“…The topology recovered in the present analyses confirms the monophyly of Ateleutinae and reinforces the results of Santos (2017) in which the group was shown to be only distantly related to Cryptinae. In fact, the branch leading to Ateleutinae was the longest internal branch in the tree, corroborating the observations by previous authors (Townes, 1967;Gauld, 1984;Bordera & Sääksjärvi, 2012) about the morphological 'uniqueness' of Ateleute.…”

“…Ateleutinae are a small lineage of ichneumonid wasps currently including two genera and 46 species distributed almost worldwide (Bordera & Sääksjärvi, 2012;Yu et al, 2012;Sheng et al, 2013). The group was originally proposed as a subtribe of Cryptini (Cryptinae) based on a single genus, Ateleute Förster (Townes, 1967(Townes, , 1970.…”

“…Ateleutinae were notably not recorded from the Neotropical region until Kasparyan & Hernandez (2001) described two species of Ateleute and a new genus, Tamaulipeca Kasparyan, from Mexico and Costa Rica. Bordera & Sääksjärvi (2012), studying the fauna from Western Amazonia, described five new species of Ateleute and three species of Tamaulipeca.…”

“…Townes et al (1961) had placed Ateleute in Phygadeuontini, but later (1967) considered it 'an isolated genus' of Cryptini (= Mesostenini of Townes), noting that it could actually be more related to the Chirotica Förster genus-group in Phygadeuontini, but preferred to place it within its own subtribe. Likewise, Gauld (1984) considered Ateleute a genus of unclear taxonomic placement, and Bordera & Sääksjärvi (2012) considered the tribe Ateleutina as 'atypical Cryptini'. In the first phylogenetic analyses to include a sizable assemblage of Cryptinae, using data from 28S rRNA, the Ateleutina were recovered outside the Cryptini clade (Laurenne et al, 2006;Quicke et al, 2009).…”

Phylogeny and reclassification of Cryptini (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Cryptinae), with implications for ichneumonid higher‐level classification

The first comprehensive phylogenetic study of the wasp tribe Cryptini (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Cryptinae) is presented, based on 109 morphological characters and molecular data from seven loci. The dataset includes 370 species, 308 of which are from Cryptini, covering 182 of its 250 genera. Results from parsimony and likelihood analyses are generally congruent. The topology has several implications for ichneumonid higher-level classification. Previous definitions of the Ichneumoniformes clade are supported, though newly including the Microleptinae. The cryptine subtribe Ateleutina is consistently recovered outside of the Cryptini clade and should be treated as a separate subfamily, Ateleutinae stat.n. The tribe Phygadeuontini is shown to be polyphyletic: while most of the sampled taxa were recovered in a single clade, many of its members are more closely related to the Ichneumoninae, Ateleutinae or Cryptini. Pending a more detailed study, the group should be treated as a separate subfamily, Phygadeuontinae stat. rev. The former Hemigastrini are recovered as largely monophyletic but with important exceptions. Hemigaster Brullé is recovered as part of the Phygadeuontini and is transferred to that group. Echthrus Gravenhorst is consistently recovered as part of Cryptini, rendering Aptesini as the correct name for the tribe. The subfamily Cryptinae should be restricted to the tribes Aptesini and Cryptini. Within Cryptini, the results show little support for the current subtribal classification, with most subtribes recovered as polyphyletic. A number of relatively stable clades are identified and discussed, but the relationships among them are weakly supported. Most of these clades are morphologically heterogeneous and building a subtribal classification based on them would be ineffectual; they are therefore treated under the informal designation of genus groups. The results highlight the ubiquity of morphological homoplasy in Cryptini, and provide a framework from which to address further systematic and evolutionary questions on this hyperdiverse group of parasitic wasps. 650

Epirhyssa Cresson 1865 is a large tropical genus of the family Ichneumonidae. It is the most diverse genus of the subfamily Rhyssinae with about 118 species worldwide. In this study we conducted four long-term field inventories to review the Peruvian Amazonian species of the genus. We provide illustrations, diagnosis and an identification key to the species currently known to occur in the region, including descriptions of 10 new species. In addition, we describe the female of E. wisei Porter and the male of E. pertenuis Porter, discuss the biogeographical patterns of species richness of the genus and provide new faunistic records for Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, French Guiana, Paraguay and Peru. The Peruvian Amazonia is, according to our results, among the most species-rich areas in the world for this genus. Some of the new species described in this work were named by the public in Finland and Peru during two innovative competitions to name these beautiful species. The aims of these competitions were to draw attention to the plethora of unknown species lurking in the shades of tropical forests and the necessity to protect these highly diverse areas.
