Abstract

The Vietnamese species of the genus Canalirogas van Achterberg & Chen, 1996 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Rogadinae) are revised. Ten species are new to science, viz., Canalirogas affinis sp. n., C. cucphuongensis sp. n., C. curvinervis sp. n., C. eurycerus sp. n., C. hoabinhicus sp. n., C. intermedius sp. n., C. parallelus sp. n., C. robberti sp. n., C. vittatus sp. n. and C. vuquangensis sp. n. One species is new for the Vietnamese fauna: Canalirogas spilonotus (Cameron, 1905) and C. balgooyi van Achterberg & Chen, 1996, is synonymized with it (syn. n.); a lectotype is designated for Troporhogas spilonotus. A key to the Vietnamese species of the genus is also provided.

Introduction

Little is known about most subfamilies of Braconidae from Vietnam, and the subfamily Rogadinae is no exception. For 15 years specialists of the Institute of Ecology & Biological Resources (IEBR) at Vietnam Academy of Science & Technology (VAST) and RMNH have been collecting Braconidae from all over Vietnam to get a first understanding of the Vietnamese fauna of Braconidae, partly in collaboration with Dr S.A. Belokobylskij (St. Petersburg, Russia). In this paper, the newly discovered species of the Indo-Australian genus Canalirogas van Achterberg & Chen, 1996 (Rogadinae) from Vietnam are described. It is a rather small genus comprising eleven known species (Yu et al. 2012), with Troporhogas spilonotus Cameron, 1905, from Sri Lanka to be added (Quicke and Shaw 2005). The Vietnamese species were mainly collected using sweep nets and Malaise traps. Specimens of Canalirogas mainly occur in more or less open habitats, viz., secondary forest and gardens, as indicated by the pale colour pattern of the body. As far as known, all species of Rogadinae are endoparasitoids of lepidopteran larvae and the larvae are mummified. The checklist and distribution of twenty Canalirogas species from the Oriental and Australian regions are given and a key to all known Vietnamese species is provided.

Material and methods

Most of the examined specimens (including the types) are deposited in the collections of IEBR and VNMN (Ha Noi, Vietnam) and RMNH (Leiden, The Netherlands). The lectotype of C. spilonotus (Cameron) is housed in BMNH (London, UK). The following abbreviations are used: Od = diameter of posterior ocellus; OOL = oculacellar line; POL = postocellar line; MT: Malaise trap; ‘Rog. + number’: code number indexing for specimens of the Rogadinae in the collection; N: North; S: South, NC: North Central, NE: Northeast, NW: Northwest; NP: National Park; IEBR = Institute of Ecology & Biological Resources (Ha Noi, Vietnam), BMNH = Natural History Museum (London, UK), RMNH = Naturalis Biodiversity Center (Leiden, The Netherlands) and VNMN = Vietnam National Museum of Nature (Ha Noi, Vietnam).

For identification of the subfamily, see van Achterberg (1990, 1993, 1997); for the subdivision of the subfamily, see van Achterberg (1991). For separating Canalirogas from both similar genera Macrostomion Szépligeti and Colastomion Baker and for a key to the genera see Chen and He (1997). For the terminology used in this paper, see van Achterberg (1988). Drawings were made under an Olympus SZ40 binocular microscope by the first author. Photographs with scale lines were made with a Canon® G10 camera attached to a Zeiss® 426126 binocular microscope or with a Canon® G15 camera attached to an Olympus® SZ61 binocular microscope by the first author. Those without scale lines were taken with an Olympus SZX12 motorized stereomicroscope with AnalySIS Extended Focal Imaging Software by the second author. Measurements were taken as indicated by van Achterberg (1988).

Diagnosis

Canalirogas can be separated from related genera by the combination of (1) hypopygium of female distinctly convex ventrally and strongly enlarged (Figs 15, 21, 30, 35, 41, 47, 56, 64, 69, 78); (2) ovipositor distinctly curved downwards (Figs 30, 41, 64, 78); (3) ovipositor sheath widened (Figs 15, 25, 30, 47, 56, 64, 78); (4) second metasomal tergite without distinct medio-basal area (Figs 3–4, 6–11, 18, 37, 54, 62, 76); (5) anterior half of fourth-fifth tergites usually (partly) obliquely striate; (6) tarsal claws simple. The vertex is smooth, the prepectal carina complete, the tarsal claws simple, the hind tibia with apical comb on inner side and the dorsope is present.

Etymology

From ‘inter’ (Latin for ‘between’), because this species is intermediate between C. parallelus sp. n. and C. spilonotus (Cameron), but differs from these species by having larger occelli (diameter of posterior ocellus 3.0 times as long as POL and 1.5 times as long as OOL). This species is close to C. spilonotus, but differs by having the mesopleuron antero-dorsally and below the precoxal sulcus pale yellow (dark brown antero-dorsally and more or less brownish below precoxal sulcus in C. spilonotus), the ovipositor sheath entirely brown (only apically dark brown) and the third and fourth metasomal tergites with nearly transverse striation apically (absent).

Pale yellow or ivory; antennal segments pale brown with yellow transverse bands (Fig. 58); stemmaticum, propleuron partly, mesopleuron antero-dorsally, mesoscutum laterally, metanotum partly laterally, propodeum (except areola, narrowly posteriorly and partly latero-posteriorly), inner and outer side of hind coxa, metasomal tergites 1-5 basally and medio-posteriorly (but of third-fifth tergites partly brown antero-laterally), tergite 6 entirely dorsally (Fig. 57) and apex of ovipositor sheath narrowly dark brown (Fig. 64); telotarsi brown; wings largely slightly infuscate; veins (but of apical third of wing unpigmented) and pterostigma medially dark brown; remainder of pterostigma and parastigma yellow.

Male

Unknown.

Variation

Antennal segments of female 44(1), 48(1), 50(1) or 51(1); first tergite 1.2–1.5 times as long as apical width (Fig. 57); medial length of second tergite 1.5–1.6 times as long as third tergite medially; body length 6.2–7.1 mm; fore wing length 4.6–5.5 mm.

Notes

This conspicuous species has the eyes in dorsal view 6–8 times longer than temple (Fig. 61) and in lateral view width of eye about 3.8 times temple (15:4; Fig. 59); ovipositor stout (Fig. 64). The lectotype of C. spilonotus (Cameron) designated in this paper falls within the (rather wide) variation limits of C. balgooyi and is, therefore, considered to be a senior synonym of the latter.
