Descriptions of Three New Species of the Genus Acerataspis Uchida, 1934 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Metopiinae), with an Illustrated Identification Key to Extant Species

SIMPLE SUMMARY: Acerataspis Uchida, 1934 is a genus of ichneumonid parasitoids distributed in the Oriental and Palaearctic regions. To date, only seven extant species have been recorded. The host of the genus is still not known. This paper reviews all valid extant species of the genus based on both...

description SIMPLE SUMMARY: Acerataspis Uchida, 1934 is a genus of ichneumonid parasitoids distributed in the Oriental and Palaearctic regions. To date, only seven extant species have been recorded. The host of the genus is still not known. This paper reviews all valid extant species of the genus based on both morphological and molecular analyses and describes three new species. ABSTRACT: The Asian genus Acerataspis Uchida, 1934 is reviewed based on both morphology and DNA barcodes. Ten species are recognized in total, of which three species from Yunnan Province of China are described as new: Acerataspis maliae sp. nov., A. seperata sp. nov. and A. similis sp. nov. The male of A. fukienensis Chao, 1957 is described and illustrated for the first time. The genus is recorded from Thailand and Southeast Asia for the first time. An illustrated key to all known extant species is provided. With the supplement of DNA barcodes, a few diagnostic morphological characters are found useful in species identification.
