NOMENCLATURAL NOTES ON GENERA OF NORTH-AMERICAN EULOPHIDAE (HYMENOPTERA, CHALCIDOIDEA)

The systematic placement of the genera in the subfamilies Eulophinae a nd Euderinae of the Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) of North Am erica were reviewed. Two new genera are described: Cristelacher and Da syeulophus. Thirty genera are included in the Eulophinae and five in t he Euderinae. Four new generic synonymies are proposed in the Eulophin ae: Notanisomorpha Ashmead = Hemiptarsenus Thomson; Mirolynx Girault a nd Pseudolynx Girault = Aulogymnus Forster; Cirrospiloideus Ashmead = Elachertus Spinola. One new generic synonymy in the subfamily Entedoni nae is proposed: Aabacharis Schauff = Eprhopalotus Girault. Nine gener a are recorded from North America for the first time: Colpoclypeus Luc chese, Cristelacher Schauff and LaSalle, Gen. n., Dasyeulophus Schauff and LaSalle, Gen. n., Deutereulophus Schulz, Diglyphomorpha Ashmead, Euplectromorpha Girault, Notanisomorphella Girault, Platyplectrus Ferr iere, and Xanthellum Erdos & Nov. Thirty two new combinations are prop osed and a lectotype is designated for Cirrospiloideus playnotae. A ta ble of the genera of North American Eulophinae, with their current pla cement is given.
