Conura xanthostigma (Dalman, 1820) new to the Polish fauna with new records of some chalcid wasps previously recorded in Poland (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Chalcididae)

Abstract

Conura xanthostigma (Dalman, 1820) new to the Polish fauna with new records of some chalcid wasps previously recorded in Poland (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea, Chalcididae). The Chalcididae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) is one of the smallest chalcid wasp families in the Polish fauna as far as the number of recorded species. So far, the occurrence of twelve species has been documented. So far, all the species are known from only a few localities in the country. In the present study the list is updated with another taxon, namely Conura xanthostigma (Dalman, 1820). Also, new localities are presented for the following species: Brachymeria femorata (Panzer, 1801), Brachymeria minuta (Linnaeus, 1767), Brachymeria parvula (Walker, 1834), Brachymeria tibialis (Walker, 1834), Chalcis biguttata Spinola, 1808, Chalcis sispes (Linnaeus, 1761), Haltichella rufipes (Olivier, 1791), and Hockeria bifasciata Walker, 1834
