03D387D8533DBF14FF54FA52FB252575.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Detailed studies have been conducted on T. punctata, a parasitoid of Drosophila, but very little is known about other species in the genus. Vet and van Alphen (1985) compared the searching behaviour of females of 32 alysiine species. They noted that T. punctata used their antennae to locate Drosophila larvae in fermenting fruit, while T. bicolor employed vibrotaxis when searching for Drosophilidae larvae in decaying plant materials and mushrooms. Carton et al. (1986), Hardy and Godfray (1990), van Lenteren (1976), and Bakker (1979) have also provided biological data for T. punctata. Tanycarpa punctata is a solitary endoparasitoid that oviposits into host larvae but remains as an egg or first instar until the host forms a puparium at which time the wasp feeds rapidly, kills the host, and emerges as an adult from the host puparium. Males from a given cohort emerge first and are polygynous, whereas females only mate once. Mating takes place soon after the female emerges, and males have elaborate courtship behaviour. This species is synovigenic, with potential lifetime fecundity of about 300 eggs.	en	Yao, Junli, Kula, Robert R., Wharton, Robert A., Chen, Jiahua (2015): Four new species of Tanycarpa (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae) from the Palaearctic Region and new records of species from China.

03D387D8533DBF14FF54FA52FB252575.taxon	discussion	Remarks. As noted by Wharton (2002), Tanycarpa is essentially an Alysia with an elongate stigma, making it difficult to characterize Alysia as monophyletic with respect to Tanycarpa. The gradual transition from a thickened stigma to a completely linear one has occurred repeatedly within Alysiini and can be seen most easily in Tanycarpa, Pentapleura Foerster, and several series of species currently placed in Aphaereta Foerster, Asobara Foerster and Phaenocarpa Foerster. Three of the species treated here (i. e., T. bicolor, T. gracilicornis, and T. mitis) were previously recorded from China by Chen and Wu (1994), and T. chors is newly recorded for China. There are three recognizable species groups within Tanycarpa; they have not been tested for monophyly. The first species group is characterized by long grooves on T 2. This group is referred to here as the punctata species group and includes the previously described species T. concreta, T. chors, T. perun Belokobylskij, T. punctata, and T. svarog. Tanycarpa lineata and T. areolata are also included in this group. Members of the other two species groups lack grooves on T 2 and are characterized by differences in the shape of the fore wing stigma. Tanycarpa bicolor and T. rufinotata form the bicolor species group, which is based on the broad and relatively short stigma (Fig. 6). See comments on these two species under the species treatment of T. bicolor below. All other Palaearctic species have a narrow pterostigma (Figs 13, 20, 28, 36); these are referred to here as the gracilicornis species group, which includes T. amplipennis (Foerster, 1862), T. dazhbog, T. gymnonotum, T. gracilicornis, T. gladius Chen and Wu, T. mitis, T. scabrator Chen and Wu, T. simargla Belokobylskij, T. similis, T. stribog and T. volch Belokobylskij. Tanycarpa perun is easily separated from other members of the punctata species group based on the grooves of T 2 close to one another at the base; the wide T 1 (see Belokobylskij 1998: plate 80, fig. 1), with T 1 L: T 1 AW = 1.20; and the propodeum almost entirely sculptured. The other species in this group have the grooves widely separated at the base, and the T 1 L: T 1 AW ratio is between 1.40 – 2.30. Tanycarpa perun, T. punctata and T. svarog all lack an areola on the propodeum; T. concreta has an areola with irregular ridges, and the other three species: T. areolata, T. chors, and T. lineata, all have a setose areola. Tanycarpa concreta and T. punctata are putatively closely related based on similar brownish color and the short T 1, but they differ in that T 1 L: T 1 AW is 1.70 for T. concreta and 1.40 for T. punctata, T 1 AW: T 1 BW is 1.50 for T. concreta and 1.90 for T. punctata; the propodeum of T. concreta has an areola, while T. punctata lacks an areola. Tanycarpa svarog has two characters unique to the punctata species group, with T 1 longitudinally rugose medially and the mesoscutal midpit small or absent. Diagnostic features for other members of this species group are noted in the species treatments below. The gracilicornis species group is the largest such group in Tanycarpa. Tanycarpa amplipennis is the most distinctive member, with a number of unique features to the gracilicornis species group besides the longer and narrow pterostigma. Notably, the temple is densely covered with white setae apically, and the propodeum is entirely or almost entirely irregularly and densely rugose-granular. Tanycarpa scabrator is the only species from China in which the face has a medial vertical ridge. Tanycarpa volch and T. simargla are similar to one another in that the face lacks a medial ridge, and the frons is entirely densely pubescent. Tanycarpa dazhbog has the frons glabrous as do most of the species in Tanycarpa; however, the base of T 2 is with sparse, shallow striae which is unique for the genus but differs from other genera with deep, more distinct striae. Tanycarpa gladius is also very distinctive because the apical three flagellomeres are moniliform, and the mesoscutal midpit is absent. Diagnostic features for other members of this species group are noted in the species treatments below.	en	Yao, Junli, Kula, Robert R., Wharton, Robert A., Chen, Jiahua (2015): Four new species of Tanycarpa (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae) from the Palaearctic Region and new records of species from China.

03D387D85338BF12FF54FBC6FEE624BC.taxon	discussion	Remarks. The most distinguishing feature of this species is the presence of tubercles on the posterior side of the head. Sexual dimorphism is evident among the specimens from China. The female mandible is shorter and broader than that of the male; the male propodeum has a complete median longitudinal carina that is present only in the basal 0.25 of the female. Tanycarpa bicolor and T. rufinotata are the sole members of the species group characterized by a relatively short, broad pterostigma. They are separated primarily by blunt tubercles on the head (present in T. bicolor, absent in T. rufinotata).	en	Yao, Junli, Kula, Robert R., Wharton, Robert A., Chen, Jiahua (2015): Four new species of Tanycarpa (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae) from the Palaearctic Region and new records of species from China.

03D387D8533ABF11FF54FF4BFEA9214F.taxon	discussion	Remarks. This species is newly recorded for China. The Chinese specimen closely matches the original description in Belokobylskij (1998) except for the mandible. In the specimen from China, the mandible is expanded dorsally (i. e., 1.60 × longer than wide), with the 2 nd tooth 1.20 × wider than long, the 1 st tooth much smaller, and a shallow indentation between tooth 1 and 2. The original description in Belokobylskij (1998) indicates the mandibles are not expanded dorsally (i. e., 1.80 – 2.00 × longer than wide), with the 1 st tooth large, rounded, and clearly separated by a deep notch from the relatively long, narrow 2 nd tooth. Tanycarpa chors is one of only five species thus far recorded from China with deep basal grooves on T 2. As indicated in the key above, T. chors is a much darker species than T. concreta. Tanycarpa chors appears to be most similar to T. lineata and T. areolata; all have a small and round mesoscutal midpit and T 1 1.70 – 2.00 × longer than wide. However, T. chors is more similar to T. areolata in that propodeum has a distinct longitudinal carina in the basal 1 / 3 (Fig. 27). Conversely, in T. lineata, the propodeum lacks a distinct longitudinal carina in the basal 1 / 3 (Fig. 35).	en	Yao, Junli, Kula, Robert R., Wharton, Robert A., Chen, Jiahua (2015): Four new species of Tanycarpa (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae) from the Palaearctic Region and new records of species from China.

Tanycarpa gracilicornis is widespread and is morphologically similar to T. mitis and T. similis based on the filiform apical three antennal flagellomeres and presence of a mesoscutal midpit. However, T. gracilicornis has 30 – 40 flagellomeres, T. mitis has 24 – 27 flagellomeres, and T. similis has 25 – 29 flagellomeres. As for T. mitis and T. similis, they are separated primarily using the median longitudinal ridge of the propodeum and the fore wing 2 nd submarginal cell. Tanycarpa mitis has a longitudinal ridge in the basal 1 / 3, and the 2 nd submarginal cell longer; T. similis lacks a longitudinal ridge, and the 2 nd submarginal cell is shorter. In T. gracilicornis the propodeum has a distinct longitudinal ridge in the basal 1 / 4 – 1 / 5, and the 2 nd submarginal cell is shorter as in T. similis.	en	Yao, Junli, Kula, Robert R., Wharton, Robert A., Chen, Jiahua (2015): Four new species of Tanycarpa (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae) from the Palaearctic Region and new records of species from China.

03D387D8533BBF1DFF54FA13FF4C2575.taxon	discussion	Remarks. Differences between the male and female are minor. In female specimens 2 CUb arises from the middle of the 1 st subdiscal cell; in the male it arises below the middle of 1 st subdiscal cell. In the male specimen, the 2 nd submarginal cell is more slender than in the female specimen. Tanycarpa stribog and T. gymnonotum are closest to each other morphologically in that the mesoscutum at most has sparse pubescence. The biggest differences are in T. stribog the mesoscutum has pubescence anteriorly and along the notauli lines, the propodeum has a clear longitudinal medial ridge, and T 1 is short; in T. gymnonotum the mesoscutum is smooth and setiferous (Fig. 11), the propodeum lacks a clear longitudinal ridge, and T 1 is longer.	en	Yao, Junli, Kula, Robert R., Wharton, Robert A., Chen, Jiahua (2015): Four new species of Tanycarpa (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae) from the Palaearctic Region and new records of species from China.
