Enicospilus yezoensis (Uchida, 1928) Figure 53 View Figure 53

Henicospilus yezoensis Uchida, 1928: 227; LCT ♀ from Japan, SEHU, examined.

Enicospilus ranunculus Chiu, 1954: 36; HT ♀ from South Korea, TARI, examined; syn. nov.

Specimens examined.

Total of 31 specimens (18♀♀12♂♂ and 1 unsexed): Japan (16♀♀12♂♂ and 1 unsexed), South Korea (1♀), unknown (1♀).

Type series: LCT ♀ of Henicospilus yezoensis Uchida, 1928, Maruyama, Hokkaidô, JAPAN, 27.VII.1929, T. Uchida leg. (SEHU); HT ♀ of Enicospilus ranunculus Chiu, 1954, SOUTH KOREA (TARI).

Distribution.

Eastern Palaearctic region ( Yu et al. 2016).

Newly recorded from South Korea.

JAPAN: [ Hokkaidô] ( Uchida 1928; present study); [ Tôhoku] Aomori ( Ichita 1994; present study), Yamagata*, and Fukushima*; [ Kantô-Kôshin] Tochigi*, Nagano*, Tôkyô *, and Kanagawa*; [ Tôkai] Mie*; [Kinki] Hyôgo * and Nara*; [Shikoku] Kôchi *; [ Kyûshû] Fukuoka*, Saga* and Kagoshima ( Fukuda and Kusigemati 1986; present study). *New records.

Bionomics.

Unknown.

Differential diagnosis.

This species is similar to E. melanocarpus and E. ramidulus . However, E. yezoensis is easily distinguished from all other species of Enicospilus by the following combination of character states: proximal and distal sclerites separated (Fig. 53F View Figure 53 ); central sclerite comma-shaped (Fig. 53F View Figure 53 ); face wide and subquadrate (Fig. 53B View Figure 53 ); gena wide and not constricted behind eye in dorsal view (Fig. 53C, D View Figure 53 ); and diagonal groove of outer mandibular surface with dense and long setae (Fig. 53B, D View Figure 53 ) (also see Table 8 View Table 8 ).

Remarks.

This species is rather morphologically stable. The holotype of E. ranunculus syn. nov. is clearly conspecific with E. yezoensis and is newly synonymised here.
