Abstract

Decevania Huben currently comprises 13 species, the females of which are known for only four. Herein an additional Neotropical Decevania is newly described: Decevania feitosai Kawada, sp. n. from Colombia. The description and identification key were made using the DELTA program. A pictorial key to females of Decevania is provided. Anatomical terminology follows the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology project with an atlas for terminologies used for recognition of Decevania species. The distribution maps can be accessed in Google Maps or through of Dryad (repository of data).

Introduction

Decevania Huben1 is a small genus of Neotropical Evaniidae with 13 species recognized so far. Kawada and Azevedo (2007) recently revised the genus, providing redescriptions of Decevania parva2 (Enderlein, 1901) and Decevania striatigena3 (Kieffer, 1910), descriptions of 11 new species, an identification key, illustrations of all species, and increased the geographical distribution known for the genus, which ranges from Mexico to Bolivia, east to Brazil.

Species in this genus are characterized by having 8 flagellomeres, relatively reduced eyes (usually females), wings frequently large and floppy with reduced venation (C, Sc, M+CU, 1CUa, 1CUb and 2CU only present), fore wing with only one cell enclosed by tubular veins (costal), and hind tarsomeres 1-3 elongated posteriorly into spines. According to Kawada and Azevedo (2007), Decevania resembles Hyptia Illiger4 by having one closed cell in the fore wing always with M+CU, 1CU, and 2CU veins combined (a Caribbean group of Hyptia has a close configuration). However, Decevania has the stigmal vein wide (narrow in Hyptia), 1R1 vein shorter (longer in Hyptia) and body with sparse punctures (usually dense punctures in Hyptia).

Decevania species are sexually dimorphic (antenna, eye, color, facial sculpture, and others) and this complicates association of the sexes and description of new taxa. The head in females is distinctly sculptured and eyes flattened. The antenna is enlarged progressively from the fourth flagellomere apically, antennal pubescence is considerably reduced in flagellomeres IV–X (flattened area) and the posterior region of the metasoma is expanded dorso-ventrally with the ovipositor usually concealed. Males generally have a larger bulging eye, all flagellomeres are equal in diameter, antennal pubescence is evenly distributed with long setae interspersed and the posterior region of the metasoma is constricted dorsoventrally with genitalia protracted, depending on preservation.

The goal of this paper is to disseminate the pictorial key for females of Decevania and describe a new species of this genus from Colombia.

Material and methods

Material. The material examined is presented in a list of museums with respective acronyms and countries: CNCI (Canadian National Collection of Insects5) and IAVH (Instituto de Investigación de Recursos Biológicos Alexander von Humboldt, Colombia6). The holotypes are unambiguously identifiable by mean of a red holotype label. The type-material of newly described species are deposited in the IAVH and MZSP (Museu de Zoologia da Universidade de São Paulo, Brazil7).

Images. The best characters for distinguishing species were photographed under a stereomicroscope Leica M205C, magnifying glass attached to video camera Leica DFC 295. The equipment responsible for storing and processing data was a desktop computer with Windows 7 Professional and high-capacity processor Intel (R) Xeon (R) CPU and the software used to combine the images was Leica LAS (Leica Application Suite V3.6.0) Microsystems by Leica8 (Switzerland) Limited. Photos were edited in PhotoShop® using the adjustments (e.g., levels, shadows/highlights), tools (e.g., healing brush, clone stamp) and filters (e.g., unsharp mask).

Distribution map. Google maps9 provides a powerful tool for fast, collaborative research, with some advantages listed below: (1) steady inclusion of data even after publication; (2) use of the same map in other publications, enabling a comparison with previous work; (3) fast inclusion of data through a network of collaboration; (4) accuracy and standardization of data among researchers; (5) the use of the same map, resulting from a publication, elsewhere in the network (blog’s, discussion list, meetings). The locality data reported for all analyzed specimens are a literal transcription of the label. Details on the data associated with these specimens may be accessed at the following link, using Google url shortener10: Decevania Distribution11 in © 2011 Google - Map data © Google or downloaded through the Dryad12, an international repository of data underlying peer-reviewed articles.

Taxonomic procedures. The taxonomic treatment method follows Winston (1999). The description and identification key were made using the DELTA program. Morphological characters for species of Decevania were imported to the DELTA editor (Description Language for Taxonomy13) (Dallwitz 1980, Dallwitz et al. 1999). The species description was generated by DELTA <tonart> with output in the format of “character: character state(s)”; Identification key by DELTA <key> (Dallwitz 1980, Dallwitz et al. 1993). The dichotomous, pictoral identification key follows the procedures of Winston (1999). For the purpose of this description, the new species are diagnosable by putative autapomorphies or by a unique combination of fixed character states.

General terminology. Anatomical terminology follows the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology project (HAO14) using the proofing tool available through the Hymenoptera Glossary 15 (Yoder et al. 2010). Some terms are also included from Deans and Huben (2003) and Kawada and Azevedo (2007). The list of terminology is illustrated and labeled to facilitate their use (see table 1).
