Revision of Alaptus (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) in the Holarctic region, with taxonomic notes on some extralimital species Author Serguei V. Triapitsyn text Zootaxa 2017 2017-06-21 4279 1 1 92 journal article 31845 10.11646/zootaxa.4279.1.1 bd2c96f3-38a4-4d90-85d6-9b90db5936fe 1175-5326 1010234 9A6B42AF-E5B1-488D-9C15-4868E96F0363 Alaptus pygidialis Ogloblin, 1959 ( Figs 194–196 ) Alaptus pygidialis Ogloblin 1959 : 43 (illustrations), 44–46. Type locality: San Mateo , Esmeraldas (misspelled as “ Esmeralfa ” in the original description), Ecuador . Alaptus pygidialis Ogloblin : De Santis 1979 : 362 (catalog); Yoshimoto 1990 : 24 (list). FIGURES 194–196. Alaptus pygidialis ♀ (holotype, photographs courtesy of D.A. Aquino): 194, slide; 195, habitus; 196, antenna. Type material examined. Holotype female [ MLPA ] on slide ( Fig. 194 ) labeled: 1. “ Alaptus pygidialis A. Ogl. 1959 ♀ Holotypus . Rep. Ecuador , Esme-raldas , Part. San Mateo, 19.VI.1956 . Juan Förster Leg. ”; 2. “ Mittelungen der Münchner Entomolo-gischen Gessel-schaft. E . V. 49 Jahrg. 1959 p44-6”; 3. [ MLPA type number] “3948/1”. Note that the published collection date in the original description (“5 de julio 1956 ”, p. 44) does not match the one on the holotype slide, but such inconsistencies were quite common in A.A. Ogloblin’s publications (Triapitsyn et al. 2010). Distribution. Neotropical: Ecuador . Hosts. Unknown. Comments. Illustrated here are, to facilitate recognition of this taxon, habitus of the holotype of A. pygidialis ( Fig. 195 ) and also its antenna ( Fig. 196 ). This species has the fore wing with a row of 6 or 7 setae on the disc closer to its anterior margin and a rather short ovipositor. While visiting MLPA in April 2017 , I sorted A.A. Ogloblin’s specimens of Alaptus to morphospecies; among them were at least two undesribed species from Misiones, Argentina, habitus of which is more or less similar to that of A. pygidialis , which itself could occur there as well.
