Panerema Foerster

Belokobylskij, Sergey A. & Kula, Robert R., 2012, Review of the brachypterous, micropterous, and apterous Braconidae of the cyclostome lineage (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) from the Palearctic Region 3240, Zootaxa 3240 (1), pp. 1-62 : 43

Genus Panerema Foerster

Panerema , represented in the Palearctic Region only, contains three species ( van Achterberg 1988a; Papp 2003a). Van Achterberg (1988a) stated that Aspilota pygmipunctum (Fischer) is “probably” a species of Panerema but did not transfer it to that genus. Females are known for Panerema inops Foerster (brachypterous) and Panerema fulvicornis (Haliday) (macropterous). Panerema szelenyiana (Fischer) and A. pygmipunctum were described from males only, and their position in Panerema needs to be verified.

Prior to this study, brachypterous species of Panerema were known only from the Western Palearctic. A new species represented by a brachypterous female collected in the Kamchatka Peninsula of Russia is described below.
