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.
