| Popis: | During revision of the Asian genera of subfamily Doryctinae the holotype and additional material of Doryctes parvus Muesebeck, originally described from Puerto Rico (Muesebeck, 1941) and later recorded in several tropical or subtropical countries of the Old and New World (Shenefelt & Marsh, 1976; Belokobylskij et al., 2004) were studied. The careful examination of this species revealed several apomorphic characters which distinctly separate this taxon from related genera Doryctes Haliday (Muesebeck, 1941) and Ontsira Cameron (Belokobylskij, 1998). The Australian Doryctes laemosacci Nixon also shows its relation with D. parvus and additionally supports their distinct position as members of a new genus. A new genus Cryptontsira gen. n. is respectively described for these two species illustrated below. Doryctes parvus Muesebeck was originally described as a parasitoid of Dinoderus minutus (F.) (Bostrichidae), one from the most destructive and widespread insect bostrichids pest on felled culms and fi nished bamboo products (Muesebeck, 1941). In China, this species was reared from another widespread pest of bamboo stems in almost all bamboo-growing countries, D. japonicus Lesne, and in India, from Sinoxylon sp, infesting cotton starks. Australian D. laemosacci was reared from Laemosaccus sp. (Curculionidae). The nomenclature for wing venation is as defi ned by Belokobylskij & Tobias (1998). Following abbreviations for morphological structures are used: POL – postocellar line; OOL – ocular-ocellar line; Od – maximum diameter of lateral ocellus. The following acronyms are used: BMHN – The Natural History Museum (London, U.K.); MUNJ – Majo University (Nagoya, Japan); USNM – American Natural History Museum (Washington, U.S.A); ZISP – Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (St. Petersburg, Russia); ZJUH – Zhejiang University (Hangzhou, China). |
