Abstract Abstract
The genus Calliscelio Ashmead is presumed to be a diverse group of parasitoids of the eggs of crickets (Orthoptera: Gryllidae). A least one species has been found to be an important factor in depressing cricket pest populations. The New World species of Calliscelio are revised. Forty-two species are recognized, 3 are redescribed: Calliscelio bisulcatus (Kieffer), Calliscelio laticinctus Ashmead, Calliscelio rubriclavus (Ashmead), comb. n.; and 38 are described as new: Calliscelio absconditum Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio absum Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio alcoa Chen & Masner, sp. n., Calliscelio amadoi Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio armila Chen & Masner, sp. n., Calliscelio bidens Chen & Masner, sp. n., Calliscelio brachys Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio brevinotaulus Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio brevitas Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio carinigena Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio crater Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio crena Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio eboris Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio extenuatus Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio flavicauda Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio foveolatus Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio gatineau Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio glaber Chen & Masner, sp. n., Calliscelio granulatus Chen & Masner, sp. n., Calliscelio latifrons Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio levis Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio longius Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio magnificus Chen & Masner, sp. n., Calliscelio migma Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio minutia Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio paraglaber Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio pararemigio Chen & Masner, sp. n., Calliscelio prolixus Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio punctatifrons Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio remigio Chen & Masner, sp. n., Calliscelio ruga Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio rugicoxa Chen & Masner, sp. n., Calliscelio sfina Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio storea Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio suni Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio telum Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio torqueo Chen & Johnson, sp. n., Calliscelio virga Chen & Johnson, sp. n.

Introduction
The genus Calliscelio Ashmead was first erected for a single species, Calliscelio laticinctus Ashmead, from the Lesser Antilles (Ashmead 1893). For nearly 80 years it was considered to be a valid genus although it remained narrowly defined. Kieffer (1926), for example, included only two species in his monograph on world Scelionidae (= Platygastridae sensu Sharkey 2007). Masner (1972) treated Calliscelio as a junior synonym of Calotelea Westwood. Shortly thereafter, though, Masner (1976) rejected this hypothesis, treated Calliscelio as valid, and also significantly expanded the extent of the genus. Kieffer had described seven other genera over the years, all of which Masner (1976) treated as junior synonyms of Calliscelio (see generic synonymy below). Recently, in a survey of external morphology across the superfamily Platygastroidea, Talamas et al. (2016) found that the prioniform sensillum on the mandible is synapomorphy for the genus Calliscelio and treated Crama Galloway, Lispoteleia Galloway, Xentor Masner and Johnson, and Yunkara Galloway as junior synonyms of Calliscelio.
The current concept of Calliscelio is a relatively large genus in the subfamily Scelioninae, comprising 77 known species (including 3 fossil species; Johnson 2016). It is a worldwide genus, with species found in all six major biogeographic regions. Interestingly, at least two species, i.e., Calliscelio rubriclavus (Ashmead) and Calliscelio elegans (Perkins), have extraordinarily broad geographic distributions possibly due to increased globalization of human commerce (Masner et al. 2009). This phenomenon leads to the question: from which part of the world did these species originate? Also, although Calliscelio was originally erected based on species in the New World, only 6 species were reported from this region to date, suggesting that more species remain to be discovered. Thus, a comprehensive revision of species of Calliscelio based on extensive sampling from the New World is needed to provide a more accurate understanding of the diversity and interrelationships among species in the genus.
Even though Calliscelio is a diverse, common, and widespread genus, the available biological data are extremely scanty. The only host record is for Calliscelio teleogrylli Hill, which was reported to attack the eggs of Teleogryllus commodus (Walker) (Orthoptera: Gryllidae), a widespread pest in pastures in the Pacific region (Hill 1983). By comparison with Calliscelio teleogrylli, Masner et al. (2009) suggested that Calliscelio elegans may attack the eggs of one or more species of Gryllidae associated with sugar cane.
The goal of this work is to reevaluate the known species of Calliscelio from the New World, expand the biogeographic data associated with these species, and to describe new species. The contributions of the authors are as follows. H-y Chen and N.F. Johnson: character definition, generic concept development, species concept development, imaging, key development, manuscript preparation; L. Masner: character definition, generic concept development, species concept development. The authors of the new species are indicated in the heading of each description.

Morphological terms used in this work are as in the Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology (Yoder et al. 2010) (Appendix 1). Identifiers (URIs) in the format HAO_XXXXXXX represent concepts in the HAO and are provided to enable readers to confirm their understanding of the concepts being referenced. To find out more about a given concept, including additional images, notes, references and other metadata, use the identifier as a search term at http://glossary.hymao.org or use the identifier as a web-link.
In the Material Examined section, the specimens studied are recorded in an abbreviated format, using unique identifiers (numbers prefixed with “OSUC”, “CASENT”, “UCFC”, “CMNH”, “MHNG”) for the individual specimens. The label data for all specimens have been georeferenced and recorded in the Hymenoptera On-Line database, and details on the data associated with these specimens can be accessed at the following link, hol.osu.edu, and entering the identifier in the form (note the space between the acronym and the number). The electronic version of the paper contains hyperlinks to external resources. Insofar as possible, the external information conforms to standards developed and maintained through the organization Biodiversity Information Standards (Taxonomic Database Working Group). All new species have been prospectively registered with ZooBank (Polaszek et al. 2005, http://www.zoobank.org), and other taxonomic names, where appropriate, have been retrospectively registered.
Data associated with the genus Calliscelio can be accessed at hol.osu.edu/index.html?id=461. The generic and species descriptions were generated by an xBio:D platform application, vSysLab (vsyslab.osu.edu), designed to facilitate the production of a taxon by character data matrices, and to integrate those data with the existing taxonomic, bibliographic and specimen-level database. Data may be exported in both text format and as input files for other applications. The text output for descriptions is in the format of “Character: Character state (s)”. Polymorphic characters are indicated by semicolon-separated character states.
Images and measurements were made using Combine ZP and AutoMontage extended-focus software, using JVC KY-F75U digital camera, Leica Z16 APOA microscope, and 1X objective lens. Images were post-processed with Abobe Photoshop CS3 Extended. A standard set of images is provided for each species: dorsal habitus, lateral habitus, dorsal and lateral views of the head and mesosoma, and anterior view of head. The individual images are archived in Specimage (specimage.osu.edu), the image database at The Ohio State University.

Diagnosis.
Calliscelio may be distinguished from other genera of the subfamily by the combination of the following characters: eyes glabrous in many species but in some with short hairs or even densely hairy; skaphion never developed; metanotum medially produced into a transverse plate or lamella, neither spinose nor toothed laterally; propodeum usually unarmed, often excavate to contain T1 horn, only in a few species with posterolateral corner acute; T6 in females often elongate, sword-like, depressed dorsoventrally. Calliscelio is most similar to Holoteleia Kieffer and Probaryconus Kieffer in the tribe Calliscelionini and Calotelea in Psilanteridini in body shape and some external characters. The following key is used to separate these genera with the fewest characters possible.

Diagnosis.
This species shares the character of the abbreviated notaulus with Calliscelio absum and Calliscelio brevinotaulus. It can be separated from Calliscelio absum by having A4 as long as A3 in the female and the length of the A5 tyloid in the male is approximately 0.3× length of A5; from Calliscelio brevinotaulus it may be distinguished by the absence of the T1 horn in the female.
Etymology.
The epithet is derived the Greek word for short, in reference to the abbreviated notaulus, and is intended to be treated as a noun in apposition.

Diagnosis.
This species is most similar to Calliscelio laticinctus and Calliscelio longius in color, size and habitus. It may be distinguished from them by having A6 quadrate in female, whereas A6 is distinctly longer than wide in Calliscelio laticinctus and Calliscelio longius.
Etymology.
The epithet is used as a noun in apposition derived from the Latin word for shortness, in reference to the shortened A5 and A6.

Diagnosis.
This species is most similar to Calliscelio crater and Calliscelio sfina. It can be separated from Calliscelio crater by the presence of a carina along the outer orbit on the postgena rather than large foveae, and from Calliscelio sfina by the presence of the hyperoccipital carina.
Etymology.
The epithet is a compound noun in reference to the genal carina along the outer orbit. It is intended to be used as a noun in apposition.

Diagnosis.
This species is similar to Calliscelio carinigena and Calliscelio sfina in color, size and habitus, but it can be easily recognized by the large foveae on the postgena (postgena of Calliscelio sfina granulate, whereas Calliscelio carinigena with a carina along outer orbit).
Etymology.
The specific epithet refers to the foveae on the postgena and should be treated as a noun in apposition.

Comments.
This species is well supported by many characters, although there are variations in female antennae color and T1 horn sculpture. The common color of the female antennal club is dark brown to black, while there are a few exceptions that A7, A8 brown, A9–A12 white to pale yellow. T1 horn usually is smooth, while a few species rugulose, or transversely striate, or smooth to somewhat transversely striate. These variations are gradual among specimens. Therefore we consider them as intraspecific rather than interspecific.

Comments.
This species seems to be a very common species in the New World, and we also have seen additional specimens from South Africa. Masner et al. (2009) suggested that this kind of widespread distribution may result from commercial traffic. Calliscelio rubriclavus exhibits variation in color, ranging from orange to black, in the shape of metascutellum, and in the sculpture of T1 horn and T3. Specimens collected from Central America tend to be darker, while the variation in the sculpture of T1 horn and T3 show no clear correlations among the distrituion ranges

Comments.
We generally avoided describing two or more new species based on single specimens when they were collected at the same locality and time, which is the case for Calliscelio rugicoxa and Calliscelio bidens, but these two species are easily distinguished from each other (see diagnoses of the two species), and we are convinced they are two different species.

Diagnosis.
This species is most similar to Calliscelio carinigena and Calliscelio crater in color, size and habitus but it can be distinguished by the absence of the hyperoccipital carina (hyperoccipital carina are absent in Calliscelio carinigena and Calliscelio crater).
Etymology.
The specific epithet is Greek for wedge and should be treated as a noun in apposition. It refers to the “wedge-like” horn on T1 in the female.

Diagnosis.
This species is most similar to Calliscelio bisulcatus and Calliscelio virga in the hairy compound eyes, size and habitus. It can be separated from Calliscelio bisulcatus by the granulate mesoscutellum and the broad and short metascutellum, and from Calliscelio virga by the rugose metascutellum and the rugulose T1 horn in the female.
Etymology.
The epithet is used as a noun in apposition derived from the Latin word for mat or rug, in reference to the rugulose T1 horn in female.

Diagnosis.
This species is similar to Calliscelio absum, Calliscelio extenuatus, Calliscelio minutia and Calliscelio ruga in size and habitus. It can be separated from Calliscelio absum by the percurrent notaulus, from Calliscelio extenuatus and Calliscelio ruga by the bare compound eyes and from Calliscelio minutia by the smooth frons and the entirely hyaline fore wing.
Etymology.
The epithet is derived from the name of a famous character in the Chinese classical novel Journey to the West, Sun Wukong, who knows 72 transformations. It refers the remarkable polymorphism of this species and should be treated as a genitive noun.

Comments.
This species is well supported by many characters, although the sculpture of the posterior vertex and the color of the female antennal clava is extremely variable. The posterior vertex varies from smooth to transversely striate. The hyperoccipital carina also can be present or absent. The female antennal clava varies from entirely brown to having the last two or three segments white. These variations are gradual among specimens. Therefore we consider them as intraspecific rather than interspecific.
