Name

Hoplocryptus Thomson, 1873 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile

• Hoplocryptus Thomson, 1873: 508.

Type-species

Hoplocryptusbinotatulus Thomson, 1873 (= murarius Börner, 1782).

Diagnosis

Ventral margin of clypeus with a more or less distinct tooth or tubercle (rarely somewhat paired). Mesoscutum with distinct punctation on a polished or subpolished background. Fore wing with sides of areolet subparallel or moderately narrowed anteriorly. Often both transverse carinae of propodeum entirely developed. Dorsolateral carina of first metasomal tergite usually distinct basal of spiracle (best seen in dorsal or dorsolateral view), its postpetiole rather weakly convex dorsally and not or only rather weakly wider than petiole. Second tergite with distinct and usually moderate sized punctures. Ovipositor compressed and its tip with rather regular and subvertical ridges on lower valve.

Remarks

This genus morphologically resembles Aritranis in having sides of areolet parallel or moderately convergent anteriorly, 2m-cu straight or more or less sinuate, hind wing with M+Cu moderately to strongly arched, lateral longitudinal carina of propodeum absent, first metasomal segment without a lateral tooth basally and with its spiracle at or not very far behind its mid-length; but it can be distinguished from the latter by its dorsolateral carina of first metasomal tergite usually distinct basad of spiracle (best seen in dorsal or dorsolateral view), its postpetiole rather weakly convex dorsally, ventral margin of clypeus with a more or less distinct tooth (rarely paired teeth). Hosts are aculeate Hymenoptera. Aritranis: dorsolateral carina of first gastral tergite absent (or more rarely indistinct) basal of spiracle, postpetiole rather distinctly convex dorsally, ventral margin of clypeus without a tooth, except in the Aritranisnigripes group. Hosts are Lepidoptera and Coleoptera as far as known. Key to the species of Hoplocryptus known from the Oriental and Eastern Palaearctic Regions (Female only) This key does not include H.egregius (Kokujev, 1909) as its female is unknown.
