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.

Notes: 

Following molecular phylogenetic analysis of Agathidinae (Sharkey et al. 2006), the genus Bassuss.l. was recognised as being a polyphyletic assemblage. Species are now being described in or reassigned to Lytopylus, Thermophilus and the non-British Camptothlipsis (Sharkey et al. 2009, Stevens et al. 2010, Stevens et al. 2011, Achterberg and Long 2010, Achterberg 2011) but very few European species have been formally transferred. The species on the British list have therefore been reassigned here on the bases of recent generic keys (e.g. Sharkey et al. 2009) in anticipation of future taxonomy. Whereas Bassuss. s. is now restricted to a small group of species (only one in Britain), Therophilus remains large and probably para- or polyphyletic. Distribution and synonymic data for Bassus, Lytopylus and Therophilus from Nixon (1986) and Simbolotti and Achterberg (1992).

Some distribution data from Stelfox and Graham (1951a). Some species treated as belonging to Dinotrema by other authors have been included in Aspilota in Taxapad (Yu et al. 2012) and there is clearly much work to be done in allocating species to the current generic concepts (see Wharton 1985). The late T. Munk was preparing a revision of the European species of Aspilotas. l. (see note under Dinotrema).

Genus Dinotrema Förster, 1863

Material    Download as CSV 
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.

Tribe Dacnusini Förster, 1863

Material    Download as CSV 
Notes: 

The classification of the Dacnusini was revised by Griffiths (Griffiths 1964, Griffiths 1967a, Griffiths 1967b, Griffiths 1967c, Griffiths 1968a, Griffiths 1968b) in a pioneering treatment that was one of the first applications of explicit phylogenetic methods in taxonomy. It was also unusual in being based on extensive reared material. Griffiths’ classification is followed here although one of the consequences of his strict adherence to phylogenetic principles is that Chorebus and Dacnusa are very large genera. Also, as Griffiths realised, the definition of Exotela is unsatisfactory as it lacks clear apomorphic characters. This group of insects had previously been revised by Nixon (Nixon 1943, Nixon 1944, Nixon 1945, Nixon 1946, Nixon 1948, Nixon 1949, Nixon 1954), who recognised a greater number of genera, and some authors (Tobias 1986, Tobias 1998, Perepechayenko 2000, Fischer et al. 2004) have resurrected Nixon’s genera or used them as subgenera. This seems a retrograde step given Griffiths’ clear statements of phylogenetic hypotheses and is not used here. In both Chorebus and Dacnusa, Griffiths defined a series of species groups that with further research should form the basis of better classifications of these genera. Griffiths (1964) gives a key to genera and Wharton (1997) is also very helpful. The Coelinius genus group (Coelinius, Trachionus, Epimicta, Aristelix, Laotris, Sarops and Synelix) is generally agreed to be monophyletic and was not revised at species level by Nixon or Griffiths. Distribution data from Griffiths’ and Nixon’s revisions (loc. cit.) and NMS.

Notes: 

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.
