Ordo: Hymenoptera
Familia: Braconidae
Genus: Lytopylus
Name
Lytopylus ebulus (Nixon) stat. n. – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Agathis ebula Nixon 1950[1]. [BMNH, type examined]
- Lytopylus romani by Sharkey (1998)[2]. [Previous synonym]
- Agathis burmensis Bhat & Gupta, 1977. syn. n.
Diagnosis
The orange pro- and mesothorax combined with milky white mid and hind basitarsomeres distinguish this species.
Notes
Here we synonymize Agathis burmensis Bhat and Gupta (1997). It differs from the holotype of Lytopylus ebulus only in minor color variation and the degree of sculpture on metasomal tergum three, which is somewhat reduced in Agathis burmensis.
Distribution
Examined specimens are from India, Taiwan, Burma, and Thailand. The pale specimen figured in van Achterberg and Long (2010, Fig. 217) identified as Lytopylus romani appears to be a representative of this species. Distribution map of the Thai specimens which are deposited in QSBG can be found on http://purl.org/thaimaps/ebulus.
