A Taxonomic Study On Tribe Doryctini (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Doryctinae) From China

This thesis focuses on the taxonomic research of the tribe Doryctini (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Doryctinae) from China, and includes the general part and systematic part.In the general part, the research history, taxonomic system, biology and distribution studies about Doryctini are briefly introduced.In the systematic part, eighty-four species belonging to eleven genera are described in detail based on the classification systems of Belokobylskij et al. (2004) and Yu et al. (2005). Eleven genera are distributed in China as follows: Doryctes Haliday, 1836; Halycaea Cameron, 1903; Hypodoryctes Kokoujev, 1900: Ipodoryctes Granger, 1949; Mimipodoryctes Belokobylskij, 2000; Rhaconotus Ruthe, 1854; Ontsira Cameron, 1900; Platyspathius Viereck, 1911; Sinaodoryctes Chen et Shi, 2004; Eodendrus Belokobylskij, 1998; and Sonanus Belokobylskij et Konishi, 2001. One new species and ten newly recorded species are described in this paper.New species: Hypodoryctes chinensis sp. nov..Newly recroded species in China: Doryctes gyljak Shestakov, 1940; Doryctes petiolatus Shestakov, 1940; Doryctes striatellus (Nees, 1834); Doryctes tristriatus Kieffer, 1921; Doryctes undulatus (Ratzeburg, 1852); Ipodoryctes annulicornis Belokobylskij, 1994; Ipodoryctes longi Belokobylskij, 1994; Ipodoryctes rugosiscutum Belokobylskij, 1994; Ipodoryctes tamdaoensis Belokobylskij, 1994 and Ontsira parva (Muesebeck, 1941).Each species is described in detail with information on distribution, host species and the relevant literatutre provided. Keys to species of the genera and species from China are given. 162 pictures of 30 species are provided.
