Abstract
In this study, new distributional records are given for 98 species and subspecies of Darwin wasps of the subfamily Ichneumoninae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) from Maritime Southeast Asia, namely from Indonesia and Malaysia: Sabah. Four genera, 31 species and three subspecies are described as new.
The new genera are: Atanyjoppoides n. gen., Moluccarches n. gen., Orientodromus n. gen. and Platylaboides n. gen. The new species are: Achaius sabahensis n. sp., Allonotus rufiventris n. sp., Amblyjoppa nigra n. sp., Amblyjoppa striata n. sp., Atanyjoppoides mandibulator n. sp., Benyllus mesonotator n. sp., Benyllus rufostriatus n. sp., Benyllus sundaensis n. sp., Celebarches albifrons n. sp., Celebarches nigritor n. sp., Celebarches sabahensis n. sp., Celebarches tricolor n. sp., Coelichneumon (Exephanides) nigropropodealis n. sp., Compsophorus (Xenojoppa) quadrimaculatus n. sp., Deniya scutellaris n. sp., Eccoptosage nigrifemur n. sp., Eccoptosage sabahensis n. sp., Heresiarches simile n. sp., Lareiga nigrita n. sp., Lissosculpta albifrons n. sp., Lissosculpta malucuensis n. sp., Lissosculpta seramensis n. sp., Losgna baliensis n. sp., Losgna rufobasalis n. sp., Moluccarches albimaculatus n. sp., Orientodromus thyridialis n. sp., Platylaboides javanicus n. sp., Pseudoplatylabus rufoniger n. sp., Setanta albimaculata n. sp., Stirexephanes albicoxis n. sp., and Stirexephanes rufopetiolaris n. sp. The new subspecies are: Allonotus rufus sumatrensis n. ssp., Amblyjoppa rufobalteata sumatera n. ssp., and Anisobas vietnamensis sabahensis n. ssp.
Vulgichneumon stegemanni (Heinrich, 1934) is transferred to the genus Virgichneumon Heinrich, 1977, n. stat.. For the following species the hitherto unknown ♂♂ are described: Barichneumonites properans (Tosquinet, 1903), Celebarches unicus Heinrich, 1934, Celebichneumon egregius Heinrich, 1934, Coelichneumon (Coelichneumon) lineiscutis Heinrich, 1966, Eccoptosage quadridentata (Cameron, 1905), Menkokia major (Heinrich, 1934), Nesostenodontus formosanus Cushman, 1937, Stenichneumonopsis albifasciatus Heinrich, 1934, Stirexephanes impictus Heinrich, 1934, Ulesta plagiata Heinrich, 1934, and Virgichneumon stegemanni (Heinrich, 1934).
All new species are described in detail and illustrated. For the known species of Celebarches Heinrich, a determination key is provided.
