Can I read Phylogenetics and classification of the world genera of Diparinae (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) on EtoBox?
Phylogenetics and classification of the world genera of Diparinae (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) by CHRISTOPHER A. DESJARDINS is a Agricultural and Biological Sciences article available to read on EtoBox.
What is Phylogenetics and classification of the world genera of Diparinae (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) about?
A morphological phylogenetic analysis of the world genera of Diparinae (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) is provided, and the generic classification is revised. A hypothesized phylogeny is given based on 73 characters, primarily from adult females. The diparines are supported as monophyletic in all analyses based on 4–6 synapomorphies depending on their sister-group, including the presence of a cercal brush which is synapomorphic in all analyses. The cercal brush, in combination with the absence of a smooth, convex dorsellum, is diagnostic for Diparinae. Liepara Bou...ek (Pteromalidae: subfamily inquirenda) and Bohpa Darling (Pteromalidae: Ceinae) both appear as sister-group to Diparinae in different analyses. In the proposed classification scheme, Diparinae consists of 116 species in 14 genera. Nine genera are removed from Diparinae, two of which are placed in synonymy: Calolelaps Timberlake, Dinarmolaelaps Masi, Mesolelaps Ashmead, Neolelaps Ashmead, and Stictolelaps Timberlake are placed in Pteromalinae (Pteromalidae), while Seyrigina Risbec is placed in Eulophinae (Eulophidae); Diparisca Hedqvist is synonymized under Spalangiopelta Masi (Pteromalidae: Ceinae); Bekiliella Risbec is sy
