Description

This work presents the revision of twelve species of the superfamily of Chalcidoidea (Insecta: Hymenoptera) deposited in the National Museum of Natural History, Scientific Institute, Rabat, Morocco. Data on biology and hosts of these species are given and a map of their distribution in the North Africa region is provided.

Sampling Description

Study Extent

The list below includes data on the species of Chalcidoidea from Morocco deposited at the NMNH–SI and classified by family, subfamily, tribe (where it exists), genus and species.

Sampling

After revising the specimens from the NMNH–SI collection we identified 12 species in 9 genera and 5 families: Chalcididae (5 species), Encyrtidae (1 species), Leucospidae (3 species), Megastigmidae (1 species) and Pteromalidae (2 species).

Quality Control

Each specimen was examined morphologically in detail with a Stereomicroscope Olympus SZX16

Method steps

  1. Each specimen was identified by consulting specific and appropriate determination keys: Cresson (1972); Crawford (1910); Bouček (1952); Steffan (1950, 1959); Delvare (1992); Delvare and Bouček (1992); Baugnée and Vago (2006); Delvare et al. (2011); Lotfalizadeh et al. (2012); Toheed et al. (2018); Bouček (1974); Rizzo and Mitroiu (2010); Doğanlar (2011); Delvare and Huchet (2017); Janšta et al. (2017); Cruaud et al. (2019); Cruaud et al. (2020).
