Data from: A revision of Evaniscus (Hymenoptera, Evaniidae) using ontology-based semantic phenotype annotation

The Neotropical evaniid genus Evaniscus Szépligeti currently includes six species. Two new species are described, Evaniscus lansdownei Mullins, sp. n. from Colombia and Brazil and Evaniscus rafaeli Kawada, sp. n. from Brazil. Evaniscus sulcigenis Roman, syn. n., is synonymized under Evaniscus rufithorax Enderlein. An identification key to species of Evaniscus is provided. Thirty-five parsimony informative morphological characters are analyzed for six ingroup and four outgroup taxa. A topology resulting in a monophyletic Evaniscus is presented with Evaniscus tibialis and Evaniscus rafaeli as sister to the remaining Evaniscus species. The Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology and other relevant biomedical ontologies are employed to create semantic phenotype statements in Entity-Quality (EQ) format for species descriptions. This approach is an early effort to formalize species descriptions and to make descriptive data available to other domains.

当前，新热带区旗腹姬蜂科（Evaniidae）Evaniscus Szépligeti属共计6个已知物种。本文记述2个新种：产自哥伦比亚与巴西的Evaniscus lansdownei Mullins, sp. n.，以及产自巴西的Evaniscus rafaeli Kawada, sp. n.。本文将Evaniscus sulcigenis Roman建立为Evaniscus rufithorax Enderlein的新异名（syn. n.）。文中提供了Evaniscus属物种的分类检索表。研究选取35个简约信息形态特征，针对6个内类群与4个外类群类群开展系统发育分析。系统发育拓扑结构显示Evaniscus属为单系群，其中Evaniscus tibialis与Evaniscus rafaeli构成姊妹群，与该属其余物种互为姐妹支。本研究采用膜翅目解剖学本体（Hymenoptera Anatomy Ontology）及其他相关生物医学本体，为物种描述构建了实体-属性（Entity-Quality, EQ）格式的语义表型陈述。该方法是实现物种描述形式化、并将描述性数据开放至其他研究领域的早期探索。
