摘要: 膜翅目昆虫是动物界中类群最为庞大和生态功能最为多样的重要类群之一, 在维持生态系统稳定性和提供多种生态系统服务中发挥着核心作用。为了全面呈现2024年中国膜翅目新分类单元发表进展, 本文基于系统的数据库检索与文献整理, 对2024年全球新发表的现生膜翅目分类单元进行统计与分析。结果显示, 2024年全球共发表427篇相关研究论文, 建立1,420个新分类单元, 包括2个新亚科、36个新属、19个新亚属、1,362个新种和1个新亚种, 隶属18个总科、58个科和419个属。其中, 姬蜂总科、青蜂总科和胡蜂总科的新种数量最多, 分别占全球新种总数的28.5% (388/1,362)、18.1% (247/1,362)和16.1% (219/1,362)。在区域分布上, 亚洲仍是膜翅目新种发表的最重要来源地(45.7%, 622/1,362), 其中东亚贡献最高(20.5%, 279/1,362)。中国共发表新分类单元195个, 包括1个新属和194个新种。新种数量位列全球首位, 占全球同期发表新种总数的14.3%, 隶属于11个总科、26个科和81个属。中国发表的新种主要集中于胡蜂总科(30.8%, 60/195)、姬蜂总科(19.5%, 38/195)和小蜂总科(15.9%, 31/195)。此外, 中国学者还报道了9个新记录属和89个新记录种, 进一步丰富了区域膜翅目多样性资料。在发表载体方面, 2024年涉及现生膜翅目新分类单元的论文分布于100个期刊, 其中英文论文占绝对优势(96.7%, 413/427), 同时也包含少量中文及其他语种论文。全球共有509位学者参与命名, 其中中国学者108人, 占比21.2%。综上所述, 2024年全球膜翅目分类学研究继续呈现活跃态势, 中国在新分类单元的发表数量和命名人参与度方面均居于世界前列, 凸显了中国在膜翅目分类学研究和昆虫多样性保护中的重要学术力量, 这不仅反映了国内分类学研究能力的快速提升, 也为全球膜翅目多样性认识与保护提供了坚实的科学基础。

Abstract

Aim: The order Hymenoptera encompasses rich biodiversity and provides essential ecosystem services. This study aims to comprehensively present the progress in publishing new taxa of Chinese Hymenoptera in 2024, based on systematic database searches and literature compilation of newly described extant Hymenoptera taxa published globally in 2024. 

Methods: We obtained and analyzed a total of 427 journal publications on the new taxa of extant Hymenoptera in 2024 by searching the available zoological databases and conducting comprehensive literature compilation. 

Results: Across 427 journal articles, 1,420 new taxa were recognized, including 2 new subfamilies, 36 new genera, 19 new subgenera, 1,362 new species, and 1 new subspecies, spanning 18 superfamilies, 58 families, and 419 genera. The superfamilies Ichneumonoidea, Chrysidoidea, and Vespoidea display the highest number of new species, accounting for approximately 28.5% (388/1,362), 18.1% (247/1,362), and 16.1% (219/1,362) of the total new species, respectively. Regionally, Asia remains the most important source of newly described Hymenoptera species (45.7%, 622/1,362), with East Asia contributing the highest proportion (20.5%, 279/1,362). China published a total of 195 new taxa, including one new genus and 194 new species. With 194 new species, China ranked first globally, accounting for 14.3% of all newly described species worldwide. These new species belong to 11 superfamilies, 26 families, and 81 genera. Chinese new species were primarily concentrated in Vespoidea (30.8%, 60/195), Ichneumonoidea (19.5%, 38/195), and Chalcidoidea (15.9%, 31/195). Additionally, Chinese scholars reported 9 newly recorded genera and 89 newly recorded species. Papers were published in 100 journals, with English articles comprising 96.7% (413/427). A total of 509 scholars worldwide participated in species naming, including 108 Chinese scholars (21.2%). 

Conclusion: In summary, global Hymenoptera taxonomic research continued to demonstrate an active trend in 2024, with China ranking at the forefront worldwide in both new taxonomic unit publications and new species naming participation, highlighting China’s important academic strength in Hymenoptera taxonomic research and insect diversity conservation, and providing a solid scientific foundation for global Hymenoptera diversity understanding and conservation.
