However, it is included in the present revision due to its clear affinities with the strictly Afrotropical species of the subgenus + +Nortonia + +, in particular + +P. mochii + +. The three species of +P. +( + +Nortonia + +) considered here differ from the strictly Palaearctic species of the subgenus in various characters, of which the most evident are the largely smooth and impunctate body, the pronotum lacking the dorsal carina, and the lateral carina of the propodeum only weakly sinuated or angled at the apex without forming a tooth. + + +The specimen from Wadi Kelt was examined by +Giordani Soika (1938) +to describe the female sex of this species and is labelled as +allotype +. However, +von Schulthess (1931) +reported only a male in the original description, therefore the specimen described by Giordani Soika is not a true type. + + + +Pareumenes enslini + +shows a wide range of chromatic variability, ranging from entirely red-brown to widely yellow-marked. The yellow markings are usually observed on face (sometimes covering most of it), scape, T2, T3 and S2, while markings on pronotum and T1 are more rarely observed. The entirely red form is apparently the most widespread, being observed in an area covering +Egypt +, the Levant, and the Arabian Peninsula, while the extensively yellow-marked form appears limited to the southern areas of the Arabian Peninsula. These chromatic and geographic differences, combined with the presence of differences in the apical margin of the female clypeus and in sculpture of T2, led to the description of the yellow-marked form as a distinct species, + +P. mimus +Giordani Soika, 1981 + +, later synonymized by +Guichard (1986) +due to the lack of morphological differences. The examination of various material confirms the synonymy proposed by Guichard, since specimens from the same areas of +Oman +present a wide variety of patterns, covering various intermediate forms between + +P. enslini + +and + +P. mimus + +. The differences in the apical margin of the clypeus, also used to distinguish + +P. enslini + +from + +P. mochii +( +Giordani Soika 1938 +) + +, proved to be inconsistent given the variability of this character in the female. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/64/52/87/645287DF45248D64FF79FB41B1111660.xml b/data/64/52/87/645287DF45248D64FF79FB41B1111660.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..7661d5769c5 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/64/52/87/645287DF45248D64FF79FB41B1111660.xml @@ -0,0 +1,92 @@ + + + +Revision of the Afrotropical species of Pareumenes de Saussure (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae) + + + +Author + +Selis, Marco + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2025 + +2025-02-07 + + +5584 + + +2 + + +205 +227 + + + + +https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5584.2.3 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5584.2.3 +1175-5326 +14830818 +7B1FD4B9-4280-4B52-91DC-36A7E2D10AAE + + + + + + +Genus + +Pareumenes +de Saussure, 1855 + + + + + + + + + + +Pareumenes +de Saussure, 1855: 133 + + +, + +division of genus + +Eumenes +Latreille + +(4 species). + + + + +Type +species: + +Eumenes quadrispinosus +de Saussure, 1855 + +, by subsequent designation of + +Bequaert (1918: 271) + +. + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/64/52/87/645287DF45248D67FF79FA12B325124F.xml b/data/64/52/87/645287DF45248D67FF79FA12B325124F.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..18f1959db69 --- /dev/null +++ b/data/64/52/87/645287DF45248D67FF79FA12B325124F.xml @@ -0,0 +1,234 @@ + + + +Revision of the Afrotropical species of Pareumenes de Saussure (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae) + + + +Author + +Selis, Marco + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2025 + +2025-02-07 + + +5584 + + +2 + + +205 +227 + + + + +https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5584.2.3 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5584.2.3 +1175-5326 +14830818 +7B1FD4B9-4280-4B52-91DC-36A7E2D10AAE + + + + + + +Subgenus + +Brachyparmenes +Giordani Soika, 1987 + + + + + + + + + + +Brachyparmenes +Giordani Soika, 1987: 201 + + +, + + + + +subgenus of + +Pareumenes +de Saussure. + + + + + +Type +species: + +Pareumenes +( +Brachyparmenes +) +punctatissimus +Giordani Soika, 1987 + +, by original designation and monotypy. + + + + + + + + +Interzumia +Gusenleitner, 2002: 307 + + +, 317, genus. + + + + +Type +species: + +Interzumia rufonigra +Gusenleitner, 2002 + +, by original designation and monotypy. +Syn. nov. + + + + + +Notes. +Gusenleitner (2002) +described the monotypic genus + +Interzumia + +to accommodate the new species + +Interzumia rufonigra + +.

Examination of some specimens of - + P. sansibaricus occidentalis , including the type series, however revealed several morphological characters that allow to consider - + P. occidentalis a distinct species: wider gena, entirely striate propodeal depression, T1 more robust, longitudinally furrowed and without translucent apical margin, and pubescence of head and mesosoma brownish and less evident. These characters are shared with - + P. laterorufofasciatus , from which - + P. occidentalis is readily distinguished by the long and acute lateral projections of propodeum and the dorsal faces of propodeum with large yellow markings. diff --git a/data/64/52/87/645287DF452C8D6CFF79FA6DB1FA14DA.xml b/data/64/52/87/645287DF452C8D6CFF79FA6DB1FA14DA.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..ff82e5346dd --- /dev/null +++ b/data/64/52/87/645287DF452C8D6CFF79FA6DB1FA14DA.xml @@ -0,0 +1,180 @@ + + + +Revision of the Afrotropical species of Pareumenes de Saussure (Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae) + + + +Author + +Selis, Marco + +text + + +Zootaxa + + +2025 + +2025-02-07 + + +5584 + + +2 + + +205 +227 + + + + +https://doi.org/10.11646/zootaxa.5584.2.3 + +journal article +10.11646/zootaxa.5584.2.3 +1175-5326 +14830818 +7B1FD4B9-4280-4B52-91DC-36A7E2D10AAE + + + + + + + +Pareumenes +( +Nortonia +) +mochii +Giordani Soika, 1938 + + + + + + + +( +Fig. 6 +) + + + + + + + +Pareumenes mochii +Giordani Soika, 1938: 113 + + +, +♀ +(in subgenus + +Nortonia + +) + + + + +— + +“ +Somalia italiana +: +Warden +” ( +MSNVE +) + +. + + + + + +Diagnosis. +Placed in the subgenus + +Nortonia + +due to the propodeal valvula not markedly exceeding the apex of the propodeum and the bell-shaped, short and basally angled T1, it is recognized from the other species of the subgenus by the mostly impunctate and velvety body, the short clypeus with apical margin narrower than interantennal space, the strongly convex and bulging vertex and gena, the absence of the pronotal carina, the weakly sinuate lateral carina of propodeum, the decolorate and reflexed apical margin of T2, the basally bulging S2 with a longitudinal ridge limited to the basal bulge, and the extensive yellow and bright red pattern on black background. + + + + +Material examined. + + +HOLOTYPE +OF + +PAREUMENES MOCHII + +: + +♀ +labeled “Coll. +A.
