Review of the European species of the genus Anagrus Haliday (Hymenoptera Chalcidoidea)

Abstract

The author has reviewed the European species of Anagrus Haliday genus.
The specimens of the Debauche, Soyka and Walker collections were examined together with other specimens collected by the author. A. nigriceps (Smits van Burgst), A. incarnatus fuscus Botoc and an unnamed species keyed by Graham (1982) were not studied and therefore not included in this review.
The genus is subdivided into 3 subgenera: Paranagrus Perkins, Anagrella Bakkendorf and Anagrus Haliday s. str .. This last subgenus is itself subdivided in 2 groups: the "atomus" and "incarnatus" species group.
Tue characters used in species descriptions are discussed.
The following species are considered to occur in Europe: A. arcuatus Soyka, A. avalae Soyka, A. bakkendorfi Soyka, A. breviphragma Soyka, A. brocheri Schultz, A. dilatatus Soyka, A. ensifer Debauche, A. fennicus Soyka, A. incarnatus Haliday, A. incarnatosimilis Soyka, A. obscurus Foerster sensu Soyka, A. obvius Soyka, A. similis Soyka, A. subfascus Foerster sensu Debauche, A. supremosimilis Soyka, A. ustulatus Haliday, A. valkenburgensis Soyka.
