Abstract

The species of Macroneura Walker are revised for America north of Mexico. Seven species are recognized, of which M. camptoptera, M. cerasma, M. chrysosinamora, and M. tanyaris are described as new; M. meteori (Gahan) is removed from synonymy with M. epicaste (Walker) and accorded specific status. Eupelmus melanderi Brues is synonymized with Eupelmus dryorhizoxeni Ashmead and the taxa are reassigned to Eupelmus Dalman from Macroneura. Diagnostic features are given to distinguish females and males of Macroneura from members of other eupelmine genera; putative phylogenetic relationships of Macroneura are discussed, and a key is presented to distinguish females and known males of the North American species.

Résumé

Les espèces de Macroneura Walker ont été révisées pour l’Amérique au nord du Mexique. Sept espèces ont été reconnues, dont M. camptoptera, M. cerasma, M. chrysosinamora, et M. tanyaris sont décrites comme espèces nouvelles; M. meteori (Gahan) est supprimée de la synonymie avec M. epicaste (Walker) et accordée l’état d’une espèce. Eupelmus melanderi Brues est donné état de synonymie avec Eupelmus dryorhizoxeni Ashmead et les taxa sont remis au genre Eupelmus Dalman au lieu du genre Macroneura. Les caractères diagnostiques sont décrits pour distinguer les femelles et les mâles de Macroneura des autres genres eupelmines; les relations phylogénétiques putatives de Macroneura sont discutées, et une clé est présentée pour distinguer les femelles des mâles connus des espèces de l’Amérique du nord.
