Abstract
Background: The Charipinae from the
Asian continent has been poorly studied. Previous to this study, 28
species of Charipinae had been mentioned: 19 of Alloxysta, 5 of Dilyta, 1 of Lobopterocharips, and 3 of Phaenoglyphis.
Results: The Charipinae fauna from Asia was
studied. Eleven new species are described: Alloxysta asiatica Ferrer-Suay and
Pujade-Villar sp. nov., Alloxysta
nepalica Ferrer-Suay and
Pujade-Villar sp. nov., Alloxysta
nippona Ferrer-Suay and
Pujade-Villar sp. nov., Alloxysta
paretasmartinezi
Ferrer-Suay and Pujade-Villar sp. nov., Alloxysta pilosa Ferrer-Suay and
Pujade-Villar sp. nov., Alloxysta
samurai Ferrer-Suay and
Pujade-Villar sp. nov., Alloxysta
sharkeyi Ferrer-Suay and
Pujade-Villar sp. nov., Phaenoglyphis
asiatica Ferrer-Suay and
Pujade-Villar sp. nov., Phaenoglyphis chinensis Ferrer-Suay and
Pujade-Villar sp. nov., Phaenoglyphis
indica Ferrer-Suay and
Pujade-Villar sp. nov., and Phaenoglyphis
japonica Ferrer-Suay and
Pujade-Villar sp. nov. New records are given from the Eastern
Palaearctic and Oriental regions for Alloxysta
arcuata (Kieffer, 1902),
Alloxysta brevis (Thomson, 1862), Alloxysta castanea (Hartig, 1841), Alloxysta consobrina (Zetterstedt, 1838), Alloxysta melanogaster (Hartig, 1840), Alloxysta obscurata (Hartig, 1840), Alloxysta pallidicornis (Curtis, 1838), Alloxysta pusilla (Kieffer, 1902), Alloxysta sawoniewiczi (Kierych, 1988), Alloxysta tscheki (Giraud, 1860), Alloxysta victrix (Westwood, 1833), Alloxysta xanthopa (Thomson, 1862), Phaenoglyphis longicornis (Hartig, 1840), Phaenoglyphis stricta (Thomson, 1877), Phaenoglyphis villosa (Hartig, 1841), and Phaenoglyphis xanthochroa Förster, 1869. Alloxysta ishizawai (Watanabe, 1950) is here
synonymized with Phaenoglyphis
ruficornis (Förster,
1869) and Alloxysta chinensis Fülöp & Mikó, 2013
with A. sawoniewiczi. Alloxysta simplex (Watanabe, 1950) is
considered as nomen dubium and Phaenoglyphis
bangalorensis Kurian,
1953 is considered to be incertae sedis. A key to the identity of all
of the Charipinae from Asia is given. All new species are illustrated.
Conclusions: The knowledge about
the Charipinae from Asia has been greatly improved, with many new
records established and new species described. Currently, there are 43
Charipinae species: 27 of Alloxysta,
5 of Dilyta, 1 of Lobopterocharips and 10 of Phaenoglyphis.
Key words: Figitidae; Charipinae; Alloxysta; Phaenoglyphis; Asia.
