Abstract

The genus Calliscelio Ashmead is presumed to be a diverse group of parasitoids of the eggs of crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae). A least one species has been found to be an important factor in depressing cricket pest populations. The New World species of Calliscelio are revised. Forty-two species are recognized, 3 are redescribed: C. bisulcatus (Kieffer), C. laticinctus Ashmead, C. rubriclavus (Ashmead), comb. n.; and 38 are described as new: C. absconditum Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. absum Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. alcoa Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. amadoi Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. armila Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. bidens Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. brachys Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. brevinotaulus Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. brevitas Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. carinigena Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. crater Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. crena Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. eboris Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. extenuatus Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. flavicauda Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. foveolatus Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. gatineau Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. glaber Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. granulatus Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. latifrons Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. levis Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. longius Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. magnificus Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. migma Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. minutia Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. paraglaber Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. pararemigio Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. prolixus Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. punctatifrons Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. remigio Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. ruga Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. rugicoxa Chen & Masner, sp. n., C. sfina Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. storea Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. suni Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. telum Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. torqueo Chen & Johnson, sp. n., C. virga Chen & Johnson, sp. n.

Introduction

The genus Calliscelio Ashmead was first erected for a single species, C. laticinctus Ashmead, from the Lesser Antilles (Ashmead 1893). For nearly 80 years it was considered to be a valid genus although it remained narrowly defined. Kieffer (1926), for example, included only two species in his monograph on world Scelionidae (= PlatygastridaesensuSharkey 2007). Masner (1972) treated Calliscelio as a junior synonym of Calotelea Westwood. Shortly thereafter, though, Masner (1976) rejected this hypothesis, treated Calliscelio as valid, and also significantly expanded the extent of the genus. Kieffer had described seven other genera over the years, all of which Masner (1976) treated as junior synonyms of Calliscelio (see generic synonymy below). Recently, in a survey of external morphology across the superfamily Platygastroidea, Talamas et al. (2016) found that the prioniform sensillum on the mandible is synapomorphy for the genus Calliscelio and treated Crama Galloway, Lispoteleia Galloway, Xentor Masner and Johnson, and Yunkara Galloway as junior synonyms of Calliscelio.

The current concept of Calliscelio is a relatively large genus in the subfamily Scelioninae, comprising 77 known species (including 3 fossil species; Johnson 2016). It is a worldwide genus, with species found in all six major biogeographic regions. Interestingly, at least two species, i.e., C. rubriclavus (Ashmead) and C. elegans (Perkins), have extraordinarily broad geographic distributions possibly due to increased globalization of human commerce (Masner et al. 2009). This phenomenon leads to the question: from which part of the world did these species originate? Also, although Calliscelio was originally erected based on species in the New World, only 6 species were reported from this region to date, suggesting that more species remain to be discovered. Thus, a comprehensive revision of species of Calliscelio based on extensive sampling from the New World is needed to provide a more accurate understanding of the diversity and interrelationships among species in the genus.

Even though Calliscelio is a diverse, common, and widespread genus, the available biological data are extremely scanty. The only host record is for C. teleogrylli Hill, which was reported to attack the eggs of Teleogryllus commodus (Walker) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), a widespread pest in pastures in the Pacific region (Hill 1983). By comparison with C. teleogrylli, Masner et al. (2009) suggested that C. elegans may attack the eggs of one or more species of Gryllidae associated with sugar cane.

The goal of this work is to reevaluate the known species of Calliscelio from the New World, expand the biogeographic data associated with these species, and to describe new species. The contributions of the authors are as follows. H-y Chen and N.F. Johnson: character definition, generic concept development, species concept development, imaging, key development, manuscript preparation; L. Masner: character definition, generic concept development, species concept development. The authors of the new species are indicated in the heading of each description.

Morphological terms used in this work are as in the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology (Yoder et al. 2010) (Appendix 1). Identifiers (URIs) in the format HAO_XXXXXXX represent concepts in the HAO and are provided to enable readers to confirm their understanding of the concepts being referenced. To find out more about a given concept, including additional images, notes, references and other metadata, use the identifier as a search term at http://glossary.hymao.org or use the identifier as a web-link.

In the Material Examined section, the specimens studied are recorded in an abbreviated format, using unique identifiers (numbers prefixed with “OSUC”, “CASENT”, “UCFC”, “CMNH”, “MHNG”) for the individual specimens. The label data for all specimens have been georeferenced and recorded in the Hymenoptera On-Line database, and details on the data associated with these specimens can be accessed at the following link, hol.osu.edu, and entering the identifier in the form (note the space between the acronym and the number). The electronic version of the paper contains hyperlinks to external resources. Insofar as possible, the external information conforms to standards developed and maintained through the organization Biodiversity Information Standards (Taxonomic Database Working Group). All new species have been prospectively registered with ZooBank (Polaszek et al. 2005, http://www.zoobank.org), and other taxonomic names, where appropriate, have been retrospectively registered.

Data associated with the genus Calliscelio can be accessed at hol.osu.edu/index.html?id=461. The generic and species descriptions were generated by an xBio:D platform application, vSysLab (vsyslab.osu.edu), designed to facilitate the production of a taxon by character data matrices, and to integrate those data with the existing taxonomic, bibliographic and specimen-level database. Data may be exported in both text format and as input files for other applications. The text output for descriptions is in the format of “Character: Character state (s)”. Polymorphic characters are indicated by semicolon-separated character states.

Images and measurements were made using Combine ZP and AutoMontage extended-focus software, using JVC KY-F75U digital camera, Leica Z16 APOA microscope, and 1X objective lens. Images were post-processed with Abobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. A standard set of images is provided for each species: dorsal habitus, lateral habitus, dorsal and lateral views of the head and mesosoma, and anterior view of head. The individual images are archived in Specimage (specimage.osu.edu), the image database at The Ohio State University.

Diagnosis

Calliscelio may be distinguished from other genera of the subfamily by the combination of the following characters: eyes glabrous in many species but in some with short hairs or even densely hairy; skaphion never developed; metanotum medially produced into a transverse plate or lamella, neither spinose nor toothed laterally; propodeum usually unarmed, often excavate to contain T1 horn, only in a few species with posterolateral corner acute; T6 in females often elongate, sword-like, depressed dorsoventrally. Calliscelio is most similar to Holoteleia Kieffer and Probaryconus Kieffer in the tribe Calliscelionini and Calotelea in Psilanteridini in body shape and some external characters. The following key is used to separate these genera with the fewest characters possible.

Key to separate Calliscelio, Calotelea, Holoteleia and Probaryconus

1 Skaphion indicated posteriorly by more or less distinct rim Calotelea Westwood
– Skaphion never developed, no rim posteriorly 2
2 Genal striae present; epomial carina present Probaryconus Kieffer
– Genal striae absent; epomial carina absent 3
3 Metanotum medially notably wider than at sides, expanded into lamella Calliscelio Ashmead
– Metanotum narrow, strip-like, medially not produced into lamella Holoteleia Kieffer

Diagnosis

This species is most similar to C. latifrons in the female T1 horn, size and habitus but can be easily distinguished by its smooth upper frons and T3.

Etymology

The specific epithet is to be treated as a noun in apposition, derived from the Latin for “bracelet” and refers to the rim on T1 horn.

Diagnosis

This species is most similar to C. rugicoxa with which it shares the characters of the hairy compound eyes and the median keels on propodeum in female. It can be distinguished by its smooth hind coxa and the absence of a T1 horn in the female.

Etymology

The specific epithet means “with two teeth,” refering to the median keels of propodeum of the species and should be treated as a noun in apposition.

Diagnosis

This species shares the character of the abbreviated notaulus with C. absum and C. brevinotaulus. It can be separated from C. absum by having A4 as long as A3 in the female and the length of the A5 tyloid in the male is approximately 0.3× length of A5; from C. brevinotaulus it may be distinguished by the absence of the T1 horn in the female.

Etymology

The epithet is derived the Greek word for short, in reference to the abbreviated notaulus, and is intended to be treated as a noun in apposition.

Diagnosis

This species is most similar to C. crater and C. sfina. It can be separated from C. crater by the presence of a carina along the outer orbit on the postgena rather than large foveae, and from C. sfina by the presence of the hyperoccipital carina.

Etymology

The epithet is a compound noun in reference to the genal carina along the outer orbit. It is intended to be used as a noun in apposition.

Diagnosis

This species is similar to C. carinigena and C. sfina in color, size and habitus, but it can be easily recognized by the large foveae on the postgena (postgena of C. sfina granulate, whereas C. carinigena with a carina along outer orbit).

Etymology

The specific epithet refers to the foveae on the postgena and should be treated as a noun in apposition.

Diagnosis

This species is most similar to C. brevitas in color, size and habitus but can be distinguished by its strongly crenulate occipital carina and relatively smooth posterior vertex (C. brevitas with occipital carina weakly crenulate, posterior vertex densely punctate).

Etymology

The epithet is used as a noun in apposition derived from the Latin word for notch, in reference to the strongly crenulate occipital carina medially.

Diagnosis

This species is most similar to C. brachys and C. suni. It can be separated from C. brachys by the percurrent notaulus, and from C. suni by the spectral Rs+M and the presence of a central keel on the frons.

Etymology

The epithet is used as a noun in apposition derived from the Latin word for ivory, in reference to the white A11–A12 of the female antennae.

Diagnosis

The females of this species are easily distinguished from other Calliscelio species by the combination of large and smooth T1 horn, elongate T6 and large body size. The males are most similar to C. flavocauda, C. laticinctus and C. longius but can be separated by the smooth metascutellum.

Etymology

The specific epithet is to be treated as a noun in apposition, derived from the Latin for “splendid” and refers to our impression of this species.

Diagnosis

This species is most similar to C. amadoi in color and size but it can be easily distinguished by having A5 and A6 in female distinctly longer than wide, whereas in C. amadoi A5 is slightly longer than wide, A6 quadrate.

Etymology

The epithet is used as a noun in apposition derived from the Greek word for mixture, in reference to the variations in female antennae color and T1 horn sculpture.

Comments

This species is well supported by many characters, although there are variations in female antennae color and T1 horn sculpture. The common color of the female antennal club is dark brown to black, while there are a few exceptions that A7, A8 brown, A9–A12 white to pale yellow. T1 horn usually is smooth, while a few species rugulose, or transversely striate, or smooth to somewhat transversely striate. These variations are gradual among specimens. Therefore we consider them as intraspecific rather than interspecific.

Diagnosis

This species is most similar to C. suni in color, size and habitus, and it is also similar to small specimens of C. sfina. It can be separated by the presence of an infuscate band in the middle of the fore wing.

Etymology

The epithet is used as a noun in apposition derived from the Latin word for smallness, in reference to the body size.

Diagnosis

This species is most similar to C. glaber and C. torqueo in its smooth head and metascutellum. It may be separated from those two species by the complete occipital carina.

Etymology

The name refers to the high degree of similarity with C. glaber and is intended to be used as a noun in apposition.

Diagnosis

This species is most similar to C. remigio but can be distinguished by its subglobose head and densely and concentrically striate T1 horn on anterior portion in female. In males, it can be separated from C. remigio by the subglobose head and the largely smooth S3.

Etymology

The specific epithet is a reference to the high degree of similarity with C. remigio and is intended to be used as a noun in apposition.

Diagnosis

This species is most similar to C. longius in elongate antenna, color and habitus. It can be distinguished by the absence of T1 horn and the subtriangular T6 in female.

Etymology

The epithet is an adjective, Latin word for long, in reference to the elongate antenna.
