Laena champasaka

description: Laena champasaka n. sp. (Fig. 1)
Holotype (Ψ): S Laos, Champasak Prov., Bolaven Plateau, route no. 23 from Pakse to Paksong, Ban Itou at km 35, 800 m, 10.–18.IV.1999, leg. E. Jendek & O. Šauša, CSBC.
Etymology: Named after the Champasak Province, where the holotype was collected.
Diagnosis: Laena champasaka n. sp., Laena kurbatovi n. sp. from Myanmar and Laena vietnamica Masumoto, 1995 from northern Vietnam share similar body size and shape, bordered lateral margins of the pronotum, and unarmaed legs, but can be recognized by a relatively long, narrow pronotum (compare Figs 1, 8, 15) and having the elytral intervals nearly naked (with only few scattered punctures, not distinct rows of punctures with long setae).
Description: Body length 4.2 mm. Eyes not prominent. Pronotum (Fig. 1) with large punctures, distance between 1–4 diameters, most punctures bearing long erect seta; surface flat, shining; lateral margin distinctly bordered, somewhat crenulate; propleura with similar punctation, setation to disc. Elytra (Fig. 1) with complete rows of punctures without striae, punctures equal in size to pronotal punctures, most bearing long, erect seta; intervals with few scattered fine punctures each bearing erect seta of similar length, anterior of interval 9 with some setiferous pores so that the shoulder looks dentate; all intervals distinctly convex, shining. Femora without distinct tooth or other modification. Sexual dimorphism unknown. Aedeagus unknown, only female available.
Remarks: This is the only as yet known species from southern Laos, whereas the following two new species originate from northeastern Laos. Additionally, the type locality of Laena champsaka n. sp. is quite disjunct from both similar species from Myanmar and northern Vietnam. Therefore I decided to describe this species, although only a single female was available.

Holotype (♂): NE Laos, Hua Phan Prov., Ban Saluei, Mt. Phu Phan, 2000 m, 26.IV.–11.V.2001, leg. J. Bezdek, SMNS.
Paratypes: NE Laos, Hua Phan Prov., Ban Saluei, Mt. Phu Phan, 1500–1700 m, 30.IV.2002, leg. N. Ohbayasi, 1 ex. CKAO. – NE Laos, Hua Phan Prov., Mt. Phu Phan, 1700–1800 m, 28.–30.III.2005, leg. K.

Phu Phan, 1500–2000 m, 26.IV.–11.V.2001, leg. D. Hauck, 1 ex. SMNS. – NE Laos, Hua Phan Prov., Mt. Phu Phan, 28.IV.–6.V.2002, leg. H. Yoshitomi, 1 ex. CKAO.
Etymology: Dedicated to Prof. Dr. Jochen Martens (Mainz) on the occasion of his 65th birthday (not to be mixed with the previously dedicated Laena martensi Kaszab, 1973 from the Nepal Himalayas).
Diagnosis: Laena jocheni n. sp. is quite similar to Laena acco Masumoto, 1996 from northern Vietnam, but can be separated mainly by the shape of the pronotum (lateral margin rounded, widest shortly before the middle, bordered in Laena acco, lateral margin straight, widest near anterior angles, unbordered in Laena jocheni n. sp.) The chaetotaxie of the elytral setiferous pores is also somewhat different (Laena acco: interval 3 basally with 1 pore, interval 7 without pore, interval 9 with 3 pores), however this characters might be variable. The aedeagi can not be compared because Laena acco is known only by the female holotype.
Description: Body length 5.3–7.0 mm. Eyes prominent. Pronotum (Fig. 4) with large punctures, distance between 1–3 diameters, most punctures bearing short adpressed seta; surface flat, shining; lateral margin unbordered; propleura with similar punctation, without setation. Elytra (Fig. 4) with complete rows of punctures without striae, punctures equal in size to pronotal punctures, without seta; intervals without punctures and setae, humeral area of interval 7 with setiferous pore, interval 9 with 4 setiferous pores; all intervals slightly convex, shining. Femora in both sexes without distinct tooth or other modification. Tibiae in males without distinct sexual character. Aedeagus see Fig. 18.
Remarks: The type locality Mt. Phu Phan in Laos is situated about 250 km from Mt. Phang Si Pang (Fan Si Pan) in northern Vietnam, where Laena acco and other congeners have been described.

Holotype (♂): NE Laos, Hua Phan Prov., Ban Saluei, Mt. Phu Phan, 2000 m, 26.IV.–11.V.2001, leg. J. Bezdek, SMNS.
Paratypes: Same data as holotype, 1 ex. SMNS. – NE Laos, Hua Phan Prov., Mt. Phu Phan, 1700–1800 m, 28.–30.III.2005, leg. K. Ando, 8 ex. CKAO. – NE Laos, Hua Phan Prov., Ban Saluei, Mt. Phu Phan, 1500–2000 m, 26.IV.–11.V.2001, leg. D. Hauck, 2 ex. SMNS.
Etymology: Dedicated to Dr. Kiyoshi Ando (Osaka), for fruitful long­term cooperation.
Diagnosis: Can be recognized by the prominent eyes, unbordered lateral margins of the pronotum, distinct, erect setation on elytral punctural rows, armature of all femora with a pair of distinct angles (not with acute spines), and shape of the aedeagus. The hitherto known species either from Thailand or Vietnam all have the femora either with acute spines or without any armature, thus the angled femora of Laena kiyoshii n. sp. are quite unique among all species from this area.
Description: Body length 5.5–8.0 mm. Eyes prominent. Pronotum (Fig. 7) with large punctures, distance between 1–5 diameters, most punctures bearing long erect seta; surface flat, shining; lateral margin unbordered; propleura with similar punctures, shorter setation. Elytra (Fig. 7) with complete rows of punctures without distinct striae, punctures equal in size to pronotal punctures, most bearing long, erect seta; intervals laterally, posteriorly with very few scattered punctures each bearing erect seta of same length, interval 9 with 5–6 setiferous pores; all intervals slightly convex, shining. Femora in both sexes with a pair of identical angles. Tibiae in males without distinct sexual character. Aedeagus see Fig. 21.

Laena gialaica

description: Laena gialaica n. sp. (Fig. 2)
Holotype (Ψ): C Vietnam, Gialai/Kontum Prov., Ngoc Linh Mts., Dak Pek, 1100–2200 m, 22.–30.I.1997, leg. L. & R. Businský, CSBC.
Etymology: Named after the Gialai Province in the central highlands of Vietnam, where the holotype was collected in the Kontum Province boundary region.
Diagnosis: Can be recognized by the disc­like flat pronotum with the somewhat protruding anterior corners and distinctly bordered lateral margins, distinctly shagreened surface on the pronotum and elytra, the naked elytra and unarmed legs. Laena thailandica Kaszab & Chûjô, 1966 from southern Thailand is somewhat similar, but differs in the shape of the pronotum, the larger dorsal punctures, dorsal surface shining (compare Figs 2, 16). Other known species from northern Vietnam show no similarities to Laena gialaica n. sp.
Description: Body length 4.5 mm. Eyes not prominent. Pronotum (Fig. 2) with fine, scattered punctures, distance between 2–6 diameters, a few punctures bearing long seta; surface flat, shagreened; lateral margin distinctly bordered, crenulate; propleura with similar punctation. Elytra (Fig. 2) with complete rows of dense punctures without striae, equal in size to pronotal punctures, without setae; intervals without punctures; all intervals slightly convex, shagreened; anterior part of interval 5 with 5 indistinct setiferous pores, humeral region of interval 7 with 2 indistinct setiferous pores, interval 9 with 5 distinct setiferous pores. Femora without distinct tooth or other modification. Sexual dimorphism unknown. Aedeagus unknown, only female available.
Remarks: This is the only as yet known species from the central highlands, whereas all other Vietnamese species originate from the northern mountains.

Laena moguntia

description: Laena moguntia n. sp. (Figs 9, 22)
Holotype (♂): N Vietnam, Tam Dao, 1.–8.VIII.1998, leg. N. Kanie, CKAO.
Etymology: Dedicated to the city of Mainz, the Roman Moguntium, where the author received his diploma and PhD at the Johannes Gutenberg University under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Jochen Martens.
Diagnosis: Laena moguntia n. sp. and Laena tamdaoensis Masumoto, 1996 from the same locality in Vietnam share the bigger body size, prominent eyes, crenulate lateral pronotal margins and dorsal structure and setation of the elytra, but can be separated by a rougher dorsal punctation with distinct impressions on the pronotum (compare Figs 9, 14), rounder shape of the elytra, the alternate intervals nearly keel­like (Figs 9, 14), the pair of distinct teeth on each femur (only a single tooth in Laena tamdaoensis), and the shape of the aedeagus (Figs 22, 25).
Description: Body length 7.0 mm. Eyes prominent. Pronotum (Fig. 9) with larger punctures, distance between 0.5–1 diameters, most punctures bearing long erect seta; surface with distinct mediobasal impression and a pair of distinct discal impressions, surface dull; lateral margin distinctly bordered, crenulate; propleura with finer, sparser punctation but similar setation. Elytra (Fig. 9) with complete rows of punctures without striae, equal in size to pronotal punctures, most in particular posteriorly bearing long, erect seta; intervals with a row of smaller punctures each bearing erect seta of same length, interval 9 with 6 distinct setiferous pores; intervals distinctly convex, alternate intervals 3, 5 and 7 much higher and nearly keel­like, surface shining. Femora with a pair of distinct identical teeth. Tibiae in males without distinct sexual character. Aedeagus see Fig. 22.

The holotype of this species was not available for study and specimens were not examined. The information for this species is from Navás (1930).
Synopsis. Adults. Head testaceous, with spot on vertex. Compound eyes black. Scapes yellowish-brown. Maxillary palps reddish-brown. Prothorax reddish-brown. Meso- and metathorax dark near bases of wings. Legs yellow. Forewings mostly hyaline with longitudinal dark patches; discoidal cell present; radial sector normal. Material examined. None. The female holotype was not available for study. The misinterpretation of Brazilian biodiversity protection laws by scientific curators poses obstacles to borrowing biological material from other countries.
Remarks. According to Navás (1930) this species is similar to M. santaeritae. The illustration of the forewing provided by Navás suggests that Macrostemum par and Macrostemum santaeritae could be synonymous. Distribution. Brazil (SP).

Host records ex. Choristoneura conflictana: Prentice 1955 (SK, MB); O’Hara 1991 (†SK, MB); † Arnaud 1978 (SK, MB); † Huber et al. 1996 (America north of Mexico). Host records ex. Choristoneura rosaceana: O’Hara 1991 (ON); † Huber et al. 1996 (America north of Mexico).
This species is an uncommonly recorded parasitoid of Choristoneura species. It is similar in size and appearance to A. interrupta except that wing vein CuA 1 is almost always bare dorsally (only rarely with one to several hairs; veins R 1 and R 4+5 haired as in A. interrupta; cf. Figs. 12 and 13). Actia diffidens is common and widespread throughout Canada and the northern and eastern United States, with scattered records throughout the rest of the United States and Mexico (O’Hara 1991). The first instar of A. diffidens was figured by O’Hara (1988) and the adult was redescribed by O’Hara (1991) in his revision of the Nearctic species of Actia. The three larval instars, pupa, and puparium were described and illustrated by Prebble (1935).
Prebble (1935) studied parasitism of the tortricid Acleris variana (Fernald) (as Peronea variana) by A. diffidens in Nova Scotia. He found that adult A. diffidens appeared in June, parasitism of third to fifth instar A. variana occurred from late June to mid July, and fully developed maggots emerged from their hosts and formed puparia from mid July to mid August. Known hosts of A. diffidens are mostly Tortricidae but include a few species of Geometridae, Gracillariidae, Noctuidae, and Pyralidae (Arnaud 1978; O’Hara 1991).

Laboratory experiment ex. Choristoneura fumiferana: Dowden et al. 1948, ex. Archips fumiferana (lab. experiment in northeastern United States); † Arnaud 1978; † Huber et al. 1996. Host records ex.

Compsilura concinnata is a mostly gray tachinid with four conspicuous, black, longitudinal stripes on the thorax and a black­and­gray banded abdomen. Adults are typically 7– 8mm long but some individuals are as small as 4mm. Compsilura concinnata was introduced repeatedly into North America from Europe throughout the 1900s for control of a number of lepidopterous pests, most notably the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar (L.)) and browntail moth (Euproctis chrysorrhoea (L.)). It became established and is presently recorded from most of southern Canada and the northeastern and western United States (O’Hara & Wood 2004). Because C. concinnata is continuing to expand its range, it may well be more widely distributed than current records suggest.
Compsilura concinnata is an extremely polyphagous parasitoid that has been reared from nearly 200 species of Lepidoptera, Hymenoptera (Symphyta), and Coleoptera in North America (Arnaud 1978; Boettner et al. 2000). Females have a long piercing ovipositor that is used to inject thin­shelled eggs into the body of a host. The eggs hatch immediately and the first instars migrate to the midgut, where they develop within the narrow space between the peritrophic membrane and midgut wall (Ichiki & Shima 2003). The species has two or more generations per year, often alternating hosts throughout the season, and can develop gregariously in larger hosts (Culver 1919; Webber & Schaffner 1926; Schaffner & Griswold 1934). The maggot overwinters within the host prepupa or pupa and emerges in the spring to pupariate nearby (Culver 1919; Webber & Schaffner 1926).
Compsilura concinnata has been recorded only recently from C. rosaceana (see host records above) but readily parasitizes C. fumiferana in the laboratory (Dowden et al. 1948) and hence has the potential to be a significant budworm parasitoid. It is the most polyphagous tachinid known and its parasitism of Choristoneura species will likely occur whenever suitable opportunities arise. Parasitism of Choristoneura larvae can occur only during a summer generation of C. concinnata.

Descriptions of adult and immature by Burckhardt (1987).
Distribution. Argentina (Buenos Aires), Uruguay (Montevideo, Salto) (Brèthes 1920; Lizer 1943; Burckhardt 1987; Burckhardt & Basset 2000).
Host plant. Schinus longifolia (Lindl.) Speg. (Anacardiaceae) (reported as Molle de Incienso, Schinus dependens Ortega, S. fasciculata (Griseb.) I.M. Johnst. or S polygama (Cav.) Cabrera). Producing barrel-shaped leaf margin rolls (Brèthes 1920; Lizer 1943; Lizer & Molle 1945; Burckhardt & Basset 2000). The taxonomy of Schinus polygama is confused and the name was used in the literature for several Schinus species. True S. polygama occurs in Chile and Argentina (Mendoza) and is replaced in eastern Argentina and Uruguay by other species such as S. longifolia (C. L. da Silva, pers. comm.). Judging from the illustration the S. dependens cited by Brèthes (1920) is S. longifolia. It is likely that T. schini also uses other Schinus species as host but more field work is required to confirm this.
Comments. The records of Tainarys schini from Uruguay (Rocha) by Burckhardt & Basset (2000) and from Brazil (Santa Catarina) by Burckhardt & Queiroz (2012) are misidentifications of T. didyma.

Comments. Klimaszewski (1997) described † Vicinilura reposta from a single male from Dominican amber. He suggested that Vicinilura resembles Euphyllura Foerster, though not specifying how, and Ligustrinia Loginova in the head morphology. In the description, Klimaszewski (1996) mentions the lack of a meracanthus on the metacoxa. His description and drawing of the forewing suggest that there is no costal break developed. Based on the absence of a meracanthus and a costal break in the forewing, Burckhardt & Ouvrard (2012) synonymised † Vicinilura with Leurolophus and transferred † V. reposta to the latter. The examination of the holotype confirmed that the species belongs to the Rhinocolinae but showed that a costal break is present. For this reason, we transfer the species to Tainarys as † Tainarys reposta (Klimaszewski, 1997), comb. nov.

I.M.Johnst. ex Cabrera, S. polygama (Cav.) Cabrera, S. velutinus (Turcz.) I.M. Johnst. (Anacardiaceae). Forming irregular leaf roll galls or crumpling of young leaves. The reexamination of the plant voucher specimens showed that the record of Schinus fasciculata (Grieseb.) Johnston by Burckhardt & Basset (2000) concerns S. johnstonii (C. L. da Silva, in litt.). Kuzmanich et al. (2015) reported galls on the leaves of S. longifolia (Lindl.) Speg. from Argentina (Buenos Aires) which they attributed to T. sordida. This record is doubtful and may concern another, related species.
Comments. Flores et al. (1989) observed two generations per year in a population on S. polygama in Central Chile. The emergence of adults coincided with the growth of new twigs.

(FIGS 1B 2, 4A–L, 8C; TABLES 1–3)
Zoobank registration: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 61AF1486-7B40-4EC9-A244-6875EAD2C1CE.
Diagnosis: Third maxilliped ischium smooth, lacking vertical sulcus; epibranchial tooth small, pointed; postfrontal crest distinct, completely traversing carapace.
Etymology: Erimetopini is derived from a combination of the English words Congo and West, as a reference to the range of this tribe that includes an area that encompasses the Congo Basin and all of West Africa (Fig. 8C). The gender is masculine.
Type genus: Erimetopus Rathbun, 1894.
G e n e r a i n c l u d e d: E r i m e t o p u s R a t h b u n, 1 8 9 4, Longipotamonautes (Bott, 1955) stat. nov., Nesonautes gen. nov. and Occidensonautes gen. nov.
Distribution: Erimetopini is found in West and Central Africa in the following countries: Erimetopus occurs in the Republic of the Congo and the D.R. Congo (Fig. 9A), Longipotamonautes occurs in Nigeria, Cameroon, the D.R. Congo, the Central African Republic, Gabon and the Republic of the Congo (Fig. 9B), Nesonautes is endemic to São Tomé Island (Fig. 9C) and Occidensonautes is found in West Africa from Senegal to Nigeria (Fig. 9D).
Remarks: Each of the four genera in this tribe has been recovered as a well-supported lineage in the clade for Erimetopini (Fig. 1B 2) and these relationships are also supported by other recent molecular studies of these taxa (Daniels & Klaus, 2018: fig. 1; Wood et al., 2019: fig. 1). The genera can be distinguished from each other by differences in the G1 TA (Fig. 4A–L; see key to genera above).
