This study reviews 17 species of the Aphelinus mali-group worldwide, describing three new species from China. The research provides a revised key and molecular data for these parasitic wasps.

Area of Science:

  • Entomology
  • Hymenoptera taxonomy
  • Parasitic wasp research

Background:

  • The Aphelinus mali-group, a significant lineage of parasitic wasps, requires updated taxonomic understanding.
  • Previous research has not comprehensively reviewed the global diversity and specific Chinese fauna of this group.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To conduct a worldwide taxonomic review of the Aphelinus mali-group.
  • To describe three new species and provide updated information on five known species in China.
  • To develop a revised identification key for the mali-group.

Main Methods:

  • Morphological examination of Aphelinus specimens.
  • Description and illustration of new species.
  • DNA sequencing of the mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene.
  • Comparative analysis with existing taxonomic literature.

    • Main Results:

    • Seventeen species of the Aphelinus mali-group are reviewed globally.
    • Three new species are described: Aphelinus tuberocephalus, Aphelinus hainanensis, and Aphelinus ruellia.
    • Aphelinus coreae is reported as new to China.
    • A revised taxonomic key for the mali-group is presented.
    • Partial COI sequences were successfully obtained for four species.

    Conclusions:

    • This review significantly expands the known diversity of the Aphelinus mali-group, particularly within China.
    • The description of new species and updated taxonomic key facilitate accurate identification.
    • Molecular data provides a foundation for future phylogenetic studies of Aphelinus.
