Talamas & M. Buffington / Journal of Hymenoptera Research 39: 99-117 (2014) Introduction The Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences serves as the repository for a large number of primary and secondary types of species described by the late Mikhail Ko- zlov. Recent travel to this museum to study Kozlov's primary types of Trissolcus Ashmead offered the opportunity to assess type material for all of Platygastroidea in the Zoological Institute, revealing that the classification for a modest number of taxa requires adjust- ment. Revisionary work on Trissolcus will occur in a future monograph, and we here treat Platygastroidea exclusive of this genus. For completeness, the holotypes of species subse- quently described by Peter Buhl in two of Kozlov's genera, Pyrgaspis and Anirama, were examined and Buhl's diagnostic characters are here photographically illustrated. Two of Kozlov's platygastrine genera, Pyrgaspsis and Stosta, were established for species with atypical shapes of the mesoscutellum, whereas these species otherwise fit easily into the broad concepts of Platygaster and Synopeas, respectively. Similarly, An- irama was described for a species in which the apical male antennomere is elongate and Criomica for a species with a slightly unusual head shape. Such description of genera for apomorphic species brings attention to unusual morphologies, but is detrimental to the construction of a natural classification if it renders other taxa polyphyletic. In our perspective, the most needed contribution to classification in the Pla- tygastrinae is detailed character analysis, evaluation of monophyly for existing genera, and placement of species into monophyletic species-groups. We do not consider the characters that Kozlov used to designate new platygastrine genera to indicate lineages separate from Platygaster and Synopeas, but they are potentially useful for species- group classification. It is our hope that the characters, treatments and illustrations presented here will contribute to this cause. Examination of Kozlov's specimens revealed him to be, in our opinion, a “splitter” as opposed to a “lumper,” that is, he tended not to treat morphological differences as intraspecific or intrageneric variation. A benefit of Kozlov's species concepts is that series identified by him are morphologically uniform. Because of this, we are confident that the paratypes and holotypes of Kozlov and Lé are conspecific. We here treat one of their species, Paridris macrurous, as a junior synonym of Paridris bispores based on a paratype specimen.

Triplehorn Insect Collection, Columbus, USA USNM = Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History, Washington DC, USA ZIN (ZMAS) = Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia ZMUC Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Copenhagen, Denmark Informatics Collection data for all specimens are available in the Hymenoptera Online Database (http://purl.oclc.org/NET/hymenoptera/hol) by entering the specimen identifier (CUID) in the search form. CUIDs for all specimens are presented in the material exam- ined section of each taxonomic treatment and may be identified as a collection coden fol- lowed by a number (note capitalization and the space that follows some acronyms). The locality data reported for primary types are not literal transcriptions of the labels: some abbreviations are expanded and additional data from the collectors may be included. Photography Images were produced using a Microvision Instruments imaging system with Carto- graph software, a Z16 Leica lens and a JVC KY-F75U digital camera. Single montage images were produced from image stacks with the program CombineZP. In some cases, multiple montaged images were stitched together in Photoshop to produce larger im- ages at high resolution and magnification. Full resolution images, and additional pho- tographs of the specimens treated here, are archived in the Hymenoptera Online Da- tabase (http://purl.oclc.org/NET/hymenoptera/specimage) and MorphBank (http:// www.morphbank.net).

Rajmohana and Veenakumari (2011) stated that the mesoscutellar spines of Dvivarnus punctatus differ from those of Gryonoides based on their location on the mesoscutellum. We agree, and more specifically, the mesoscutellar spines of Gryo- noides proximally abut the axillula and are derived at least in part from striations of the scutoscutellar sulcus (Fig. 5) whereas those of Dvivarnus are derived entirely from the mesoscutellar disc (Fig. 6). Rajmohana and Veenakumari asserted that the pres- ence of punctation throughout T3 is unique to D. agamades. This character is indeed rare among teleasines, but it may also be found in Trimorus (Fig. 4) and Xenomerus (X. spinosus Mik6é & Masner, X. comatus Miko & Masner) (Miké et al 2007). The biogeo- graphical records published by Rajmohana and Veekakumari (2011) led them to suggest that this species was limited to semi-arid habitats. A broader geographic sampling has revealed that this species also inhabits the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia. Updates to the Nomenclature of Platygastroidea in the Zoological Institute... 105 Platygastrinae Platygaster Latreille Anirama Kozlov, syn. n. http://bioguid.osu.edu/osuc_concepts:7822 Comments. Kozlov described Anirama as a genus separate from Platygaster because the apical antennomere of the male is elongate. There are otherwise no characters to indicate that this lineage is distinct from Platygaster and we consider this antennal morphology to be apomorphic within Platygaster.

Buhl (2007) used the the relative lengths of males antennomeres to distin- guish P semiclavata from P marikovskii: A10 as long as AG-A9 in P semiclavata and A10 twice as long as AG—A9 in P marikovskii.

The separation of Criomica from Platygaster was justified on the basis of the shape and proportions of the head. ‘The eyes are somewhat triangular, but otherwise the cephalic shape of Criomica is unremarkable.

Pyrgaspis Kozlov, syn. n. http://bioguid.osu.edu/osuc_concepts:7847 Comments. Kozlov considered Pyrgaspis to be closest to Synopeas, presumably because of the pointed mesoscutellum, and he separated these genera based on 108 E.J. Talamas & M.

Scale bars in millimeters. the orientation and height of the mesoscutellar spine. However, the widely sepa- rated lateral propodeal carinae (propodeal keels) (Fig.18) indicate that Pyrgaspis haloxylonomiae does not belong in or near Synopeas. In the context of the gamut of mesoscutellar morphology within Platygaster (Figs 19-24), the dorsally pointed mesoscutellum alone does not warrant placement in a separate genus. Evaluation of this character revealed that the mesoscutellar points in P haloxylonomyiae and P striativentris are formed by a carina on the posterior surface of this sclerite (Figs 18, 21-22, 25). Examination of Platygaster from the eastern United States yielded a specimen that has a similar, but more pronounced, carina on the posterior surface of the mesoscutellum which does not form a point dorsally (Fig. 26). The mesos- cutellum of this specimen also bears a character that is new to us, the posterolateral mesoscutellar carina (Figs 23-26).
