- Abstract
The fairyflies Gonatocerus aegyptiacus Soyka, G. cincticipitis Sahad, G. fuscicornis (Walker), G. minor Matthews stat. rev., and G. saipanensis (Doutt) stat. rev. (Hymenoptera Mymaridae), which constitute the G. fuscicornis species complex, are separated based on morphology and the available genetic evidence for the four of these nominal species. G. minor and G. saipanensis are reinstated as valid taxa from the previous synonymy with G. aegyptiacus. G. cincticipitis and G. saipanensis are egg parasitoids of green rice leafhoppers Nephotettix spp. (Hemiptera Cicadellidae) in Asia; G. fuscicornis and G. minor are common in Europe where these rice pests do not occur. An updated key to females of the Palaearctic species of Gonatocerus is given; G. cincticipitis is redescribed and rediagnosed. Lymaenon tarae Narayanan et Subba Rao syn. nov., Gonatocerus miurai Sahad syn. nov., and G. alami Shamim et Shafee syn. nov. are synonymized with G. saipanensis from the previous synonymy with G. aegyptiacus.
