Study of the tribe Phanerotomini Baker (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in Hormozgan province of Iran with two new record

摘要: A survey in Hormozgan province of Iran yielded four species of braconids belonging to tribe Phanerotomini, viz. Phanerotoma kozlovi (Shestakov), Phanerotoma rufescens (Latreille), Phanerotoma permixtellaeFischer and Phanerotomella rufa (Marshall), of which the first two species are recorded for the first time from Iran. All species are new records from Hormozgan province and Gheshm island of Persian Gulf. A key is presented for the tribe Phanrotomini in Iran. The western Palaearctic species of Phanerotomini were revised by Van Achterberg (1990), including about 47 species in this region. The tribe Phanerotomini being recognized by presence of a weak lateral carina on mesoscutum; a pair of complete transverse sutures on metasoma that is largely yellowish and the prepectal carina attaining level close to middle of pronotal sides or exceptionally reduced (Van Achterberg, 1990). About 9 genera and 262 species of the tribe Phanerotomini have been recorded in the world until now. Phanerotoma is a cosmopolitan genus, characterized by its glabrous eyes, antenna 23-segmented, comparatively stout pterostigma and the distinct sutures on carapace (Shenefelt, 1973; Zettel, 1990; Varshney and Shujauddin, 1999). The genus, Phanerotomella Szépligeti has recently been reported from Iran (Farahani et al., 2011). Only two species of the genus Phanerotomella have been know from Western Palaearctic (Van Achterberg, 1990), while some other species are recorded from the Oriental region (Belokobylskij, 1986; He et al., 2000; Papp, 2003). Phanerotoma malabarica Sheeba and Narendran recorded from India and key of nine species is also …
