Abstract

The number of currently described species of Afrotropical parasitoid wasps does not reflect the true species diversity. One of the most severely understudied parasitoid wasp groups is Ceraphronoidea. In this first study on Afrotropical mainland Ceraphronoidea in more than 20 years, which is also the first ever taxonomic monograph focusing on Ceraphronidae, we describe 88 new species of Ceraphronidae (85 new species) and Megaspilidae (3 new species) from Kakamega Forest (Kenya), Mt. Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) and Ivindo NP (Gabon): Aphanogmus abaluhya sp. nov., A. ashitakai sp. nov., A. idakho sp. nov., A. ikhongamurwi sp. nov., A. isiukhu sp. nov., A. kakamegaensis sp. nov., A. lateritorum sp. nov., A. mangimelii sp. nov., A. mariae sp. nov., A. mashariki sp. nov., A. nehbergi sp. nov., A. njia sp. nov., A. vestrii sp. nov., A. yala sp. nov. (all clavicornis species group), A. dimidiatus sp. nov., A. fraterculus sp. nov., A. guenteri sp. nov., A. kakakili sp. nov., A. kisiwa sp. nov., A. maua sp. nov., A. morriconei sp. nov., A. ndefu sp. nov., A. ngai sp. nov., A. nikii sp. nov., A. pilosicoxa sp. nov., A. rafikii sp. nov., A. robustus sp. nov., A. simbai sp. nov., A. taji sp. nov., A. ukanda sp. nov.

恐食性膜翅目(昆虫纲:膜翅目)以88个新种的描述重新登上地图
目前描述的非洲性寄生蜂物种数量并不能反映真实的物种多样性。Ceraphronoidea是研究最严重的寄生蜂群之一。在这项20多年来首次对非洲大陆Ceraphronoidea的研究中,也是有史以来第一本专注于Ceraphronidae的分类学专著,我们描述了来自Kakamega Forest(肯尼亚)、Mt.Kilimanjaro(坦桑尼亚)和Ivindo NP(加蓬)的Ceraphrodidae(85个新种)和Megaspilidae(3个新种)的88个新种:Aphanogmus abaluhya sp.nov.、A.ashitakai sp.nov。,A.idakho sp.nov.,A.ikhongamurwi sp.nov..,A.isiukhu sp.novs.,A.kakamegaensis sp.nov.A.reditorum sp.nov.%,A.mangimelii sp.nov'.,A.mariae sp.nov.mashariki sp.nov.\ nehbergi sp.nev'.,A.nja sp.novy.,A.vestrii sp.nova.A.yala sp.nov.nov.(所有锁骨鸟纲物种群),A.dimidiatus sp.nev.,A.fraterculus sp.nov.[。,A.kakakili sp.nov.,A.kisiwa sp.nov..,A.maua sp.nov.1,A.morriconei sp.nov.2,A.ndefu sp.nov.3,A.ngai sp.niv.,A.nikii sp.nov,A.pilosicosa sp.nov.5,A.rafikii sp.nov.5,A.robustus sp.nov.6,A.simbai sp.nov.7,A.taji sp.nov.9,A.ukanda sp.nov(均为烟粉蝶属物种群),A.campanula sp.nov.8,A.kikuyu sp.niv.3。,A.宝塔sp.nov.(均为细颈属物种群)、Cerapron banda sp.nov..、C.brashi sp.nov.C.breviharpis sp.nov.%、C.breviscapus sp.nov.V.、C.buyangu sp.nov.Chemoiti sp.nov.W.、C.cingulum sp.nov.v.、C.clavatureris sp.nov.digiti sp.nev.、C.eaerendili sp.nov.F.ekero sp.nov.ellae sp.nov.Meulbergi sp.nov.Hereni sp.nov.nov。,C.hitagarcaii sp.nov.,C.inclitus sp.nov..,C.isecheno sp.nov.C.isukha sp.nov'.,C.ivindoensis sp.nov.%,C.kaharabu sp.nov.D.,C.kaimosiensis sp.nov.C.,C.kakamegaensis sp.nov.,C.kidole sp.nov.Mkimatii sp.nov.V.,C.lirhanda sp.nov.T.,C.longiharpis sp.nev.D.,C.longisetae sp.nov.D。,C.malava sp.nov.,C.mamamutere sp.nov..,C.metapleulalis sp.nova.,C.mikoi sp.nova,C.mwekaensis sp.nov.nandi sp.nov.Nnzoia sp.nov.onesimusi sp.nov.Ipirosiharpis sp.nova.Npleuroulcus sp.nev.,C.reinholdi sp.nov,C.salazar sp.nov.sataoi sp.nav.,C.semira sp.niv.,C.sungura sp.nov.Tenneimeris sp.nov.mov。,C.tiriki sp.nov.、C.trietschae sp.nov..、Cyocelaphron dhahabudossalis sp.nov.C.harpe sp.nov.%、C.invisilis sp.nov'.、C.kahawia sp.nov.\、C.njano sp.nov.nov.(均为Ceraphronidae科)、Conostigmus kijiko sp.nov.m.、C.koleo sp.nov和Dendrocerus wachagga sp.nov(均为巨尾目)。此外,我们描述了四种Aphanogmus和五种Ceraphron,但没有正式命名。一个新的类型被指定为Dendrocerus anneckei Dessart,1985(Megaspilidae)。有了这些新物种,我们的数量是非洲大陆的两倍多(65个对153个)。通过发现的物种数量,我们可以估计全世界Ceraphronoidea的真实物种数量约为12个 000–21 000,即目前所述物种数量的16-29倍(~730,包括本文所述物种)。这项研究旨在强调,研究热带地区的寄生蜂是必要的,也是可能的,为探索非洲热带和其他地区小型和多样化昆虫群的多样性提供动力,同时也提供了保护生物多样性、理解进化和地球生命网络所急需的基本知识。所有描述的物种都进行了诊断和说明,重点是男性生殖器。此外,我们还提供了一个识别非洲角蛛科雄性的钥匙。

期刊介绍: EJT is a fully refereed, international, fully electronic Open Access journal in descriptive taxonomy, covering subjects in zoology, entomology, botany (in its broadest sense), and palaeontology. EJT-papers must be original and adhere to high scientific (content) and technical (language, artwork, etc.) standards. Manuscripts that are clearly substandard in either of these categories will not be sent out for review. EJT is supported by a consortium of European Natural History Institutes, but its scope is global. Both authorship and geographical region of study need not be European. Authors are, however, strongly encouraged to involve European Natural History collections by consulting material or by depositing specimens (e.g. types and figured material) related to their published paper in the collection of a European Natural History Institute.
