Anomopterellidae Restored, with Two New Genera and Its Phylogeny in Evanioidea (Hymenoptera)

چکیده
BACKGROUND Anomopterellidae was originally classified as a family within the Evanioidea, and later lowered to a subfamily, Anomopterellinae, of Praeaulacidae. Up to date, only Rasnitsyn 1975, with four species, was assigned to Anomopterellinae. Due to their special wing venation and their metasomal attachment similar to those known in Evanioidea, the systematic position of Anomopterellinae in Evanioidea has been in contention. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS Here we report a new fossil genus Synaphopterella gen. nov. and six species from the Middle Jurassic of China and transfer Anomopterella stenocera Rasnitsyn, 1975, from Upper Jurassic of Kazakhstan, to Choristopterella gen. nov. We place these three genera in the restored family Anomopterellidae and provide a key to known genera and species. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE Based on new fossil specimens and phylogenetic analyses, Praeaulacidae has the most basal position in Evanioidea and it is justifiable to restore Anomopterellidae Rasnitsyn, 1975 as a full family. Comparing the size of all described anomopterellids from China, Mongolia and Kazakhstan, we conclude that the species from China have larger bodies and forewings. Diversity of the Praeaulacidae and Anomopterellidae in the late Middle Jurassic of Daohugou suggests that Evanioidea appeared at least before the late Middle Jurassic.

متن کاملGasteruption youngi sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Evanioidea: Gasteruptiidae) from South Australia; an unusual species with trichoid sensilla on the ovipositor sheaths.
Gasteruption youngi, sp. nov. (Evanioidea: Gasteruptiidae) is described based on several female specimens from South Australia. The new species is unusual in that it has stout trichoid sensilla on the ovipositor sheaths and long, thin trichoid sensilla on metasomal tergites T3-T8. The likely host is the colletid bee Euryglossula microdonta (Rayment, 1934).
