| Abstract: | Japanese species of the genus Netelia the subgenus Netelia are revised by mainly
re-examining the specimens, which were used by previous authors and preserved in
Systematic Entomology, Hokkaido University, to confirm the species records from
Japan. New species found among those specimens are described and unrecorded species
from Japan found not only in the collection of Hokkaido University but also in the major
ichneumonid collections in Japan are recorded. Twenty-five species are recognized.
Seven new species, N. (N.) amamiensis, N. (N.) gotoi, N. (N.) kusigematii, N. (N.)
kyushuensis, N. (N.) nigritarsalis, N. (N.) nomurai and N. (N.) oharai, are described. Ten
species, N. (N.) atlantor Aubert, 1971, N. (N.) atra Tolkanitz, 1999, N. (N.) denticulator
Aubert, 1968, N. (N.) facialis Kaur & Jonathan, 1979, N. (N.) fulvator Delrio, 1971, N.
(N.) infractor Delrio, 1971, N. (N.) melanura (Thomson, 1888), N. (N.) rapida Tolkanitz,
1981, N. (N.) silantjewi (Kokujev, 1899) and N. (N.) vegeta Tolkanits, 1981 are recorded
from Japan for the first time and redescribed based on Japanese specimens. Male
genitalia of N. (N.) formosana (Matsumura, 1912), N. (N.) nigrinota (Uchida, 1928),
N. (N.) takaozana (Uchida, 1928) and N. (N.) unicolor (Smith, 1874) are figured and
described for the first time. One new synonymy of species proposed is Paniscus testaceus
var. nigronotatus Uchida, 1928 under N. (N.) melanura. Four species, N. (N.) ocellaris
(Thomson, 1888), N. (N.) opacula (Thomson, 1888), N. (N.) testacea (Gravenhorst,
1829) and N. (N.) vinulae (Scopoli, 1763) are redescribed based on Japanese specimens.
N. (N.) dilatata (Thomson, 1888), N. (N.) fuscicornis (Holmgren, 1860), N. (N.) grumi
(Kokujev, 1906) and N. (N.) nigriventris (Brullé, 1846) are excluded from Japanese
fauna. A key to 25 Japanese species is given. |
