Abstract

Background

A revised checklist of the British and Irish Platygastroidea (Platygastridae) substantially updates the previous comprehensive checklist, dating from 1978. Distribution data (i.e. occurrence in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man) is reported where known.

New information

A total of 381 British and Irish Platygastroidea represents a 47% increase on the number of British and Irish species reported in 1978.

Keywords

Platygastridae, Platygastrinae, Scelionidae, Sparasionidae, Scelioninae, Sceliotrachelinae, Teleasinae, Telenominae, fauna

Introduction

This paper continues the series of checklists of the Hymenoptera of Britain and Ireland, starting with Broad and Livermore (2014a), Broad and Livermore (2014b) and Liston et al. (2014). The Introduction to the series (Broad 2014) sets out the background and rationale. Although there have been no comprehensive revisions of the majority of the platygastroid fauna there have been relatively recent catalogues of the Irish (O'Connor et al. 2004, O'Connor and Notton 2013) and British and Irish (Buhl and Notton 2009) faunas and a large body of taxonomic works describing and redescribing species that occur in the British Isles (e.g. Buhl 1995a, Buhl 1997, Buhl 2009b, Buhl 2009a, Buhl and Bennett 2009, Buhl and O'Connor 2010a, Buhl and O'Connor 2010c, Buhl and O'Connor 2011c, Mineo and O'Connor 2009, Notton 2006). The British and Irish list, at 381 confirmed species, is now 47% larger than in 1978 and there are probably many more species awaiting discovery.

Figs 1, 2 show some representative platygastroids. The Scelionidae (subfamilies Scelioninae, Teleasinae and Telenominae in Britain) and Sparasionidae comprise egg parasitoids, utilising a range of insects and spiders as hosts and acting as idiobiont endoparasitoids. In contrast, the vast majority of the Platygastridae (Platygastrinae and Sceliotrachelinae) are koinobiont egg-larval endoparasitoids of Cecidomyiidae gall midges (Diptera). A conspicuous exception is the genus Amitus, which are parasitoids of whiteflies (Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) (Gauld and Bolton 1988 summarise the biology of Platygastroidea). As a consquence of their host ranges, platygastroids are generally small and rather neglected. Noyes et al. (1999) offer a fairly recent guide to the scattered identification literature. A number of species are used in biological control programmes (Orr 1988).

It has been recognised for some time that the traditional Scelionidae are paraphyletic with respect to the Platygastridae s.s. (e.g. Austin and Field 1997, Austin et al. 2005). A molecular phylogenetic study confirmed the paraphyly of ‘Scelionidae’ (Murphy et al. 2007) but the authors did not recommend taxonomic changes as the taxon sampling was limited. Despite this, Sharkey (2007) regarded the Platygastroidea as comprising one family, Platygastridae. This treatment has been followed, with caveats regarding the uncertainty in subfamily classification, in recent taxonomic works (e.g. Johnson et al. 2009, Talamas et al. 2009). In line with some other recent works (e.g. Ortega-Blanco et al. 2014, Talamas et al. 2015) we recognise Scelionidae as a separate family again, but recognising that some basal platygastroid groups previously classified as Scelionidae should be recognised at the family level, i.e. Nixoniidae and Sparasionidae, as Engel (2015) has also done. Such a classification system is much more informative than a single family for this biologically diverse superfamily, emphasising distinct biological differences between Platygastridae and the other families; maintains recognisable groups; acknowledges that the traditional Scelionidae is paraphyletic with respect to Playgastridae; and formally treating Sparasionidae - and the extralimital Nixoniidae - as separate families is congruent with the phylogenetic hypotheses presented so far.

Materials and methods

Buhl and Notton (2009) revised the British and Irish checklist of Platygastridae and this forms the basis for the nomenclature and distribution data recorded here. Additional records from Buhl and O'Connor (2010a), Buhl and O'Connor (2010b), Buhl and O'Connor (2011b), Buhl and O'Connor (2012a), Buhl and O'Connor (2012b) and a few from P. Buhl. Dates of description and original combinations follow Vlug (1995). Nomenclature for Scelionidae mostly follows Johnson (1992)and the online Platygastroidea of the World, maintained by N.F. Johnson. Other useful works on these subfamilies include O'Connor et al. (2004), Notton (2006), O'Connor and Notton (2013). Synonymy post-Johnson (1992) and Vlug (1995) is referenced; we have tried to account for every name on the 1978 checklist (Fergusson 1978) and all additions to the fauna since then have been referenced. A more complete methodology can be found in Broad (2014). The following conventions and abbreviations are used here:

[species] taxon deleted from the British and Irish list

BMNH Natural History Museum, London

? status (including uncertain synonymy) or identification in the British Isles uncertain

misident. has been misidentified as this name

nom. dub. nomen dubium, a name of unknown or doubtful application

nom. ob. nomen oblitum, ‘forgotten name’, does not have priority over a younger name

nom. nov. nomen novum, a new replacement name

nom. nud. nomen nudum, an unavailable name

preocc. name preoccupied (junior homonym)

stat. rev. status revocatus, revived status (e.g., raised from synonymy)

unavailable not meeting the requirements of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature

var. variety, only available as a valid name under the provisions of article 45.6 of the ICZN

Alternative versions of the checklist, as a formatted Word document and Excel spreadsheet, are provided here in the supplementary materials: Suppl. materials 1, 2.

Photographs were taken using a Canon EOS 450D digital camera attached to a Leica MZ12 stereomicroscope and partially focused images were combined using Helicon Focus v.4.80 software.
