Abstract
Three closely related species of the genus Probles Förster, P. fulgida sp. n., P. korusa sp. n. and P. rukora sp. n., belong to the subgenus Euporizon Horstmann and differ from other Palearctic species of the genus by a combination of long and apically weakly sinuate ovipositor and short temple. These three species are assigned to a newly designated fulgida species-group, and a portion of the key for identification of this species-group is provided. Based on the shape of the ovipositor apex, the fulgida species-group resemble members of the subgenus Microdiaparsis Horstmann but are distinct in having a much shorter temple.
Highlights
Probles is a predominantly Holarctic genus (Nearctic species are mostly undescribed) with about 44 species in the Palearctic region (Yu et al 2012) and some undescribed species in the Afrotropical and Oriental regions and Australia (Gauld 1984; Khalaim 2007b, 2011)
The Palearctic fauna of Probles is rather irregularly studied: West European species were revised by Horstmann (1971, 1981; Horstmann and Kolarov 1988), and Palearctic species of five small subgenera, Microdiaparsis Horstmann, Probles s. str., Rhynchoprobles Horstmann and Rugodiaparsis Horstmann, were reviewed in two papers by Khalaim (2003, 2007a), whereas the most species rich subgenus, Euporizon Horstmann, is virtually unstudied outside Europe
Six more undescribed species of Euporizon were reported from South Korea and Vietnam by Khalaim (2011)
