A Revision of the Encyrtid Genus Callipteroma Motchulsky (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae).

Abstract

A revision of the species of the genus Callipteroma Motschulsky (= Calocerinella Girault, syn. nov.) is presented. A key is provided for the six recognized species: albiclava, sp, nov., australia Girault (=dei Girault, syn. nov.), nigra Mercet, quinqueguttata Motschulsky (=guttatipennis Girault, syn. nov. =guttatipennis io Girault, syn. nov.), sexguttata Motschulsky, testacea Motschulsky (=trifasciatus Girault, syn. nov. = trifasciatipennis Girault, syn. nov. =penangi Girault, syn. nov. =geminus Girault, syn. nov.); and for two further species which are not formally described. Callipteroma subfasciata Szelenyi is transferred to Leptomastix (comb. nov.).
