Buenoa amnigenoidea

description: Buenoa amnigenoidea Nieser
Fig. 60–62
Buenoa amnigenoidea Nieser, 1970: 80 [Type localities: Saramacca, Coesewijneproject, 8 km W of Saramacca-brug; Suriname, road to Afobaka, at high voltage mast; Antonio 99 (?); Record: Brazil; Types in Manaus (INPA?) and Nieser N. Collection]; Moreira et al. (2011): 53 [Check-list of Brazil].
Comments. This species is very similar to B. amnigenus. Both have the synthlipsis conspicuously narrow, about one-tenth of the vertex width, and the rostral prong originating laterally on the proximal region of the third rostral segment with its apex rounded (Fig. 60, 66).
These species can be differentiated primarily by the yellow color, stained with light brown, along the body of B. amnigenoidea. The labrum of this species has tufts of setae on its ventral surface; B. amnigenus has tufts of setae on the sides of the labrum. The fore trochanter of B. amnigenoidea has a projection on its inner surface (Fig. 61); the fore femur is stronger and with a posterior margin more sinuous than in B. amnigenus, besides the distinct chaetotaxia. Stridulatory teeth of the fore tibia in B. amnigenus are of similar size (Fig. 67), whereas in B. amnigenoidea apical teeth are larger than basal one (Fig. 61).

Leningrad (?)]; Heckman (2011): 484 [Key to Buenoa of South America]; Moreira et al. (2011): 53 [Check-list of Brazil].
Comments. Buenoa amnigenopsis resembles B. amnigenus in general appearance and has the major characteristics of the salutis -group: the synthlipsis very narrow and the stridulatory area of the fore femur absent. The rostral prong is similar in both species. The distinction is the notch on fore femur of B. amnigenopsis (Fig. 64); the notch is absent on the femur of B. amnigenus (Fig. 67).

Oocamenta Péringuey, 1904: 105; Machatschke 1959: 743.
Type species: Camenta rufiventris Burmeister, 1855 (by monotypy).
Remarks: Péringuey (1904) established the subgenus Pseudocamenta Péringuey (1904: 106) within the newly erected genus Oocamenta. Since Pseudocamenta included one of the two originally included species of Oocamenta (Oocamenta [Pseudocamenta] transvaalia Péringuey, 1904), the type species for the nominotypical subgenus Oocamenta (Oocamenta) automatically becomes Camenta rufiventris Burmeister, 1855 because it is the only species originally placed in this subgenus. Consequently, it is also the type species of the genus Oocamenta (see ICZN 1999, Art. 68.3.1).

Originally included nominal species: Allokotarsa clypeata Péringuey, 1904 and Allokotarsa rotundicollis Péringuey, 1904.
Type material examined (Allokotarsa clypeata Péringuey, 1904): Lectotype (here designated): ɗ “Ovampo L. Eriksson. 1890-1891. / Allokotarsa clypeata Type Py / Type SAM / Ent 3/33” (SAMC).

Remarks: Although, Allokotarsa rotundicollis was first listed by Péringuey (1904: 37) I decided that it is more appropriate to designate the second species, Allokotarsa clypeata, as the type since it has more representative characters for the genus. For example, A. clypeata does not have the obsolete posterior angles of pronotum which is an autapomorphy of A. rotundicollis.

Type species (here designated): Omaloplia (Emphania) conspurcata Blanchard, 1850.
First subsequently included nominal species: The name Comaserica was made available (ICZN 1999, Art. 12.1) by Brenske (1897) in the key to the genera, without any nominal species included. The following species were first subsequently included in the genus by Brenske (1899): Comaserica bouvieri Brenske, 1899; Omaloplia (Emphania) conspurcata Blanchard, 1850; Serica crinita Burmeister, 1855; Comaserica dapsilis Brenske, 1899; Comaserica decens Brenske, 1899; Omaloplia (Emphania) fuliginosa Blanchard, 1850; Homaloplia granulipennis Fairmaire, 1897; Omaloplia (Emphania) irrorata Blanchard, 1850; Homaloplia picticollis Fairmaire, 1897; Omaloplia (Emphania) setosicollis Blanchard, 1850; Omaloplia (Emphania) setosipennis Blanchard, 1850; Comaserica simillima Brenske, 1899; and Serica tesselata Klug, 1832.
Type material examined (Comaserica conspurcata [Blanchard, 1850]): Lectotype (here designated): ɗ „Museum Paris Madagascar Deyrolle 1854 / 40 54 / O. conspurcata Cat. Mus.

Euronycha Péringuey, 1904: 30; Arrow 1917: 61; Machatschke 1959: 744.

Pretoria / National Coll. of Insects Pretoria, S. Afr." (SANC).
Remarks: Euronycha Péringuey, 1904 was synonymized with Triodonta Mulsant, 1842 by Arrow (1917). Since Triodonta Mulsant is a junior homonym of Triodonta Bory de Saint Vincent, 1827, it is invalid and a replacement name was proposed: Triodontella Reitter, 1919. However, Arrow’s act has of synonymizing Euronycha with Triodonta has been overlooked by all later authors, particularly those working on Mediterranean fauna where Triodontella is currently in use (e.g. Branco & Ruiz 2003). The first step to determine if Triodontella and Euronycha were justifiably synonymized is to select a type species for Euronycha. Euronycha rhodesiana have been selected as type species of Euronycha because it seems to be the most common taxon in South African collections.

Hyboserica Péringuey, 1904: 27; Machatschke 1959: 744.
Material examined (Hyboserica caffra [Fåhraeus, 1857]): 1 ɗ “ Natal, D’urban / Calloserica caffra Fhs. / Triodonta caffra Fhs. comp. cum type / SAM-Col A035/35” (SAMC).
Remarks. I have examined the type of Serica globulifornis Brenske, 1901, which is a member of the Maladera lugubris group (Ahrens 2004) and truly a representative of the Indian fauna. The type locality " Cap b. spec.[South Africa]" (specimen labeled: "Cap b. spec. Coll. Chevr. / Coll. Brenske / Serica globuliformis Typ. Brsk. " [ZMHB]) is erroneous perhaps due to mislabeling. Thus H. caffra is chosen as the type of the genus.

Type species (here designated): Pleophylla brenskei Brancsik, 1892.
Originally included nominal species: Pleophylla unicolor Vollenhoven, 1869 and Pleophylla brenskei Brancsik, 1892.
Type material examined (Pleophylla brenskei Brancsik, 1892): Syntype: 1 Ψ "coll. Brenske / Type / cotyp von Branscik erhalten / Pleophylla Brenskei m. / Nossibe" (ZMHB).
Remarks. Pleophylla brenskei was chosen as type species of Phylloserica since Brenske examined type material of the species (a syntype is in the Brenske collection at the ZMHB). The original description of Pleophylla brenskei was based on four specimens. Since the syntype in the collection of Brenske is a female (and not a male as stated by Brenske [1900]) I will refrain from designating a lectotype until the rest of the type series is examined.
Even though Brenske (1899) listed " Candezei " as one of the species in Phylloserica, it was only in 1900 that he made the name " Phylloserica candezei " available.

Remarks: The genus presently includes about 34 species but probably many other species so far assigned to Trochalus Laporte, 1832 should be transferred to Pseudotrochalus. In order to accommodate Pseudotrochalus in the current framework of existing genera in the tribe (principally based also on the works of Brenske and Moser) I selected the type specimen based on taxa present in the ZMHB. Of these taxa, the types of T. sulcipennis were more common and better preserved.

Acrocerilia tricolor Quicke & Ingram, 1993: 302, 306.
Diagnosis.
Tricolourous, orange-red, black, and ivory white. Mesoscutum orange-red without dark marks as in T. griffini Quicke, sp. nov. but differs in the black central area of T 2 being far larger and widening posteriorly. Basal lobe of claw largely rounded with small distal tooth (Fig. 28 D). In addition, see Quicke and Ingram (1993: 304, 306).
Notes.
After re-examining images of the male holotype Acrocerilia tricolor, we found that it is not conspecific with the type species of Acrocerilia, viz. A. pachynervis van Achterberg, 1989, also based on a male specimen, and we hereby formally transfer it to Trigastrotheca. The species name tricolor is preoccupied in the genus Trigastrotheca (T. tricolor Quicke & Ingram, 1993). Trigastrotheca tricolor is therefore a secondary homonym. Here we propose T. acroceropsis Ranjith & Quicke as a replacement name.

Notes.
The holotype female from South Africa (Cape Colony) is in the MFN but is too badly eaten by dermestids (Shenefelt 1978) to permit species-level identification, and it is therefore not included in the key. However, the original description is fairly complete for the time and includes the following diagnosis for distinguishing it from T. trilobata: “ May be known from the type species of the genus, T. trilobata, Cam. (Ann. S. Afr. Mus., V, 32), by the shorter ovipositor (4 mm with a body length of 5 mm in the latter), by the middle lobe on the apex of the abdomen being hardly developed and by the 1 st abscissa of the radius being longer, not shorter, than the 2 nd. ”

Diagnosis.
Similar to T. aethiopica sp. nov. and T. romani in being ochraceous except for black stemmaticum. Differs from T. aethiopica sp. nov. in having the pterostigma largely black, especially on the anterior 1 / 2, and from T. romani in that it has the frons anterolateral to median ocellus with distinct weakly diverging striae which is similar to the condition found in the male of T. serrata (van Achterberg & Sigwalt, 1987).
Notes.
The type species of Trigastrotheca is T. trilobata Cameron, 1906 from South Africa or Zimbabwe [Rhodesia] (Cameron 1906). The type label in Cameron’s handwriting states “ Cape ” (Fig. 32 A), but on the underside of the card that the specimen is micro-pinned to with a minute pin “ Rhodesia ” and an illegible word is written (see http://www.waspweb.org/ichneumonoidea/Braconidae/Braconinae/Trigastrotheca/Trigastrotheca_trilobata.htm).
