Karyotypes of three species of the genus Trissolcus Ashmead, 1893 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)

Karyotypes of four species of the genus Telenomus Haliday, 1833 (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae)

“…Nowadays, chromosomes of five Telenomus species are known, and this work therefore represents the first comparative karyotypic study of the genus. Our research confirms that all members of the genus Telenomus, together with other Scelionidae, have the same chromosome number, n = 10 [Dreyfus, Breuer, 1944;Gokhman, 2009;Fusu et al, 2013;Gokhman, Timokhov, 2019]. Nevertheless, certain Telenomus species can differ in some details of their karyotype structure.…”

“…Despite rapid accumulation of karyotypic data, they are still available for just about 500 species of parasitic wasps [Gokhman, 2009]. The parasitoid superfamily Platygastroidea, which currently comprises about 6000 described species [Timokhov, 2019], is traditionally subdivided into two separate families, Platygastridae and Scelionidae. In turn, the latter group contains more than specimens of T. heydeni were collected in the wild.…”

“…4000 species in the world fauna [Timokhov, 2019]. Among the Scelionidae, karyotypes of six members of the subfamily Telenominae that belong to the genera Trissolcus Ashmead, 1893 and Telenomus Haliday, 1833 were previously studied (see Gokhman, Timokhov, [2019] for review).…”

Moreover, for both studied Telenomus species, either the chromosome number remains the only known karyotypic feature, as in T. turesis Walker, 1836 [= chloropus (Thomson, 1861)] [Gokhman, 2009], or the existing description of the chromosome set contains apparent errors, e.g.…”
