Journal of Hymenoptera Research 56: 225-239. https://doi. org/10.3897/jhr.56.10214 Abstract All holotypes of Platygastroidea housed in the Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources were photographed and these images are now publicly available online, as are images of most species represented in this collection by paratypes alone. Following examination of these specimens, the following taxonomic acts are made: Dyscritobaeus microocellus (Kozlov & Lé), comb. n. is transferred from Gryon Haliday; Habroteleia dagavia (Kozlov & Lé), comb. n. is transferred from Triteleia Kieffer; Paridris spinosa Rajmohana, syn. n. and Luridris stigmalshortis Kozlov & Lé, syn. n. are treated as junior synonyms of Luridris genaris Kozlov & Lé; Paridris striaefrons Kozlov & Lé, syn. n. and Paridris circus Kozlov & Lé, syn. n. are treated as a junior synonyms of Paridris coorgensis Sharma; Probaryconus maridris Kozlov & Lé, syn. n. and Probaryconus varinus Kozlov & Lé, syn. n. are treated as junior synonyms of Probaryconus cauverycus Saraswat. A key to the most common species of Puridris in SE Asia is provided. Keywords Platygastroidea, taxonomy Copyright Elijah J. Talamas, Hong-Thai Pham.

Talamas & Hong-Thai Pham / Journal of Hymenoptera Research 56: 225-239 (2017) Introduction The Institute of Ecology and Biological Resources (IEBR), a subdivision of the Viet- nam Academy of Science and Technology, houses the holotypes of 178 species de- scribed by Lé Xuan Hué and the late Mikhail Kozlov (formerly of the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Science (ZIN)). Extended-focus images of these holotypes are here made available online to augment the descriptions of Lé and Kozlov and Lé and to establish proper name usage for the Southeast Asian fauna of Platygas- troidea. Numerous species have paratypes deposited in IEBR with holotypes deposited in ZIN and we provide images of paratypes for all but three of these species. In some cases, particularly for very small specimens, the morphology is difficult to in- terpret due to limitations of the photography system available and the condition of the specimens. Some specimens may eventually require cleaning and photography with more powerful equipment to evaluate all of the characters necessary for species-level identification. We here make a small number of taxonomic changes for taxa with which we are sufficiently familiar. There are likely to be additional rearrangements to the classifica- tion for other species when they are carefully analyzed. Materials and methods The numbers prefixed with “IEBR ” or “USNMENT” are unique identifiers for the individual specimens (note the blank space after IEBR). The prefix “IEBR” indicates that the specimen is a holotype, and for these specimens no physical CUID labels were added to the specimens. USNMENT CUID labels were attached to photographed, non-holotype specimens. The data associated with these specimens is deposited in the Hymenoptera Online Database and may be accessed at the following link: purl-oclc. org/NET/hymenoptera/hol, and entering the identifier in the form. Persistent URIs for each taxonomic concept were minted by xBio:D in accordance with best practices recommended by Hagedorn et al (2013). ‘The full list of platygastroid specimens de- posited in IEBR and their CUIDs is presented in Suppl. material 1. Photographs of IEBR specimens were captured with a Canon Rebel 600 cam- era connected to a Wild M10 microscope with a Fotoprojektiv 2.5x/SLR 10446175 adapter and stacked with the program Zerene Stacker. A scale bar was calibrated for images taken at the maximum magnification of the microscope. Images taken at lower magnifications do not have scale bars. Specimens from the C. A. Triplehorn Collection (OSUC) and the National Insect Collection (USNM) were photographed with a Z16 Leica®*™ lens with a JVC KY-F75U digital camera using Cartograph®™ or Automon- tage®™ software and stacked with Combine ZP. In some cases, multiple extended-focus images were stitched together in Photoshop to produce larger images at high resolution and magnification. Full resolution images are deposited in the image database at The Ohio State University (specimage.osu.edu) and can be retrieved by either the taxon name or the specimen CUIDs provided in Suppl. material 1. An online photographic catalog of Platygastroidea (Hymenoptera)... 227 Taxonomy Dyscritobaeus microocellus Kozlov & Lé, comb. n. http://bioguid.osu.edu/xbiod_concepts/179794 Figures 1—4 Gryon microocellus Kozlov & Lé, 1996: 9 (original description); Lé, 2000: 96, 124 (description, keyed, type information).

Comments. We transfer this species from Gryon to Dyscritobaeus based on the lo- cation of the lateral ocelli distant from the inner orbits of the eyes, the general shape of the head, the presence of malar striae, and a well-developed occipital carina that is dor- sally continuous. The generic concept of Dyscritobaeus somewhat recently was modi- fied by Mineo et al. (2011), who subdivided it into multiple genera based on characters that will likely require reevaluation in the context of the world fauna. However, these issues do not affect our generic transfer of D. microocellus, because this species matches their constricted concept of the Dyscritobaeus. Habroteleia dagavia Kozlov & Lé, comb. n. http://bioguid.osu.edu/xbiod_concepts/28154 Figures 5—10 Triteleia dagavia Kozlov & Lé, 1995: 441, 445 (original description, keyed); Kozlov & Lé, 1996: 9, 14 (described as new, keyed); Lé, 2000: 76, 341 (description, keyed, type information).

Lé, IEBR 0143 (deposited in IEBR). Comments. The fore wing is missing from the holotype of H. dagavia, precluding examination of its venation, an important character in the key of Chen et al. (2013). We nonetheless are confident in placing this species in Habroteleia Kieffer based on the medially spinose metascutellum and its similarity to H. bharatensis Saraswat, with which it may be conspecific. When images of H. dagavia were compared to the holo- type of H. bharatensis, the first author found only a slight variation in the size of the median projection on the propodeum and difference in setation to separate the species. The lack of setation in the holotype of H. dagavia may be a preservation artifact, but we consider it prudent not to make a formal decision about the species-level fate of H. dagavia without examining more specimens. 228 Elijah J.

Paridris genaris is a distinctive species. The combination of the setose metascutellum (Figure 27), posteriorly directed spine on the horn of T1 (Figure 26), and T6 with smoothly convex lateral margins (Figure 29) separate it from Paridris bispores and P. coorgensis and are the basis for treating P spinosus as a junior synonym. 234 Elijah J.

Scale bars in millimeters. Comments on Paridris in SE Asia Outside of the xephta group, the three most common species of Paridris in Southeast Asian are P bispores, P coorgensis, and P genaris and each of these has been described multiple times, sometimes by the same author. Taxonomy of Paridris in Southeast Asia has generally been a confused affair primarily because the genus was not well-delimited until relatively recently (Talamas et al. 2013) and primary types were not accessible.

Paridris stigmalshortis (=Paridris genaris), female holotype (IEBR 0107). 35 head and mesosoma, dorsal view 36 head and mesosoma, lateral view 37 metasoma, dorsal view. Scale bars in mil- limeters. Multiple species of Paridris Kieffer have now been transferred to other genera (Talamas et al. 2017) and we suspect that Paridris dunensis Mukerjee is a junior synonym of Pro- baryconus cauverycus based on Mukerjee’s 1994 description, but prefer not to make the generic transfer until the specimen is examined. To clarify the characters that separate P bispores, P. coorgensis, and P genaris, we provide the following key to females: 1 Metascutellum without setae and with posterior margin strongly emarginate (Pisure 2); VGsdistinctly constricted-apically (Bicurewl 2 )'e. 8 ae. cdeaseedeeut ia Settee cual oA DUD See Onda duct ee ha derad dee Paridris coorgensis Sharma = Metascutellum setose and with posterior margin straight; [6 without distinct constrictionapically Chic tirer2 9.) hate o tse ues staat eee eiet ates teaches 2 2 Horn of T1 with posteriorly directed spine (Figure 26)... 0. esceeeeeeseeeeees Petal Sede ek ae eae ees Se Be Me, anaes Paridris genaris Kozlov & Lé = Formbotyelt withoutspinen(asim Fieures: Wig E42 ie tls seu veeemeakaaulde.

THAILAND: 1 female, USNMENT01223894. Comments. Paridris cauverycus is known to us from multiple localities in South- east Asia and exhibits a moderate degree of variability in color of the mesosoma, ranging from brown to orange. Sexual dimorphism occurs in the coloration of the metasoma, with tergites 1-3 pale in males and brown in females. Apart from these variations in color, we found no characters to separate Probaryconus cauverycus, P. maridris, and P. varinus.
