Dzhanokmenia Kostjukov, 1977

Tetrastichus (Dzhanokmenia) Kostjukov, 1977: 189 . Type-species: Tetrastichus bibikovae Dzhanokmen 1971 , by original designation; Kostjukov, 1978: 430 –467 (Key, in Russian).

Dzhanokmenia Kostjukov : Graham, 1991: 162 –163 (elevated to generic rank); Kostjukov, 1984: 3435 (key); Kostjukov, 2014: 84 (diagnosis); Kostjukov & Kosheleva, 2014: 160 (diagnosis); Kostjukov & Kosheleva, 2015: 451 (diagnosis).

Diagnosis. Antenna usually yellow or yellowish, with 1–3 anelli and 3-segmented clava. Mesosoma convex, pronotum very short, transverse; midlobe of mesoscutum about as long as broad, with distinct or weak median line and a single row of adnotaular setae on each side; scutellum with two distinct longitudinal submedian lines and two setae behind the middle; propodeum with median carina, without plica. Tegula yellow. Fore wing only 1.7–2.1× as long as broad, with marginal vein and stigmal vein very thick, apical margin without setae; submarginal vein with only one dorsal seta; marginal vein very short, much shorter than costal cell. Metasoma slightly shorter than, equal to, or longer than mesosoma; metasomal tergites with yellow areas or completely dark.

Distribution. Palearctic: China (Xinjiang) [new record], Kazakhstan, Russia, and Turkmenistan.

Hosts. Unknown.

Remarks. The 13 described world species of Dzhanokmenia are tabulated below along with their known distribution and habitat, and where type material is deposited. Species of Dzhanokmenia key to Baryscapus using the key to genera of Tetrastichinae by Graham (1991), but differ in the features included in the above diagnosis. Only some species of the evonymellae group of Baryscapus possess some of the diagnostic features of Dzhanokmenia . For example, the fore wings of B. embolicus (Kostjukov) and B. globosiclava Graham have one seta on the SV; the fore wings of B. elasmi (Graham) and B. tineivorus (Ferrière) lack marginal cilia apically, and B. evonymellae (Bouché) has a yellow subbasal transverse band or large spot on the metasoma. All above five species do not have other diagnostic features of the genus Dzhanokmenia . Furthermore, no species of Baryscapus has a venation as that of Dzhanokmenia . We therefore treat Dzhanokmenia as a valid genus distinct from Baryscapus .
