Checklist of British and Irish Hymenoptera - Braconidae

Abstract

BackgroundThe checklist of British and Irish Braconidae is revised, based in large part on the collections of the National Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh, and the Natural History Museum, London. Distribution records are provided at the country level together with extensive synonymy and bibliography.New informationOf the 1,338 species regarded as valid, presumed native and certainly identified, 83 are here recorded for the first time from the British Isles. One new synonym is established (Dyscritus suffolciensis Morley, 1933 = Syntretus splendidus (Marshall, 1887) syn. nov.)

Braconinae parasitoids (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) emerged from larvae of Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller) (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae) feeding on Daphne gnidium L.

“…This genus is considered as a para- or also a polyphyletic group, predominantly of small and middle-sized species (Quicke 2015) spread over several subgenera. Habrobracon Ashmead, 1895 was once considered to be a distinct genus (Quicke 2015, Papp 2008, Yu et al 2012) or one of the Bracon subgenera (Shenefelt 1978, Tobias 1986, Belokobylskij et al 2012, Broad et al 2012, Ameri et al 2013, 2015, Zargar et al 2015) or sometimes is considered as a synonym (Marsh 1979, van Achterberg 2013). …”

A review of insect parasitoids associated with Lobesia botrana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) in Italy. 1. Diptera Tachinidae and Hymenoptera Braconidae (Lepidoptera, Tortricidae)

“…The species is now reported in the Fauna Europaea as Microgaster rufipes Nees, 1834, but is still listed by Broad et al (2012, 2016) and Yu et al (2012) under the incorrect name of Microgaster globata .…”

“…In total of three species for Miracinae, one species for Pambolinae, and two species for Sigalphinae are listed as the fauna of Iran. Broad et al, 2016), Spain (van Nieukerken, 2007;Yu et al, 2012;van Achterberg, 2013;Papp, 2015), Switzerland (Dalla Torre, 1898 under Microgastrinae), Turkey (Beyarslan, 2009;Özgen et al, 2012;Yu et al, 2012;Papp, 2015).…”
