New Spanish Dinotrema species with propodeal areola or mainly sculptured propodeum (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae)

Abstract

The illustrated descriptions of eight new species of the genus Dinotrema with either the propodeum mainly sculptured or having a large propodeal areola from Spain are provided, viz. Dinotrema amparoae sp. n., Dinotrema benifassaense sp. n., Dinotrema lagunasense sp. n., Dinotrema pilarae sp. n., Dinotrema robertoi sp. n., Dinotrema teresae sp. n.,Dinotrema tinencaense sp. n., and Dinotrema torreviejaense sp. n..

First record of the genus Dinotrema Foerster, 1862 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae) from the Neotropical region, with description of four new species and a key to the New World taxa

“…Dinotrema comprises a large number of species described from Afrotropical, Australasian, Nearctic, Oceanic, Oriental and Palaearctic (mainly from Western Europe) regions (Fischer 1972;van Achterberg 1988;Tobias 2003Tobias , 2004aTobias , 2004bTobias , 2006Yu et al 2012;Peris-Felipo & Belokobylskij 2013;Peris-Felipo et al 2013a, 2013b, 2013c, 2013d, 2014b, 2014c. This genus, however, has not yet been reported from the Neotropical region.…”

Aspilota-group (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Alysiinae) diversity in Mediterranean Natural Parks of Spain

“…However, in recent years, some biodiversity studies have been carried out. These studies have increased the knowledge of this group with the description of 42 new European species ( Peris-Felipo et al 2012 , Peris-Felipo et al 2013a , Peris-Felipo et al 2013b , Peris-Felipo et al 2013c , Peris-Felipo et al 2013d , Peris-Felipo and Belokobylskij 2013 , Munk et al 2013a , Munk et al 2013b , Peris-Felipo et al 2014 ).…”

Dinotrema cavernicola sp. n. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae), a new species of the genus Dinotrema Foerster from caves of Spain

“…It comprises many dozens of species described from the Palaearctic Region and mainly from Western Europe (Fischer 1972;van Achterberg 1988;Tobias 2003Tobias , 2004aTobias , 2004bTobias , 2006, but numerous Palaearctic species remain as yet unknown. Increasing our knowledge of this genus, several papers have been published by the two first authors (Peris-Felipo and Belokobylskij 2013;Peris-Felipo et al 2013a, 2013b, 2013c, 2013d, 2014) and a monograph with a revision of the Western Palaearctic Dinotrema species will be published soon (Peris-Felipo et al 2014). An arrangement of Dinotrema species in morphological groups was suggested by Fischer (1972) and later, on the basis of more diverse material, further developed by Tobias (2003Tobias ( , 2004aTobias ( , 2006.…”
