Revision der von Ferdinand Rudow beschriebenen Ichneumonidae I. (Hymenoptera).

Abstract

Ferdinand Rudow (1840-1920) described 234 species and varieties in the family Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera), 167 of which are revised here (all except those described in the genera Pezolochus Förster and Pezomachus Gravenhorst). Nearly all of these taxa come from the Western Palaearctic Region, but one taxon is Nearctic (Ophion undulatus Gravenhorst var. giganteus) and another Neotropic (Crypturus gracilis). The types of 115 taxa were found in Rudow's collection in the Phyletic Museum in Jena, and for 92 taxa the lectotypes are designated. Two of these taxa turned out to belong to the Braconidae and Scelionidae, respectively (Aptesis macroptera, Aptesis unicolor). In six cases the types could not be identified with other described species. Of the 52 taxa not represented by types, 28 could be identified by help of other means (references in literature, Rudow's descriptions, non-types present in the collection), and 24 taxa remain nomina dubia. All in all 119 new synonyms are indicated. In 128 cases Rudow's species-group names were found to be junior synonyms and/or homonyms, whereas at present only 11 species-group names given by Rudow are considered to be valid names for known species or subspecies. A number of peculiarities of Rudow's work and collection are pointed out.
