A checklist of world species of Microgastrinae parasitoid wasps (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is provided. A total of 81 genera and 2,999 extant species are recognized as valid, including 36 nominal species that are currently considered as species inquirendae. Two genera are synonymized under Apanteles. Nine lectotypes are designated. A total of 318 new combinations, three new replacement names, three species name amendments, and seven species status revised are proposed. Additionally, three species names are treated as nomina dubia, and 52 species names are considered as unavailable names (including 14 as nomina nuda). A total of three extinct genera and 12 extinct species are also listed. Unlike in many previous treatments of the subfamily, tribal concepts are judged to be inadequate, so genera are listed alphabetically. Brief diagnoses of all Microgastrinae genera, as understood in this paper, are presented. Illustrations of all extant genera (at least one species per genus, usually more) are included to showcase morphological diversity. Primary types of Microgastrinae are deposited in 108 institutions worldwide, although 76% are concentrated in 17 collections. Localities of primary types, in 138 countries, are reported. Recorded species distributions are listed by biogeographical region and by country. Microgastrine wasps are recorded from all continents except Antarctica; specimens can be found in all major terrestrial ecosystems, from 82°N to 55°S, and from sea level up to at least 4,500 m a.s.l. The Oriental (46) and Neotropical (43) regions have the largest number of genera recorded, whereas the Palaearctic region (28) is the least diverse. Currently, the highest species richness is in the Palearctic region (827), due to more historical study there, followed by the Neotropical (768) and Oriental (752) regions, which are expected to be the most species rich. Based on ratios of Lepidoptera and Microgastrinae species from several areas, the actual world diversity of Microgastrinae is expected to be between 30,000–50,000 species; although these ratios were mostly based on data from temperate areas and thus must be treated with caution, the single tropical area included had a similar ratio to the temperate ones. Almost 45,000 specimens of Microgastrinae from 67 different genera (83% of microgastrine genera) have complete or partial DNA barcode sequences deposited in the Barcode of Life Data System; the DNA barcodes represent 3,545 putative species or Barcode Index Numbers (BINs), as estimated from the molecular data. Information on the number of sequences and BINs per genus are detailed in the checklist. Microgastrinae hosts are here considered to be restricted to Eulepidoptera, i.e., most of the Lepidoptera except for the four most basal superfamilies (Micropterigoidea, Eriocranioidea, Hepialoidea and Nepticuloidea), with all previous literature records of other insect orders and those primitive Lepidoptera lineages being considered incorrect. The following nomenclatural acts are proposed: 1) Two genera are synonymyzed under Apanteles: Cecidobracon Kieffer & Jörgensen, 1910, new synonym and Holcapanteles Cameron, 1905, new synonym; 2) Nine lectotype designations are made for Alphomelon disputabile (Ashmead, 1900), Alphomelon nigriceps (Ashmead, 1900), Cotesia salebrosa (Marshall, 1885), Diolcogaster xanthaspis (Ashmead, 1900), Dolichogenidea ononidis (Marshall, 1889), Glyptapanteles acraeae (Wilkinson, 1932), Glyptapanteles guyanensis (Cameron, 1911), Glyptapanteles militaris (Walsh, 1861), and Pseudapanteles annulicornis Ashmead, 1900; 3) Three new replacement names are a) Diolcogaster aurangabadensis Fernandez-Triana, replacing Diolcogaster indicus (Rao & Chalikwar, 1970) [nec Diolcogaster indicus (Wilkinson, 1927)], b) Dolichogenidea incystatae Fernandez-Triana, replacing Dolichogenidea lobesia Liu & Chen, 2019 [nec Dolichogenidea lobesia Fagan-Jeffries & Austin, 2019], and c) Microplitis vitobiasi Fernandez-Triana, replacing Microplitis variicolor Tobias, 1964 [nec Microplitis varicolor Viereck, 1917]; 4) Three names amended are Apanteles irenecarrilloae Fernandez-Triana, 2014, Cotesia ayerzai (Brèthes, 1920), and Cotesia riverai (Porter, 1916); 5) Seven species have their status revised: Cotesia arctica (Thomson, 1895), Cotesia okamotoi (Watanabe, 1921), Cotesia ukrainica (Tobias, 1986), Dolichogenidea appellator (Telenga, 1949), Dolichogenidea murinanae (Capek & Zwölfer, 1957), Hypomicrogaster acarnas Nixon, 1965, and Nyereria nigricoxis (Wilkinson, 1932); 6) New combinations are given for 318 species: Alloplitis congensis, Alloplitis detractus, Apanteles asphondyliae, Apanteles braziliensis, Apanteles sulciscutis, Choeras aper, Choeras apollion, Choeras daphne, Choeras fomes,

Microgastrinae, world fauna, checklist, nomenclature changes, genus diagnosis, genus illustration, distribution, Lepidoptera
With almost 3,000 described species and estimates of up to 46,000+ worldwide (
A world checklist of Microgastrinae has never been published, although
The database Taxapad, originally produced as a CD (
However, for Microgastrinae, Taxapad follows a classification based on
To complicate matters further, neither
In this paper we a) summarize general information about Microgastrinae, including a historical outline of the internal classification, estimates of specific and generic diversity, distribution at local and world levels, advances in regional taxonomic studies, and general trends in host use; b) characterize all 81 currently accepted genera of extant Microgastrinae, including brief morphological diagnostic features, colour illustrations, available DNA barcodes and general comments on known host families; c) revise, to the best of our knowledge, the generic placement of all described species of Microgastrinae; d) compile an updated checklist of the extant and fossil world species of Microgastrinae, including recorded geographical distribution and taxonomic notes; and e) provide all information as a supplementary Excel file, to facilitate future use of the data. As work on Microgastrinae advances, we hope to provide updates in future versions of this checklist.
We used the last two versions of Taxapad (
We also compiled information from some of the world’s largest collections of Microgastrinae. All primary types (representing almost 500 species) of the Canadian National Collection of Insects (Ottawa, Canada) were studied, and unpublished information on the distribution of many species and genera was extracted from that collection, probably the largest depository of world Microgastrinae, with 120,000+ pinned specimens. We examined all primary types (representing almost 500 species of Microgastrinae) in The Natural History Museum (London, United Kingdom). Most of the primary types (representing almost 400 species of Microgastrinae) in the National Museum of Natural History (Washington, United States) were either examined or studied from images (available at http://www.usnmhymtypes.com/). Types and non-type material were extensively studied in the Finnish Museum of Natural History (Helsinki, Finland), the National Museums of Scotland (Edinburgh, United Kingdom), four major Japanese collections (Hokkaido University, Sappporo; Kobe University, Kobe; Meijo University, Nagoya; and the Osaka Museum of Natural History, Osaka), the New Zealand Arthropod Collection (Auckland, New Zealand), Naturalis (Leiden, the Netherlands), the Hungarian Natural History Museum (Budapest, Hungary), and the Austrian Natural History Museum (Vienna, Austria). Extensive non-type material, representing thousands of specimens worldwide, were borrowed for study from several institutions in Canada, Costa Rica, France, Sweden, Thailand, and the United States. Several online databases such as the Barcoding of Life Data Systems (http://v4.boldsystems.org/) and Area de Conservación Guanacaste (ACG), Costa Rica (http://janzen.sas.upenn.edu/caterpillars/database.lasso) were searched as well. The final data were input into an Excel file, which is provided here as a supplementary file to facilitate access to all information for personal use and editing (Suppl. material
After the initial list was compiled, all species were assessed as comprehensively as possible, including: a) examination of primary types whenever possible (in a few cases we examined high quality illustrations of the primary types, which were sufficient to establish their generic placement unambiguously; in those cases we clearly indicate the source of the illustrations); b) study of secondary types and/or authenticated specimens (= specimens in collections identified by experts on the group; in those cases we mention the name of the expert identifying the species); and c) checking relevant literature, either the original description (including illustrations whenever available) or subsequent references where the species was treated (e.g., taxonomic revision, regional checklist, etc.). Throughout the checklist, “not examined but original description checked” or “not examined but subsequent treatment of the species checked” means that one of us checked those references. For every species, we detail how we assessed its status, as it is evident that the conclusion will be more reliable if the primary type was examined as opposed to secondary types, authenticated specimens, or the reading of a description. For species where we could neither examine specimens nor check for relevant literature we (explicitly) maintain the original generic combination.
For a few species, mostly in Apanteles and Microgaster, the available information (usually only the original description) was enough to suggest that they belonged to a different genus, but not enough to confidently place them in another genus (usually because several alternatives were possible, or none was clear). In those cases we considered the species as species inquirendae and add a question mark before the genus name it was originally described in (e.g., ? Apanteles) to indicate the questionable generic placement.
In the checklist, at the beginning of each genus we detail its author, year of publication and page (of the original description of the genus), gender of the genus name, type species, genus synonyms, and comments (if needed). As far as we know, the gender of every Microgastrinae genus has not been stated in a single publication before (e.g.,
For each species in the checklist we provide current name, original combination, synonyms, homonyms, and details of the primary type (including sex, holding institution, and country of the type locality), as well as details of the recorded geographical distribution of the species. Where necessary, additional comments are added at the end of the species’ treatment under “Notes”. We do not include full details on the combination history of the species name or further taxonomic details (other than the ones detailed above). For such details, Taxapad (
The spelling of some author’s last names was found to vary in the literature: de Saeger/De Saeger, de Santis/De Santis, Fernandez-Triana/Fernandez-Triana, Foerster/Förster, van Achterberg/Van Achterberg. For the sake of consistency, in this paper we are using the first alternative in each of the above cases. The only exception is María Teresa Oltra Moscardó (Spain), as she has recorded her last name in several publications as either Oltra (referring to species authorship and also as paper authorship for most of her papers) or Oltra-Moscardó (only applying to one paper cited in our checklist:
The availability of species names was assessed following the latest version of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN); throughout the text any reference to ICZN articles follows the online version (https://www.iczn.org/the-code/the-international-code-of-zoological-nomenclature/the-code-online/).
Details on species distribution are first presented by biogeographical regions, and then by countries within biogeographical regions, in both cases arranged in alphabetical order. For biogeographical boundaries we follow the
Occasionally, we use wider terms such as Holarctic (NEA and PAL), New World (NEA and NEO), Old World tropics (AFR, OTL and AUS), and pantropical (NEO, AFR, OTL, AUS). Some of these terms can be vague or hard to define precisely (e.g., some of the Australasian or southern Neotropical taxa are not really “tropical”, and the southern limits of the Holarctic region have a mix of temperate and subtropical taxa). However, they are used throughout the paper as a way to discuss trends in generic distribution and are not meant to be taken as strictly defined boundaries.
The list of countries follows the Standard ISO 3166 (codes for names of countries and their subdivisions: https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#search). Throughout the text, we abbreviate United States of America as USA. For the six largest countries by area (Russia, Canada, China, USA, Brazil and Australia) we also present finer species distributions by country subdivisions (provinces, republics, states, territories, etc.). For Australian states and territories, we follow http://www.bda-online.org.au/help/bda-conventions/abbreviations-states/. For states of the USA and for Canadian provinces and territories, acronyms consisting of two capital letters are used, following Canada Post (http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/PGaddress-e.asp). We follow Standard ISO 3166 for China provinces (https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:CN) and Brazil states (https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:BR). For Russia subdivisions we mostly follow Standard ISO 3166 (https://www.iso.org/obp/ui/#iso:code:3166:RU), but see next paragraph for explanation on exceptions.
In most cases the information on species distribution per subdivisions was summarized from
Some countries have political units located in different biogeographical regions (or, in some cases, islands which are separate from the continent where the country is located), we considered those units as separate entities in our checklist (and the “country” in those cases is recorded as the separate entity and not the actual country it politically belongs to). Those cases are: Chile (Juan Fernández Islands), France (French Guiana, Guadeloupe, Marquesas Islands, Réunion, Society Islands), Japan (Ryukyu Islands), the Netherlands (Netherlands Antilles), Portugal (Azores, Madeira Islands, Selvagens Islands), Spain (Canary Islands), United Kingdom (British Virgin Islands, Saint Helena), and USA (American Samoa, Hawaiian Islands, and the USA Virgin Islands).
For all species historically recorded from the former Czechoslovakia we were able to separate the records that belong to either Czech Republic or Slovakia, based on
Apart from some general comments on Microgastrinae hosts, we have not attempted to add host information for particular species; we intend to publish a critical assessment of Microgastrinae host records at a later date. We do, however, state general trends in host parasitization on a generic level. We follow the arrangement in
For collection acronyms we mostly follow the website “Insect and Spider Collections of the World” (http://hbs.bishopmuseum.org/codens/codens-r-us.html). In cases where institutions were not listed there, we propose codens based on some abbreviation of the institution name. The complete list of institutions mentioned in this paper is:

The concept of DNA barcoding as a tool for species discovery and identification was proposed approximately 15 years ago (
We provide brief morphological diagnostic features and colour illustrations for all 81 valid genera of Microgastrinae (at least one species per genus is illustrated, usually more). For morphological terms we follow several published references (
Photographs were taken with either a Keyence VHX-1000 Digital Microscope or with a Leica camera on a Leica M165 C Microscope, using lenses with a range of 10–130 ×. Multiple images were taken of a structure through the focal plane and then combined to produce a single in-focus image using the software associated with the Keyence System or, for the images taken with the Leica camera, the Zerene Stacker program (http://zerenesystems.com/cms/stacker). Images were corrected using Adobe Photoshop CS4 and Gimp 2.10.12; the plates were prepared using Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 and later saved as .tiff files. For seven figures in our paper we used other sources, all of which are acknowledged in the corresponding figure caption and in the Acknowledgements section below.
In the Results section, we discuss several topics concerning Microgastrinae before providing the checklist of world species. These include a detailed explanation of the generic concepts used here, geographical patterns, general overview of host data in the subfamily, extinct taxa, and limitations of both Taxapad and our checklist. It is very important to understand the limitations, as the user must be aware of the areas where Taxapad and/or our list lack strong support, e.g., critical review of host data, and/or missing information, such as examination of primary types. Further, there will undoubtedly be some yet to be recognised synonymy. We hope future versions of our world checklist will address some of the shortcomings of the present one. We also hope to prepare an online version that is continuously updated, probably in the style of a similar effort currently outdated (http://microgastrinae.myspecies.info/).
In the checklist below, a total of 81 genera and 2,999 extant species are recognized as valid, including 36 nominal species that are currently considered to be species inquirendae.
Two genera are synonymized under Apanteles: Cecidobracon Kieffer & Jörgensen, 1910 syn. nov., and Holcapanteles Cameron, 1905 syn. nov. Nine lectotypes are designated. A total of 318 new combinations, three new replacement names, three species name amendments, and seven species status revised are proposed. Additionally, three species names are treated as nomina dubia, and 52 species names are considered to be unavailable (including 14 as nomina nuda), listed at the end of the checklist.
Extinct taxa, only known as fossils (three genera and 12 species) are listed in a separate section below (Table
The pace of species description in Microgastrinae has been steadily increasing since the first species was described in 1758 and has shown no signs of slowing down (Fig.
Primary types of Microgastrinae are deposited in 108 institutions worldwide, although 76% of those types are concentrated in seventeen collections (Table
Microgastrine wasps have been recorded in most countries and all continents except Antarctica. Only 16 countries do not yet have any recorded species of Microgastrinae: Bahrain, Botswana, Bhutan, Cambodia, Djibouti, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Gambia, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Kuwait, Laos, Liberia, Mauritania, Qatar, and Swaziland. This is of course just an artifact of insufficient collecting and/or lack of studies in those countries; each is expected to harbour many species.
The current data (Table
There are three main limitations in our paper that we want to point out. The first relates to the coverage of primary types in our study. We were able to examine primary types for 1,394 species (46.5%), and for another 1,568 species (52.3%) we studied authenticated specimens, checked original descriptions, or read subsequent revisions. However, for 37 species (1.2%) we could not check any source of information, or it was considered inadequate, and they are left in the genus in which they were originally described (or as species inquirendae), with explanatory annotations. In future versions, we aim to increase the number of species for which we have examined primary types, but for the present paper the reader must consider the relatively large number of species still needing to be thoroughly studied. It is especially important to keep in mind that for some of those species for which we could only study descriptions (which may not be detailed or clear enough), the generic placement made in this paper might be incorrect.
A second limitation is the coverage of references concerning Microgastrinae. In the References section we tried to list all papers where original descriptions of Microgastrinae were published (those references in turn are cited under the corresponding treatment of every species in the checklist below). However, our list is not complete and we are aware of some omissions; in that sense, the latest versions of Taxapad (
A third limitation of our paper is that we do not treat host records in detail. We expect to present host data for microgastrine species with verified information in a subsequent version of the world checklist, although it is improbable that we will be able to comment with reliability on all published records. The latest versions of Taxapad (

Extinct genera and species of Microgastrinae have been found in Eocene and Oligocene deposits, from 37–44 million years ago (MYA). Many specimens from the Miocene (20–30 MYA) are known from Dominican and Chiapas ambers, but most appear to be undescribed representatives of extant genera (

Microgastrinae was originally described at family rank, as ‘Microgasteroidae’, by
The high diversity of Microgastrinae quickly became evident, and so attempts to split the group into further genera started shortly after
This view changed with two seminal works in 1965 and 1981.
Since
For the past few years the main problem with the generic concepts is that two different classifications of Microgastrinae have been proposed and are widely used: those based on
Number of extant species per larger genera of Microgastrinae A Data from Taxapad 2016, which is mostly an update, with slight modifications, of
The classification proposed by
The classification proposed by
To complicate things further, generic concepts changed slightly in Taxapad from the 2012 to the 2016 version (Table
a) Rasivalva should never have been considered to be part of Protapanteles as it has a complete areolet in the fore wing (a character not present in any Protapanteles or related genera);
b) Ectadiophatnus is listed as a genus of Microgastrinae in both the 2012 and 2016 versions, following
c) the species listed under Lissogaster have since 1988 been transferred back to Microgaster (see more details about that in
The rationale for the changes between versions of Taxapad is not always evident and, as far as we are aware, has never been explained in a published paper. As a result, it is difficult to follow the different arrangements of genera and subgenera, a problem which is further compounded by the use of tribes in the 2012 version, while the 2016 version added sub-tribes (Table

The last two published keys to world genera of Microgastrinae were in
Unfortunately, we still lack a robust phylogeny for the subfamily, which would be needed to provide a useful and comprehensive key. The limits of some genera at present are not well defined, and at times are contradictory; moreover, it is likely that future work will change many groups as currently understood. We anticipate that a few genera will end up as synonyms while several others, which are paraphyletic or polyphyletic as currently defined, will be split. This should likely result in an overall increase in the total number of genera as compared to present (e.g., see
We divide the 81 genera recognized in this paper into four groups and characterize each group and singular genus with brief morphological diagnoses. We emphasize that these groups are not to be considered as monophyletic, and we caution that the discussion below is not to be taken as a new phylogeny for the subfamily, which is beyond the scope of the present paper. We do not present the information below as a surrogate key either; to key out Microgastrinae genera the reader is advised to initially consider the works mentioned at the beginning of this section. Our only intention here is to provide the reader with some basic information on the concepts we have followed when making decisions about generic placement of species, especially in the new combinations we propose in the checklist below. Besides comments on morphological diagnoses, we also provide illustrations for every Microgastrinae genus (at least one species per genus, usually more), the first time that has been done for the entire subfamily.
We separate Microgastrinae into four broadly defined groups:
a) unplaced genera, all of which have unique morphological characters that make them very distinctive, although they do not share any character in common per se, comprising 18 genera: Austinicotesia, Austrocotesia, Beyarslania, Billmasonius, Clarkinella, Exulonyx, Fornicia, Janhalacaste, Kiwigaster, Mariapanteles, Miropotes, Neoclarkinella, Pelicope, Prasmodon, Qrocodiledundee, Semionis, Xanthomicrogaster, and Zachterbergius;
b) Microplitis group, which includes the Microplitini (sensu
c) Cotesia group, which includes most but not all of the Cotesiini (sensu
d) Apanteles group, which includes most but not all of the Apantelini + Microgastrini (sensu
a) Unplaced genera
Kiwigaster (Figs
Only five genera of Microgastrinae, Austinicotesia, Austrocotesia, Miropotes, Pelicope, and Semionis, have hind wings without vein 2r-m (all other known Microgastrinae have that vein present, although often weakly pigmented).
Pelicope and Semionis can be recognized within this group because both have the fore wing areolet very large (while the other three genera are without an areolet or have a very small areolet). Pelicope (Fig.
Miropotes (Figs
Austinicotesia (Figs
Only six genera of Microgastrinae have the propodeum mostly smooth except for complete longitudinal and transverse carinae: Beyarslania, Clarkinella, Janhalacaste, Neoclarkinella, Mariapanteles, and Prasmodon. We place them together because of the diagnostic value of that unique carination pattern, but it is clear that these genera do not constitute a monophyletic group.
Prasmodon (Figs
Clarkinella and Janhalacaste also have a fore wing areolet (although very small, almost obliterated) and can be distinguished from each other as follows. Clarkinella (Figs
Neoclarkinella (Figs
Mariapanteles and Beyarslania have the hypopygium mostly inflexible, with a posteromedian translucent fold where only a few or no pleats are visible; and T1 has a sharply defined median, longitudinal sulcus, at least on the anterior half. Mariapanteles (Figs
The remaining six genera in this group cannot easily be associated with any other genus and are discussed below in alphabetical order.

b) Microplitis group
This is one of the best-defined groups of genera within Microgastrinae (see Mason 1918), and most likely to be monophyletic. It is characterized by: tentorial pits relatively large, head mostly coarsely sculptured, stemmaticum usually very well defined and slightly to strongly raised from the surrounding areas, anteromesoscutum and scutellar disc usually coarsely sculptured, notauli almost always defined (often very clearly), propodeum always sculptured and with several strongly defined carinae, fore wing with areolet usually large, metacoxa relatively small, metatibial spurs short, T1 with median longitudinal sulcus, hypopygium inflexible and almost always relatively short, ovipositor sheaths with few setae that are mostly limited to the apex, and ovipositor almost always very short (much shorter than 0.5 × metatibia length).
Philoplitis (Figs
Silvaspinosus (Fig.

Microplitis (Figs
Jenopappius (Figs
c) Cotesia group
We place here genera with a completely inflexible hypopygium, ovipositor sheaths relatively short (less than 0.5 × metatibial length, usually much less) and mostly without setae (except apically in some cases). Most of the 29 genera considered here also have the propodeum without a complete areola (although some have it, and others have a complex arrangement of carinae and sculpture where a partial to complete areola can sometimes be defined). Although these features work well to recognize most members of the group, a few species of Sathon, Lathrapanteles, Glyptapanteles, and Ohenri have relatively long ovipositor sheaths, but in these cases the hypopygium is still always inflexible. Most or perhaps all the species within the Cotesia group posses a suite of characters indicative of parasitism of “macrolepidoptera” (sensu
The Cotesia group can be broadly split into two subgroups, based on whether the fore wing has an areolet (Buluka, Cuneogaster, Diolcogaster, Eripnopelta, Exix, Jimwhitfieldius, Keylimepie, Larissimus, Markshawius, Parenion, Protomicroplitis, Rasivalva, Ungunicus, Venanus) or does not have an areolet (Carlmuesebeckius, Chaoa, Cotesia, Deuterixys, Distatrix, Glyptapanteles, Lathrapanteles, Nyereria, Ohenri, Protapanteles, Pseudofornicia, Pseudovenanides, Sathon, Venanides, Wilkinsonellus).

d) Apanteles group
The largest subgroup includes 13 genera that lack a fore wing areolet: Alphomelon, Apanteles, Dolichogenidea, Exoryza, Iconella, Illidops, Napamus, Parapanteles, Pholetesor, Pseudapanteles, Rhygoplitis, Shireplitis, and Xanthapanteles. Another two genera could be placed here, at least partially: some species of Choeras lack a fore wing areolet; however, most of the species have a complete or partial areolet so we consider Choeras to be better placed with the subgroup of genera with a complete or partial fore wing areolet; and a similar situation occurs with Promicrogaster, where smaller species tend to lack the areolet whereas the larger species have a complete areolet, and we similarly place that genus in the subgroup with an areolet. These two genera exemplify the challenges of delimiting precise groups in Microgastrinae (a frustration also shared by
Among the genera without a fore wing areolet, four have the propodeum either with a median longitudinal carina (Iconella, Pseudapanteles, Rhygoplitis) or with a complex pattern that includes full sculpturing and a series of short carinae radiating medially on the posterior 0.2–0.3 near the nucha (Illidops). A fifth genus, Napamus, could also be included in this subgroup, as one of its two described species has the propodeum with a median, longitudinal carina; however, the other species does not (

The other eight genera without a fore wing areolet have the propodeum with a complete to partial areola, although in large genera such as Apanteles, Dolichogenidea, and Pholetesor, some species have lost all carinae and the propodeum is mostly smooth.

Another subgroup within the Apanteles group includes six genera, Agupta, Dasylagon, Hypomicrogaster, Papanteles, Promicrogaster, and Sendaphne, that can be recognized by the fore wing with a very small areolet, sometimes almost obliterated. They also share (except for Agupta, see below) having the scutellum with lunules relatively high, more than 0.5 × the height of its lateral face. These genera are separated from each other based on different propodeal carination patterns, and T1 and T2 shapes and sculptures. Some described species of Choeras, almost exclusively from the Oriental region, have a very small areolet and thus could be included in this group. However, these are exceptions and are very likely to be transferred elsewhere or classified separately. For now, we place Choeras (see below) within the subgroup with a large fore wing areolet.
Agupta (Figs
Promicrogaster and Sendaphne can be recognized by the following combination of features: glossa elongate and bilobate, metacoxa very long (0.8–1.0 × metafemur length and 0.6–0.8 × metatibia length), and ovipositor and ovipositor sheaths very long – among the longest in Microgastrinae usually 2.0 × as long as the metatibia or even longer. Most species have the body length longer than the fore wing length, usually by 0.2–0.4 mm (the majority of Microgastrinae species have the fore wing slightly longer than the body length). These two genera are very closely related and may eventually be treated as a single genus. Promicrogaster (Figs
Dasylagon (Fig.
Hypomicrogaster (Figs
Papanteles (Fig.
The remaining eight genera in the Apanteles group all have the fore wing areolet relatively large; even when some species may have a relatively smaller areolet, it never appears almost obliterated.
Ypsilonigaster (Figs
Hygroplitis and Microgaster have the propodeum with a median carina, fore wing areolet relatively large, anteromesoscutum anteriorly mostly smooth, T1 and T2 heavily sculptured (also T3, partially or entirely), T1 relatively large and wide (width at posterior margin greater than width at anterior margin), and T2 mostly rectangular. The two genera are very closely related and DNA barcodes suggest Hygroplitis may eventually be synonymized under Microgaster. Hygroplitis (Figs

Specimens can be found in all major terrestrial ecosystems, from 82°30'N (Canada, Nunavut, Ellesmere Island, Alert) to 55°S (Argentina and Chile, Tierra del Fuego) in the New World and 50°S (New Zealand, Auckland Islands) in the Old World, and from sea level up to at least 4,500 m (
World genera of Microgastrinae, based on the present paper. The column Species richness details the current number of described species and estimated total, for each genus, the two figures separate by a slash. The estimated total is very conservative and is based on specimens we have seen in collections. For many genera, more species are to be expected. World region keys: NEO Neotropical, NEA Nearctic, PAL Palaearctic, OTL Oriental, AFR Afrotropical, AUS Australasian (including Oceanian). X Genus present in specific region. X* New record for that region (based on undescribed species seen in collections). X- Introduced into that region, not native. X? Questionable record for a region. The column Host data tallies the genera that have at least one lepidopteran host recorded (although no critical assessment of how accurate those host records was made). The column DNA barcodes records all genera for which there is at least one DNA barcode available; Yes- denotes a genus with only partial sequence(s) available, without fulfilling the criteria for DNA-barcode compliant sequences (see Materials and methods for definition of a barcode-compliant sequence).

The most species-rich genera are Apanteles (in its restricted sense) and Glyptapanteles. The latter is probably the largest, but it may eventually be split into several genera. In contrast, Apanteles, although also likely to have some species reclassified into other genera, is a much more cohesive group and might end up being the larger group if many species are removed from the current Glyptapanteles. Regardless, the diversity of both genera will likely comprise a few thousand species each.
Apanteles already contains more than 630 described species (see checklist below); just in ACG, Costa Rica, 186 new species were recently described (
Glyptapantes contains more than 300 species, with hundreds of undescribed species from all biogeographical regions seen in collections; we estimate that the world total could be more than 3,000 species. However, the generic limits are controversial (see previous section) and it may eventually be restricted to a slightly smaller, although still substantial, number of species. Regardless, its status as one of the two largest genera of Microgastrinae is certain.
The following genera are also very speciose: Cotesia, Diolcogaster, Dolichogenidea, Hypomicrogaster, and Microplitis. Among these, Diolcogaster is clearly the largest, and it could attain more than 1,000 species. But it will almost certainly be split into several genera and thus it could potentially end up having just a few hundred species. Cotesia, already with more than 320 described species, will also attain more than 1,000 species (
Other relatively large genera are Microgaster, Choeras, and Pholetesor in temperate areas, and Parapanteles and Pseudapanteles in tropical areas. All of them are likely to have more than one hundred (in most cases several hundred) species. A few other genera might be equally large, but the material in collections is not comprehensive enough to provide estimates.
In regional composition, the tropical areas have a larger representation than temperate areas (as expected) with the Oriental (46 genera) and Neotropical (43 genera) regions being of comparable diversity, and the Afrotropical (36 genera) and Australasian (28 genera) regions following. Furthermore, we have seen in collections several putative additional (undescribed) genera from all tropical regions. In temperate areas, the Nearctic region (33 genera, including several Neotropical genera having a few species entering North America) has the highest generic diversity and the Palaearctic region (28 genera, including some Oriental genera that have a few species entering the southernmost areas of the Palearctic) has the lowest diversity. Considered as a whole, the entire Holarctic region would have a relatively high diversity of 39 genera.
The distribution of individual genera worldwide (Fig.
Eleven genera (13.6%) are restricted to the New World tropics (Neotropical region): Cuneogaster, Dasylagon, Janhalacaste, Larissimus, Mariapanteles, Papanteles, Prasmodon, Sendaphne, Venanus, Xanthapanteles, and Xanthomicrogaster. Another nine genera (Alphomelon, Clarkinella, Exix, Hypomicrogaster, Lathrapanteles, Protomicroplitis, Pseudapanteles, Rhygoplitis, and Venanus) are almost exclusively found in the Neotropics, with few species reaching the Nearctic. The only genus that can be considered as a Nearctic endemic is Pelicope.
Ten genera (12.3%) are relatively widespread in, but restricted to, the Old World tropics: Agupta, Alloplitis, Buluka, Miropotes, Parenion, and Pseudofornicia. We also consider here Neoclarkinella, Nyereria, Philoplitis, and Pseudovenanides as almost exclusively present in the Old World tropics, as only a few species reach the southernmost areas of the Palaearctic.
Only two genera (2.5%) (Fornicia and Wilkinsonellus) seem to be pantropical, and completely absent in the Holarctic. Because almost all undescribed genera of Microgastrinae in collections are from tropical areas, this proportion could increase. No genus has a strictly Holarctic distribution, but three genera almost fulfill that criterion, as just a few species of each reach the northern limits of either the Oriental region (Hygroplitis and Paroplitis) or the Neotropical region (Rhygoplitis).
A total of 35 genera (43.2%) are presently known only from a single biogeographical region, with the Neotropical and Oriental regions each having ten endemic genera, respectively, and the Afrotropical having eight (Table
During the past 12+ years, an extensive library of DNA barcodes for Microgastrinae has been assembled (
BINs usually match well with putative species (as identified by an expert taxonomist), and thus could be used as a surrogate for analyses of species diversity, like other Operational Taxonomic Units (e.g.,
At the genus level, a significant proportion (67 genera or 83%) have some DNA data (Table
With 2,999 valid species of Microgastrinae recognized here, an interesting question is how many species remain undescribed, whether or not known from collections. The actual species richness of Microgastrinae worldwide has been variously estimated during the past 35 years. At the lower end,
Obviously, these estimates vary considerably: if the lowest one (3,617) were accurate, then we would already know 82% of the Microgastrinae species; if the highest one (46,620) were accurate, then the described species would represent only 6% of the actual diversity worldwide. Which estimate is more likely to be correct?
While a definite answer cannot be provided, some refinement of the current estimates is possible. The lowest range (3,000–5,000 species) is clearly too low based on what is currently known (2,999 described, valid species are recognized in this paper). As mentioned in the previous section, and despite its limited geographical coverage, Microgastrinae public BINs already represent 3,545 putative species. But, even if DNA data is disregarded, we have certainly seen in collections a few thousand undescribed species, which are clearly distinct based on morphological features alone. In that sense, Mason’s estimate of 10,000 species seems very reasonable.
But could the figures from
But just a few years later, some of the numbers used by
Thus, the updated L/M ratios calculated for the above regions decreased, from an average of 16/1 in
As far as we know, there is only one major caveat in using L/M ratios to extrapolate and calculate the world fauna of Microgastrinae: at present all known figures come from temperate areas, with the sole exception of ACG. There is no other tropical area in the world with sufficient data to allow for meaningful L/M ratios to be calculated. Thus, it may be argued that if different ratios were prevalent in temperate areas compared to the tropics, which harbour, by far, the highest richness of Microgastrinae, then the overall world estimates could not be as high as
As with many insect groups, knowledge of Microgastrinae has been historically concentrated on the Northern Hemisphere temperate fauna. However, numerous recent studies are starting to shift focus to the tropics, with most new species in the past few years being described from the hitherto poorly worked Neotropical and Oriental regions, chiefly Costa Rica, China, and India.
In the Western Palearctic subregion, papers from the 1960s–1990s from Nixon and Papp treated most of the Microgastrinae species known up to that time, following careful work by Wilkinson from the 1920s–1940s aimed largely at interpreting poorly understood names (see papers of these three authors cited in the References section). Recent works have described a relatively small number of new species, although their papers sometimes included detailed accounts of species biology, and there is an ongoing concomitant deposition of DNA barcodes, etc. (
In the Nearctic region progress has been slower than in the Palearctic. After two seminal papers from
The Neotropical region has been the focus of recent efforts, including the description of more than 400 new species and revision of many genera. However, most of those papers deal almost exclusively with the fauna of ACG, Costa Rica (
The Oriental region, with 752 described species, currently ranks third after the Palearctic and Neotropical regions. It also contains thousands of undescribed species and may rival the Neotropical region as the most speciose. Recent advances have mostly been made in China and India, but we are also aware of large collections of specimens from other countries such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, which have already resulted in several publications (
No significant progress has been made in the Afrotropical region for the past half a century. The very few exceptions include recent papers on the fauna of Réunion (
Since the 1990s, several papers have treated the Australasian species (

For example, the record of Apidae (Bombus sp.) as “host” of Microgastrinae can be easily rejected. Bombus nests have associated case-bearing moth caterpillars (Tineidae) feeding within the nest and the three known species of Microgastrinae that emerge from those nests actually parasitize the caterpillars, not the bees (
Two other recent examples are equally illustrative. The record of Enoicyla pusilla (Burmeister) (Trichoptera: Limnophilidae) as a host of the microgastrine Choeras gielisi (
Even if examples of parasitization of other insect orders by Microgastrinae are well founded, we consider such cases would be highly abnormal.

The two published records of Nepticuloidea as hosts are also highly suspicious.
Adeloidea and Tischerioidea are the most basal superfamilies of Lepidoptera (and the only non-Ditrysia groups) for which there is reasonably solid evidence supporting them as being hosts of Microgastrinae. There is reliable data showing that a few Microgastrinae indeed parasitize species of Adelidae (
Ditrysia (sensu
The published sources we compiled so far include Lepidoptera host data for 44 genera (54%) and around 1,250 species (42%) of Microgastrinae. Although the coverage is insufficient, those records include 3,200+ species of Lepidoptera and represent 5,500+ supposed host/parasitoid associations. In addition, there is a large amount of unpublished but databased host information (e.g., http://janzen.sas.upenn.edu/caterpillars/database.lasso; http://www.caterpillars.org/), with hundreds of additional host/parasitoid records from currently undescribed microgastrine species (e.g.,
From the data presently available, the top ten families of Lepidoptera (as per number of species recorded as host) which are parasitized by Microgastrinae are Noctuidae, Tortricidae, Pyralidae, Crambidae, Geometridae, Gracillariidae, Depressariidae, Hesperiidae, Gelechiidae, and Nymphalidae. Altogether those families account for two-thirds of all known host/microgastrine parasitoid associations, which is not surprising given that they are also among the most species- rich Lepidoptera families. That probably also reflects a bias in collecting effort: these families provide most of the economically important crop and forestry pests, which are accordingly the most intensely sampled taxa for their parasitoids. Further, in some of these families there are large and/or spectacular caterpillars that are the most often seen and reared by hobbyists. Other groups such as stem borers, leaf litter, and canopy caterpillars tend to be less commonly reared.
Earlier compilations for species within particular microgastrine genera are dominated by records from the northern temperate region which are unlikely to reflect the complete spectrum of host associations when the ongoing (but currently mostly unpublished) massive number of rearings from tropical surveys are taken into account, e.g.,
Despite the constraints mentioned above and the relatively poor state of knowledge, some general comments can be made for some of the most speciose Microgastrinae genera. For example, most Microgaster, Choeras, Apanteles, and Dolichogenidea species parasitize more or less concealed host larvae, allowing the final instar larvae of these parasitoids to carry out their external feeding phase in a sheltered environment, and host Lepidoptera with this amenable larval biology overwhelmingly belong to the families of the so-called microlepidoptera. Other genera such as Pholetesor and Deuterixys specialize on leaf-miners and parasitize hosts that feed in at least moderate concealment, as is required by the final external tissue-feeding phase of their parasitoid larvae. This is correlated with their use of hosts primarily from microlepidopteran families, which tend to be small, resulting in most of the parasitoids of microlepidoptera being solitary. In contrast, genera such as Microplitis, Cotesia, Distatrix, Diolcogaster, Protapanteles, and Glyptapanteles are fully endophagous and well-suited to parasitize exposed Lepidoptera larvae, such as those of many macrolepidoptera, which tend to be large and are thus more suited to support gregariousness, which is much more expressed in these microgastrine genera. There are exceptions, but they can often be understood in autecological terms, e.g., the few Microgaster that parasitize macrolepidopterans have hosts that feed or rest in concealed sites (
Whenever comprehensive data are available, be it in temperate (e.g., in Europe and especially the United Kingdom), or tropical areas (e.g., ACG), patterns emerge. Often, they show that many species within most genera of Microgastrinae appear to have a high host specificity, often having been recorded from only a single or very few taxonomically closely related species. An alternative is having ecologically similar hosts (
However, some species of Microgastrinae seem to be much less restricted. Examples include Glyptapanteles vitripennis (Curtis, 1830), an incredibly polyphagous species with an immense host range of mainly (but not entirely) exposed macrolepidoptera found on trees and bushes in Europe (
A few Microgastrinae genera seem to be restricted to only one host Lepidoptera family, e.g., Alphomelon (only reared from Hesperiidae), Fornicia (Limacodidae), Janhalacaste (Depressariidae), Papanteles and Xanthomicrogaster (Crambidae), and Pelicope (Prodoxidae). However, these microgastrine genera are not very species rich and it is difficult to know whether more data would extend their apparent associations.
For more speciose genera, the patterns are less clear or consistent, as the number of host families increases, in some cases dramatically. This may in part be a consequence of some Microgastrinae genera not being well defined, comprising at present an arrangement of different lineages that may be separated into different genera in future, e.g., Choeras, Diolcogaster, Glyptapanteles, and Hypomicrogaster. But some large and relatively well-defined genera, e.g., Apanteles, Cotesia, Dolichogenidea, Microplitis, and Microgaster, have large host ranges, including both early and more recently branching lepidopteran families, and ecological factors in their radiations have clearly been of importance.
There is no comprehensive account of the impact of Microgastrinae in biological control.
In summary, Microgastrinae are the most abundant and diverse taxon of hymenopteran parasitoids reared from lepidopteran caterpillars worldwide. However, our current level of knowledge is still poor, as more than half of the wasp species have no host association records, and of the records that do exist, many of them are doubtful or plainly wrong. Considerable effort will be needed before we have a better and more accurate picture of the host/parasitoid associations of most species of Microgastrinae. Thus, in this paper we only provide general comments; details on individual host/parasitoid associations are intentionally omitted to avoid repeating and perpetuating inaccurate information.
[Genera, and species within each genus, are arranged in alphabetical order. At the end of the list we place the species we consider as species inquirendae, nomina dubia, and nomina nuda, also in alphabetical order.

The type species of Holcapanteles is H. sulciscutis Cameron, 1905, from Indonesia. The holotype is apparently lost (
Currently Apanteles is the largest genus of Microgastrinae with 633 described species from all biogeographical regions (although, interestingly, there are no native species in New Zealand and the genus has not been recorded from the high Arctic). Several regional revisions are available, but some are very outdated and the taxonomic coverage of world species is far from complete. We have seen a large number of undescribed species in collections, mostly from tropical areas, and the actual species richness may well attain several thousand species. The name Apanteles was traditionally applied to all species with the fore wing areolet open: subsequently Apanteles auctt. has been split into numerous genera starting as early as 1880 and resulting in more than two dozen new genera being proposed since (see

Apanteles caesar Wilkinson, 1938.
Type information. Holotype female,
Geographical distribution. AFR.
AFR: Namibia, South Africa.
Notes. This species bears some resemblance to the two described species currently placed within Napamus. It shares with them the dark colour, infumate wings, elongate mouth parts (especially very long glossa and galea), and relatively short fore wing vein R1 (although not as short as in the two described Napamus). However, we retain caesar within Apanteles because it has some differences in propodeum sculpture (which is mostly smooth, having only small carinae near the nucha), metatibial spines (which are not as long as in Napamus) and the disparate geographic distribution of the known species.

Notes. It is possible this is actually a Dolichogenidea species. The hind wing vannal lobes are not clearly visible (they are folded in both wings in the holotype) but what can be seen suggests they may be setose. Additionally, the anteromesoscutum punctures near the scutoscutellar sulcus do not fuse. However, because we cannot see the vannal lobe clearly, we refrain from transferring the species in this paper.

Apanteles leptothecus (Cameron, 1907)
Pseudapanteles leptothecus Cameron, 1907.
Type information. Holotype female,
Geographical distribution. OTL.
OTL: India.
Notes. The holotype is in very poor condition, missing the entire metasoma, the head badly smashed, and with the micropin (which was pinned through the mesosoma) corroding. However, the propodeum is clearly visible, as well as the vannal lobe of one hind wing. Based on that, it is still possible to corroborate the placement of this species within Apanteles, although probably the type would be mostly useless for a better characterization of the species.

Notes. The original description suggests this species may belong to Choeras (based on the host species as well as the comparison the author made with Choeras adjuntcus). However, the details of the propodeum, T1–T3, and ovipositor cannot be interpreted unambiguously as being similar to Choeras (other genera could also be considered, including Apanteles). Thus, until specimens can be studied, we think is better to retain the species in the genus in which it was originally described.

Notes. In EIHU there is a specimen with a label that reads “?Type Apanteles uchida Watanabe”. However, that label is white, unlike all other labels of primary types in EIHU which are red, and the writing on it is not from Watanabe; thus, it was presumably added later by someone else, and perhaps indicates that the actual type is lost (or at least not clearly marked). In any case, the specimen is in very poor condition, as the only remains are the mesosoma (with a micropin through it, so some characters are not visible), two metacoxae, one metafemur, one fore wing, and the two hind wings.

One known species from the Oriental region, described from a single female from China. No host data are currently available for this genus. There are no DNA barcodes of Chaoa in BOLD. The only reference available is the original description, which included three line drawings showing the species habitus dorsally, and some details of the metasoma. We suspect the validity of this genus, as it seems to us to be just a species of Glyptapanteles. The appearance of mediotergite II (divided into three sections by a pair of longitudinal grooves delimiting a smooth, medial are) was considered by

Type information. Syntypes female and male,
Geographical distribution. NEA.
NEA: USA (CT, IL, MA, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI, TX, VA, WV).
Notes. By all accounts this species seems to better be placed in Protapanteles than Cotesia, but we refrain from transferring it here until future studies resolve better the relationships between those two genera (see above under the section Brief diagnosis of all Microgastrinae genera as they are understood in this paper, for a discussion of Protapanteles as just a potential species group of Cotesia; p 35, 36. The whole body of euchaetis is unusually smooth (although the female syntype has many body parts covered in glue, artificially increasing the shiny and smooth appearance); T1 is parallel-sided, and especially T2 is subtriangular (trapezoidal) and rather small and narrow (very much unlike Cotesia and more like Protapanteles); the propodeum has only a short, apically defined, median carina (discernible in the female only) without any other carinae visible on the propodeum (although perhaps the glue obscures the sculpture, if there is any carination, it would still be very faint).

Notes. Because the only known specimen is male, it is difficult to conclude with certainty, but the original description makes clear this species is not Apanteles. Here we transfer it to Cotesia based on the propodeum having a strong, median longitudinal carina, metatibial spurs of equal size and relatively short, and T1 mostly parallel-sided (although posterior 0.2 narrows towards posterior margin). Additional support to consider exelastisae in Cotesia comes from the original description, which considered it morphologically close to Apanteles erionotae Wilkinson (currently placed in Cotesia) and also the host species being Pterophoridae (

Notes. From the original description and accompanying drawings, it is clear that this species is not an Apanteles. There is a small chance it could be placed within Parapanteles (examination of the specimens will be needed in the future to conclude); however, we consider that it is much more likely the species belongs in Cotesia, based on the short ovipositor sheaths, the propodeum carination and the available host data. An indirect support (but far from conclusive) for this species being placed in Cotesia is that all of its reported hosts are moths of the family Lasiocampidae (see

Notes. Based on the original description, this species is clearly not Apanteles, due to a median longitudinal carina on the propodeum and the short ovipositor. Those characters, coupled with the shape and sculpture of T1 and T2 (also taken from the original description), strongly suggest the best generic placement at present to be in Cotesia. However, until the holotype (only known specimen) is found and studied, this decision must be considered as provisional.

Notes. The holotype has a mostly smooth T1 (only the apical 0.3 with shallow punctures) and an almost entirely smooth T2. The propodeum is also mostly smooth, with a few short carinae near the nucha, but without a median longitudinal carina, although there are traces (laterally) of the transverse carina, which forks around the spiracles. Overall this is a relatively very smooth species of Cotesia which could be considered to be a Protapanteles. However, because Protapanteles may represent just a species group of Cotesia (see above under the section Brief diagnosis of all Microgastrinae genera as they are understood in this paper for a discussion) we retain teleae within Cotesia for the time being.

However, the description mentions that the ovipositor sheaths lack “appendix” (from the original description: “dépourvues d'appendice”) which could be interpreted as lacking setae, at least on the apex of the sheaths. The genus Rasivalva looks like Diolcogaster except for the ovipositor sheaths lacking visible setae, thus there is a small chance that this species could actually belong to Rasivalva. Without examining specimens, it is impossible to conclude, but because at present there is only one Rasivalva species recorded from the Afrotropical region (versus dozens of Diolcogaster), the probability of the species belonging to Rasivalva is much smaller.

Notes. Transferred to Dolichogenidea based on the entirely setose hind wing vannal lobe, and the anteromesoscutum with punctures not fusing near the scutoscutellar sulcus. The holotype has a mostly inflexible hypopygium and relatively short ovipositor sheaths (ca. half the length of the metatibia), which might indicate that Pholetesor would be a better generic placement. However, we have decided to transfer this species to Dolichogenidea as it belongs to a group of species which are all currently placed in that genus. Furthermore, all known hosts of this wasp belong to Momphidae, a Lepidoptera family which has only been recorded as a host for a few other Dolichogenidea species (e.g., see

Notes. The setae on the hind wing vannal lobe are very small and not easily visible, but otherwise this species mostly agrees with the Dolichogenidea concept we follow in this paper. Although the hypopygium is evenly sclerotized, which would suggest Pholetesor as a better generic placement than Dolichogenidea, we refrain to transfer those species in this paper until more evidence is available, especially based on molecular studies (see also additional comments under D. artisima above).

Apanteles stenotelas Nixon, 1965.
Type information. Holotype female,
Geographical distribution. AUS, OTL.
AUS: Vanuatu, OTL: Vietnam.
Notes. After examining the holotype, we believe the best generic placement for this species is in Dolichogenidea, based on the relatively coarse punctures on the anteromesoscutum (which do not fuse near the scutoscutellar sulcus), and the entirely setose vannal lobe in the hind wing (although setae are rather small and a magnification more than 100 × is recommended to see the setation pattern).

Notes. A drawing from the original description clearly shows a setose vannal lobe in the hind wing, and thus the species is here transferred to Dolichogenidea. The species name must be treated as an adjective and not as a noun (Doug Yanega, pers. comm.) and thus it must match the gender of the genus name.

Apanteles arginae Bhatnagar, 1950.
Type information. Holotype female,

OTL: India.
Notes. Based on the original description this species is clearly not an Apanteles. The description of the propodeum with a faint median longitudinal carina, short ovipositor sheaths, T1 smooth and narrowing towards apex, and T2 smooth and subtriangular shaped, all suggest that the best generic placement for this species at present would be within Glyptapanteles. However, examination of the holotype and paratypes may change that in the future. The year of publication of the Bhatnagar paper was until recently commonly cited as 1948 and/or 1950 (e.g.,

Notes. The original description states this species is very close to A. intricatus (de Saeger, 1944), which in turn was described as very close to several species currently placed within Glyptapanteles. The drawings of the original description of A. intricatus indeed confirm it belongs to Glyptapanteles, and thus argus is also placed in that genus.

Notes. After examining the holotype, we believe the specimen may be better placed in Protapanteles, because of the sculpture and carination of propodeum. However, the fore tarsus does not have a thick seta (usual for Protapanteles) and the ovipositor sheaths are hidden inside the hypopygium so it is not clear if they have setae or not. Because only the holotype is known, we refrain from transferring the species here and prefer to retain it in Glyptapanteles, as

Notes. There is a single card piece on the pin, with seven cuts where each syntype is glued. Four syntypes are in relatively poor condition: one has only three legs glued to the card, another has only some legs and metasoma left, a third is missing the head (there is one head loose in the unit tray where the specimens are placed), and a fourth is missing the metasoma. The remaining three syntypes are mostly in good condition (although only two specimens each have one complete antenna remaining). The fourth specimen, from left to right, is a female in relatively fair condition (with one antenna complete and another antenna broken before the middle) and here we designate it as the lectotype; it is placed between a complete specimen to its left and a specimen missing the metasoma to its right.

Apanteles nepitae Wilkinson, 1934.
Type information. Holotype female,

OTL: Sri Lanka.
Notes. After examining the holotype, we place this species in Glyptapanteles based on the inflexible hypopygium, short ovipositor sheaths with a few setae, T1 mostly parallel-sided but narrowing towards posterior margin on apical third, and T2 subtriangular (trapezoidal) in shape. However, this species is not typical within the genus, as the propodeum has two short carinae near the nucha, which appear to represent a partial areola (but just very short). Most Glyptapanteles species, when they have some carination it is mostly a complete (or partial) median, longitudinal carina, or a few, very short carinae near nucha that do not appear to represent a partial areola. But, other than those carinae, the specimen fits well within Glyptapanteles and thus we transfer it to that genus here.

Notes. The holotype, with code 3c.1032, is a male specimen and not a female as previously stated. The confusion is likely due to the relatively small size of the specimen (2.1 mm body length) and the fact that one of the gonoforceps is slightly pulled outwards, more than the rest of the external genitalia, giving the impression of being a very short ovipositor sheath. That must have been very difficult to appreciate with older microscopes and also explains why

Notes. This species is clearly not Apanteles. The holotype has a mostly smooth propodeum, although a median carina is visible on posterior 0.4, as well as two lateral carinae (at both sides of the median carina) which seem to define a partial areola on posterior 0.3 of propodeum; T1 is smooth and mostly parallel-sided but narrowing on posterior 0.3; T2 is smooth and trapezoidal in shape; the ovipositor and ovipositor sheaths are very short (less than 0.2 metatibia length) and the sheaths are mostly without setae (but with a few setae near apex, those setae being as long as the setae on the hypopygium). Most of those features could be associated with Glyptapanteles (shapes of T1 and T2; mostly smooth propodeum, T1, and T2, ovipositor and sheaths), but what appears to be a partially defined areola on posterior 0.3 of the propodeum would be closer to Cotesia (and in fact, there are Cotesia species with similar shape and sculpture of T1 and T2 and mostly smooth propodeum, e.g., see Figure

Glyptapanteles siderion (Nixon, 1965), new combination
Apanteles siderion Nixon, 1965.
Type information. Holotype female,
Geographical distribution. OTL.
OTL: Indonesia.
Notes. This species is clearly not an Apanteles, based on the inflexible hypopygium and very short, mostly glabrous, ovipositor sheaths. The best generic placement at present would be in Glyptapanteles; however, the propodeum has a complete transverse carina (in addition to the median one), and T1 has a weakly defined longitudinal sulcus on the anterior 0.3 of tergite. It is likely that this species, together with Apanteles atylana Nixon (which is similar to siderion) and several undescribed species we have seen in collections from the Oriental region, will be placed in a different, new genus (related to the Cotesiini group of genera; see section above Brief diagnosis of all Microgastrinae genera as they are understood in this paper, for details of our current concepts on Microgastrinae groups) in the future. Pending the resolution of these species in a future paper, here we transfer siderion and atylana to Glyptapanteles.

Notes. A critical re-examination of the many available specimens (including the holotype), as well as the numerous DNA barcodes available, clearly indicates that this species is better placed within Hypomicrogaster. Among the main morphological characters that suggest so, the propodeum has an irregular pattern of carinae radiating from the nucha, as well as coarse sculpture (over most of propodeum), which have been observed in other species of Hypomicrogaster; also, the fore wing venation suggests a very small (basically obliterated) areolet, which would clearly exclude the species from Apanteles. The DNA barcodes cluster with many species of Hypomicrogaster and relatively far from other species of Apanteles, further supporting the decision to transfer the species.

Notes. We accept and follow here the decision made by
“Ichneumon globatus Linnaeus, 1758 has been for long a problematic species and was mostly associated with the genus Microgaster Latreille, 1804. This is contradicted by the biological data supplied in the original description and the specimens in the Linnean Society (http://linnean-on1ine.org/16250/). They may be from the original Linnean collection and are labelled (by Linnaeus?) as «globatus ?». It concerns specimens of a gregarious species with yellow hind coxae on a white cocoon-mass, probably belonging to the genus Protapanteles Ashmead, 1900. This disagrees with Linnaeus' (1761) statement that the host is Papilio brassicae and therewith implying that this species is Cotesia glomerata (Linnaeus, 1758), the common gregarious parasitoid of the cabbage white (Pieris brassicae (Linnaeus, 1758)). The oldest available name for Ichneumon globatus auctt. is Microgaster rufipes Nees, 1834”.

Microplitis Foerster, 1863: 245. Gender: masculine. Type species: Microgaster sordipes Nees, 1834, by original designation.
This is a cosmopolitan genus, with 192 described species, but we have seen many additional species in collections, mostly from temperate areas, and the actual number of species could be at least twice that currently known. There are some revisions available for certain regions and/or countries, but most are outdated and even the most recent ones do not take into account the hidden diversity that is revealed by DNA barcoding and biological data. Approximately 12 families of Lepidoptera have been recorded as hosts for Microplitis, but many records are likely to be incorrect and/or need further verification. There are almost 4,000 DNA-barcode compliant sequences of this genus in BOLD, representing 212 BINs.

Microgaster adisurae Subba Rao & Sharma, 1960.
Type information. Holotype female,
Geographical distribution. OTL.
OTL: India.
Notes. Transferred to Microplitis based on the original descriptions and illustrations provided, which show short ovipositor and ovipositor sheaths (the sheaths with only few setae concentrated at apex), T1 narrowing towards posterior margin and more than 2.5 × as long medially as its width at posterior margin, T2 subtriangular, metatibial spurs less than half length of first segment of metatarsus. All these characters exclude the species from being Microgaster and strongly indicate the best generic placement at present to be in Microplitis.

Notes. The illustration of the mesosoma and metasoma in the original description suggest that this species might belong to Snellenius, based on the deep notauli, the deeply impressed scutellar disc, and the shape of T1. However, the English translation (Xu and He 1999: 67, 68) that follows the Chinese description makes no mention of an epicnemial carina, the most distinguishing character of Snellenius; thus, we retain the species under the genus in which it was originally described.

Notes. Until now this was considered a subspecies of Nyereria mlanje (Wilkinson, 1929). After comparing the holotypes of both taxa, we consider them to be distinct species (see more comments above under mlanje). Nyereria nigricoxis has darker legs (especially metacoxa and metatibia), T1 narrower at the posterior margin, and T2 with a median raised area much thinner than in mlanje. The fore wing venation also differs, specially the proportional lengths of veins r and 2RS.

Notes. This species was transferred from Apanteles to Dolichogenidea by Long and Belokobylskij (1990). However, we have examined the holotype, which has an inflexible hypopygium and very short ovipositor sheaths (less than 0.3 × metatibia length). Those characters suggest this species is better placed in Parapanteles, as is the case with two related taxa (Apanteles hyposidrae Wilkinson, 1928 and Apanteles aso Nixon, 1967). These three species were keyed out together in the same section of the key to Indo-Australian species of the ultor group by

Notes. The holotype is more reddish, when compared to the paratype illustrated in Gupta & Fernandez-Triana (2014), which looks more black. The holotype also has transverse striation on the middle of the hypopygium (very unusual and nothing to do with the hypopygium pleats, as it is actually oriented perpendicular to the hypopygium margin). Based on the inflexible hypopygium lacking pleats, we transfer this species to Parapanteles.

OTL: India.
Notes. The original description and drawings included there show a hind wing with vannal lobe fully setose, an inflexible hypopygium, and very short ovipositor sheaths (its length equal to the first segment of the metatarsus). Based on those characters, this species is clearly not an Apanteles but is better placed in Parapanteles.

Notes. The species was described as Apanteles, but the very small ovipositor and ovipositor sheaths indicate it does not belong to that genus. The original description does not provide any details about the propodeum, which would have helped considerably to assess the genus to which this species belongs. Without examining the specimens, the best generic placement at present is in Parapanteles.

Apanteles nydia Nixon, 1967.
Type information. Holotype female,
Geographical distribution. OTL.
OTL: India.
Notes. This species exemplifies the sometimes-blurred lines separating Dolichogenidea from Parapanteles. The holotype has the hind wing vannal lobe entirely setose, the anteromesoscutum punctures do not fuse near the scutoscutellar sulcus, the ovipositor sheaths are approximately half the length of the metatibia, and the hypopygium is mostly inflexible (although with a minor fold, seen as a translucent area ventro-posteriorly, but with no pleats marked). With the current understanding of both genera we think at present there is more support for the species to be transferred to Parapanteles, a decision we adopt here, but we note that future research on Microgastrinae may change that.

Type information. Holotype female,

Notes. Transferred to Parapanteles based on the original description mentioning the propodeum with a complete areola (in addition to a partially defined median carina), ovipositor sheaths very short, and T1–T3 shapes and sculptures as illustrated and described in de Saeger (1941: 218–220, fig. 7). The presence of a partial median carina would suggest Cotesia as another possible genus; however, the shapes of T1 (anterior 0.4 more or less parallel-sided, posterior 0.6 strongly narrowing towards posterior margin of tergite) and T2 (subtriangular) precludes the species to be considered in that genus, and Parapanteles is a much better generic placement. Future study of this species may be needed.

Notes. This species is clearly not Apanteles but Pholetesor. Papp had recognized that (based on a label he wrote in 1992 and attached to the specimen, although that combination was never published). The female holotype is in poor condition, missing the metasoma and some legs, but two other females (supposedly paratypes, because they have the same labels) are in relatively good condition. In the same collection there is also a gelatin capsule with some other specimens and cocoons.

Notes. Because of its fully areolated propodeum, if this species indeed is to be placed in Pholetesor, then many Parapanteles that have similar propodeum areola could be considered to have the same generic placement. An alternative would be that Pholetesor masoni should be transferred to Parapanteles. More study on those species (including DNA and biological data) will be needed before a conclusion on the topic can be reached; for the time being we retain this species where it was originally described.

Notes. The female holotype has the ovipositor sheaths ca. half as long as metatibia; the hypopygium has a translucent median fold, where one or two pleats are visible (second pleat not clearly defined); the hind wing vannal lobe is convex and entirely setose; the propodeum is rugose, without areola or median carina; and T1 and T2 are rugose. Most of those features could also be interpreted as being Dolichogenidea, especially the hypopygium pleats, but more study will be required, so the for the time being we prefer to retain this species in Pholetesor.

Geographical distribution. OTL, PAL.
OTL: Malaysia; PAL: China (QH), Japan, Korea.
Notes. We have examined the holotype and several more specimens in the EIHU collection. They look similar to the described species from the New World, based on the sinuate ovipositor tip, shapes of T1 andT2, large metacoxa and relatively high polished area of the lateral face of the scutellum. The only differences we observed were that the Japanese specimens (which are relatively large, at least by Promicrogaster standards) do not have a bilobate glossa and the fore wing lacks an areolet; in the New World, the currently described species all have an elongate and bilobate glossa, and all large species have a small areolet in the fore wing (with only a few small species lacking the areolet in the fore wing). These differences are minor and thus we consider that the best generic placement for this species is in Promicrogaster. The known host data for this species (Sesiidae) also agree with the very few host records known from the New World (

Protapanteles
Ashmead, 1898: 166. Gender: masculine. Type species: (Protapanteles ephyrae Ashmead, 1898) = Apanteles paleacritae Riley, 1881, by subsequent designation (
We record 25 described species, although the limits of this genus are controversial (see discussion above in section Brief diagnosis of all Microgastrinae genera as they are understood in this paper for more details, p 35, 36), and it is difficult to even estimate the potential species richness. As considered in this paper, Protapanteles is essentially Holarctic, occasionally reaching the Oriental region. Many Lepidoptera families have been recorded as hosts but, as the limits of this genus have varied considerably (e.g., Mason, 1981,

Notes. Until the limits of Protapanteles are clearly established (the validity of this genus is questionable), we prefer not to transfer species to other genera. But it is likely that endemus will be placed in Cotesia because it has a propodeum with a transverse carina (in addition to other sculpture), and the shapes of T1 and T2 are closer to typical Cotesia than to Protapanteles. The holotype does not have a specialized seta on the protarsus.

Notes. Until the limits of Protapanteles are clearly established (the validity of this genus is questionable), we prefer not to transfer species to other genera. But it is very likely that mandanis will be placed in Glyptapanteles because it has a propodeum without any strong carinae or sculpture (at most a few short carinae radiating from the nucha), and the shapes of T1 and T2 are closer to typical Glyptapanteles than to Protapanteles. Additionally, the holotype does not have a specialized seta on the protarsus.

Rhygoplitis Mason, 1981: 81. Gender: masculine. Type species: Apanteles (Pseudapanteles) terminalis Gahan, 1912, by original designation.
This genus is distributed in the New World, with four described species but several more remain in collections undescribed, mostly from the Neotropical region. Known hosts are mostly Crambidae, but more studies are needed. There are 294 DNA-barcode compliant sequences of this genus in BOLD, representing 13 BINs.

Notes. We have examined the female type of P. sancti-vincenti and indeed it is the same species as the male type of U. aciculatus. Thus, although the name bearer for this species is the male specimen (following the rules of the ICZN), the female specimen of P. sancti-vincenti should be considered as useful, if not more useful, in any further study of the genus, as most of Microgastrinae taxonomy is based on female specimens.

Sathon Mason, 1981: 78. Gender: masculine. Type species: Apanteles neomexicanus Muesebeck, 1921, by original designation.
This genus is distributed in all biogeographical regions, with 23 described species, although is not highly species rich anywhere. We have seen additional species in collections, but it is difficult to estimate the actual diversity due to some species being similar to other genera (e.g., Glyptapanteles and Lathrapanteles).

Notes. The generic placement of this species has been determined based on information from the original description and low-resolution images of the holotype (taken with a cell phone) which we have examined. The species is clearly not Microgaster, and we are transferring it to Sathon here based on propodeum with a median longitudinal carina, T2 subtriangular or trapezoidal and with lateral margins well defined by sulcus, ovipositor sheaths moderately long (almost half metatibia length), and hypopygium inflexible. The type also has antenna with some central flagellomeres white-yellow, and the body is mostly yellow. This species seems to be related to Microgaster rufotestacea Granger, also transferred in this paper to Sathon. We have seen in collections several undescribed species from Africa which share similar morphological features to these two species, and the best generic placement at present would be in Sathon. However, future study of this group of species may change that, and we suspect that they may represent an undescribed genus.

Below we treat 36 species for most of which we could not examine the types or any other specimens; the original descriptions, if available to us, were insufficient to determine a correct generic placement (in the case of Apanteles sanctivicenti Ashmead, 1900, the type was in poor condition; and in the case of Apanteles anapiedrae Fernandez-Triana, 2014 more studies on the holotype and paratypes are required). Until types of those species can be examined and/or more studies are done, we consider them here as species inquirendae – they can almost certainly be placed with further research. Additionally,

Notes. The original description is not detailed enough to determine the correct generic placement of this species, but it is evident that is not Apanteles, because it mentions a median longitudinal carina on the propodeum. The only known specimen, not even clear if it is a female or male, was deposited in Porter’s personal collection, but we are not aware of the current depository of that collection or if the specimen still exists.

Notes. The original description is not detailed enough (or characters are uninformative) to determine the correct generic placement of this species. It does not belong to Apanteles because a median longitudinal carina on the propodeum is mentioned. Other features such as a pleated hypopygium and relatively long ovipositor sheaths, would suggest Choeras as the likely genus, but the shape of T2 would be very unusual (as compared to other known species in that genus).

OTL: India.
Notes. The original description and illustrations are very deficient and the elements provided therein do not allow to establish with any accuracy to which genus the species belongs, but it is very clear that this species does not belong to Apanteles. The described sculpture of propodeum, unpleated hypopygium, and length of ovipositor sheaths all suggest it could be Parapanteles; but the authors also stated that the antennal flagellomeres are three segmented and that the ovipositor sheaths have no setae, both features not known in any described species of Parapanteles. The authors mentioned that the new taxon is similar to two previously described Microgastrinae species, one of which belongs to Cotesia and the other to Dolichogenidea (two unrelated genera with many different morphological features). The illustrations provided are somewhat inaccurate, e.g., the venation of the hind wing, and the proportions of the metacoxa and metafemur are different in the drawing as compared to what is detailed in the written description. The specimens on which the species description was based (45 female and 20 male specimens) were all reared from Earias vittella (Fabricius, 1794) (Nolidae). That host record cannot be attributed unequivocally to any specific genus of Microgastrinae (four genera: Apanteles, Cotesia, Diolcogaster, and Dolichogenidea all have species previously recorded as parasitizing the genus Earias). All of the above evidence indicates a rather poorly characterized species with insufficient information to establish its generic placement, other than not belonging in Apanteles.

Notes. The original description is not detailed enough to determine the correct generic placement. But it mentions a very short ovipositor (half metacoxal length), which indicates that this species does not belong in Choeras.

Notes. Based on the illustrations from the original description, this species is not likely to be Glyptapanteles (the ovipositor sheaths are relatively long, the propodeum shows a partial areola defined apically, and T2 is relatively transverse, unlike most described Glyptapanteles). We believe this species could be better placed in Dolichogenidea; however, the vannal lobe in the hind wing and the hypopygium are not clearly visible to help determine the correct generic placement.

Notes. The original description is not clear enough to conclude, but it seems that duvauae does not belong to Microgaster, based on details of T1 and T2, body size, wing length, and presumed host. Until further study of the type is done, it is not possible to establish with certainty the generic placement of the species.

Below we list 38 species names that were described in post 1999 publications that did not state the type depository – thus they do not fulfill the requirements of ICZN Article 16.4.2 and must be considered as unavailable names. Additionally, in BOLD (http://v4.boldsystems.org/), there are some Microgastrinae sequences with associated names that have never been described in a publication and do not fulfill most of the requirements of ICZN Article 16 to be considered as available names (most of those cases are in the genus Glyptapanteles). However, we do not list those names here because they have never been published (BOLD, being an online database, is not considered to be a publication, sensu ICZN Article 8 “What constitutes published work”), but we caution against using those names in future publications, as currently they cannot be considered as available.

First of all, we thank Dicky Yu and Kees van Achterberg for their extraordinary work preparing the different versions of Taxapad (2005, 2012, 2016), which were heavily consulted and provided an important foundation for this paper (including the many references, sometimes difficult to find, that Dicky and Kees were able to retrieve and kindly share with the wider scientific community). Even if we did not always agree with some decisions made in Taxapad about generic limits, the importance of that database cannot be overstated, as well as the kindness and collaborative spirit of its authors.
