Abstract

ABSTRACT The endemic New Zealand cyclostome braconid wasp genus Metaspathius Brues, which was previously only known from a single specimen, an apterous female, is revised. Four new species, including three with fully winged females, are described and illustrated: Metaspathius chathamicus Ward, sp. nov.; M. hemipterus Belokobylskij, sp. nov.; M. kuscheli Ward & Belokobylskij, sp. nov.; and M. sharkeyi Quicke & Butcher, sp. nov. Metaspathius apterus Brues is illustrated. The first host record for the genus is provided: Metaspathius kuscheli sp. nov. is recorded as a larval parasitoid of the New Zealand endemic weevil Phrynixus astutus Pascoe, 1876 (Curculionidae). DNA sequence data (CO1 and 28S) for two of the species are included in an analysis of a broad range of cyclostome Braconidae with emphasis on basal taxa. The results show that Metaspathius belongs to a clade restricted to New Zealand within the heterogeneous basal subfamily Mesostoinae van Achterberg, 1975. A revised morphological diagnosis of the Mesostoinae is presented in the light of the discovery that Metaspathius is a member. The relationships of the Maxfischeriinae are discussed in the light of molecular findings. http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:512AD512-5F2A-44C8-9951-AD739995C10C

对新西兰特有的黑角蜂属Metaspathius的修订：新的亚科布局，以及对四个新物种的描述，其中包括三个长满翅膀的雌性（膜翅目：黑角蜂科：中蜂亚科）

摘要：对新西兰特有的圆口braconid黄蜂属Metaspathius Brues进行了修订，该属以前只从一个具有适应性的雌性标本中已知。对四个新种进行了描述和说明，其中包括三个具有完全翅膀的雌性：Metaspathius chathamicus Ward，sp.nov。；Belokobylskij半翼虫，sp.nov。；M.kuscheli Ward&Belokobylskij，sp.nov。；以及M.sharkeyi Quicke&Butcher，sp.nov.Metaspathius apterus Brues。提供了该属的第一个寄主记录：Metaspathius kuscheli sp.nov.被记录为新西兰特有象甲Phrynixus astutus Pascoe的幼虫寄生蜂，1876（Curculionidae）。其中两个物种的DNA序列数据（CO1和28S）包括在对广泛的环口目短臂虫科的分析中，重点是基础分类群。结果表明，Metaspathius属于新西兰的一个分支，属于非均质基底亚科Mestoinae van Achterberg，1975。根据Metaspathius成员的发现，提出了一种对Mesostoinae的改良形态学诊断。根据分子发现讨论了麦氏菌亚科的相互关系。http://www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:512AD512-5F2A-44C8-9951-AD739995C10C

期刊介绍： The invertebrate diversity of New Zealand is of great interest worldwide because of its geographic isolation and geological history. The New Zealand Entomologist plays an important role in disseminating information on field-based, experimental, and theoretical research. The New Zealand Entomologist publishes original research papers, review papers and short communications. We welcome submissions in all aspects of science regarding insects and arthropods in a New Zealand or Australasian setting. The journal’s subject matter encompasses taxonomy, phylogenetics, biogeography, biological control and pest management, conservation, ecology and natural history. The journal is the official publication of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. Papers published or submitted elsewhere for publication will not be considered, but publication of an abstract or summary elsewhere (e.g. conference proceedings) does not preclude full publication in the New Zealand Entomologist. Accepted papers become copyright of the Entomological Society of New Zealand. The journal is published in English, but we also welcome publication of abstracts in Maori.
