We use an integrative taxonomic approach to revise the genus
Anisopteromalus. In particular, we apply multivariate ratio analysis
(MRA), a rather new statistical method based on principal component
analysis (PCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA), to numerous body
measurements and combine the data with those from our molecular analysis
of Cytb and ITS2 genetic markers (on a subset of species) and all
available published data on morphology, karyology, behavior, host
associations, and geographic distribution. We demonstrate that the
analysis of quantitative characters using MRA plays a major role for the
integration of name-bearing types and thus for the association of taxa
with names. Six species are recognized, of which two are new: A. cornis
Baur sp. n. and A. quinarius Gokhman & Baur sp. n. For
Anisopteromalus calandrae (Howard), a well-known, cosmopolitan parasitoid
of stored-product pests, we have selected a neotype to foster continuity
and stability in the application of this important name. The species was
sometimes confused with the related A. quinarius sp. n., another
cosmopolitan species that is frequently encountered in similar
environments. We also show that several species originally described or
later put under Anisopteromalus actually belong to different genera:
Cyrtoptyx camerunus (Risbec) comb. n.; Meraporus glaber (Szelényi) comb.
n.; Dinarmus schwenkei (Roomi, Khan & Khan) comb. n. Neocatolaccus
indicus Ayyar & Mani is confirmed as a junior synonym of Oxysychus
sphenopterae (Ferrière) syn. n. and Anisopteromalus calandrae brasiliensis
(Domenichini) stat. rev. must be considered as a valid but doubtful taxon.
