The Palaearctic types of Chrysididae (Insecta, Hymenoptera) deposited in the Linsenmaier collection. Part 2. Elampini: genus Hedychridium Abeille de Perrin, 1878

Abstract

An illustrated catalogue of the Palaearctic types of species and subspecies described by Walter Linsenmaier in the genus Hedychridium Abeille de Perrin, 1878 is given. Linsenmaier described 110 species and subspecies of Hedychridium, most of the holotypes are deposited in his collection, at the Natur-Museum (Luzern, Switzerland), with the exception of 25 holotypes which are deposited at the Bristish Museum (London), at the Musée cantonal de zoologie (Lausanne) and in two private collections. Hedychridium atratum is here transferred to Chamaeholopyga Linsenmaier, 1987. Hedychridium krajniki turceyense Linsenmaier, 1968 stat. nov. is upgraded to species rank. The holotype of Hedychridium caireanum Linsenmaier, 1968 is considered lost. A list of the species described and a synthesys of his classification is given. Pictures of 83 primary and secondary types are presented.

Two new chrysidoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Bethylidae, Chrysididae) from mid-Miocene Zhangpu amber

“…Hedychridium is the second largest genus of the Chrysididae and the largest within its tribe with more than 300 species described (Rosa et al, 2022). This genus occurs in all zoogeographic regions except the Australia, its diversity being highest in arid parts of the Holarctic and southern Africa (Kimsey and Bohart, 1991).…”

“…The list of Hedychridium species known from Iberia is given below, with species subdivided by species groups following Linsenmaier’s classification ( Rosa et al 2022 ) and modifications proposed by Pauli et al (2019) , based on multigene molecular analyses.…”
