Two new records from China: Aphaereta (Atopandrium) debilitata Morley and Elasmosoma berolinense Ruthe (Hymenoptera, Braconidae)
Listed in GBIF
The genera Aphaereta Förster, 1863 (tribe Alysiini) and Elasmosoma Ruthe, 1858 (tribe Neoneurini, subfamily Euphorinae) represent two distinct and ecologically specialised lineages within the family Braconidae.
Description
Aphaereta is a cosmopolitan genus with approximately 48 described species worldwide, with four species recorded in China. Elasmosoma is a small genus comprising 13 described species globally, two of which are recorded in China.
Given the limitations of existing faunistic surveys, it is inferred that a substantial number of species within these groups likely remain undiscovered in China, particularly in its north-western regions.This study reports first records of two parasitoid wasp genera Aphaereta and Elasmosoma in the Xinjiang Region of China. Specimens were collected in 2024 using Malaise traps in apple, apricot and pear orchards in the Aksu Prefecture.
