A taxonomic review of the parasitoid wasp genera Furcidentia Zettel and Pseudophanerotoma Zettel (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Cheloninae) from the Neotropics with the description of four new species Author Kittel, Rebecca N. text Zootaxa 2018 2018-09-27 4486 2 146 160 journal article 29548 10.11646/zootaxa.4486.2.4 4f9269d2-8566-473d-b29c-f01db41b5e34 1175-5326 1436697 AB64D470-D117-45C4-9FCD-ACF4A9CBD1C9 Genus Pseudophanerotoma Zettel, 1990 ( Figs 4–7 , 10 ) Pseudophanerotoma Zettel, 1990 : 164 ; subgenus Pseudophanerotoma Zettel, 1990 : 166 . Type species: Phanerotoma thapsina Walley 1951 : 305 (CNC), examined. Pseudophanerotoma : Cushman, 1922 : 27 ; da Costa Lima, 1956 : 221 ; Zettel, 1992 : 277 ; Shaw, 1997 : 195 ; Campos & Diego, 2001 : 199 ; Gauld & Shaw, 2006 : 499 ; Penteado-Dias et al. , 2008 : 402 ; Yu et al. , 2012 . Diagnosis. Eyes round, protruding, glabrous; ocelli as an equilateral triangle; hypostomal carina reaching occipital carina; clypeus with two teeth; malar suture absent; occipital carina complete; antenna with more than 25 antennomeres; notauli present; scutellar sulcus present; blister on mid tibia present; fore wing with 1-SR+M present, emanating from 1-M; 2-R1 absent; R not extending to apex of wing; 1-cu1 postfurcal, 2-SR+M postfurcal, with three radial abscissae present; 3-SR postfurcal; subdiscal cell closed (cu1b present); cua postfurcal; lateral propodeal tubercles absent or present; metasomal carapace with traverse sutures; without lobes on postero-lateral end of carapace. Distribution. Previously known from both the Neotropical and Nearctic regions, specifically Brazil , Ecuador , Paraguay , Panama , Peru , and USA . Its distribution is here expanded to include Guatemala and French Guiana . Biology. Pseudophanerotoma ( P. ) alvarengai Zettel is known to parasitise the tortricid Cydia tonosticha (Meyrick, 1922) ( Penteado-Dias et al. , 2008 ). Remarks. Zettel (1990) erected the genus Pseudophanerotoma , based on four newly described species and three species, which hitherto belonged to the genus Phanerotoma ; P. zeteki (Cushman) , P. thapsina (Walley) and P. paranaensis (Costa Lima ). The majority of examined materials were available in both genders, except P. alvarengai Zettel (only the ♀ ), P. paranaensis (Costa Lima ) (only the ♂ ), P. maculosa Zettel (only the ♂ ) and P. peruana Zettel (only the ♂ ). Penteado-Dias et al. (2008) have described the male of P. alvarengai . With the description of the male of P. thapsina (Walley) and of the female of P. paranaensis (Costa Lima ) here, I close some of those gaps and only the female of P. maculosa remains unknown.
