European distribution of Parnopes grandior linsenmaieri Agnoli, 1995
Database of the Italian Chrysididae: HELP
The species report is structured in the following sections.
Images
Image(s) = picture of a typical adult specimen
(= habitus) and/or picture of a typical adult specimen in
nature.
Chorology = the map of the geographic distribution of the
species.
Map of Italy = the distribution
map of Italy, subdivided in its administrative regions, colored on the base of
the presence/absence of the species according to personal and bibliographical
data (see also the Italian
distribution detail).
Icons = links to external sites to search for the given
species, among forums (Chrysis.net, Forum Entomologi italiani, HymIS), other
textual resources (Google, Yandex) or images (Google Images, Flickr) and videos
(YouTube).
Systematic position
Subfamily & Tribe = systematic categories. The Subfamily is
a systematic category inferior to the Family (Chrysididae), including a
group of Tribes and Genera. The latin termination is -inae and requires
the capital letter. Example: Chrysidinae. The Tribe is
a systematic category inferior to the Subfamily (Chrysidinae),
including a group of Genera. The latin termination is -ini and requires
the capital letter. Example: Chrysidini.
Genus & species = systematic categories.
The Genus is a systematic category inferior to the Tribe,
including a group of closely related species. It's the first name of the
binomial (Genus and species) or trinomial (Genus and species and subspecies)
nomenclature introduced by Carolus Linnaeus in 18th century. It requires the
capital letter. It doesn't have a latin termination, but it's a latinized name.
Example: Chrysis, Elampus, Stilbum. The species is
a population of organisms whose members share a same series of morphologic
characters and are able to reproduce in nature only among themselves and produce
fertile offspring. The concept of species was established by Ernst Mayr in 1940.
The species is the fundamental category of the whole taxonomical hierarchy and
indicates the limit of the organisms able to reproduce. It is always written
with the low case. The species name, Latin or latinized, should match with the
Genus name. The subspecies is a systematic category inferior to
the species, indicating a group of organisms geographically isolated from the
other populations of the species and showing sometimes morphologic differences,
but anyway able to reproduce with the other specimens of the species when the
subspecific populations come to contact. Author and year indicate
the Author who firstly described the species through a paper published in a
given year.
Species group = it's a sub-aggregate of a Genus, including a
limited assemblage of closely associated species. It's sometimes used instead of
the Subgenus level.
Original combination = it's the way the species or the
subspecies was originally described by its Author, who decided to refer it to a
Genus (or a higher class) not necessarily conserved according to actual
interpretations.
Type series = lists the typical specimens (holotypus, allotypus,
paratypes, etc.) and the placement of the typical specimens in public (Mus. =
Museum) or private (Coll.) collections.
Original description = it's the text of the original description
of the species/subspecies from the Author, according to the original
publication.
Synonyms and subspecies = one or more names which have been
given to the same species by other Authors in time; the earliest name takes
generally priority.
Systematic notes = observations and comments on the systematics
of the taxon.
Size (mm) = size of the adult, in millimeters.
Geographic distribution
World distribution
Type locality = the location indicated for the typical series in
the original description.
Kimsey & Bohart = the locations indicated in: Kimsey L.S. &
Bohart R., 1991 - The Chrysidid wasps of the World. Oxford Press, 652 pp.
Linsenmaier = the locations indicated by Linsenmaier (various
years).
Other Authors = the locations indicated by other valued Authors.
Chorology = the known geographic distribution of the species,
described by a distribution pattern called chorological category. Examples:
W-Mediterranean distribution, Oriental distribution, etc. At present time a
chorologic classification of the Italian Chrysidids doesn't exist. Our suggestion is
based on the species listed by Rosa (2002, 2005, 2006).
Distribution notes = observations and comments on the world
distribution.
Italian distribution according to the Checklist of the species of the
Italian Fauna
The Checklist delle specie della fauna italiana reports the presence of the
species in four italian macro-regions (North, South, Sicily
and Sardinia), as decided by the Italian Checklist Commission.

Endemism = the term is used here to indicate that the species lives
only in Italy or in a specifica region/area of Italy.
Italian distribution by Administrative Region (Literature records, Personal
evidences and other sources)
Here you find the presence/absence of the species in
the different Administrative Regions of Italy (from North to South): Piemonte,
Valle d'Aosta, Lombardia, Trentino A.A., Veneto, Friuli V.G., Liguria, Emilia
Romagna, Toscana, Umbria, Marche, Lazio, Abruzzo, Molise, Campania, Puglia,
Basilicata, Calabria, Sicilia, Sardegna, including the following smaller
islands:
Sicilia: Is. Eolie (Stromboli, Panarea,
Alicudi, Filicudi, Salina, Lipari, Vulcano), Is. Egadi (Marettimo,
Favignana, Levanzo), Ustica, Pantelleria, Lampedusa.
Sardegna: Arcip. La Maddalena, Tavolara,
Asinara, San Pietro, Sant'Antioco.
The columns for presence/absence report the data drawn from:
the Literature (Literature records)

FEI and Personal records may contain unpublished data.
Distribution notes = observations and comments on the Italian
distribution.

Original description
Dimensioni (dal bordo anale alle mandibole chiuse, con il capo disteso in avanti): maschi 12.5-13.5 mm, femmine 13.0-13.5 mm. Corpo robusto, mediamente massiccio, come in grossi esemplari della forma tipica. Capo e torace di colore verde metallizzato, più chiaro che in P. grandior tipica; ridotti i riflessi di altri colori. Tergiti addominali (T-n) rossiccio scuro uniforme; assenti i riflessi iridescenti. T-I privo di colorazione metallizzata, proprio come in P. unicolor Grib. e diversamente da grandior tipica, la quale è caratterizzata da una fascia metallizzata di dimensioni, colore e forma variabili, ma in genere presente e del colore del torace. In alcuni esemplati sardi sussiste un residuo di tale colorazione, ridotto ad un annerimento di media estensione con la colorazione verde metallizzata limitata alle pareti interne dei pori della puntuazione. Mandibole massicce e scure. Proiezione metatoracica subtriangolare a lati irregolari, non chiaramente trilobata. Tegulae di alcuni maschi sardi con puntuazione più grossa e meno densa rispetto a maschi tipici di grandior tipica. Unghie dei tarsi anteriori di alcune femmine del colore dei tarsi stessi, senza l'annerimento progressivo verso l'apice osservabile in molte femmine tipiche. Femori medi e posteriori bruno scuro, tendente al nero. Pubescenza biancastra, più ridotta rispetto a grandior tipica, soprattutto nelle femmine sui lati dei tergiti addominali e nella cavità facciale e nei maschi sugli articoli del funicolo antennale (F-n). Rapporto tra F-l e F-2degli esemplari sardi molto simile al medesimo rapporto in esemplari tipici, e circa uguale a 2. Genitali maschili più grossi che in P. unicolor Grib. e notevolmente differenti; sostanzialmente simili a quelli di P. grandior (Pall.), o per lo meno riconducibili alla variabilità di questo carattere nella specie.
Synonyms and subspecies
Systematic notes
Described as a geographic subspecies of P. grandior, P. linsenmaieri is probably a distinct endemic population that replaces P. grandior in Sardinia.
