Abstract
A new genus and species of Strepsiptera, Chrysostylops australiensis Benda & Straka, gen. et sp. nov., is described. It represents the first record of the family Stylopidae from Australia. It was parasitising the bee species Chrysocolletes aureus Leijs & Hogendoorn, 2021 (Neopasiphaeinae). The diagnosis and description of the genus and species are provided based on the characters of the female cephalothorax. Diagnostic characters are discussed. The male and first instar larvae of C. australiensis are unknown. We removed Hylecthrini Ulrich, 1930 reinst. stat. from synonymy based on the specific sculpture on the female cephalothorax. The tribe is specialised for bees of the family Colletidae.
期刊介绍:
Austral Entomology is a scientific journal of entomology for the Southern Hemisphere. It publishes Original Articles that are peer-reviewed research papers from the study of the behaviour, biology, biosystematics, conservation biology, ecology, evolution, forensic and medical entomology, molecular biology, public health, urban entomology, physiology and the use and control of insects, arachnids and myriapods. The journal also publishes Reviews on research and theory or commentaries on current areas of research, innovation or rapid development likely to be of broad interest – these may be submitted or invited. Book Reviews will also be considered provided the works are of global significance. Manuscripts from authors in the Northern Hemisphere are encouraged provided that the research has relevance to or broad readership within the Southern Hemisphere. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least two referees expert in the field of the submitted paper. Special issues are encouraged; please contact the Chief Editor for further information.
