Abstract

Background

The checklist of British and Irish Braconidae is revised, based in large part on the collections of the National Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh, and the Natural History Museum, London. Distribution records are provided at the country level together with extensive synonymy and bibliography.

New information

Of the 1,338 species regarded as valid, presumed native and certainly identified, 83 are here recorded for the first time from the British Isles. One new synonym is established (Dyscritus suffolciensis Morley, 1933 = Syntretus splendidus (Marshall, 1887) syn. nov.)

Keywords

Britain, Ireland, fauna, Ichneumonoidea

Introduction

The Braconidae is one of two families of the superfamily Ichneumonoidea, along with the Ichneumonidae. Given the size of each family in Britain (over 1,300 braconids and 2,500 ichneumonids) we are publishing the two checklists separately. This is one part of a series of papers revising the British and Irish list of Hymenoptera, that started with Broad and Livermore (2014a), Broad and Livermore (2014b) and Liston et al. (2014). For the background and rationale behind these British Hymenoptera checklists see Broad (2014). The bases for the taxonomy are Fauna Europaea and Taxapad (Yu et al. 2012) (braconid data for both compiled by Kees van Achterberg) but we have not relied on these sources for data on species occurrence in Britain. Rather, we have relied mostly on the primary literature and collections, especially NMS and BMNH. Indeed, large parts of the checklist rely on original work, identifying specimens in these collections.

Much of the synonymy adopted here is equivalent to the German list (Belokobylskij et al. 2003) but where there are taxonomic differences of opinion, usually van Achterberg’s interpretation has been followed, largely for consistency with Fauna Europaea, but also because of van Achterberg’s experience with many groups of braconids. The biggest departure from these sources is in the generic classification of Microgastrinae, for which we largely follow Mason (1981).

We reference all additions to and deletions from the British list since Huddleston (1978) and record country-level distribution within the British Isles, but regarding Ireland as one. We made much use of O'Connor et al. (1999) for Irish records. Because the braconid literature is extensive and scattered we also provide many taxonomic references. The braconid section of the 1978 British checklist (Huddleston 1978) repeats many of Shenefelt’s (e.g. Shenefelt 1973, Shenefelt 1974) mistakes and these are rectified here.

Figs 1, 2, 3, 4 illustrate a tiny part of the morphological and biological diversity of Braconidae. Shaw and Huddleston (1991) provide an introduction to the varied biology of this family of parasitoid wasps.

Materials and methods

For a more detailed description of the background and rationale to the Hymenoptera checklist, see Broad (2014). We have tried to account for every name on the 1978 (Huddleston 1978) checklist and have referenced all additions to and deletions from that list. We provide rather extensive synonymy and citations because if you do not have access to the Taxapad database (Yu et al. 2012) it can be very difficult to trace the fate of names in the voluminous and scattered literature. Conventions and abbreviations are listed below.

Genus Dinotrema Förster, 1863

Distribution:

Horizon:

Notes:

Wharton (1980) summarises the arguments against recognition of the genus Synaldis; Achterberg (1988b) likewise notes that the genus is defined only by the absence of fore wing vein 2-SR, which is known to be intraspecifically variable (Wharton 1980). Despite this, various authors attach great taxonomic weight to this venational character and maintain Synaldis as a valid genus (as reflected by the classification in Yu et al. 2012). Species that would be classified in Synaldis (acutidentata, concolor, distracta and globipes) are listed here in Aspilota and Dinotrema, according to Fauna Europaea. Some distribution data from Stelfox and Graham (1951b), Stelfox and Graham (1951a) and Achterberg (1988a). The late T. Munk was revising the European species of Aspilotas.l. and gave much helpful advice on the generic placements of the species occurring in Britain and Ireland, some of which is unpublished and will therefore differ from the generic combinations found in, e.g. Belokobylskij et al. (2003) and Taxapad (Yu et al. 2012). Munk also advised that although Aspilota is a well-defined genus, Dinotrema is not defined by any apomorphies and will be split up.

Species excluded from the British and Irish list:

[pusillum (Nees, 1812, Bassus)] T. Munk (pers. comm.) regarded this as an unidentified species; the type has been destroyed.

Griffiths (1964) proposed that Polemochartus and Coelinidea should be included as subgenera of Coelinius. Wharton and Austin (1991), Wharton (1994) and Kula (2008) supported the concept of an enlarged Coelinius but, pointing to intermediate taxa in the Oriental Region, argued against the retention of subgenera. Achterberg (2014) retains the three genera which is current European usage and is followed here pending a modern review of the group.

Subfamily Microgastrinae Förster, 1863

Distribution:

Horizon:

Notes:

The generic classification of Microgastrinae broadly follows Papp (1988), based on Mason’s (Mason 1981) phylogenetic treatment of microgastrines that split up the large genus ‘Apanteles’, which in turn built upon Nixon’s (Nixon 1965) assignment of ‘Apanteles’ into species groups. We do not follow van Achterberg’s (Achterberg 2003c) recent generic revision (reflected in Fauna Europaea), which reassigned many genera to Apanteles and Protapanteles. We consider this reclassification to be premature, being based on very little explicit character evidence and, with its concentration on western Palaearctic species, not really addressing the affinities of most of the world’s microgastrine species. However, there are undoubted merits to van Achterberg’s treatment as not all of the genera currently employed are well-defined. The following genera are recognised as valid by van Achterberg (2003c): Apanteles (=Choeras, Dolichogenidea, Iconella, Illidops, Pholetesor), Cotesia, Deuterixys, Diolcogaster, Hygroplitis, Microgaster, Microplitis, Paroplitis and Protapanteles (=Distatrix, Glyptapanteles, Rasivalva, Sathon). Some distribution data taken from Nixon (1965), Nixon (1968), Nixon (1970), Nixon (1972), Nixon (1973), Nixon (1974), Nixon (1976), remainder from Shaw (2012) and NMS.

The generic placement of several species treated by Nixon (1973) in his metacarpalis group, here largely apportioned between Apanteles and Dolichogenidea following Papp (1988), is questionable (cf. Achterberg 2003c).

species of Apanteles excluded from the British and Irish list:

[anomalon (Curtis, 1830, Microgaster)] This name appeared in Huddleston (1978) but is not listed by Papp (1988) or Achterberg (2003c) and remains uninterpreted.

[nigripes (Ratzeburg, 1844, Microgaster)] This name appeared in Huddleston (1978) but is not listed by Papp (1988) or Achterberg (2003a).

[picipes (Bouché, 1834, Microgaster)] Papp (1987) intended to deal with this name, with a footnote in that paper saying that it would be dealt with under A. xanthostigma, but there is no mention there of picipes. It is presumed that the name picipes is a synonym or a nomen dubium; it is not listed as a valid species by Achterberg (2003c).

[cerialis (Nixon, 1976, Apanteles); syn. areolaris (Balevski & Tobias, 1980, Apanteles) preocc.] Listed as a British species by Huddleston (1978) in error, only known from southern and Eastern Europe and Israel.

[ensiformis (Ratzeburg, 1844, Microgaster)] Listed as a British species by Huddleston (1978) in error (see note under Napamus vipio).

[evonymellae (Bouché, 1834, Microgaster); syn. iarbas (Nixon, 1972, Apanteles)] Listed as a British species by Huddleston (1978) in error, there are no British records.

Added by Shaw (2012). Papp (1988) notes, but does not follow, the view that appellator may be the valid name (cf. Kotenko and Tobias 1986). Shaw (2012) has found that reared ‘appellator’ and ‘litae’ appear to be conspecific. The situation is complicated by Nixon's (Nixon 1972) treatment of some series (from a different host in Cyprus, and from Egypt) as ‘litae var operculellae’, and it is this that Papp (1988)lists as a junior synonym of appellator.

[vipio (Reinhard, 1880, Apanteles)] Mistakenly listed as a British species by Kloet and Hincks (1945) and Huddleston (1978). Shenefelt (1973) listed it as British on the misunderstanding that Morley and Rait-Smith (1933) had produced a catalogue of British Lepidoptera-parasitoid asscociations, whereas their listings also included non-British rearings from hosts that occur in Britain. Morley and Rait-Smith (1933) cite Marshall (1896) as the source of host records for vipio, who does not mention Britain. Apanteles vipio was transferred from Illidops by Papp (1993).

species of Cotesia excluded from the British and Irish list:

[acuminata (Reinhard, 1880, Apanteles); cultrator (Marshall, 1885, Apanteles)] Not a British or Irish species. Marshall’s description was based on unprovenanced material reared from a host that, on inspection by MRS, is almost certainly not British. The current synonymy is also in doubt.

[ordinaria (Ratzeburg, 1844, Microgaster); syn. dendrolimi (Matsumura, 1926, Apanteles); dendrolimusi (Matsumura, 1926, Apanteles)] Although listed as a British species by various authors we can find no evidence that it has occurred here.

[saltator (Thunberg, 1824, Ichneumon) preocc.] Appeared in Huddleston (1978) as Roman (1912) incorrectly synonymised tenebrosa under saltator.

Notes:

Generic placement in doubt; some authors place both fausta and lateralis in Sathon. Papp (1983) synonymised fausta under Apanteles eugeni Papp, 1972 but later (Papp 1988) rescinded his action. Unfortunately Papp (1972) had chosen a non-reared specimen as holotype but a paratype of eugeni reared from Anthophila fabriciana (Linnaeus) is in BMNH and appears to be conspecific with fausta (described from this host). It seems probable that Papp's (Papp 1983) synonymy was justified but, as this requires further investigation, the name fausta is retained for now.

LISSOGASTER Bengtsson, 1926

Distribution:

Horizon:

Notes:

The current usage of the name Microgaster was restored by Opinion 1510 (ICZN 1988), after temporarily being applied to the genus here called Microplitis (with Microgaster as currently understood being referred to Lissogaster). This was an unfortunate name change as it coincided with Papp’s (Papp 1976, Papp 1984) revisions of the genera, as well as several other important papers. Unless noted otherwise, distribution data taken from NMS, Nixon (1968) and Shaw (2012). Papp’s (Papp 1976) subsequent revision of the genus added many species to Nixon’s (Nixon 1968) revision, and Achterberg (1997) established the precedence of several Haliday names.

species of Microgaster excluded from the British and Irish list:

[auriculata (Fabricius, 1804, Ichneumon)] Listed as doubtfully British by Huddleston (1978) on the basis of Papp’s (Papp 1976) listing of ‘?England’. No evidence that this is really a British or Irish species.

[deceptor Nixon, 1968] Listed as a British species by Huddleston (1978) in error; no evidence that this is a British or Irish species.

[fischeri Papp, 1960] British specimens, misidentified as fischeri by Nixon (1968), represented an undescribed species which was described by Shaw (2012) as raschkiellae.

[nobilis Reinhard, 1880; syn. compressifemur Fahringer, 1937] Listed as doubtfully British by Huddleston (1978) on the basis of Papp’s (Papp 1976) listing of ‘?England’. No evidence that this is really a British or Irish species.

[postica Nees, 1834; syn. marginella Wesmael, 1837; ?ruficoxis Ruthe, 1858] Recorded as British by Marshall (1885), but probably in error as his diagnosis appears not to have been a Microgaster species in the modern sense. Papp’s (Papp 1976) listing of England probably simply reflects Marshall’s record, as does the listing in Huddleston (1978), and there is no evidence that this is a British or Irish species.

The generic and tribal classification of opiines has been largely chaotic (Wharton 1988b). In Fauna Europaea, van Achterberg has enacted many taxonomic changes resulting from his work on Western Palaearctic Opiinae (in prep.), which are followed here. Some changes to the generic classification have been published by Wharton (1988b), van Achterberg (Achterberg 2004a, Achterberg 2004b, and in Belokobylskij et al. 2003) and by Li et al. (2013). Wharton (1988b) argued against recognition of tribes within Opiinae, except perhaps Ademonini (for the genus Ademon), with all the other genera in Opiini; van Achterberg (in prep.) does not recognise Ademonini. Some distribution data from Fischer (1958), Fischer (1967), Fischer (1997).

Although Wharton (1993) noted that the type (and only included) species of Compressaria is the same species as the type of Bathystomus, he did not formally synonymise these names and the synonymy has not been picked up on by, e.g. Belokobylskij et al. (2003) and Taxapad (Yu et al. 2012). Wharton (1988b) demonstrated that Bathystomus is a valid genus but Belokobylskij et al. (2003) treated it as a synonym of Diachasma. Van Achterberg (2014) formally synonymised Compressaria and pugnatrix. Huddleston (1978) included Compressaria pugnatrix as a species of Rogadinae.

Notes:

According to Walker and Wharton (2011), Opius paradoxus Ratzeburg, 1848, sometimes treated as a valid name (synonymous with abnormis) should be regarded as invalid as it was first proposed as a synonym of abnormis; Walker and Wharton (2011) also provide some locality data.

The generic name Stigmatopoea has been treated as a synonym of Xynobius by Achterberg (2004a) but the type species, macrocerus, has been regarded as a species of Eurytenes, a genus which was ignored by Achterberg (2004a). Both Xynobius and Stigmatopoea are treated as subgenera of Eurytenes, following Wharton (2006), although Li et al. (2013) again synonymised Stigmatopoea with Xynobius.

Acknowledgements

Kees van Achterberg kindly answered many braconid queries and provided much advice on the classification of Opiinae. Natalie Dale-Skey did a lot of valuable technical work on getting the data from text files into import spreadsheets. We are very grateful to the photographers who have let us use their lovely images.

Author contributions

The sections on subfamilies Microgastrinae and Rogadinae are mainly the work of MRS, the section on Dacnusini (Alysiinae) is mainly the work of HCJG, who also contributed to the Alysiini and Opiinae sections. The rest of the work was a joint effort between GRB and MRS, with the editing done by GRB.
