Three new species of Tuberepyris Lanes et Azevedo (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae), with amended diagnosis of the genus.

Three new species of the Afrotropical Tuberepyris are described and illustrated, T. nihilus Azevedo et Mugrabi, sp. nov. (Madagascar), T. codex Azevedo et Mugrabi, sp. nov. (South Africa), and T. hamus Azevedo et Mugrabi, sp. nov. (Central African Republic). The male of Tuberepyris is described for the first time. T. basibrevis Lanes et Azevedo from Tanzania is evaluated and the genus is redefined. A key to species of Tuberepyris is provided.

Revision of Thai Dissomphalus Ashmead, 1893 (Hymenoptera, Bethylidae), with description of twenty four new species.

The Thai Dissomphalus classification is reviewed, and 29 species are recognized. Previously described species, D. browni Terayama, D. chiangmaiensis Terayama, and D. thaianus Terayama had their known distribution and taxonomic variations broadened. Dissomphalus wusheanus Terayama is newly recorded from Thailand. Twenty-four new species, D. epitus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. verus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. prilus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov.,D. daneus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. gabrus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. gionus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. cherrus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. julius Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. davus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. zethus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. hetus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. joelus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. nandus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. jubus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. kelsus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. turinus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. paulus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. barbus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. robus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. geanus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. magnetus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. lidinus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., D. mugrus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov. and D. ferrerus Mugrabi & Azevedo, sp. nov., are described and illustrated. A key to the males of Dissomphalus from the Oriental region is provided.

[The genera of Bethylidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) in four areas of Atlantic Rain Forest from Espírito Santo, Brazil]. / Os gêneros de Bethylidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) de quatro áreas de Mata Atlântica do Espírito Santo.

The generic richness and abundance of Bethylidae collected in four different hillside areas of Atlantic rain forest from Espírito Santo, Brazil were studied. The sites are Santa Maria de Jetibá (SMJ), Domingos Martins (DM), Pancas (P) and Atílio Vivacqua (AV). A total of 2,840 specimens of 12 genera were collected. Lepidosternopsis Ogloblin and Bakeriella Kieffer are first recorded from the State. Richness of taxa was calculated using first-order Jackknife richness with EstimateS program. Genera accumulation curves were ran to evaluate the samples. Abundance data were adjusted to the geometric distribution. Parameter k was used to compare areas. The generic profile was not equal for the sites we studied. The areas were considered disturbed. SMJ and DM presented genera richness bigger than in P and AV. The differences in the sites reflect the different preservation of each environment. Pseudisobrachium Kieffer and Dissomphalus Ashmead are most dominant genera in SMJ, DM and P, and Anisepyris Kieffer in AV. This study emphasizes the fact of Dissomphalus as the most abundant genus in rain forests. The generic profile found in AV is similar to that of some areas of Brazilian savannah.

Os gêneros de Bethylidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) de quatro áreas de Mata Atlântica do Espírito Santo / The genera of Bethylidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) in four areas of Atlantic Rain Forest from Espírito Santo, Brazil

Estudou-se a riqueza e abundância de gêneros de Bethylidae coletados em quatro áreas de mata de encosta da Mata Atlântica do Espírito Santo, com estados de preservação diferentes: Santa Maria de Jetibá (SMJ), Domingos Martins (DM), Pancas (P) e Atílio Vivácqua (AV). Foram coletados 2.840 espécimes alocados em 12 gêneros, sendo Lepidosternopsis Ogloblin e Bakeriella Kieffer citados pela primeira vez para esse estado. A riqueza dos táxons foi obtida através do procedimento Jackknife com auxílio do programa EstimateS. Curvas de acumulação de gêneros foram construídas para avaliar o esforço amostral. Os dados se ajustaram à distribuição geométrica e calculou-se o parâmetro k para comparar as localidades. O perfil genérico não foi equivalente em todas as localidades, e todas foram consideradas perturbadas. SMJ e DM apresentaram riqueza de gêneros maior em comparação com P e AV. As diferenças relatadas neste estudo para as áreas amostradas refletem o grau diferente de preservação das matas. Pseudisobrachium Kieffer e Dissomphalus Ashmead foram os gêneros mais abundantes em SMJ, DM e P e Anisepyris Kieffer em AV. Este estudo reforça o fato de Dissomphalus ser mais abundante em florestas tropicais úmidas e que o perfil genérico encontrado em AV assemelha-se a dados publicados para o cerrado.
