摘要

Parasitoid wasps account for a significant proportion of Germany’s insect fauna. Detailed and accurateknowledge on this fauna is crucial in order to conduct thorough studies in, for example, ecology and conservation, and toadequately meet the challenges related to the recently reported dramatic biodiversity loss. However, our knowledge onmany species-rich insect groups is error-prone and fragmentary. In this study, we evaluate our knowledge on the Germanfauna of Chalcidoidea, one of the most species-rich parasitoid wasps groups, for reliability and completeness. We showthat more than one third of the 1,939 recorded chalcidoid species are known only from a single citation/record, and usuallyrecords are neither detailed nor vouchered. More than two thirds of the species have never been taxonomically revised. Wealso found that there are 344 species recorded from neighboring countries of Germany which might also occur in Germany.In this study, we report the first records from Germany of Calosota aestivalis Curtis, 1836 (Chalcidoidea: Eupelmidae:Calosotinae) and Torymus cupreus (Spinola, 1808) (Chalcidoidea: Torymidae: Toryminae). Both records are the result ofclose collaboration between citizen scientists and professional entomologists, and both records include detailed collectinginformation, life images and voucher specimens. We note that such collaboration is very valuable to increase our knowledgeon previously widely neglected taxa. The necessary strategic goal of a well-known German insect fauna, however, willonly be achieved by strongly intensifying the research on biodiversity and taxonomy of all insect taxa.
