Abstract
Two tentatively distinct morphological forms belonging to the Darwin wasp genus Lochetica Kriechbaumer, 1892 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) were found to occur in Finland, although only one species is known in Europe. The identity of the two forms were resolved by examining additional museum material, DNA barcoding and revising the relevant types. Both morphology and molecular results support the recognition of a new species, Lochetica ramiisp. nov., from Finnish specimens – in addition to Lochetica westoni (Bridgman, 1880) already known from Finland. New host associations are given for both species and their ecology is discussed. An identification key is given to the known species of Lochetica of the world to facilitate the recognition of the new species.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
