Taxon classification Animalia Hymenoptera Cynipidae
Aulacidea idoneus (Belizin, 1973)
comb. n.
Periclistus idoneus
Belizin, 1973: 26.
Type material.
1 ♀ deposited in ZIN, with the following labels: Herfeish, 22.IV, Israel, V. Trjapitzin ' 966" (black label, handwritten in Russian), " Holotype
Periclistus idoneus
♀ m., V. Belizin det" (red label, handwritten),
Aulacidea idoneus
Belizin, 1973, det. JP-V 2015" (white label, printed).
Comments.
After examining the holotype, we conclude that this species belongs to genus
Aulacidea
. After determining the specimen following the Palaearctic
Aulacidea
species key made by
Melika (2006)
we conclude that this species is a valid species related to
Aulacidea laureae
Nieves-Aldrey, 1992 and
Aulacidea follioti
Barbotin, 1972. The three species present the head broader than high, 13-segmented antenna, F1 shorter than F2, incomplete notauli and ciliated forewing margin.
Aulacidea idoneus
differs from
Aulacidea follioti
in presenting median mesoscutal line, like
Aulacidea laureae
;
Aulacidea idoneus
can be distinguished from
Aulacidea laureae
by the following characters: short and narrow scutelar foveae, OOL 3.0 times longer than the diameter of lateral ocellus, space between totuli and clypeus without radiating carina, having shorter notauli and medial mesoscutal line shorter (both extending 1/3 of scutum length) and radial cell (slightly more than 2.0 times longer than broad) and having a second metasomal tergite with only some dorsal points while being laterally smooth.
