This paper is not merely a list of types but includes various nomenclatorial changes, new combinations, much synonymy, various new names and the selection of lectotypes. PREFACE THE types of numerous Proctotrupoid-species are scattered all over the world in various museums, institutions and, last but not least, also in private collections. The types of European species, in particular, are preserved in various places. This is, of course, a considerable disadvantage and an obstacle to taxonomic research. 4 L. MASNER The location of certain old collections is known and we can presume that they contain types. This is true of the Forster, Haliday, Thomson, Walker and West- wood collections. Unfortunately, most of the European species were described by Kieffer and it is known that he did not keep any special private collection. His types are deposited, unrecognised, in many museums and a good deal of work is needed to recover them and establish their validity. The importance of studying types is becoming more and more necessary, parti- cularly in groups that are insufficiently known from the taxonomic point of view. It is obvious that the primary task is to recognise, revise and establish the “‘old”’ species rather than describe new ones. To achieve this aim, the first step is to make lists of types available for all students. I agree with the conclusions of Kerrich (1960) concerning the state of our knowledge of the parasitic Hymenoptera but am convinced that the problem of types is of the greatest importance for the essential improvement of the taxonomy of this group of insects. INTRODUCTION During the autumn of 1961 I had the opportunity of working in the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) and the Hope Department of Entomology at Oxford. These institutions, especially the first, possess a considerable number of types of Procto- trupoidea. In London I found many Kieffer types of hitherto unknown location. My aim was to examine the whole of the material at my disposal and to publish a list of the types it contained. There were, of course, various difficulties to overcome, particularly with regard to the selection of lectotypes, since most of the species were represented only by syntypes. Because of the regular exchange of material between Walker and Haliday, the types of some of Walker’s species are now in the Haliday collection. This refers to species of Telenomus and Teleas (=~Trvimorus Forster) described by him as well as to a few species of Platygasteridae. Since Haliday’s collection was not examined by me in its entirety but is now being studied by M. R. W. de V. Graham, I have preferred not to include in the present list the types contained in this collection ; a list of them will be published later by Dr. Graham. Altogether, the types of 780 species have been examined : 24 of Proctrupidae, 76 of Ceraphronidae, 256 of Diapriidae, 341 of Scelionidae and 84 of Platygasteridae. Genera and species are arranged alphabetically. In the collections of the British Museum I found certain specimens marked as types. Since these “types” represent nothing but MS names, they are omitted from the present list. This paper is not a mere list of types but includes also various nomenclatorial changes as well as other data considered to be useful. Several genera and many species were wrongly placed systematically. The reader will therefore find many new combinations, much synonymy and various new names. For each holotype (or paratypes if the species is represented only by these), I quote full data as given on the labels attached to the specimen. The number of paratypes and the state of TYPES OF PROCLOTRUPOIDEA 5 preservation of the holotype is also given. Generic synonymy is based exclusively on an examination of type material. Only new synonymy, or synonymy relevant to the present list, is given. The expression ““BMNH type-label” refers to type-labels used throughout the Dept. of Entomology, British Museum (Nat. Hist.). These have a red margin for holotypes and a yellow margin for paratypes (cotypes). Types of species described by Walker have a label with a green margin. The symbols “BMNH” and “OUM” indicate that the type is preserved in the collection of the British Museum (Nat. Hist.) or the Oxford University Museum (Hope Department of Entomology) respectively.

Apart from a brief initial dis- cussion of the isolated genera, the work is devoted to a study of the Microgasterini. This tribe is keyed to generic level with the inclusion of 8 new genera. The largest genus, A panteles, is broken down into 44 species-groups, of which 19 are worked out to species-level. Mvicrogaster of authors is divided into several genera, of which three have been lifted out of synonymy. The Microgaster-group of genera has received a treatment similar to that of Apanteles, the largest of them, Pyotomicroplitis, being split into 20 species-groups, of which 10 are keyed to species. Altogether, 360 species are dealt with. INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BECAUSE of their economic significance and the frequency with which they are bred from their lepidopterous hosts, the Microgasterinae have come to occupy a somewhat special position among the Braconidae. It cannot be said, however, that their classification has ever been sufficiently stable to accommodate the many hundreds of species that have been described. The weight of information concerning a new species has thus tended to shift onto knowledge of its host rather than rest securely on an awareness of what characterises the species as morphologically distinct. This weakness was recognised by the late D. S. Wilkinson as is amply shown by the painstaking papers he published with great frequency between 1927 and 1941. The most ambitious of these were his “ Revision of the Ethiopian species of Apanteles ”’ which appeared in 1932 and the posthumous “ Palearctic species of Apanteles’”’, published in 1945. The former of these two works is important for it embodied Wilkinson’s ideas on how best the genus A panteles could be subdivided for the practical purpose of finding 4 GJE. Jan Ron within its wide limits an appropriate place for the new species that passed constantly into hishands. The later monograph comprises as much as he was able to finish of his project to revise the Apanteles of the Palearctic region. More recent contributions have been provided by de Saeger (1944) who worked out the Microgasterinae of the Belgian Congo, Granger (1949) who included a revision of the Microgasterinae in his work on the Braconidae of Madagascar and Telenga (1955), who has monographed the group for the U.S.S.R. In N. America, Muesebeck has been responsible for nearly all the work that has been done on the Microgasterinae and his two major revisions (1920 and 1922) have not been superseded. The above writers have provided the main sources from which I have culled information concerning the traditional classification of the Microgasterinae. As for the actual material on which this revision is based, I have had at my disposal the very large amount of material accumulated by Wilkinson and received by him from almost every part of the world. I have also had the added advantage of being able to study the various rich collections of Microgasterinae that have been acquired by the British Museum from various sources. And last, but by no means least, I have been immensely helped in formulating ideas about the classification of these parasites by the fine collection of Microgasterinae made by C. F. Baker in the Philippines and lent to me by the authorities of the U.S. National Museum who, in forebearing to reclaim a loan of many years’ standing, have shown a patience and understanding of which I am deeply appreciative. In addition, various entomologists have helped me. I express special thanks to Dr. C. F. W. Muesebeck of the Bureau of Entomology, U.S. National Museum for much kind help and to Mr. R. L. E. Ford for his persistence in trying to secure for me series of rare or little known species from Great Britain, by breeding them from their hosts. Others who earn my sincere thanks are: Dr. Max Fischer (Naturhistorisches Museum, Vienna) ; Dr. Ch. Granger ; Dr. Wolter Hellén (Helsinki Museum) ; Dr. E. Papp (Bakonyi Museum, Veszprém) ; Dr. H. K. Townes. Finally, a few words are necessary about the treatment of species. For some genera and groups of species within genera, all information about the species is given within an extended key. But in my treatment of the ater-group of Apanteles and a few other groups, most of the information is given in the text, separately from the key. All the drawings were done by me ; they are intended to be used comparatively and without their help not much progress is likely to be made through the keys. TERMINOLOGY In describing the various veins and cells of the wings I have followed Rohwer and Gahan (1916). Their system has been used extensively by workers on parasitic Hymenoptera, although it finds little support in more recent studies on the homolo- gies of the insect wing. Unfortunately, the Rohwer—Gahan system, itself an attempt to stabilise what was most useful in the original Jurinean system, has not RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERINI 5 always been consistently applied and confusion has arisen over the application of some of the terms. The reader is referred to Text-fig. 1 for an explanation of the wing terminology used in this work ; the modern notation is added in brackets.

The Microgasterini, limited by Telenga to Apanteles, Microgaster, Microplitis and Hygroplitis is almost exactly coextensive with the tribe as I have interpreted it in this work. Telenga’s Cardiochilini contains the two genera, Cardiochiles Nees and Asto- cardiochiles Telenga. The subfamily Cardiochilinae is reduced to the status of a tribe but its content, though a little smaller, remains unchanged. Szepligeti (1904) included in the Cardiochilinae only three genera : Cardiochiles Nees, Toxoneuron Say and Psilophthalmus Szepligeti. Toxoneuron, along with several other genera either unknown to Szepligeti or described after the appearance of the Genera Insectorum, has been sunk as a synonym of Cardiochiles by Muesebeck and Walkley (1951). Psilophthalmus, which I know from a single specimen (unnamed) from Peru and identified by Mrs. J. Clark in the British Museum (Natural History), is certainly close to Cardiochiles, though showing several uncharacteristic features. I think Telenga is right in stressing the affinity of Cardiochiles s.1. with the Micro- gasterini by means of the tribal concept. Telenga’s Acoelinii is the least natural of the three tribes and is made up of the four genera, Mirax Haliday, Myriola Shestakov, Dirrhope Forster and Adelius Haliday. All these genera are discussed below. APANTELES Forster Muesebeck (1920 : 485) expressed the belief that Apanteles was a homogeneous group and not susceptible of division into smaller units. He therefore placed in synonymy all the genera into which Ashmead and Viereck had attempted to break up the genus. These genera have remained in disuse ever since. Nor has Muesebeck in any of his more recent papers on Apanteles modified his earlier opinion. Wilkinson (1932) divided Apanteles into five groups that he arbitrarily designated with the letters, A, F,S, Uand M. The first four of these, as he himself admits, were essentially extensions of the four sections proposed by Marshall in 1885 for the British species. Later, Wilkinson (1934 : 155) added a sixth group to which he gave the letter G. Wilkinson’s subdivisions were used by de Saeger (1944) and Granger (1949) but not by Telenga who, nevertheless, could not avoid using the fundamental characters on which the subdivisions are based. Of Wilkinson’s groups, A and F represent for the most part natural aggregates. The others are too artificial to have taxonomic value. Group S, which Wilkinson reserved for all species having a propodeal areola, can be split into two main divisions that are convergent in that they both possess this areola or at least a vestige of it. In other respects they are widely dissimilar on a combination of characters, of which one, the shape of the vannal lobe of the hind wing, is striking and probably of philogenetic significance. This character, incidentally, is perhaps the most useful I have been RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERINI 7 able to find in my search for a means of dividing A panteles into smaller units. Making the fullest use of the few characters offered by Apanteles, so far as I have been able to discover them, I have subdivided the genus into 44 species-groups. Some of these such as the glomeratus-group (virtually coextensive with Wilkinson’s group F) are very large ; many others consist of less than half a dozen species, while several are based on a single species. These groups have, I believe, a certain homogeneity. Nevertheless, and although they emerge from an investigation of many hundreds of species from all parts of the world, they still lack that sharpness of definition that would justify generic status. In spite of what I have just said, I am convinced that if ever so large and unwieldy a genus as A panteles is going to be handled satisfactorily, a basis for generic cleavages will have to be found. The generic names exist and need only to be lifted out of synonymy. Their application, however, will require an investigation that explores more widely and deeply the world fauna than this one of mine does. In the meantime, by making use of the species-group concept and by fully exploit- ing the range of structural patterns occurring within A panteles, I have suggested the lines along which further investigation can, I believe, proceed. MICROGASTER Latreille of authors Microgaster, separated from Microplitis, as it has been, solely on the length of the inner spur of the hind tibia, is even more amorphous than Apanteles. The conclusion is inescapable that among the species lumped together in Microgaster, there are several evolutionary lines of descent. This is even more obvious than in A panteles, partly because “‘ Microgaster’’ species tend to be larger than species of Apanteles, their characters are better seen and morphological divergence seems to be sharper and more striking. I have found it expedient to take out of synonymy the genera Hypomucrogaster Ashmead, Protomicroplitis Ashmead and Xanthonucrogaster Cameron and to restrict drastically the concept of Muicrogaster Latreille itself. I have also made a few genera to accommodate known species already described in Microgaster and a few new species that would certainly have been covered by the older interpretation of the genus. Of the above genera, Protomicroplitis is by far the largest, and is abundantly represented throughout the tropics of the Old and New World. I have subdivided it into several species-groups, some of the smaller of which I have worked out to species level. Miucrogaster, as subsequently redefined, is chiefly confined to the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. MICROPLITIS Forster This, the third of the three traditional microgasterine genera, is in my opinion, the most homogeneous of them all. I have associated with it two new genera, one of 8 GE, Je NIZSON which is certainly artificial though based on a striking character while the other seems to be transitional towards the polyphyletic Mzcrogaster s.v. Snellenius Westwood, for all its bizarre appearance, represents only an extreme development of Microplitis. I have made no attempt to subdivide Microplitis into species-groups though this will need to be done eventually. MIRAX Haliday The position of this genus is doubtful but there is some justification, I think, for the suggestion put forward by my colleague, Dr. J. F. Perkins, that it could be regarded as the basic member of an independent tribe within the Microgasterinae, of world- wide distribution and containing a few closely related genera. The British Museum contains Mzrax from all parts of the world, especially S. Africa and Brazil. I have examined these specimens and recognised several distinct species among them. The species of Mivax show a remarkable uniformity in wing venation ; indeed, there is little departure from the pattern shown in Text-fig. 4. Variation occurs in the degree to which the stigma may be prolonged distally. When the distal narrow- ing is pronounced, the tip of the stigma tends to be more weakly pigmented than elsewhere. A differentiated metacarp is never present. In common with the Microgasterini, Mirax has the spiracles of the first tergite situated on the lateral, membranous part of the segment, remote from the more heavily sclerotised, median plate. ADELIUS Haliday =ACOELIUS auctt. This genus has no obvious relationship with Mzrax nor, in my opinion, has it any clear affinity with the Microgasterini, even at tribal level. Perkins has suggested that Adelius may be related to the Cheloninae, a view to which I give my support. Against it, of course, is the striking difference between the gaster of Adelius and that of the typical Cheloninae. The type-species, swbfasciatus Haliday, is remarkable in having the gaster smooth, polished and with no obvious suture between tergites I and (2 + 3). But there exist in the British Museum a few apparently undescribed S. African species, about whose affinity with Adelius there can be no question at all but in which tergites 1 and (2 + 3) have become entirely rugose and separated by a well marked suture. I regard these species as belonging to de Saeger’s Paradelius. In another unnamed S. African species, tergite (2 + 3) has become even more sculptured and lengthened and divided into its two component parts by a second rugose suture. The gaster in this species presents a strongly sclerotised carapace with two rugose sutures and concealing all the segments posterior to tergite (2 + 3). The gaster thus comes to have a deceptive resemblance to that commonly found in some of the genera of the Triaspidini (now in Blacinae, Muesebeck and Walkley, 1951). RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERINI 9 As a source of systematic affinities the gaster is notoriously unreliable and in almost all the subfamilies of the Braconidae it is possible to find examples in which tergites 1 and (2 + 3) have become fused, enlarged and heavily, rugosely sculptured. I have not made an exhaustive comparison of Adelius with the Cheloninae but apart from subtle resemblances in facies, not easily put into words, Adelius has the Fics. 2-4.

INTO, following chelonine features :—a long, bent scape ; the flagellum, at least in the female, thickened in the middle ; the hind femur swollen and with a somewhat abrupt basal constriction. In the few Adelius-Paradelius species referred to above, the venation has remained remarkably constant, except that in the species showing the highly modified, Triaspidini-like gaster, the metacarp is absent. MYRIOLA Shestakov Shestakov, 1932, Zool. Anz., 99 : 259. Synonymised under Adelius Haliday by Muesebeck and Walkley (1951). DIRRHOPE Forster Muesebeck (1935) considers this genus to be correctly placed in the Micro- gasterinae though he does not state how it stands in relation to the other genera. I have discovered amongst the British Museum accessions three specimens from S. Africa that agree well with Muesebeck’s generic description and also his figure of Dirrhope americana Mues. Frankly, I am unable to express a definite opinion about the position of this genus in its relationship with the other microgasterine genera and do no more than point to some of its more salient features in the key that follows later. PAROLIGONEURUS Muesebeck Muesebeck (1951) includes this genus in the Microgasterinae and in so doing confirms the opinion he expressed when he described it in 1931. It seems to me that Paroligoneurus, like Mirax, covers at present a closely knit group of species, among which generic splits may later be found to be feasible. I have examined some half dozen species from S. Africa, Brazil and Queensland and found a remarkable uniformity of structure. The venation conforms closely to that shown in Text-fig. 3 ; a curious and characteristic feature of it is the costad bend in the basal vein just before its junction with the prostigma. OLIGONEURUS Szepligeti Szepligeti, 1902, Teyvmészety. Fuz. 25 : 77. This genus is based on a Brazilian species and little can be said about it until the type is examined. Muesebeck (1922) included it in the Microgasterinae, giving a translation of the original description. It seems reasonable to conclude that the genus is related to Paroligoneurus, differing from it in having hairy eyes (teste Muesebeck). THE LIMILS OF THE SUB RAMITENY MICK OGAST PiUuN ATE The observations and opinions expressed above concerning the genera traditionally accepted as belonging to the Microgasterinae reflect in some measure my own views on how the subfamily should be composed. RECLASSIFICATION OF MICROGASTERINI II I consider that the Microgasterinae would be better restricted to the two tribes Microgasterini and Cardiochilini together with the genus Mivax which, as stated earlier on, might with justification be given tribal status. These three segregates have one important feature in common : the spiracle of the first tergite is situated on the lateral, membranous part of the tergite, remote from the sclerotised, median plate. It needs to be stressed, however, that otherwise no special resemblances unite them. Each, too, is sharply distinct from the others; nor, as far as I am aware, do they converge at any point. The tribe Microgasterini, numerically vastly superior to the Cardiochilini and Mirax, is remarkably homogeneous. Its two special features—the closed cubitellan cell and differentiated vannal lobe of the hind wing—remain constant throughout almost its entire range and, in combination with the spiracle of the first tergite, provide the essential characteristics of the tribe, and indeed of the subfamily Micro- gasterinae, since in my opinion the two are virtually synonymous. The Acoelinii as represented by Adelius and Paradelius could form more fittingly a tribe within the Cheloninae. This tribe shows no close relationship with any of the Microgasterini genera. Paroligoneurus resembles the Microgasterini only in having a reduced venation, though the reduction is not homologous in the two segregates. The finding of a new place for this genus outside the Microgasterinae and the possible raising of its status belong to the wider problem of revising the major classification of the Bracon- idae. Such a task will involve a survey of the world fauna, for it is ingenuous to expect that the existing subfamilies, based entirely on species of the North temperate region, can cover the enormous range of structure now known to exist within tropical Braconidae.

World-wide in distribution but commonest in temperate regions laevigatus-group (p. 181) THE ATER-GRouP Group S of Wilkinson, in part. Wilkinson’s group S was very broadly based and contained many species that I now consider as belonging to the wltor-group. The ultor-group is much more natural than the ater-group, from which it differs on a combination of three characters. These are :— (1) mesoscutum always with a distinct, sharp, discrete punctation and without a trace of striation or striate- punctation at the posterior end of the imaginary course of the notaulices ; (2) postero-lateral area of the propodeum distinctly transverse, whereas in the ater- group, if such an area is delimited at all, it is as long as, or slightly longer than, wide ; (3) vannal lobe, in sharp contrast with almost the whole of the aterv-group, with an evenly convex edge that is fringed throughout with very short hairs. The ater-group, on the other hand, lacks the homogeneity of the wltor-group, containing many aggregates of species that are not closely related but merge into one another through transitional forms. I have found it convenient to split off from the major group only a single, small assemblage of closely related species that I designate as the ewblemmae-subgroup ; except wis, these species are all African. The ater-group is well represented on the American continent. 26 Gale NIXON KEY TO SUBDIVISIONS OF THE dley-GROUP S.L. OF THE OLD WORLD A Propodeum with a distinct areola and a costula that, in its extension towards the lateral margin of the propodeum, forks to enclose the spiracle ; frequently only the posterior fork is present ; if the costula and its forks are virtually absent, then the surface of the propodeum still shows much coarse rugosity. Metacarp of the fore wing much longer than its distance from the apex of the radial cell, except in argiope and ippeus ; . ater-group (in part) (p. 26) B_ Propodeum with at most a feebly defined areola and never with a costula ; hence, the spiracle neither wholly nor in part enclosed by keels ; propodeum to sides of areola with a dull microsculpture or even nearly smooth, or, if rather strongly rugose (tvabea), then the metacarp hardly one and half times longer than its distance from the apex of the radial cell. Small, dark-legged spp. with the hind tibia deeply infuscate to blackish ; linus is exceptional in respect of leg colour ; gaster beyond tergite 2, that is, beyond the mid-basal field of tergite (2 + 3), always with a dull sheen eublemmae-subgroup (p. 104) The ATER-group (in part) KEY TO SPECIES FEMALES 1 Whole body yellow-fulvous.
