Male and female specimens assigned to each other by morphology. More than 100 years after the original description of A. fumipennis, Dessart (1963 b) examined Thomson’s type specimens and designated a female lectotype, which was until then designated as a syntype. The lectotype is slide mounted and identified as NHRS -HEVA 000008194 (Dessart prep. nr. 6212 / 124), deposited in the collection of the NHRS (Fig. 32). In addition to the lectotype designation of A. fumipennis, Dessart (1963 b, p. 403, 415) designated Thomson’s original male A. fumipennis syntype as the new allotype of A. fasciipennis .</p><p>Unfortunately, the female lectotype lacks distinct morphological characters with clear diagnostic value that would allow reliable delimitation from other species in the A. fumipennis species group, or enable the assignment of other specimens to A. fumipennis as the nominal species. This limitation might be overcome in the future through molecular analysis of the lectotype. We refrained from an attempt because of the age, small size and delicateness of the lectotype specimen and the lab protocols not yet set up for these cases. Morphology of the Waterston’s evaporatorium (WE) might also allow assigning females and males to each other (see Ulmer et al. 2021), but dissection of the WE results in (partial) damage of the (type) specimens and the species diagnostic value of the character is not fully explored and established, in contrast to the male genitalia. Ergo, we also refrained from an attempt to dissect the A. fumipennis type (as well as our holo- or paratypes or the types of synonyms, see below).</p><p>Dessart (1963 b) described a male allotype from Belgium (Dessart prep. no. 6302 / 151), whose genitalia he dissected and illustrated (p. 394, figs 12, 13). Unfortunately, we were unable to locate the specimen or the dissected genitalia in the RBINS, RMCA, or NHRS collections (Gerard Y., Hanot S., Vårdal H., pers. comm.). It is questionable whether the designated allotype from Belgium is even conspecific with the lectotype from Sweden, given our results that there are multiple morphologically similar species of the A. fumipennis species group distributed across Europe.</p><p>The illustration of the genitalia of the male allotype by Dessart is not sufficient to clarify the identity of A. fumipennis, in comparison with the newly described species. The illustrated genitalia of the A. fumipennis allotype show superficial resemblance to those of A. digitangulus sp. nov. and A. hamatogonus sp. nov. in terms of the large and distinct gonossiculus and the thin finger-shaped harpes. However, the distinct rectangular median extension in A. digitangulus is not present in Dessart’s drawing of A. fumipennis . The gonossiculus of A. hamatogonus lacks the several distinct digital teeth that are clearly visible in the illustration of A. fumipennis . In addition, the illustration of A. fumipennis does not show any basomedian spine or small spine-like structure, as found in A. hamatogonus .</p><p>The complementary characters we use in the descriptions of females do not allow inferences on the status of the lectotype female. In summary, as long as the male allotype, particularly the associated genitalia, remains untraceable and a thorough diagnostic assessment of the female lectotype is not possible, we consider A. fumipennis a species inquirenda.</p><p>All geographic records of A. fumipennis published after Dessart (1963 b), e. g., from Finland (Hellén 1966), Czech Republic (Zeman and Vaněk 2001), Germany (Dessart 2001), Britain and Ireland (Broad and Livermore 2014), Romania (Teodorescu 2020), have to be treated with caution, as they may belong to the A. fumipennis species group but cannot be reliably assigned to species level.</p><p>All synonymized species of A. fumipennis are considered to belong to the A. fumipennis species group, as Dessart was aware of the conspicuous diagnostic posterior mesosomal comb and synonymized (or confirmed synonymization) all of them (see below). A further taxonomic assessment of the synonymized species of A. fumipennis is currently not feasible, as they are known only from single female specimens and lack corresponding males with genitalia (exception A. laevis, see below). For now, we consider the synonymized species as species inquirendae.</p><p>The following synonyms are listed for A. fumipennis:</p><p>Aphanogmus hyalinipennis Thomson, 1858: described from a single female specimen from Sweden, near Lund and deposited at NHRS (NHRS -HEVA 000008193, prép. n ° 6212 / 122) (Fig. 33). The species was synonymized by Dessart (1963 b).</p><p>Aphanogmus laevis Förster, 1861: described from a single male specimen from Switzerland and deposited at NHMW (NHMW -HYM # 0030402). The species was synonymized by Szelényi (1940). After the examination of the type specimen, we can confirm that it belongs to the A. fumipennis species group by the presence of the posterior mesosomal comb and the posterodistal spine at the metacoxa (Fig. 34). However, we refrained from dissecting the male genitalia. The delicate procedure is likely to damage the genitalia and rather lose information than gain information. We follow decisions similar to Trietsch et al. 2020 (e. g., Conostigmus californicus (Ashmead, 1893)) and Salden and Peters 2023 (e. g., Cyoceraphron fuscopleuralis Dessart, 1978), and consider A. laevis as a species inquirenda.</p><p>Aphanogmus grenadensis Ashmead, 1896: described from two female specimens from Grenada (Neotropics) and deposited at NHMUK and USNM. The species was synonymized by Dessart (1975 a, 1981).</p><p>Aphanogmus formicarius Kieffer, 1905: described from a single female specimen from Slovenia “ Draufeld ” and deposited in the MAAS. The species was synonymized by Dessart (1975 a).</p><p>Aphanogmus clavatus Kieffer, 1907: described from a single female specimen from Italy and originally deposited in the MCSN. Dessart (1975 a) synonymized the species and reported the type to be missing in the MCSN. Hellén (1966) added records of male and female specimens from Finland. Due to the lack of sufficient diagnostic characters, these species identifications are highly dubious.</p><p>Ceraphron armatus Kieffer, 1907: described from a single female specimen from Scotland and deposited in the NHMUK. The species was synonymized by Dessart (1975 a).</p><p>Ceraphron formicarium Kieffer, 1907: described from a single female specimen from England and deposited in the NHMUK. The species was synonymized by Dessart (1975 a).</p><p>Ceraphron frenalis Kieffer, 1907: described from a single female specimen from Italy and deposited in the MCSN. The species was synonymized by Szelényi, in Russo (1938) and synonymization was confirmed by Dessart (1965).</p><p>Ceraphron oriphilus Kieffer, 1913: described from a single female specimen from Kenya (Afrotropics) and deposited in the MNHN (Trietsch et al. 2019). The species was synonymized by Dessart (1966).</p><p>Ceraphron fuliginosi Box, 1921: described from a single female specimen from England and deposited in the NHMUK. The species was synonymized by Dessart (1975 a).</p><p>Calliceras fasciata Fouts, 1924: described from two female specimens from the USA (Nearctic) and deposited in the LACM and USNM. The species was synonymized by Dessart (1981).</p><p>Calliceras boreale Whittaker, 1930: described from two female specimens from Canada (Nearctic) and deposited in the NHMUK. The species was synonymized by Dessart (1975 a).</p><p>Allomicrops bemisiae Ghesquière, 1935: described from a single female specimen from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (Afrotropics) and deposited in the RMCA. The species was synonymized by Dessart (1963 a). The species is listed as parasitoid or hyperparasitoid of Bemisia tabaci (Gennadius, 1889) ( Hemiptera: Aleyrodidae) (Ghesquière 1935).</p><p>Biology.</p><p>For a detailed list of recorded biological data associated with the name A. fumipennis (including synonyms / species inquirendae) see suppl. material 1 in Moser et al.

Afrotropics: Kenya. Palaearctic: Czech Republic, Georgia, Germany, Hungary, Norway, Slovakia, Sweden, and Switzerland.</p><p>Biology. Unknown.</p><p>Remarks. The posterior mesosomal comb is the main diagnostic character and allows quick identification of the A. fumipennis species group. It consists of two rows of densely packed setae interlocking at their distal parts and bordering a smooth, concave area along the posterior metacoxa. The posterodistal spine of the metacoxa marks the terminal point of the comb. On the posterolateral surface of the metanoto-propodeo-mesopecto-metapectal complex, densely packed setae continue (Fig. 2). Aphanogmus was previously divided into three species groups by Evans et al. (2005), based on the presence or absence of two morphological characters: the median mesoscutal sulcus (“ mesoscutal median furrow ” in Evans et al. (2005)) and the transverse carina of the syntergite (“ gastral basal carina ”). In the clavicornis group, both characters are absent; in the tenuicornis group the median mesoscutal sulcus is absent while the transverse carina of the syntergite is present; and in the fumipennis group both characters are present. These species groups have been adopted in recent taxonomic work (Matsuo et al. 2016; Salden and Peters 2023; Mollaei et al. 2025). The present A. fumipennis species group diagnosis significantly expands and refines the previous diagnosis of the fumipennis group by Evans et al. (2005).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CF343D8240B1EFE10B5A3A6631B60A29	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply. See Agosti, D., Egloff, W., 2009.

However, in A. karlazani, the median margin of the triangular lamella-like extension is slightly concave in apical half (straight in A. kintrishi), the tip of the extension is pointed (rounded in A. kintrishi), and the median setae of the harpe are extending to the apical third in A. karlazani (restricted to the apical quarter in A. kintrishi). Additionally, the gonossiculus is differently shaped in both species (with indistinct digital teeth and a knob-like apex in A. karlazani (Fig. 14 D) and at least three digital teeth without a knob-like apex in A. kintrishi (Fig. 15 D)).</p><p>All six examined specimens can be unambiguously assigned to A. karlazani based on morphological characters, particularly the male genitalia. Only one DNA barcode (SMNS _Hym_Cer_001034) is available for A. karlazani . The molecularly closest specimen to SMNS _Hym_Cer_001034 is ZFMK -HYM-00042561 (with only 1 % difference), which is a singleton with distinctly different male genitalia (Fig. 31 B – D, an additional undescribed putative species). Integrating the data we have at hand, we decide to describe this species based on the distinct morphological characters shared by a series of six males from three countries, resulting in a clear morphological diagnosis, and acknowledge that molecular characterization of A. karlazani (and putative additional close species) needs additional specimens and sequence data. Consequently, given the still unclear molecular characterization of A. karlazani, we do not provide the DNA barcode as part of the description and do not highlight the single specimen / sequence as belonging to A. karlazani in Fig. 1.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/1904C843B2F554F0B66C92B77CEAE8FE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, closer examination reveals several diagnostic differences (Fig. 15 D): A basomedian spine of the harpe is present in A. kintrishi but absent in A. pilosicoxa, the harpe width to length ratio is higher in A. kintrishi (0.29) than in A. pilosicoxa (0.20), in A. kintrishi the harpes have a distinct triangular median lamella-like extension at mid-length, in A. pilosicoxa the harpes have a median extension at the base and a slim convex median lamella-like extension in the apical two-thirds.</p><p>In the molecular analyses, one female specimen from Norway (NOCER-435) is also included in this species, but only when using mPTP. It is delimited by the other two methods ASAP and objective clustering, its distance to the type series is 6.5 %. Morphological examination of this singleton female does not allow reliable assessment. Integrating all data, this specimen is not considered as part of the species A. kintrishi .</p><p>For further morphological comparisons, see remarks under A. karlazani .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/CD548AB6917050E88E9C8787E0456516	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

However, the proportions and setal arrangement of the genitalia differ clearly between the two species.</p><p>The molecular species delimitation analyses result in different species clusters depending on the method applied. The mPTP analysis grouped 59 sequences into a single cluster, with an intraspecific barcode distance of 5.1 %. The spID analysis split these 59 sequences into two clusters, one containing 51 sequences and the other eight sequences, with a barcode distance of 5.1 % between the clusters. The ASAP analysis separated the same 59 sequences into four clusters: one cluster with two specimens, one cluster with 49 sequences, and two clusters with four sequences each. The two specimens ZFMK -HYM-00042529 (male), ZFMK -HYM-00042530 (female) are designated as holotype and paratype, because they consistently cluster together in all three delimitation methods and the male has well-diagnosable genitalia. The remaining 57 specimens are assigned to A. vashlovani but not designated as paratypes. Specifically, the cluster of 49 sequences found with ASAP has a maximum distance of 2.6. % to the type series. Unfortunately, it includes only female specimens which are difficult to assess morphologically. The cluster of eight specimens found with spID includes a male ZFMK -HYM-00042525. Unfortunately, the dissected genitalia are slightly deformed. They at least closely resemble those of the holotype, and we assign this specimen to A. vashlovani, but we refrain from a taxonomic decision because of the deformation and do not designate the specimens as paratypes. Analyses of additional material will be necessary to further define the limits of A. vashlovani or to delimit additional species close to A. vashlovani .</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/50F597AAEED45993BB49E5D123F75792	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
