Abstract

The South American species of the genus Neralsia Cameron, 1883 (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae: Figitinae): a study of the type material The genus Neralsia Cameron, 1883, has an American distribution and it is present in both Neotropical and Nearctic regions. The present work is our first contribution to the taxonomy of this genus and deals with the 12 species of Neralsia described from South America. Of these, Neralsia fiebrigi Hedicke, 1914, Neralsia ciliatinervis (Kieffer, 1910) and Neralsia acuminata (Dettmer, 1932) have to be considered «incertae sedis». The synonymy of Neralsia splendens (Borgmeier, 1935) and N. fossulata (Kieffer, 1909) is established. The species Xyalophora albipennis Kieffer, 1909, is transferred to Neralsia as N. albipennis (Kieffer, 1909) n. comb. In conclusion, 8 of the 12 previously known species are considered valid: N. albipennis (Kieffer, 1909), N. bogotensis (Kieffer, 1909), N. claripennis (Dettmer, 1932), N. fossulata (Kieffer, 1909), N. flavidipennis (Kieffer, 1909), N. pilosa (Borgmeier, 1935), N. striaticeps (Kieffer, 1909) and N. suffecta (Dettmer, 1932). These species are redescribed here because the original descriptions generally have diagnostic deficiencies.
