Abstract
Abstract The genus Alaptus Westwood (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) is characterised by its minute-sized body with no visible petiole and deeply excised posterior margin of fore wing. Three new species are described from different Indian states or Union Territory: A. deodus Anwar & Zeya sp. nov. (Karnataka), A. spicatus Anwar & Zeya sp. nov. (Karnataka), and A. wandoorensis Anwar & Zeya sp. nov. (Andaman and Nicobar Islands). Two species, A. iceryae Riley (Karnataka) and A. terebrans Kryger (Karnataka), are recorded for the first time from India, albeit the identification of A. terebrans is tentative. Two Indian species are put under synonymy: A. jowainus Rehmat & Anis syn. nov. and A. pyronus Anwar & Zeya syn nov. under A. immaturus Perkins. As A. deccanensis Anwar & Zeya share most of its characters with A. fusculus Walker except its body and antennal sizes, so a comparative analysis of both the species is provided, but its synonymy with A. fusculus has not been proposed at present and it needs to be confirmed on the basis of molecular studies. A revised key to males and females of the Indian species is also provided. http://urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:09951D88-75A8-43FF-87A1-9CF8F230D096 http://urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:76C5EDBD-0B0E-41E6-B92F-07F636AA868C http://urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:1C55F240-BF4B-4954-A273-0CEB6D775B63 http://urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act:95744029-0947-4614-945B-350627CCE82A
期刊介绍:
The European Zoological Journal (previously Italian Journal of Zoology) is an open access journal devoted to the study of all aspects of basic, comparative and applied protozoan and animal biology at molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organismal, population, and community-ecosystem level. Papers covering multiple levels of organization and integrative approaches to study animal form, function, development, ecology, evolution and systematics are welcome. First established in 1930 under the name of Il Bollettino di Zoologia, the journal now has an international focus, reflected through its global editorial board, and wide author and readership.
