Phylogeny of Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), with a reclassification of Eulophinae and the recognition that Elasmidae are derived eulophids

Abstract: Summary Eulophidae is a large and biologically varied family of parasitoid wasps, traditionally split into four subfamilies; Elasmidae is a uniform (single genus) and morphologically distinct family of wasps that are thought to be related to Eulophidae. The D2 region of the 28S rDNA gene (≈ 560 bp) of eighty‐seven species of eulophid, three species of elasmid and sixteen outgroup species in five families was sequenced. Cladograms were constructed, and the results compared with conclusions drawn from morphologi… Show more

“…However, Boucek (1988) considers Entedoninae (to which Emersonella and Horismenus belong) as the most derived subfamily of Eulophidae. Molecular data (Gauthier et al, 2000) supported Eulophinae as a derived group and suggests that Euderinae may be the most primitive. Euderinae and Tetrastichinae appear closely related to each other (Graham, 1987;Gibson et al, 2000).…”

“…There was no autapomorphy characterizing the genus, suggesting that its taxonomy should be reviewed, and that the Horismenus genus should probably be split into several monophyletic genera. The only study addressing phylogenetic relationships among Eulophidae on a large scale (Gauthier et al, 2000) included only one Horismenus species, thereby leaving monophyly of that genus totally unresolved. On the other hand, monophyly of the genus Emersonella is well supported by molecular data, except in the ITS2 tree, where Horismenus sp.…”

“…The eulophids comprise the largest family of Chalcidoidea (nOyeS 2013), and their biology is also extremely diverse, including ecto-or endoparasitoids of many families and orders of insects (MelO et al 2012). There are also phytophagous and predatory species (gautHier et al 2000). Platygastrids are widely represented in all regions of the globe.…”
