Name
Haltichella Spinola, 1811 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Haltichella Spinola, 1811: 148. Type species: Chalcis bispinosa Fabricius; proposed by Masi (1929a)[1] (= Chalcis rufipes Olivier; as proposed by Schmitz (1946)[2]).
- Halticella Stephens, 1829: 36. Unjustified emendation.
- Microchalcis Kieffer, 1905: 255. Type species: Microchalcis quadridens Kieffer, by monotypy (synonymised with Haltichella Spinola by Bouček (1952)[3]).
- Haltichellodes Steffan, 1955: 384. Type species: Haltichella pulla Steffan, (by monotypy, described as subgenus of Haltichella and synonymised Haltichella Spinola by Bouček 1988b[4]).
Diagnosis
This genus comes very near Neohaltichella Narendran in the key to Oriental genera of Chalcididae by Narendran (1989)[5], but differs from Neohaltichella in having: 1) base of T1 with longitudinal carinae (in Neohaltichella T1 without any carinae); 2) T1 relatively larger than that of Neohaltichella; 3) head and mesosoma less stout than that of Neohaltichella, and 4) body not densely pubescent (in Neohaltichella body densely pubescent).
Description
Hind tibia with an additional carina externally, T1 with at least a pair of longitudinal carinae at base; often supplemented by additional striae or carinae which are often anteriorly united by a transverse carina; T1 relatively larger (exceeding mostly half of metasoma or reaching middle of metasoma); apex of scutellum bi-dentate or bi-lobed; pronotum with anterior carina absent or confirmed to lateral thirds; dorsal part of horseshoe-shaped carina indistinct or irregular.
Hosts
Noyes (2011)[6] listed the following families of Lepidoptera (Bucculatricidae; Gelechiidae; Momphidae; Notodontidae; Oecophoridae; Pyralidae; Tortricidae) and Hymenoptera (Braconidae; Ichneumonidae).
Distribution
Cosmopolitan (Bouček 1988b[4]; Noyes 2011[6]).
