The species aidalopezae and leonelgarayi (currently not Varlitinib cost assigned to any group), and the groups carlosrodriguezi and samarshalli, all comprise species that might be better placed in other genera in the future. For example, the samarshalli group clusters out of all other Apanteles species, strongly indicating (PP: 1.0 in the Bayesian analysis, Fig. 1) that its two species may best be placed in a (new) different genus. However, pending a comprehensive phylogenetic study of Microgastrinae, we decided that it is best to here describe all those species as belonging to Apanteles. The key to species groups separate those species in the first four couplets.Review of Apanteles sensu stricto (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae)…Key to the species-groups of Mesoamerican Apanteles [This section provides a key to all species-groups of Apanteles in Mesoamerica, including 30 species that could not be assigned to any current group and are keyed individually throughout the key.
