A New Species

A new species of megalyrid wasp, Dinapsis centralis Shaw and van Noort sp. nov. from the Central African Republic is described and illustrated. The new species is contrasted with other described species of Dinapsis. An online key to Dinapsis species is available at: http://www.waspweb.org/Megalyroidea/Megalyridae/Keys/index.htm. This represents the first record of any megalyrid species from the Central African Republic and the northernmost confirmed distribution of Dinapsis in the Afrotropical region. The taxonomic history, distribution, biogeography and biology of Megalyridae are discussed.

A New Species

The genus Kimulodes was described by Tjeder and Hansson (1992) to accommodate two species, Kimulodes sinuatus originally described as Helicomitus sinuatus by Kimmins (1949) and a new species they named K. angulicornis. Within the tribe Ascalaphini, this genus is characterized by the hairless genae, the absence of a tuft of hairs at the base of the forewing in males, in contrast to the African species of Ascalaphus, and the antennae of males being sinuate or sharply arched with stout tufts of hairs on the basal flagellomeres. The genus Kimulodes was known from Central and East Africa, but remained unrecorded from West Africa. The material collected by a colleague, Jean-Michel Maldès (CIRAD), during a prospecting mission in Togo in 1990 included a male of an undescribed species of Kimulodes, which is described below. Furthermore, examination of the collection of the Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle in Paris, yielded a male and a female of K. angulicornis from an unrecorded locality in the Central African Republic.

A New Species

The isometopine plant bug genus Isometopus Fieber currently comprises 69 nominal species (Schuh, 1995). The majority of the members are known to occur in the Old World tropics, subtropics and warm temperate zone; 26 species have been reported from the Afrotropical Region, and Asian faunas documented mainly by Lin (2004) [Taiwan], Ren (1991) and Ren & Yang (1988) [China], Yasunaga (2001, 2005) [Japan], and Yasunaga & Duwal (2006) [Nepal]. However, there is no reliable account of the Isometopinae from Thailand, or Indochina.

Plokiophiloides bannaensissp. nov., is described from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province, representing the first record of the family Plokiophilidae from China. The new species also represents the first record of the genus Plokiophiloides in the Oriental Region, a second zoogeographical region besides the Afrotropical Region. Photographs of the live individuals inhabiting a spider web within natural habitats, male and female habitus, wings of adult, male genitalic structures, female abdomen structures and scanning electron micrographs of forewing, head, thorax and legs are provided. A key to all known species of Plokiophiloides is presented, with a distribution map.

OdontosphaeropyxmatasiQuicke & Butcher,sp. n.from Thailand is described and illustrated. The new species represents the first known record ofOdontosphaeropyxfrom outside of the Afrotropical Region. A key is provided to separate it from the apparently closely relatedO.flavifasciatusZettel, 1990, with which it shares almost identical colouration, very different from the other five known species.
