REVIEW OF SCHIZOPHRAGMA OGLOBLIN AND THE NON-AUSTRALIAN SPECIES OF STETHYNIUM ENOCK (HYMENOPTERA: MYMARIDAE)

Abstract

AbstractStethynium Enock, a mainly old world genus most of whose members occur in Australia, is redescribed based on study of the non-Australian species. The subgenus Neostethynium Ogloblin is removed from Stethynium and given generic status. The names S. faunum Girault and S. empoascae Subba Rao are synonymized under S. triclavatum Enock. A lectotype is designated for S. triclavatum. Stethynium angustipennesp. n. is described.Schizophragma Ogloblin, formerly a subgenus of Patasson, is redescribed as a genus. Anaphes bicolor Dozier and Stethynium annulatum Doutt are transferred to Schizophragma. The names S. annulatum and S. nana Ogloblin are synonymized, respectively, under S. bicolor and S. parvula Ogloblin. Lectotypes are designated for S. bicolor (Dozier) and S. latipennis (Crawford). A provisional key to the species of Schizophragma is presented.
