Four species of the parasitoid wasp genus Anomalon Panzer are recorded for the first time in Peru – Anomalon cotoi Gauld & Bradshaw, 1997, Anomalon duniae Gauld & Bradshaw, 1997, Anomalon fuscipes (Cameron, 1886), and Anomalon sinuatum (Morley, 1912).

Keywords: Ichneumonoidea; Anomaloninae; taxonomy; wasps; new records; parasitoids.

Se registra por primera vez para Perú a cuatro especies de Anomalon – Anomalon cotoi Gauld & Bradshaw, 1997, Anomalon duniae Gauld & Bradshaw, 1997, Anomalon fuscipes (Cameron, 1886) and Anomalon sinuatum (Morley, 1912).

Palabras claves: Ichneumonoidea; Anomaloninae; taxonomía; avispas; nuevos registros; parasitoides.

The parasitoid wasp genus Anomalon Panzer is a diverse group with a cosmopolitan distribution, and is apparently most species-rich in tropical and subtropical regions (Gauld & Bradshaw 1997). Currently, 43 species are known from the Neotropical region but only two of them are registered from Peru — A. concolor (Szépligeti, 1906) and A. ejuncidum Say, 1835 (Rodriguez-Berrio et al. 2009; Yu et al. 2005). Individuals of the genus are collected frequently, even though no new records of species for the Peruvian fauna have been documented since Carrasco (1972).

The aim of the present note is to document the range extension of four species of Anomalon that are now known to occur within Peru. Specimens studied herein are deposited in the San Marcos Natural History Museum, Lima, Peru (MUSM) and the Entomological Museum Klaus Raven Buller, Lima, Peru (MEKRB), and were compared with type material from the Natural History Museum, London, United Kindgom (NHML).

Anomalon cotoi was only known to occur in Costa Rica where it is widespread, primarily in lowlands from sea level up to an elevation of about 800 meters, and very rarely higher (Gauld & Bradshaw 1997). In Peru, this species is the most common of the Anomalon observed. It is widespread, occurring mostly from sea level up to an elevation of about 800 meters, and rarely up to 1700 m. It was collected only on the eastern slopes of the Andes in Cusco, Junín, Loreto, Madre de Dios, Pasco, and Ucayali departments.

Anomalon duniae was only known to occur in Costa Rica where the majority of specimens were collected in middle elevation humid forest sites between 700 and 1600m (Gauld & Bradshaw 1997). In Peru the species was collected at higher elevations from 1300 up to 2400 m. Most of the specimens were collected in protected areas on the eastern slopes of the Andes.

Anomalon fuscipes was only collected in southern Mexico and southwards to Costa Rica. In Costa Rica it is widespread in disturbed habitats, from the lowlands up to about 1300 m (Gauld & Bradshaw, 1997). In Peru it was only collected on the eastern slopes of the Andes, in Amazonas, Cusco, Loreto, and Huánuco departments, and from the lowlands up to about 500 m.

Anomalon sinuatum is distributed in Brazil and Costa Rica (Gauld & Bradshaw 1997, Yu et al. 2005). In Costa Rica the great majority of specimens have been collected in dry forest ecosystems, from about sea-level up to 1500 m (Gauld & Bradshaw, 1997). In Peru it was only collected on the western slopes of the Andes, in Lima and Ica departments, in coastal desert environments from about sea level up to 500 m. Most of the individuals were collected using yellow pan traps.

This work was partly supported by a Natural History Museum 'Special Funds' grant awarded to Max Barclay, which enabled the first two authors to visit the collections of the NHML. Field collections were financed by San Marcos University, Peru (project No. 111001161), the Agencia Española de Cooperación Internacional para el Desarrollo (Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores y de Cooperación, Spain (Project A/013484/07), TRees- Perú, the Asociación de Ecosistemas Andinos, and the American Bird Conservancy (awarded to Jeferson Suarez), and an Agrocasa grant (awarded to Letty Salinas). Research permits were issued by the Ministry of Environment (Peru). This is a contribution of the Division of Entomology, University of Kansas Natural History Museum.
