Abstract

The subfamily Inostemmatinae is considered a symplesiomorphic assemblage and the genera currently classified here are reassigned either to the subfamily Platygastrinae or the Sceliotrachelinae. Forty-one genera are treated, of which 15 are classified in the Platygastrinae, viz. Acerotella Masner, Aceroteta Kozlov and Masner, Allostemma gen.nov., Almargella gen.nov., Annettella gen.nov., Inostemma Haliday, Iphitrachelus Walker, Isostasius Foerster, Magellanium gen.nov., Metaclisis Foerster, Orseta gen.nov., Proplatygaster Kieffer, Rao gen.nov., Sacespalus Kieffer, and Zelostemma gen.nov. Twenty-six genera are classified in the subfamily Sceliotrachelinae, viz. Afrisolia gen.nov., Aleyroctonus gen.nov., Alfredella gen.nov., Allotropa Foerster, Amitus Haldeman, Aphanomerella Dodd, Aphanomerus Perkins, Austromerus gen.nov., Calomerella gen.nov., Errolium gen.nov., Fidiobia Ashmead, Helava gen.nov., Isolia Foerster, Nanomerus gen.nov., Neobia gen.nov., Oligomerella gen.nov., Parabaeus Kieffer, Platygastoides Dodd, Platystasius Nixon, Plutomerus gen.nov., Pseudaphanomerus Szelényi, Pulchrisolia Szabo, Sceliotrachelus Brues, Tetrabaeus Kieffer, Zelamerus gen.nov., and Zelandonota gen.nov. The following extant taxa are described: Afrisolia obesa gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ (South Africa), Aleyroctonus pilatus gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (Java), Alfredella tasmanica gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (Australia),Allostemma fuscum gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (Chile), Almargella cristata gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (Chile), Annettella gracilis gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (New Zealand), Austromerus grandis gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (Australia), Calomerella scutellata gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ (USA, Canada), Errolium piceum gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ (New Zealand), Helava alticola gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (Colombia, Venezuela, Peru), Magellanium furviceps gen.nov., sp.nov. ♂ (Chile), Nanomerus spinulus gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ (Chile), Neobia badia gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ (Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Trinidad [W.I.]), Oligomerella donnae gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ (Australia), Orseta ornate gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (Canada), Plutomerus gen.nov. for Platygastoides indicus Mukerjee ♀ (India, Nepal), Rao pselaphus gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (Australia), Zelamerus amicorum gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (New Zealand), Zelandonota kiwi gen.nov., sp.nov. ♀ ♂ (New Zealand), and Zelostemma gen.nov. for Eurytoma oleariae Maskell ♀ ♂ (New Zealand). Fahringeria Kieffer is considered junior synonym of Fidiobia Ashmead; Nasdia Nixon and Platytropa Kozlov are considered junior synonyms of Allotropa Foerster. The above 41 genera are keyed, with separate keys to world genera and genera of America north of Mexico; with generic diagnoses, taxonomic remarks, distribution, biology, bibliography, and list of species described since Kieffer (1926). Higher classification and relationships of the above genera are discussed. Eighty-one plates with 258 figures (line drawings and micrographs) are included.

Résumé

La sous-famille des Inostemmatinés est considérée comme un assemblage symplesiomorphique et les genres actuellement classés dans cette sous-famille sont réaffectés, soit à sous-famille des Platygastrinés ou des Sceliotrachelinés. L’ouvrage examine 41 genres dont 15 sont classés dans les Platygastrinés, soit Acerotella Masner, Aceroteta Kozlov et Masner, Allostemma nouveau genre, Almargella nouveau genre, Annettella nouveau genre, Inostemma Haliday, Iphitrachelus Walker, Isostasius Foerster, Magellanium nouveau genre, Metaclisis Foerster, Orseta nouveau genre, Proplatygaster Kieffer, Rao nouveau genre, Sacespalus Kieffer et Zelostemma nouveau genre. Vingtsix genres sont classés dans la sous-famille de Sceliotrachelinés, soit Afrisolia nouveau genre, Aleyroctonus nouveau genre, Alfredella nouveau genre, Allotropa Foerster, Amitus Haldeman, Aphanomerella Dodd, Aphanomerus Perkins, Austromerus nouveau genre, Calomerella nouveau genre, Errolium nouveau genre, Fidiobia Ashmead, Helava nouveau genre, Isolia Foerster, Nanomerus nouveau genre, Neobia nouveau genre, Oligomerella nouveau genre, Parabaeus Kieffer, Platygastoides Dodd, Platystasius Nixon, Plutomerus nouveau genre, Pseudaphanomerus Szelényi, Pulchrisolia Szabo, Sceliotrachelus Brues, Tetrabaeus Kieffer, Zelamerus nouveau genre et Zelandonota nouveau genre. L’ouvrage décrit les taxons encore existants suivants : Afrisolia obesa nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ (Afrique du Sud), Aleyroctonus pilatus nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Java), Alfredella tasmanica nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Australie), Allostemma fuscum nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Chili), Almargella cristata nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Chili), Annettella gracilis nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Nouvelle-Zélande), Austromerus grandis nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Australie), Calomerella scutellata nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce, ♀ (États-Unis, Canada), Errolium piceum nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ (Nouvelle-Zélande), Helava alticola nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Colombie, Venezuela, Pérou), Magellanium furviceps nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ (Chili), Nanomerus spinulus nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ (Chili), Neobia badia nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ (Venezuela, Colombie, Équateur, Trinité/Antilles), Oligomerella donnae nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ (Australie), Orseta ornata nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Canada), Plutomerus nouveau genre pour Platygastoides indicus Mukerjee ♀ (Inde, Népal), Rao pselaphus nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Australie), Zelamerus amicorum nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Nouvelle-Zélande), Zelandonota kiwi nouveau genre, nouvelle espèce ♀ ♂ (Nouvelle-Zélande) et Zelostemma nouveau genre pour Eurytoma oleariae Maskell ♀ ♂ (Nouvelle-Zélande). Fahringeria est considéré comme un synonyme secondaire de Fidiobia Ashmead; Nasdia Nixon et Platytropa Kozlov sont considérés comme des synonymes secondaires de Allotropa Foerster. L’ouvrage présente une clef d’identification des 41 genres susmentionnés et des clefs séparées pour les genres mondiaux et les genres des régions d’Amérique situées au nord du Mexique, des diagnostics génériques, des remarques taxonomiques, des distributions, des cycles biologiques, une bibliographie et une liste des espèces décrites depuis Kieffer (1926). L’ouvrage examine la classification supérieure et les rapports des genres susmentionnés. Il comprend 81 planches et 258 illustrations (croquis et micrographies).
