Abstract

An annotated checklist of the Chrysididae from Mongolia is provided. A revision of the bibliographical data is provied, since most of the collecting localities published for “Mongolia” refer to places currently located in China. The known Mongolian cuckoo wasp fauna counts 90 species in 18 genera and two subfamilies. Four genera and 57 species are recorded for the first time, including two species here described as new for science: Cleptes mongolicus Rosa, Halada & Agnoli, sp. nov. (Dornod) and Spinolia spinosa Rosa & Halada, sp. nov. (Bayankhongor).

Keywords: Catalogue, Central Asia, new records, Palaearctic region

Introduction

Mongolia is a large landlocked country in eastern Central Asia, covering 1,564,100 km². Politically, Mongolia is divided into 21 provinces named “aimags” with the capital Ulaanbaatar (Fig. 1). It is bordered by Russia to the north and China to the south, east, and west. Geographically and climatologically, it is an area of contrasts and extremes, between cold mountainous regions up to 4,000 m a.s.l. to the north and west and one of the largest deserts of the world in the south, the Gobi Desert. Most of the country is located on high plateaus, covered by steppes and extensive forested areas. It has an extreme continental climate with long, cold winters and short hot summers, during which most of its annual precipitation falls (Lavrenko 1979; Dathe and Proshchalykin 2016).

Mongolian cuckoo wasps are scarcely known and a few occasional records are found in the literature (Rosa 2017a). Only one article (Móczár 1967) deals with Mongolian material collected by Dr Z. Kaszab during his entomological excursions in this country (1963–1968). Other scattered findings have been published (du Buysson 1901; Semenov-Tian-Shanskij 1912, 1932, 1967; Semenov-Tian-Shanskij and Nikol’skaya 1954; Linsenmaier 1997a; Rosa et al. 2017a, b), while most of the remaining bibliographical data recorded for “Mongolia” actually refer to localities currently included in China (Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Gansu) (du Buysson 1893; Radoszkowski 1877, 1891; Mocsáry 1890; Dalla Torre 1892; Bischoff 1913; Hammer 1936; Tsuneki 1947, 1953a; Linsenmaier 1959, 1968; Semenov-Tian-Shanskij 1967; Kimsey and Bohart 1991; Rosa et al. 2014, 2015). Approximately 30 species were properly recorded from Mongolia so far (Rosa 2017a) and we here add 57 new records for this country, mostly based on the materials collected by Czech entomologists (M. Halada, J. Halada, J. Straka, and M. Kadlecová) in 2003–2007 and mainly housed in the private collections of MH (České Budějovice, Czech Republic) and PR (Bernareggio, Italy). Other new records were found during the examination of the Chrysididae collection housed at the Zoological Institute in St. Petersburg (Russia, ZIN) and based on the material collected during the expeditions of V. Roborovskij and P. Kozlov in 1895 and P. Kozlov in 1926. Finally, a few specimens were examined from the material collected in Mongolia by Soviet-Mongolian expeditions in 1967–1982. Soviet-Mongolian expedition were conducted from 1967 to 1983 and led to the collection of extensive entomological material, which became the basis for the publication of numerous articles and books (including Insects of Mongolia in eleven volumes), devoted to the study of various insects families (Proshchalykin and Kuhlmann 2015), although the Chrysididae were never examined by anyone. Large part of the cuckoo wasps collected during these entomological expeditions is still unprepared and unidentified.

Unpublished distributional records from Mongolia were recently published in the volume on Russian Chrysididae (Rosa et al. 2019), for a better understanding of the distribution of the Asian species, but exact localities were omitted because they were not of interest for that publication. We here report the precise data of species recorded for the first time in Rosa et al. 2019, which are mostly based on material housed in the Linsenmaier collection (Luzern, Switzerland).

In the present paper, based on a comprehensive study of specimens (including primary types) deposited in various collections, we report additional records of 72 species, with two species described as new and 55 species recorded from Mongolia for the first time, resulting in a total number of 90 cuckoo wasps species known from this country (Table 1).

Type material.

Holotype: ♀, Mongolia: Dornod, 100 km W of Choibalsan, 820 m, 23.VII.2007, leg. M. Halada (ZIN). Paratypes: 1 ♂, same collecting locality and date (GLAC); 1 ♂, 20 km W of Choibalsan, 48°01'N, 114°14'E, 800 m, 24.VII.2007, leg. M. Halada (PRC).

Diagnosis.

Cleptes mongolicus sp. nov. belongs to the C. nitidulus species group, based on the pronotum without posterior pit row and without longitudinal median sulcus or posterior median keel. It is closely related only to C. margaritae Móczár, 2000 from Tajikistan, for its general habitus and colouration. The latter belongs to the C. satoi group (Móczár 2000), for the modified pronotal structure, without posterior transversal groove, but with a posteromedian longitudinal keel. Besides the unmodified pronotum, the female of C. mongolicus sp. nov. can be easily separated from the female of C. margaritae by: a) pubescence whitish, shorter on metasoma (max 2.5 MOD) (vs. blackish, longer on metasoma, up to 3 MOD); b) punctation on metasoma with polished T1, shallow and sparse tiny punctures on T2, double punctures on T3 (vs. scattered punctate on T1, densely and evenly punctate on T2 and T3); c) colouration: head entirely black; propodeum entirely blue; T3 and T4 laterally blue; pedicel and F1 yellow; femora apically, tibiae and tarsi yellow (vs. head blue; propodeum black with median blue spot; T3 and T4 fully black; pedicel and flagellum dark brown). The male of Cl. margaritae is currently unknown.

  • Chrysis fulgida Linnaeus, 1761: 415. Lectotype ♀ (designated by Morgan 1984: 9); Sweden: Uppsala (LSL) (ignita group).

Distribution.

*Mongolia (Arkhangai, Selenge, Tuv); Asiatic-European, from Europe to eastern Siberia, Russian Far East and North-East China (Manchuria) (Rosa et al. 2014, 2019).

Remarks.

Two distinct colour forms (Fig. 4) are recorded from Mongolia, Siberia and Primorsky Territory (Russia), and Heilongjiang (China). Form A is matching with the typical European Chrysis fulgida (Fig. 4A, C). Form B is chromatic different without the typical blue colouration on male and female metasoma and with non-metallic black areas on head vertex and mesosoma (Fig. 4B, D). Male T1 golden-greenish, with or without a narrow transversal green or bluish stripe or patch; T2 red, with or without a basal, narrow black stripe; female T1 golden-greenish, with green to bluish colour on T1 frontal declivity to petiolar insertion. This colour variation has also been observed in specimens from Russia (Siberia and Primorsky Territory) and China (Heilongjiang). The Chinese form was mentioned by Linsenmaier (1968) as Chrysis aequicolor Linsenmaier, 1968, which is anyway an unnecessary replacement name for Chrysis fulgida var. concolor Mocsáry, 1912 nec Mocsáry, 1892 (actually male and female of the same taxon). Other evident different morphological characteristics are not recognizable. However, these two forms may represent two sister species, genetically separate, but difficult to identify on the basis of morphological characteristics, as in other known cases of Chrysis of the ignita group (Paukkunen et al. 2015; Orlovskytė et al. 2016).

Chrysis ignita

(Linnaeus, 1758)

CA3F82A1-F484-5363-83F7-3340C4A7BD14

  • Sphex ignita Linnaeus, 1758: 571. Lectotype ♀ (designated by Richards 1935); Europe (LSL) (ignita group).

  • Chrysis ignita : Buyanjargal and Abasheev 2015: 31 (biol. host of Euodynerus dantici, central Mongolia: Khugnu-Khaan Mts, Khugnu-Tarna N.P.).

Material examined.

None examined.

Remarks.

The identification of Chrysis ignita by Buyanjargal and Abasheev (2015) is doubtful and very likely represent another species of the C. ignita group or even a member of another species group (e.g., succincta group). In fact, the host association with Euodynerus dantici, as observed by the two authors, is unusual. Euodynerus dantici is known as a possible host for members of the C. succincta group (C. germari and C. tristicula (sub C. succincta succinctula) Pauli et al. 2019, supplementary file 4). For example, C. dauriana Linsenmaier was erroneously identified as C. ignita by several authors, including Trautmann (identification label pinned with the type of C. dauriana).

Distribution.

Mongolia (Bulgan) [doubtful]; West-Palaearctic: from West Europe to central Asia (Linsenmaier 1997b).

Type material.

Holotype: ♀, Mongolia: Bayankhongor, Edringiyn-Nuru Ridge, 100 km SSW of Bayan-Under, 5.IX.1970, leg. V. Zaitzev (ZIN).

Diagnosis.

Spinolia spinosa sp. nov. is closely related to Central Asian species of the unicolor group, which includes S. chalcites (Mocsáry, 1890), S. rusalka (Semenov, 1901), S. hedychroides (Bingham, 1903) and other small species so far considered synonyms of S. chalcites (Kimsey and Bohart 1991). S. spinosa sp. nov. female can be easily separated from all these species by: lateral pronotal area and propleuron ventrally V-shaped carinate, displaying two teeth in lateral view (Fig. 5D) (vs. unmodified in other species); mesopleuron with large and deep scrobal sulcus subtended by large projecting subrectangular carina (Fig. 5D) (vs. U-shaped carina); sparse, deep and large punctures on mesosoma (Fig. 6D), and sparse and deep punctures on metasoma (vs. punctation with dense, shallow and tiny punctures on mesosoma, denser and shallower on metasoma); antennae yellowish, distinctly elongate (Fig. 5A) (vs. black to dark brown, with short to very short flagellomeres); head, in frontal view, transversely subrectangular (Fig. 6A) and not triangular (Fig. 6B); with bulging eyes, similarly to S. unicolor. It is additionally separated from S. unicolor by punctation, elongate and yellowish antennae and bronze body colour (entirely blue body in S. unicolor, with shortened, blackish flagellomeres).

Description.

Female. Body length 6.0 mm. Fore wing length 3.8 mm. OOL = 2.3 MOD; POL = 1.9 MOD; MS = 0.7 MOD; relative length of P:F1:F2:F3 = 1.0:1.4:1.0:0.8; subantennal space: 1.4 MOD. Head. Vertex with deep and contiguous punctures, as large as 0.25 MOD; vertex moderately depressed and impunctate in front of anterior ocellus and impunctate laterad of posterior ocelli; median anterior depression developed to upper scapal basin; TFC faint; frons continuous, without two flattened or concave, striate areas; scapal basin almost flat, laterally densely micro-punctate, medially with contiguous punctures forming transverse winkles (Fig. 6A); lower part of scapal basin medially impunctate and sulcate; apex of clypeus discoloured, W-shaped and bent under, medially the folded part measures 0.6 MOD. Malar space very short, distinctly less than 1 MOD. Antennae elongate, with flagellomeres as long as 1.5 × their width. Mouth parts elongate (as long as 0.8 × head length) and evidently protruding from oral fossa. Mesosoma. Pronotal groove barely visible; anterolateral corner of the pronotum projected to form an acute humeral angle (Fig. 5A); lateral pronotal area ventrally V-shaped carinate forming an acute tooth (Fig. 5D); propleuron ventrally carinate in a large V-shaped tooth (Fig. 5D). Mesosoma punctation dorsally with large, spaced punctures; interspaces medially polished, laterally micro-punctate; notauli incomplete, visible and deep only basally towards the transscutal fissure; parapsidal furrows fully visible; mesopleuron with a large subrectangular area subtended the mesepimeron + mesepisternum; posterior propodeal projections narrow, acute and downward directed. Wing venation unmodified, with long Rs bending slightly away from costal margin, leaving marginal cell broadly open. Metasoma. Punctation on T1 with tiny, sparse punctures (separated by 1–4 PD) (Fig. 6D), laterally micro-punctate on interspaces; T2 with larger and deeper punctures, anterodorsally denser (0.1–2 PD), laterally micro-punctate on interspaces; T3 with coarse to contiguous small punctures; T3 pit row barely sunken, with small, round pits, equally spaced; posterior pit row area almost polished, with a few, sparse, tiny punctures; T3 with two lateral angles and fully bordered by hyaline margin. Metasomal invaginated T5, T6, and S5 with several dorsal and lateral lobes. S2 black spots oval, transversally placed and separated 0.5 MOD each other. Colouration. Body coppery-bronze, darker to black on median area of mesoscutum; ventrally golden to copper; tegulae golden to non-metallic yellowish on outer margin; tarsi dark brown. Mandible brown, lighter medially. Scape and pedicel coppery, antennomeres yellowish-orange, darker on distal segments. Legs pale coloured, with slight metallic reflections, with non-metallic proximal and distal joints; tarsi yellowish. Forewings hyaline, slightly amber, with light brown veins. Vestiture. Whitish, short and sparse setae on head and mesosoma (up to 1.5 MOD long); face with short whitish setae (less than 1.0 MOD); metasoma with short (less than 1. MOD) whitish, sparse setae on T3 and ventrally on S2 and S3 and femora.

Male. Unknown.

Etymology.

The specific epithet spinosa (feminine) is derived from the Latin adjective spinosus (thorny) for the long and acute teeth ventrally displayed on pronotum and propleuron and clearly visible in lateral view (Fig. 5D).

Distribution.

Mongolia (Bayankhongor).

Conclusions

Approximately 1500 chrysidid specimens were examined for the compilation of this first checklist of the Mongolian Chrysididae. Fifty-seven resulted newly recorded, but still a large number of specimens are laying unidentified in museum and private collections. Nineteen species were excluded from the fauna of Mongolia, because collecting localities are currently included in China territories; however, these species are expected for Mongolia. Based on the available data, distributional records for 90 Mongolian species are listed, representing 18 genera grouped in two subfamilies. In terms of species richness, Cleptinae are represented only by two species so far, and the subfamily Chrysidinae is the most speciose (88 species, 98%). Among Chrysidinae, Chrysidini is the most speciose tribe (47 species, 53.4%), followed by Elampini (39 species, 44.3%), and finally Parnopini (2 species, 2.2%).

Currently eight species (9% of known taxa) are provisionally considered endemic: Cleptes mongolicus Rosa, Halada & Agnoli, sp. nov., Chrysis mocsaryi Radoszkowski, 1889, Ch. priapus Rosa, 2018, Spinolia spinosa Rosa & Halada, sp. nov., Elampus spinifemoris (Móczár, 1967), Hedychrum lama du Buysson, 1891, Holopyga kaszabi Móczár, 1967, and Philoctetes shokalskii (Semenov, 1932).

From a chorological point of view, one species has a Holarctic distribution (Pseudochrysis neglecta), ten have Palaearctic distributions, one has a Holarctic and Oriental distribution (Omalus aeneus), one a Palaearctic and Oriental distribution (Hedychridium gerstaeckeri), 28 species have an Asiatic-European distribution, 21 have an East Palaearctic distribution, and 19 have a Central Asian distribution.

Another result of the present study is a better knowledge of the distributional limits of some species, and Mongolia represents the easternmost record for seven species: Chrysis aestiva, Ch. illigeri, Ch. jaxartis, Ch. leptomandibularis, Chrysura ignifrons, Elampus albipennis and Philoctetes bogdanovii.

The most widespread Mongolian species is the endemic Philoctetes shokalskii recorded in ten aimags. Chrysis consanguinea and Hedychridium ardens were recorded in nine aimags. This is not surprising because C. consanguinea resulted in being one of the most common species from Western to Eastern Siberia also (Rosa et al. 2017c, d), whereas H. ardens is one of the most common Euro-Siberian species ranging from Central Europe to China (Rosa et al. 2014). Pseudomalus pusillus was recorded in eight aimags, whereas H. cupreum, H. chalybaeum and Philoctetes mongolicus were recorded in seven7 aimags; they are Asiatic-European species, sometimes locally abundant. Hedychridium longigena and Parnopes popovii were recorded in seven aimags, yet they are East-Palaearctic species.

Although most of the Mongolian aimags are under-represented in the existing data due to inadequacy of surveys, based on the currently available data we can state that the highest number of recorded species was collected in Tuv (42 species), Arkhangai (27 species), and Selenge and Dornod (20 species) aimags (Table 2). The family Chrysididae has not yet been documented from Bayan-Ulgii, Darkhan-Uul, Dundgovi, Khuvsgul, Orkhon, and Uvs although it is probable that this cosmopolitan family is present in these aimags and it is only a matter of time before the fauna is sampled and recorded.

Comment. Chrysididae are not known in Bayan-Ulgii, Darkhan-Uul, Dundgovi, Khuvsgul, Orkhon, and Uvs.

Overall, the Mongolian fauna is still too poorly known for a complete analysis of species richness and composition. The faunal richness of Mongolia is doubtless much higher than we currently know, in comparison with the chrysidid fauna of the adjacent countries and considering the geographic position of Mongolian aimags and their different biotopes. For example, at least another 75 species recorded for Siberia (Rosa et al. 2017d) are expected for Mongolia, as well as other five genera known from bordering and central Asian countries (Chrysidini: Chrysidea Bischoff, 1913, Spintharina Semenov, 1892; Elampini: Chrysellampus Semenov, 1932, Haba Semenov, 1954; Parnopini: Cephaloparnops Bischoff, 1910). Copious undescribed members of the genus Prochridium Linsenmaier, 1968 were collected in Mongolia. The descriptions of Mongolian Prochridium, and a revision of this genus, are in preparation. Only a single record of an undescribed Prochridium was previously known in literature for Central Asia (Turkmenistan) (Linsenmaier 1994).
