Austroencyrtus is a genus of parasitic wasps.
Taxonomic history and synonyms
In 1923, Alexandre Arsène Girault described the species A. annulicornis and circumscribed the new genus Austroencyrtus for it.[2] In 1941, Girault created a new genus, Zamenhofella for another new species, Z. voltai.[3] The genus Zamenhofella was classified as a junior synonym of Austroencyrtus in 1997 by Edward Dahms and Gordon Gordh.[4] Liao Dingxi and Tetsusaburo Tachikawa ({{{2}}}) circumscribed the genus Paracerchysius for their new species P. ceresii in 1984; Tachikawa synonymized this genus with Austroencyrtus the following year[4] following the suggestion of Vladimir A. Trjapitzin (ru).[5]
Species
(As of 2017), the following species are recognized:[1]
- Austroencyrtus annulicornis Girault, 1923
- Austroencyrtus ceresii (Liao & Tachikawa, 1984)
- Austroencyrtus voltai (Girault, 1941)
Former and undescribed species
In 1984, John Noyes (entomologist) and Mohammad Hayat ({{{2}}}) included A. guamensis (Fullaway, 1946), which they had transferred from Cerchysius.[6] Noyes and Hayat also claimed there were at least three additional undescribed species in Austroencyrtus from Papua New Guinea and New Hebrides.[6]
Distribution
Species in this genus are found in Australia[3] and China.[4]
