Systematica Study Of Pachyprotasis Hartig From China (Hymenoptera: Tenthredinidae)

The species of genus Pachyprotasis were first reviewed in this paper. The research histories of the genus Pachyprotasis Hartig are briefly reviewed. The morphology and taxonomic characters of the genus are outlined.This paper reports the zoogeography of genus Pachyprotasis that Palearctic and Oriental are the main distributes of Pachyprotasis, only one species extend to Nearctic. Yungui Plateau-Sichuan Basin-Qinling Area are the most crowed areas of Pachyprotasis, which can be deduced that these areas may be distribution and differentiation centre of the genus. Species of Pachyprotasis migrated to three small and secondary centres along East, South and North direction respectively. Northeastern of China-West Siberian-Vladivostok-Sakhalin Japan, Southeastern of Himalayas-Burma-North of India and Qianxiang mountanious region-Xianggan mountanious region-Zhemin hightland are the three small secondary centres. Because of the isolation of Himalayas and severe envirement of Qing-Zhang Plateau, none of Pachyprotasis can migrate along west.The taxonomy of Pachyprotasis from China is also studied in detail in the thesis. The Pachyprotasis species are keyed here into seven groups by body color. Keys to Chinese species of each group are also given. Totally 211 species and subspeices are described, Except for 22 new species published in the period of author's ph.d. education, there are still 100 new species and 1 new subspecies will be published. There 1 species new recored in China. To each species full incitations, morphological description, figures in dorsal and lateral veiw, female and male genitalia figures, diagnostic characters, distribution, specimens examined and type locality are provided. The type specimens deposited in the Insect Collection of Central South University of Forestry and Technology, China.Groups of Pachyprotasis:P. formosana, P. indica, P. pallidistigma, P.flavipes; P. opacifrons, P. melanosoma, P. rapae.New species:P. lushuiensis, P. linzhiensis, P. acutiserrulia, P. sichuanensis, P. bilineata, P. shennongensis, P. paraeleviscutellis, P. paraalpina, P. megalpina, P.lijiangensis, P. ludingensis, P. wuxingyui, P. westsoutha, P. parascalaris, P. shiqui, P. guoi, P. longquani, P. curvimaculata, P. parasanguinipes, P. maculopecta, P. maculolabria, P. parawui, P. flavoventris, P. rufodorsata, P. nigritarsalia, P. fulvoclypeata, P. zhangae, P. rufofemorata, P. dolichotarsis, P. yunnania, P. rufotibialis, P. maculata, P. zhongi, P. albotegulata, P. rufoscutellis, P. nigritibialis, P. maculotegulata, P. longipetiolata, P. liui,P. deqinia,P. parazhengi, P. parashengi, P. paramaesta, P. shimenensis, P. qinghaiensis, P. hunanensis, P. gansuensis, P. pedatoria, P. liupanensis, P. nigrotrochantera, P. leucotrochantera, P. spuralis, P. genata, P. parawangi, P. compresscornis, P. sulcifovea, P. fulvotergitis, P. zhejiangensis, P. paraopacifrons, P. nigrocapita, P. ningxiaensis, P.liangi, P. guizhoui, P. nitiscutellis, P. paralineicoxis, P. xiaoweii, P. albiorbitis, P. pailongensis, P. westnortha, P. coxipunctata, P. coximaculatis, P. mai, P. maculoscutellis, P. omeiensis, P. yushunica, P. qilianica, P. gaoliensis, P. hengshani, P. flatscutellis, P. pseudovariegata, P. motuoensis, P. paraerratica, P. puncturalina, P. pseudoerratica, P.zhamunica, P.parasubcoreaceus, P. buwenjuni, P. melanothecata, P. jiaoheensis, P. prismaticscutellis, P. zejiani, P. megaclypeata, P. paramegaclypeata, P. flavomarginata, P. jilinensis, P. albofemorata, P. daliensis, P. kangdingensis,P. longlineata.New subspecies:P. antennata lui.Speices new recorded in China:P. serii.
