Revision of Ceranisus and the related thrips-attacking entedonine genera (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) of the world Author Triapitsyn, Serguei V. text African Invertebrates 2005 2005-12-31 46 261 315 journal article 10.5281/zenodo.7909932 2305-2562 7909932 Goetheana rabelaisi sp. n. Figs 1–3 Etymology: Continuing A.A. Girault’s trend to name some taxa after the great poets and writers of the past (particularly in this genus), I am naming this new species after François Rabelais. Figs 1–3. Goetheana rabelaisi sp. n. , male: (1, 2) holotype: (1) antenna, (2) forewing; (3) genitalia (paratype). Scale lines = 0.1 mm. Diagnosis: Male scape moderately swollen (1.8–2.0 x as long as wide). Forewing with numerous setae behind marginal vein arranged in about 4 irregular rows ( Fig. 2 ), that distinguishes this species from C. pushkini sp. n. Description: Female. Unknown. Male ( holotype and 2 paratypes ). Colour (of slide-mounted specimens) of head and mesosoma brown, metasoma yellow or brownish-yellow, appendages light brown. Antenna ( Fig. 1 ) with scape moderately swollen, 1.8–2.0 x as long as wide; flagellum with F1 longer than wide. Mesosoma smooth except midlobe of mesoscutum with faint cellulate sculpture. Forewing ( Fig. 2 ) about 5 x as long as wide; longest marginal setae 2.0–2.2 x maximal forewing width; disc slightly infumated and with about 4 irregular rows of setae behind venation, otherwise bare except for a few scattered setae along margins in the broadest part (beyond venation). Hind wing narrow, about 13 x as long as wide; disc bare except for an irregular row of setae along each margin. Genitalia as in Fig. 3 . Measurements (n=1, holotype ): Body: 738. Antenna: scape: 94; pedicel: 55; F1: 21; F2: 28; clava: 62. Forewing: 455/91; longest marginal seta: 191. Hind wing: 394/30; longest marginal seta: 139. Genitalia: 86. Holotype : Male on slide, labelled: 1. “ AUSTRALIA : Australian Capital Territory , Canberra , Black Mountain , 9.iv.1995 , L. A. Mound , Collector’s code: 2639. On Exocarpus cupressiformis in association with Anaphothrips exocarpi . Mounted at UCR/ERM by V.V. Berezovskiy 2004 in Canada balsam”; 2. (red) “ Goetheana rabelaisi S. Triapitsyn HOLOTYPE ơ” [ ANIC ]. Paratypes : Same data as the holotype, 2ơ on slides [ ANIC , UCRC ] . Hosts: Anaphothrips exocarpi Pitkin (according to the original label). Comments: The type series of this species was remounted in Canada balsam at UCRC from Hoyer’s medium on a single slide, on which all three specimens had been mounted originally under the same coverslip together with a female of Stethynium sp. ( Hymenoptera : Mymaridae ). The original labels were as follows (now glued onto the bottom of the paratype slide retained at UCRC): 1. “ Exocarpus cupressiformis in association with Anaphothrips exocarpi A.C.T. Canberra Black Mt. 9.iv.1995 LA Mound 2639”; 2. “n. sp.? Goetheana (Eulophidae) x 3ơ Mymaridae x 1 = Stethynium sp. ^ Det. S. Triapitsyn 1999 Hoyer’s”. The holotype is in a very good condition but missing one of the hind wings.
