- Title
Romanian Eupelmidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea): new cytogenetic, faunistic and host records.
- Authors
Fusu, Lucian
- Abstract
Faunistic, cytogenetic and host data are presented for 15 species of Eupelmidae from east and south east Romania (Moldova and Dobroudja). The presence of Calosota viridis and C. obscura (Calosotinae) is confirmed and 11 species of Eupelmidae are newly recorded for Romania, including 3 species of Calosotinae (Calosota aestivalis, C. dusmeti and Eusandalum walkeri) and 8 species of Eupelminae (Anastatus catalonicus, A. lichtensteini, A. ruficaudus, Arachnophaga picardi, Eupelmus aloysii, Eup. fulvipes, Eup. vindex and Eup. maculatus). The male of Eup. aloysii is newly described and new host records are given for 4 species. A lectotype is designated for Anastatus picardi Bernard, 1936 and the status of the alleged type material of Anastatus ameleophagus Bernard, 1935 present in the collections of the Natural History Museum (London) is discussed. The karyotype n = 6 reported for Calosota obscura is the first recorded chromosome number for Calosotinae.
