The fauna of Scelionid wasps (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) from Western Iran (Ilam, Kermanshah, Kur- distan, Khuzestan and West Azarbaijan provinces) is studied in this paper. In total 18 species of 5 genera (Anteris Förster, 1856, Psix Kozlov et Le, 1976, Scelio Latreille, 1805, Telenomus Haliday, 1833 and Trissolcus Ashmead, 1893) were collected. Of these, Anteris simulans Kieffer, 1908 is new record for Iran. INTRODUCTION Scelionidae (Hymenoptera) are primary, solitary endoparasitoids of the eggs of insects from most major orders and occasionally of spider eggs (Masner 1995). Members of this large family are surprisingly diverse in appearance, depending on the shape and size of the host egg from which they emerged: cylindrical to depressed, elongate and spindle-shaped to short, squat and stocky (Kononova 1992, Masner 1993). All scelionid wasps are parasitoids of the eggs of other arthropods, that is, females lay their own eggs within the eggs of other species of insects or spiders. The wasp larva that hatches consumes the contents of the host egg and pupates within it.

  • A Short History Regarding the Taxonomy and Systematic Researches of Platygastroidea (Hymenoptera)

Carol I, nr. 11, 700506, Iasi, Romania. 2 Troldhøjvej 3, DK-3310 Ølsted, Denmark, e-mail: [email protected],dk Corresponding author: [email protected] This paper presents an overview of the most important and best-known works that were the subject of taxonomy or systematics Platygastroidea superfamily. The paper is divided into three parts. In the first part of the research surprised the early period can be placed throughout the XIXth century between Latreille and Dalla Torre. Before this period, references about platygastrids and scelionids were made by Linnaeus and Schrank, they are the ones who described the first platygastrid and scelionid respectively. In this the first period work entomologists as: Haliday, Westwood, Walker, Forster, Ashmead, Thomson, Howard, etc., the result of their work being the description of 699 scelionids species which are found quoted in Dalla Torre's catalogue. The second part of the paper is devoted to early 20th century. This vibrant work is marked by the work of two great entomologists: Kieffer and Dodd. In this period one publish the first and only global monograph of platygastrids and scelionids until now. In this monograph are twice the number of species than in Dalla Torre's catalogue which shows the magnitude of the systematic research of those moments. The third part of the paper refers to the late 20th and early 21st century.

    Phylogeny of the Hymenoptera: A cladistic reanalysis of Rasnitsyn's (1988) data FREDRIK RONQUIST,ALEXANDR P. RASNITSYN,ALAIN ROY,KATARINA ERIKSSON &MAGNUS LINDGREN Accepted: 26 April 1999 Ronquist, F., Rasnitsyn, A. P., Roy, A., Eriksson, K. & Lindgren, M. (1999) Phylogeny of the Hymenoptera: A cladistic reanalysis of Rasnitsyn's (1998) data. Ð Zoologica Scripta 28, 13±50. The hypothesis of higher-level relationships among extinct and extant hymenopterans presented by Rasnitsyn in 1988 is widely cited but the evidence has never been presented in the form of a character matrix or analysed cladistically. We review Rasnitsyn's morphological work and derive a character matrix for fossil and recent hymenopterans from it. Parsimony analyses of this matrix under equal weights and implied weights show that there is little support for Rasnitsyn's biphyletic hypothesis, postulating a sister-group relationship between tenthredinoids and macroxyelines. Instead, the data favour the conventional view that Hymenoptera excluding the Xyelidae are monophyletic. Higher- level symphytan relationships are well resolved and, except for the basal branchings, largely agree with the tree presented by Rasnitsyn. There is little convincing support for any major divisions of the Apocrita but the Microhymenoptera and the Ichneumonoidea + Aculeata appear as monophyletic groups in some analyses and require only a few extra steps in the others. The Evaniomorpha appear as a paraphyletic grade of basal apocritan lineages and enforcing monophyly of this grouping requires a considerable increase in tree length. The Ceraphronoidea are placed in the Proctotrupomorpha, close to Chalcidoidea and Platygastroidea. This signal is not entirely due to loss characters that may have evolved independently in these taxa in response to a general reduction in size.

Part II: Subfamilies Scelioninae, Teleasinae and Telenominae (Insecta: Hymenoptera) Michael MADL A b s t r a c t : In the Malagasy subregion the subfamily Scelioninae is represented by 30 genera and 128 species, the subfamily Teleasinae by two genera and three species and the subfamily Telenominae by three genera and 19 species. K e y w o r d s : Platygastridae, Scelioninae, Teleasinae, Telenominae, catalogue, Malagasy subregion. Introduction MADL (2016) presented a catalogue of the subfamilies Platygastrinae and Sceliotrachelinae. The remaining three subfamilies of the family Platygastridae, Scelioninae, Teleasinae and Telenominae, are catalogued in this paper. Till know 30 genera and 128 species of Scelioninae, two genera and three species of Teleasinae and three genera and 19 species of Telenominae have been recorded from the Malagasy subregion. Worldwide Scelioninae are known as parasitoids of spiders (Araneae) and several insect orders (Embioptera, Hemiptera, Mantodea, Orthoptera). Teleasinae are parasitoids of Carabidae (Coleoptera). The hosts of Telenominae belong to several insect orders (Diptera, Hemiptera, Lepidoptera, Neuroptera). In the Malagasy subregion hosts records are scarce and mainly restricted to species of economic importance (Scelioninae, Telenominae). The hosts of Teleasinae are still unknown. How to use the catalogue The systematic part of the catalogue is organized alphabetically. Subgenera are in brackets. Misidentifications and synonyms are marked with an asterisk (*) and printing errors with an exclamation mark (!). Only genera described from the Malagasy subregion are mentioned under synonyms and the number of valid species is also restricted to the Malagasy subregion.
