A checklist to the wasps of Peru (Hymenoptera, Aculeata)

Abstract

The first checklist to the 225 genera and 1169 reported species-group taxa of aculeate wasps of Peru is presented. The list is based on a literature survey and examination of Peruvian entomological collections and include locality references for each taxon. Bibliographic references for the identification of fami- lies, genera, and species are provided when available.The occurrence data are published in addition as downloadable files (doi: 10.3897/zookeys.15.196.app.2.ds, doi: 10.3897/zookeys.15.196.app.3.ds, and doi: 10.3897/zookeys.15.196.app.4.ds) and were uploaded onto GBIF infrastructure simultaneously with the publication process. The following new combinations are proposed: Ancistroceroides cirrifer comb. n. (Zavattari, 1912), Ancistrocerus epicus comb. n. (Zavattari, 1912), and Stenodynerus corallineipes comb. n. (Zavattari, 1912).
