Phylogeny and classification of the tribe Deuterageniini (Hymenoptera, Pompilidae: Pepsinae).

Number: 254, Pages: 1 - 15

Phylogenetic analysis of 13 species from seven generic groups with genus Priocnemis as outgroup reveals the relationships: Priocnemis + < Stigmatodipogon + {( Deuteragenia + Mesagenia ) + <( Winnemanella + Nipponodipogon ) + ( Myrmecodipogon + Dipogon )>}>. A tree generated from 13 species of seven generic groups and Priocnemis as outgroup based on 24 characters by TNT (new technology search) yielded a length 69 steps, CI of 0.86, RI of 0.84. Deuteragenia + Mesagenia form joint cluster with one synapomorphy; other groups are monophyletic. New generic classification of the tribe Deuterageniini is proposed: Deuteragenia Šustera, 1912, stat. resurr. (= Mesagenia Haupt, 1959, syn. n.), Dipogon Fox, 1897, Myrmecodipogon Ishikawa, 1965, stat. n., Nipponodipogon Ishikawa, 1965, stat. n., Stigmatodipogon Ishikawa, 1965, stat. n., and Winnemanella Krombein, 1962, stat. n. A new synonymy is proposed for Deuteragenia bokhaica (Lelej, 1986), comb. n. (= Dipogon antropovi Lelej, 1995, syn. n.). A list of 81 species of tribe Deuterageniini by genera Deuteragenia (54 species), Dipogon (14), Myrmecodipogon (3), Nipponodipogon (6), Stigmatodipogon (3), Winnemanella (1) is given. A new combinations are proposed for 56 species. Key to the genera of the tribe Deuterageniini is given.
