Some Nearctic Species of the Chalcid Genus Enaysma Delucchi (Eulophidae: Entedontinae)

Abstract

In 1954 Delucchi erected the genera Enaysma and Epilampsis in an attempt to extend and clarify the generic concepts in the Derostenus Westwood-Chrysocharis Förster complex of the subfamily Entedontinae. As the type of Enaysma he designated Enaysma zwolferi Delucchi. Later in rhe same year (Delucchi 1954a) he revised the entire complex as he understood it in the Palaearctic region giving keys to the genera and species he included. Subsequently (Delucchi 1957) he supplemented his original description of the genus Enaysma and expanded his concept of it, adding Enaysma aenea Delucchi, Enaysma parva Delucchi, 1956, and two new species with a revised key to all the Palaearctic species then included by him in the genus. Recently Graham (1959) published a key to the British species in which he erected the new subgenus Pentenaysma, selecting as its type Eulophus latreillii Curtis.
