Contribution to the knowledge of Charipinae from Catalonia

Specimens of the subfamily Charipinae collected from different regions of Lleida and Tarragona have been studied. 16 different species have been identified, of which ten are new records from Spain: Alloxysta castanea (Hartig, 1841); Alloxysta circumscripta (Hartig, 1841); Alloxysta citripes (Thomson, 1862); Alloxysta flavicornis (Hartig, 1841); Alloxysta fuscicornis (Hartig, 1841); Alloxysta pusilla (Kieffer, 1902); Alloxysta tscheki (Giraud,1860); Phaenoglyphis longicornis (Hartig, 1840); Dilyta sinica Ferrer-Suay & Paretas Martínez (in Paretas-Martínez et al. , 2011) is cited for the first time from Europe; and Phaenoglyphis americana Baker, 1896 is cited from the first time in the Palaearctic region. Morphological features of identified species are presented and illustrated. New trophic relationships are also presented.
