Abstract
This study presents a comprehensive revision of the genus Protoleptops Heinrich, 1967. We describe a new species, P.nyeupe Dal Pos & Di Giovanni, sp. nov., from Burundi, marking the first documented occurrence of an Ichneumoninae species in the country. Additionally, we provide the first diagnostic description of the female P.farquharsoni Heinrich, 1967 and report a new occurrence of this species in KwaZulu-Natal. Furthermore, we document P.magnificus for Mpumalanga (South Africa) and P.angolae Heinrich, 1967 in Uganda, thereby extending the known range of the latter into East Africa. A detailed catalogue of all species within the genus Protoleptops is also included.
Revision of the Afrotropical genus Protoleptops Heinrich, 1967 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Ichneumoninae), with description of a new species from Burundi.
本研究对海因里希(Heinrich)于 1967 年发现的原栉龙属(Protoleptops Heinrich, 1967)进行了全面的修订。我们描述了来自布隆迪的一个新种--P.nyeupe Dal Pos & Di Giovanni, sp.此外,我们还首次对雌性 P.farquharsoni Heinrich(海因里希,1967 年)进行了诊断性描述,并报告了该物种在夸祖鲁-纳塔尔省的新发现。此外,我们还记录了姆普马兰加(南非)的 P.magnificus 和乌干达的 P.angolae Heinrich, 1967,从而将后者的已知分布范围扩大到了东非。此外,我们还提供了一份关于原尾柱虫属所有物种的详细目录。
