Type species: Reikosiella (Incohata) guttata Gibson by original designation.</p><p>Remarks. The main difference between Reikosiella and Eupelmus is that Reikosiella females have Mt7 (the segment with spiracles) undivided and Mt6 is not produced extensively over Mt7 (Bouček 1988) (Figs 11 – 13, 16, 45, 49). In Eupelmus females, Mt6 is produced posteriorly so that Mt7 is partly or mostly concealed beneath it, and Mt7 has an incised apex and is medially divided by at least a hyaline line (Gibson 1995). Another character of Reikosiella females is the shape of the scrobal depression, which is broad and shallow, and extends to the inner orbits so that the parascrobal region is virtually absent, except for the lower parascrobal region which protrudes angularly (e.g. Figs 1–6, 46, 50) (usually in Eupelmus the parascrobal area is distinct and the lower parascrobal region is only rarely protuberant). These characters are only apparent in specimens with the head and metasoma not collapsed due to air drying (as in Figs 15, 41). The fore wing is also usually distinctly elongate and narrow, with the marginal vein appearing distinctly longer than the costal cell (e.g. Figs 17–21, 45, 49), and always without a differentiated linea calva. The mid tibia lacks an oblique apical groove and either lacks apical pegs or these are inconspicuous, being similar in color to the apex of the tibia. The mesotarsus has a single row of pegs along each side of the tarsomeres, with the pegs of similar color as the tarsus or with slightly pigmented apices. This latter mesotarsal peg structure is found only in E. ( Episolindelia Girault) among regional species of Eupelmus .</p><p>Reikosiella (Hirticauda) Bou ě ek</p><p>Finlayia Girault, 1934 .</p><p>Hirticauda Bouček, 1988 .</p><p>Reikosiella (Hirticauda): Gibson, 1995: 259–261, 263.</p><p>Remarks. All Palaearctic species of Reikosiella belong to the subgenus Hirticauda, which was erected originally as a genus for a group of species mostly similar to species classified in Reikosiella except for the shape of the head and conformation of the ovipositor sheaths (Bouček 1988). Gibson (1995) considered that the differences were only conspicuous modifications of an Old World group of species related to New World species of Reikosiella and treated Hirticauda as one of four subgenera in the genus. Females of R. ( Hirticauda) differ from females of the other subgenera by the structure of their acropleural sulcus, which curves, sinuately, to the anterolateral angle of the mesocoxa so as to delineate a slender mesepisternum above the mesocoxa and, in most species, by the presence of a straight row of pale mesotibial apical pegs (Gibson 1995). These pegs are present in all Palaearctic species, though sometimes they are difficult to see because they are concolorous with the apex of the mesotibia. Females of world species of R. ( Hirticauda) often also have a bicolored antenna, with one to several funicular segments white (Figs 52, 54) (Gibson 1995). However, six of the ten Palaearctic species, including the most common R. rostrata comb. nov., are atypical because females have a completely dark flagellum (Fig. 48) similar to Eupelmus . Most females also have F1 anelliform to slightly longer than wide (Gibson 1995), but up to twice as long as wide in R. cornuta sp. nov. (Fig. 24).</p><p>The posterior margin of the syntergum is omega-like emarginate in nearly all females of Reikosiella, including those of R. ( Hirticauda). Usually, there is a distinct surface anterior to the terminal emargination (Gibson 1995), though occasionally in Palaearctic species of R. ( Hirticauda) Mt7 covers Mt8 (syntergum) up to the dorsally facing anal sclerite (in R. vanharteni sp. nov., Fig. 26). Also, in one species ( R. koreana sp. nov.) the anal sclerite is displaced anteriorly so that the syntergum extends posterior of the emargination to surround the anal sclerite as a gradually slopping, medially divided surface (Fig. 29). In all Palaearctic species the female metasoma is ovoidal, being wider in the distal half, and is whitish ventrobasally and sometimes with a subbasal dorsal whitish band (Figs 10–13, 45, 49). Regional females of Eupelmus have this metasomal structure and color pattern only in the subgenus Macroneura Walker, which contains species with brachypterous females and hence impossible to confuse with Reikosiella females, which are always macropterous.</p><p>Females of all Palaearctic species of R. ( Hirticauda) have infuscated fore wings, with the infuscation pattern usually consisting of a band behind the parastigma, a second broader band or spot behind the distal part of the marginal and postmarginal veins, and a diffuse spot at the apex. Species having reduced infuscation have the second spot inconspicuous or absent and the wing apex clear (Fig. 28), whereas those species with strongly infuscated fore wings have a pattern similar to that of many Anastatus Motschulsky females, consisting of a median transverse cross-band on an infuscated disc (Figs 24–25). Females of many species also have a stigmal vein with a thick and conspicuously elongate uncus or a posteriorly angularly expanded stigma, or both (Figs 34, 35, 37–39, 47, 53). Females of a few rare regional Eupelmus have similar infuscation patterns, but the stigmal vein lacks such modifications.</p><p>Some regional Reikosiella males are similar to Merostenus males, having a similar head, antenna, fore wing, and a gracile body, but can be separated based on differences in structure of the metapleuron and mesepimeron using the key given by Gibson (1995). Merostenus males are also easily recognized and separated from all known Palaearctic Reikosiella males by color of the metasoma and fore wings. In Merostenus, Mt2 is contrastingly darkyellow to pale brownish and the fore wing is slightly and uniformly infuscated (Fig. 44), whereas Reikosiella males have the metasoma uniformly colored and the fore wing clear. Gibson (1995) was not very sure of the constancy of the presence of a shallow depression at the apex of the interantennal area in Merostenus males, but examination of about twenty uncollapsed, chemically dried specimens from Romania and Greece (AICF) showed the presence of at least a hint of this depression in all specimens (usually it is well visible) (Fig. 43); a short subocellar sulcus is also present in all specimens. Reikosiella males can be separated from Eupelmus males, especially those of E. ( Macroneura) with a similarly gracile body and gracile-filiform flagellum, using features of the antenna, head, fore wing setation, and shape of the gaster. Regional males of Eupelmus have a row of long erect setae on the pedicel ventrally (except for most E. ( Episolindelia) species), segments of the antennal funicle abut, the lower gena has one longer seta and sometimes additional long, curved setae on the lower face above the malar sulcus (with a few exceptions), the fore wing has a speculum, and the metasoma has a wide base. Males of Palaearctic Reikosiella have varied antennal structures but the pedicel ventrally lacks a row of long erect setae. Usually also the flagellum is gracile-filiform with the funicle segments separated by short petioles (e.g. Fig. 22) and covered with long, semierect setae (except males of R. koreana sp. nov.). Further, the lower gena has subequally short setae. Males also have an elongate fore wing that is entirely, sparsely setose without a speculum and the gaster appears petiolate in dorsal view in three out of the five species for which males are known because the basal segment is compressed (e.g. Fig. 42). Reikosiella males from other regions usually have a small pit or shallow depression in the scrobal depression at the apex of the interantennal region (Gibson 1995), but this is absent from all but one Palaearctic species for which males are known.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2940879EFFFFFFAEFF6CFF7CFD87AA95	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

The female of Reikosiella andriescui closely resembles that of R. rostrata because of similar antennal structures, fore wing infuscation patterns and body color patterns. However, the female of R. andriescui is much more melanic with conspicuous bands on the fore wing, the metallic lustre on the mesosoma reduced essentially to a narrow, median purple line on the mesoscutum, the legs including tarsi mostly dark brown, and the antenna entirely brown. In R. rostrata, the fore wings have fuzzy infuscated areas, the mesosoma is widely bluishgreen with yellowish pleurae and the median depressed area of the mesoscutum extensively bluish-violet, at least the tarsi and apices of the mid and hind tibiae yellow and in most specimens the scape yellow. Females of the two species differ also in the length of the ovipositor sheath, which is longer in R. andriescui, and in sculpture of the scrobal depression and frontovertex. These are mostly smooth and mirror-like in R. rostrata, whereas in R. andriescui the frontovertex is conspicuously coriaceous-granular, though becoming imbricate-alutaceous toward the occipital area and upper limit of the scrobal depression, the latter with coriaceous-granular sculpture made of strong, shiny and smooth granule.</p><p>BIOLOGY. Unknown.</p><p>DISTRIBUTION. Canary Islands (Tenerife). The species seems to be very rare as I did not find a single specimen in the samples collected during a large biodiversity survey of the invertebrate species of La Palma (Domingo-Quero et al. 2003).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2940879EFFF9FFA2FF6CF8A9FE48AC9D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Females of Reikosiella bolivari most closely resemble that of R. graeca, both in color and antennal structure. Females of the two species are readily differentiated by setal pattern of the scutellum, which has at most 6 setae arranged in two parallel rows in R. bolivari and numerous setae arranged in a ribcage-like pattern in R. graeca . Also, the fore wing infuscation is more uniform in R. graeca, with dark bands reduced to spots, the basal cell is entirely and densely microsetose, and the stigmal vein has a very long uncus and strongly enlarged stigma.</p><p>FIGURES 17–22. 17–21 lateral Reikosiella (Hirticauda) Ƥ habitus: 17, R. rostrata . 18, R. hungarica . 19, R. bolivari . 20, R. tripotinorum . 21, R. graeca . 22, lateral Reikosiella tripotinorum 3 habitus.

Algeria (Kalina 1988); newly reported here for Spain and South France.</p><p>TAXONOMIC COMMENTS. Kalina (1988) described Eupelmus bolivari from a single female from Algeria and compared it with E. rostratus (= Reikosiella rostrata). I have not seen the holotype, but the original description along with the accompanying photographs and drawings in Kalina (1988) are sufficient to place the species in Reikosiella (Hirticauda) . I am quite confident that the specimens listed above belong to this species, or at least to an undescribed species closely related to R. bolivari . It is possible that the specimens mentioned from Madrid under Eupelmus rostratus by Askew and Nieves-Aldrey (2004) also belong here.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2940879EFFF4FFA1FF6CFB9DFB82AEBE	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Reikosiella hungarica is most similar to R. tripotinorum . Females of both species have similar fore wing, antennal and leg color pattern, except that in R. tripotinorum the scape is dirty yellowish, darkened along the dorsal and ventral edges, and in R. hungarica it is dark brown similar to the pedicel, F1 and F2. Females of the two species can be readily differentiated using body color pattern and ovipositor sheath length as given in the key.</p><p>The males of the two species are very similar and using available material I could not find any useful characters to separate them, except that R. tripotinorum males have a small shallow depression at the apex of interantennal region, which is absent from the available material of R. hungarica .</p><p>BIOLOGY. The holotype of Eupelmus hungaricus was collected from Salix cinerea L. ( Salicaceae) (Erdös, 1959). One specimen from France was also collected on Salix sp. and Askew et al. (2006) reared one specimen from sexual galls of Pediaspis aceris (Gmelin) ( Hymenoptera: Cynipidae).</p><p>DISTRIBUTION. This rare species was known previously from only six specimens: one from Hungary (Erdös 1959), one from Czech Republic (Bouček 1968), three from Spain (Askew &amp; Nieves-Aldrey 2004) and one from France (Askew et al. 2006).

Both sexes of R. koreana are very small, the males especially conspicuously dwarfed. Females have a mostly pale yellowish, translucent body with much reduced metallic lustre. The fore wing is narrow with comparatively long marginal setae and conspicuous setae on the marginal and postmarginal veins. The acropleural sulcus is completely obliterated anteriorly and visible only as a line of setae. Mt8 (syntergum) is covered by Mt7 up to the dorsally facing anal sclerite, similar to R. vanharteni, but in R. koreana the anal sclerite is displaced anteriorly so that the syntergum extends posteriorly to the emargination surrounding the anal sclerite as a gradually slopping, medially divided surface. Males have a fore wing setal pattern similar to females but a unique antenna, with all flagellomeres swollen dorsally at the base, and the swollen parts bearing vertices of unusually long setae directed dorsally and laterally.</p><p>BIOLOGY.

Females seem to vary considerably in color from those with the scape and sides of the mesosoma yellow to those with these parts pale brown to brown (scape brown only in one specimen from The Netherlands).</p><p>RECOGNITION. Both sexes of this very distinct species have an extremely elongate uncus, and females have a characteristic fore wing infuscation pattern and the mesosoma with yellow to brownish sides and a metallic dorsum. Females are most similar to the Canarian endemic R. andriescui, but the ranges of the two species likely do not overlap and females can be separated using body color and sculpture (scrobal depression mostly smooth in females of R. rostrata) as given in the key to females.</p><p>BIOLOGY. The syntypic series was reared in Austria from galls of Aphelonyx cerricola (Giraud), Andricus hartigi (Hartig), and A. coriarius (Hartig) (Ruschka 1921), whereas in Romania and Czech Republic it was reared from galls of Biorhiza pallida (Olivier) (Suciu 1961; Bouček 1968), and in Hungary from Synophrus politus Hartig and Aphelonyx cerricola (Melika et al. 2002) ( Hymenoptera: Cynipidae). Although the species has been reported several times from various cynipid galls on oak, Bouček (1977) presumed that the actual hosts are eggs of Orthoptera deposited on cynipid galls. There are two other records that cast doubt on R. rostrata as a parasitoid of cynipid gallmakers and suggest instead another host. In Hungary, it was reared from branches of Turkey oak and plum trees, supposedly parasitizing Eurytoma morio Boheman ( Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), a parasitoid of Scolytus rugulosus (Müller) ( Coleoptera: Curculionidae, Scolytinae) (Erdös 1960). One specimen from Romania was also reared from a dead Cornus mas branch in an oak forest (AICF). Species of Reikosiella with known biology are parasitoids of Lepidoptera larvae (Yoshimoto 1969; Gibson 1995) and it is possible that R. rostrata is a parasitoid of inquiline caterpillars in oak cynipid galls [e.g. Pammene amygdalana (Duponchel)] or some other Lepidoptera larvae associated with oak trees that pupate in hollow galls or under the bark. Suciu (1961) actually reared one specimen of R. rostrata from a large number of galls of Biorhiza pallida together with several moth specimens and Copidosoma truncatellum (Dalman) and C. terebrator Mayr ( Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), specialized parasitoids of Lepidoptera larvae.</p><p>DISTRIBUTION. Spain (Askew 1999; Askew &amp; Nieves-Aldrey 2000; Askew et al. 2001; Askew &amp; Nieves- Aldrey 2004), Germany (Vidal 2001), Austria (Ruschka 1921), Hungary (Erdös 1960; Melika et al. 2002), Czech Republic (Bouček 1968), Croatia, Montenegro (Bouček 1977), Romania (Suciu 1961; Andriescu 2003; Fusu 2008). Here newly reported for The Netherlands, France and Greece.</p><p>TAXONOMIC COMMENTS. The syntypes of Eupelmus rostratus are represented by 6 females and one male, all minuten pin-mounted to separate pith blocks. One female (Fig. 41) has a lectotype label and the other 6 specimens have paralectotype labels by Zdenek Bouček (dated 1966). In order to preserve stability of nomenclature this previously unpublished lectotype designation is here validated. Ruschka (1921) stated that this species has affinities with both the urozonus species group (i.e. subgenus Eupelmus sensu Gibson, 1995) and the vesicularis species group (i.e. subgenus Macroneura sensu Gibson, 1995) but also some characters of Anastatus . He also suggested that it would be better to create a new genus for it, though he didn’t. A cytogenetic study of several Eupelminae genera has shown that E. rostratus has a different karyotype than Eupelmus species, but similar to Merostenus excavatus (Dalman) (Fig. 2 a, b in Fusu 2008). Fusu (2008) also suggested that E. rostratus belongs to Reikosiella but did not formally propose a new combination pending a comprehensive revision of the genus. Gibson (1995) proposed that recognition of Merostenus as a separate genus could render Reikosiella paraphyletic, and this might explain the similarities in the chromosome complements of the two genera.</p><p>Askew &amp; Nieves Aldrey (2000, 2004) treated this species in Eupelmus in the last published taxonomic work on European species of the genus, but several characters place it in Reikosiella (Hirticauda) . Though the flagellum is uniformly dark without white segments, the head in lateral view has the upper face under an angle with the lower face (lower parascrobal area and interantennal prominence protruding) and the scrobal depression is broad, shallow and extends to the inner orbits so that a differentiated parascrobal region is virtually absent; the fore wing is clearly elongate, with the marginal vein much longer than the costal cell and without a linea calva; and Mt7 (segment with spiracles) entire and not concealed under Mt6.</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/2940879EFFEAFFB1FF6CF8ADFD3DAE6E	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
