Abstract

A new, broader concept of the genus Aradophagus Ashmead is presented to include Abuko Masner and Huggert and Ladora Masner and Huggert (new synonyms). The extent of the tribe Aradophagini is discussed and some character states re-evaluated. Ladora maura Masner and Huggert is synonymized under Apegus squamosus Dodd (new synonym). The distribution of some species of Aradophagus is discussed. The first fossil member of the genus is reported from late Tertiary amber of Hispaniola (Dominican Republic). Aradophagus diazisp.n ov. is described from Venezuela as the first member of the genus and the tribe in South America. A key to described world species of Aradophagus is presented.

Résumé

Le genre Aradophagus Ashmead est redéfini selon une conception plus large et inclut maintenant les genres Abuko Masner et Huggert et Ladora Masner et Huggert (nouvelles synonymies). La définition de la tribu des Aradophagini fait l’objet d’une discussion et certains caractères sont réévalués. Ladora maura Masner et Huggert devient synonyme d’Apegus squamosus Dodd (nouvelle synonymie). La répartition de certaines espèces d’Aradophagus est examinée. Le premier fossile du genre à être mentionné a été trouvé dans de l’ambre d’Hispaniola (République dominicaine) de la fin du Tertiaire. Aradophagus diazisp.no v. du Vénézuéla, dont on trouvera ici la description, est la première espèce de ce genre et de cette tribu à être découverte en Amérique du Sud. Une clé d’identification permettra de séparer toutes les espèces d’Aradophagus du monde.
