Aphanogmus fijiensis ( Ferrière, 1933) View in CoL
Johnson & Musetti 2004: 15.
Aphanogmus fijiensis View in CoL – Polaszek & LaSalle 1995: 133–134 (keyed, diagnosis), 139, fig. 20 (male genitalia).
Remarks
Male and male genitalia known. Aphanogmus fijiensis can be distinguished from the newly described species (see remarks under A. kisiwa sp. nov.) based on the descriptions by Ferrière (1933: 106), and the additional descriptions and illustrations of the male genitalia of a non-type specimen from Madagascar by Dessart (1971: 97, figs 13–14) and Polaszek & LaSalle (1995). Based on the information given by Risbec (1950: 554) and Dessart (1971: 95), the species is assigned here to the A. fumipennis species group. Considering the very broad geographic distribution, the estimated proportion of undescribed species of Ceraphronidae , and the insufficient characterization of the male, including unclear assignment of the described male to the holotype female, the identity of A. fijiensis is dubious.
Biology
Parasitizes, for example, Apanteles tirathabae Wilkinson, 1928 , A. taragamae Viereck, 1912 , Cotesia flavipes Cameron, 1891 ( Hymenoptera : Braconidae ) and Syzeuctus sp. ( Hymenoptera : Ichneumonidae ) through Crambidae , Noctuidae and Pyralidae (Lepidoptera) ( Polaszek & LaSalle 1995).
Distribution
Afrotropical, Australasian, Neotropical and Indomalayan ( Polaszek & LaSalle 1995).
Type depository
Female holotype deposited at NHMUK. Additional material at various institutions (see Polaszek & LaSalle 1995: 134 for a full list).
