Comparatively smooth morphological transitions are traced from a Xiphydriidae-like ancestor toward Orussoidea via the Jurassic family Karatavitidae, and through Karatavitidae and the Jurassic and Early Cretaceous family Ephialtitidae independently to Stephanidae, to Evanioidea, and, via the extinct Jurassic Kuafuidae fam. nov. to the remaining Apocrita. New hypothesis is proposed concerning development of the characteristic wasp-waist of Apocrita, which is supposed to appear independently and in different ways in Evanioidea and in the rest of Apocrita. As a result, six infraorders are proposed for the suborder Vespina with the following taxonomic structure： infraorder Orussomorpha including the only superfamily Orussoidea （Karatavitidae ＋ Paroryssidae ＋ Orussidae）, infraorder Stephanomorpha with the only superfamily Stephanoidea （Ephialtitidae ＋ Stephanidae）, infraorder Evaniomorpha with the only superfamily Evanioidea of traditional composition, infraorder Ceraphronomorpha with the superfamih＇es Ceraphronoidea s. str. and monotypical Megalyroidea and Trigonaloidea, and the infraorders Proctotrupomorpha, Ichneumonomorpha, and Vespomorpha of traditional composition. The family Kuafuidae is unplaced to infraorder because it is putatively paraphyletic with respect to Ceraphronomorpha, Proctotrupomorpha, Ichneumonomorpha and Vespomorpha. Described as new are Karatavites junfengi sp. nov, Praeratavites wuhuaensis sp. nov., P. perspicuus sp. nov, Postxiphydria daohugouensis gen. et sp. nov., P. ningchengensis gen. et sp. nov., Postxiphydroides strenuus gen. et sp. nov., Praeratavitoides amabilis gen. et sp. nov., Proapocritus densipediculus sp. nov., P. sculptus sp. nov., P. longantennatus sp. nov., P. formosus sp. nov., P. atropus sp. nov., P. elegans sp. nov., Stephanogaster pristinus 展开更多

Totally 17 009 bp sequence was determined with an A＋T content of 83.81%, including full set of typical animal mitochondrial genes. Two protein-coding and 10 tRNA genes as well as the A＋T-rich region were rearranged compared with the putative ancestral arrangement of insects. Most of the rearranged genes were located in the ancestral region of trnl-trnQ-trnM-nad2-trn W-trnC-trn Y- coxl-trnL2. The other rearranged genes are trnN and trnS1 located in the tRNA cluster trnA- trnR-trnN-trnSl-trnE-trnF and trnS2 located between cob and nadl. Remote inversion is dominant rearrangement event in G. parvicollarium mitochondrial genome, involving two protein-coding and 8 tRNA genes. Compared with the other mitochondrial genome reported in the same genus of Gasteruption, the inverted trnN was translocated to the tRNA cluster between cox1 and nad2 in G. parvicollarium. This is the first report of mitochondrial gene rearrangement occurred within genus of Hymenoptera. Our study points to a recently occurred gene rearrangement event in the Gasteruption species.展开更多
