Review of the Bobekia-group (Braconidae, Alysiinae, Alysiini), with description of a new genus and a new subgenus

Abstract

The world genera of the Bobekia-group of Alysiini (Braconidae: Alysiinae) are reviewed and keyed. A new genus (Neodiastagen. nov.) is proposed for Phasmidiasta ecuadorensis Fischer, 2006, from Ecuador. One new subgenus (Parabobekoidessubg. nov.; type species Separatatus (Parabobekoides) yinshanisp. nov. from NW China) is described and illustrated. Neosymphanes Belokobylskij, 1998 is a new synonym of Bobekia Niezabitowski, 1910 (syn. nov.).

A new species of the genus Separatatus Chen & Wu (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae) from South Korea

“…(ASL), Department of Biological Science, Kunsan National University (KSNU) at Gunsan, South Korea. Zhu et al (2017), Yao et al (2018) and Zhang et al (2020) were followed for the morphological identification. Morphological characters were observed with a Leica M205C stereo microscope.…”

“…1C) vein 2-SR slightly bent, vein 2-SR slightly shorter than vein 3-SR; vein 2-SR+M not sclerotized; hind wing vein 1-M longer than vein 1r-m; second tergite rugose, longer than first (Fig. 1H (Zhang et al 2020). It runs in the key by Yao et al (2018) to S. malaysiae because of the less developed areola of the propodeum and distinctly postfurcal vein m-cu of the fore wing.…”

“…The genus Separatatus Chen & Wu, 1994 is a small group of Alysiinae, which includes five Oriental or East Palaearctic species (Yu et al 2016;Zhu et al 2017;Zhang et al 2020). This genus is easily characterized by the rugose second metasomal tergite, robust mandible and metanotum slightly or not protruding dorsally (Zhang et al 2020). Chen and Wu (1994) created the genus Separatatus and described Separatatus carinatus Chen & Wu, 1994 as new species from China.…”
