). …”

“…It is not an exhaustive list, as many genera still need a revision and the identification to species level often requires the comparison with type material in collections: Varga (2013) (Acaenitinae); Kasparyan (1990) (Adelognathinae); Kuslitzky (1973), Aubert (1978) (Banchinae); Horstmann (2009) (Campopleginae); Gürbüz and Kolarov (2006) (Collyriinae); Donovan (1810), Förster (1871), Habermehl (1935), Horstmann (1983), Townes (1983), Horstmann (1990) (Cryptinae); Gravenhorst (1829), Bauer (1961), Kasparyan (1981), Hinz (1986), Hinz (1991), Hinz and Horstmann (1998), Kasparyan (2000), Kasparyan (2001), Kasparyan (2004), Kasparyan (2011), Reshchikov (2013), Kasparyan (2014) (Ctenopelmatinae); Kolarov (1997) (Diacritinae); Klopfstein (2014) (Diplazontinae); Aubert (1958), Aubert (1969), Kasparyan (1981), Selfa and Diller (1995), Selfa and Anento (1996), Tereshkin (2009), Diller and Shaw (2014) (Ichneumoninae); Kasparyan (1981) (Lycorininae); Schwenke (1999) (Mesochorinae); Aubert (1965) (Metopiinae); Broad (2010) (Orthocentrinae); Kolarov (1997), Zwakhals (2006), Fritzén and Shaw (2014) (Pimplinae); Oehlke (1966), Kolarov (1997) (Poemeniinae); Kasparyan (1973) (Tryphoninae).…”
