Journal of Hymenoptera Research 31: 105-117. doi: 10.3897/JHR.31.3813 Abstract Apechthis cantika sp. n. (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) is described from the island of Sulawesi, Indonesia. This is the first known representative of the genus in Indonesia and also the southernmost record of Apech- this in the Oriental region, extending the known distribution far southwards. Discovery of a second yellow Apechthis in the Oriental region, following A. taiwana Uchida, suggests that the genus suddenly changes its body colour entirely from black to yellow towards the equator, independently in both the Oriental and Neotropical regions. The holotype of A. taiwana, apparently closely related to A. cantika sp. n., is also redescribed for comparison.

Individual species seem to have relatively wide distributions compared to related genera (e.g. Pimpla Fabricius, 1804, /toplectis Forster, 1869, and Xanthopimpla Saussure, 1892), whereas sympatric species are relatively fewer than other Pimplini. Spe- cies of Apechthis are known as solitary idiobiont endoparasitoids of lepidopteran pupae, including important forest and agricultural pests (Iwata 1961; Cole 1967; Wahl 1993). Body colouration, an important set of characters in morphological identification, also strongly relates to biological functions, such as thermoregulation, crypsis or warn- ing mimicry in bumblebees (Williams 2007). As seen in bumblebees, body colour pattern reflecting geographical region or environment also reflects phylogeny, in as- sociation with biogeography and biological functions. Body colour within Apechthis shows two patterns, i.e. predominantly black or yel- low, seemingly with some trend in its distribution. Most of the yellow species are found in the Neotropical region (Cresson 1865, 1870; Blanchard 1936) whereas in other regions, only one yellow species, A. taiwana Uchida, 1928, has been recorded from Southern China and Taiwan in the Oriental region (Uchida 1928). We expected that if Apecthis species were found in Southeast Asia, those species would be yellow. We had an opportunity to collect on Sulawesi Island, Indonesia in 2011, resulting in acquisition of an undescribed yellow Apechthis species (Figs 1-4), caught in a Malaise trap at c. 2000m elevation on Mt. Lompobattang (alt. 2,870m), southern Sulawesi. In this paper, we record this genus from Sulawesi Island for the first time, describe this new, yellow species as Apechthis cantika sp. n., and discuss the distribution of body colour trends and asymmetric numbers of hamuli in wings found in two Oriental spe- cies. The holotype of A. taiwana, apparently closely related to A. cantika sp. n., is also redescribed for comparison. Materials and methods Within range of vision, Mt. Lompobattang has been cultivated up to c. 1700m, coex- isting with natural forest, and has a meadow from c. 1800 to 1900m. ‘There is a huge cloud forest starting from c. 1900m with several creeks but seemingly fewer insects flying. We deployed Malaise traps at four altitudes each, such as 700, 1400, 1700 and 2000m, for about 40 days. Unfortunately, the traps at 700 and 1700m were stolen or destroyed by local people. The trap at 2000m, the only trap which caught A. cantika sp. n., had been deployed inside the cloud forest alongside the creek. Observation and drawings were made by stereomicroscope (Nikon SMZ800) and light microscope (Nikon eclipse 50i). Male terminalia were treated with 10% KOH at about 20°C for 24 hours then washed in distilled water and observed in 70% ethanol. Digital images were edited using Adobe Photoshop® CS3. Description of Apechthis cantika sp. n. from Sulawesi Is., Indonesia with redescription... 107 Morphological terminology mainly follows Gauld (1991). We referred to Snodgrass (1941) and Eady (1968) for male genitalia and microsculpture descriptions, respectively. The following abbreviations were used: minimum length of ocello-ocular line (OOL), minimum length of postocellar line (POL), maximum diameter of posterior lateral ocel- lus (OD), and character states of the holotype (HT). Ovipositor length is expressed as the length of the ovipositor sheaths (i.e. the length of the ovipositor beyond the hypopygium). The specimens examined in this study are deposited in the following collections: the Ehime University Museum, Matsuyama, Japan (EUM), the Kanagawa Prefectural Museum of Natural History (KPMNH), the Indonesian Institute of Sciences, Bogor, Indonesia (LIPI), and the Hokkaido University Museum, Sapporo, Japan (SEHU).

Paratypes: 1 female and 2 males, same data as holotype (1 male in LIPI; 1 female and 1 male in EUM). Distribution. Indonesia (Sulawesi). Etymology. The specific name is derived from the Indonesian word “cantik”, meaning “beautiful”. Remarks. ‘This species can easily be distinguished from most other Apechthis spe- cies by its yellow body without dark areas on the metasomal tergites (Figs 1-4), and from all yellow Neotropical species by the keel on the first metasomal tergite being strongly angulate in lateral view (Figs 1, 15 arrow) (weaker or not angulate in the Neo- tropical species). Although this species morphologically much resembles A. taiwana, it can be distinguished by the upper end of the epicnemial carina reaching the lower apex of the pronotum (Fig. 9) (in taiwana it extends dorsally, reaching the middle of the pronotum: Fig. 17), smoother metasomal tergites I and II (Figs 3, 14) (taiwana relatively densely punctate: Fig. 24), and the entirely yellow metasoma (Figs 1, 3) (taiwana with conspicuous black or brown areas: Figs 23, 24). This species is also the southernmost representative of Apechthis in the Oriental region.

Asymmetric numbers of hamuli in “left” and “right” wings were observed in two Ori- ental species, A. cantika sp. n. (LR: 1 female, holotype, asymmetry at a rate of 100%, see following description). But in two Palaearctic species collected from Ja- pan, A. capulifera (Kriechbaumer, 1887) (19 females and 9 males deposited in KPMNH, asymmetry at a rate of ca. 47%) and A. rufata (Gmelin, 1790) (18 females and 12 males deposited in KPMNH, asymmetry at a rate of ca. 47%), although asymmetric hamuli numbers are also found in approximately half of specimens, both the side of asymmetry and numbers of hamuli are unstable, not supporting the apparently stable asymmetry trend observed in the Oriental species, but based on small numbers of specimens. Apechthis taitwana Uchida, 1928 http://species-id.net/wiki/Apechthis_taiwana Figs 17, 23, 24 Apechthis taiwana Uchida, 1928: 49. Taiwatheronia mahasenae Sonan, 1936: 256. Remarks. Although this species also has a yellow body and is found in the Oriental re- gion, China and Taiwan (Yu et al. 2012), indicating a close relationship with A. cantika sp. n., published descriptions are unsatisfactory for identification and comparison with undescribed species. We thus redescribe the holotype of A. taiwana below. Redescription of holotype. Female: body 10.5 mm long, fore wing 10.0 mm long.

Specimen examined. Holotype (Fig. 25): Female, “Formosa, Kikuchi” (label 1), “Yakanron, 18/II. 1927” (label 2), “A. taiwana n.” (label 3), “Type Matsumura’ (label 4), apical parts of right antenna and left hind tarsus, and left fore wing lost (SEHU). Discussion In terms of body colour, Apechthis species show two conspicuous patterns, black or yellow (Figs 1-4). Although the black species usually have conspicuous yellow mark(s) on the mesoscutum and scutellum, there are no noticeable intermediate patterns be- tween basically yellow and black in any species. Black species are mainly Holarctic and Himalayan (Townes and Townes 1960; Gupta and Tiker 1966; Kasparyan 1973), ranging from the temperate to arctic regions, whereas yellow species, including A. can- tika sp. n., are Oriental (Uchida 1928) and Neotropical (Cresson 1865, 1870; Blan- chard 1936), ranging from the subtropical to tropical zones, with a trend more or less reflecting latitude (Fig. 26). The distribution of yellow Apechthis in the Oriental region extends much further south than previously recognised with the discovery of A. cantika sp. n. on Sulawesi, being the second yellow Apechthis in the Oriental region, along with A, taiwana (Fig. 23). Although the yellow species of the genus are biased obviously toward the tropical zone, they can easily be separated into Oriental and Neotropical groups by the shape of the keel on the first metasomal tergite, clearly reflecting biogeo- graphical regions. Several reasons for the change in colour pattern in Bombus Latreille, Figure 26. Distribution of predominantly black and predominantly yellow species of Apechthis at the country scale, based on Yu et al. (2012). Note that some countries or regions which have no recorded Ape- chthis are included in the distribution ranges for convenience, based on records from adjacent countries. Description of Apechthis cantika sp. n. from Sulawesi Is., Indonesia with redescription... 115 1802 (bumblebees, Apidae) ranging from paler to darker depending more or less on biogeography, are thermoregulation, in which the darkest bumblebees are associated primarily with the tropics, and crypsis in grasslands in which the palest bumblebees are associated with intermediate northern latitudes (Williams 2007). Although we do not know the reasons for the drastic change in colour suddenly from black to yellow in Apechthis (conceivably thermoregulation), because the direction of colour pattern is re- versed in Bombus and Apechthis, we could say at least that it would have occurred both in the Oriental and Neotropical regions independently (i.e. convergence). However, Dr Ilari Saaksjarvi (University of Turku) advised us that several undescribed species which do not obey this pattern have been found in the Neotropical region, making the discussion a little more complicated (Saaksjarvi pers. comm.). Therefore, a global-scale discussion of colour pattern in Apechthis should be advanced by future studies both in the Neotropical and Oriental regions.
