Revision of the genusEodendrusBelokobylskij (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Doryctinae)

Abstract

A revision of the genus Eodendrus Belokobylskij, stat. nov. (type species Dendrosotinus eous Belokobylskij) is provided. Six new species are described and figured: E. africanus Belokobylskij, sp. nov. (S. Africa), E. convergens Belokobylskij, sp. nov. (Brunei), E. elongatus Belokobylskij and Long, sp. nov. (Vietnam), E. flavus Belokobylskij and Long, sp. nov. (Vietnam), E. hoabinicus Belokobylskij and Long, sp. nov. (Vietnam, Brunei), and E. petiolatus Belokobylskij and Chen, sp. nov. (China). Redescriptions of E. eous (Belokobylskij), comb. nov. (Russian Far East, Korea, Japan) and E. conspicuus (Granger), comb. nov. (Madagascar) are given. The lectotype of Doryctes conspicuus Granger is designated. A key to all species of the genus Eodendrus is presented. The composition of the subtribe Caenophanina (Doryctini) is discussed.

The genus Eodendrus Belokobylskij (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Doryctinae) from China, with description of a new species

“…Diagnosis. Th e new species is similar to E. hoabinicus Belokobylskij & Long, 2005, but can be separated from the latter by having the fi rst tergite more slender (also in lateral view) with more protruding spiracular tubercles, the grooves of the second tergite more convergent, second tergite irregularly reticulate, third tergite reticulate in medio-basal 0.55 and the colour of this area darker than the rest of third tergite.…”

“…Key to the species of the genus Eodendrus Belokobylskij (modifi ed from Belokobylskij et al 2005) 1.…”

“…Additional sources for the description of sculpture and setation are Belokobylskij et al (2005). All descriptions and measurements were made under a Leica MZ 12.5 microscope, and fi gures made under ZEISS Stemi SV6 microscope.…”

“…During our study of Chinese materials of the genus Eodendrus, we discovered a new species and a species that have hitherto not been recorded from China. In the present paper, the new species is described and illustrated, the new record listed, and the key to the genus Eodendrus, as published by Belokobylskij et al (2005), modifi ed.…”

“…Later, Eodendrus Belokobylskij was raised to generic status (Belokobylskij et al 2005). To date eight species of the genus Eodendrus Belokobylskij have been known in the world, of which one occurs in the Palaearctic, fi ve in the Oriental, and two in the Afrotropical regions (Granger 1949, Belokobylskij 1988, Belokobylskij et al 2005.…”
