Abstract: This is the first report of two ectoparasitoid wasps, Elachertus inunctus (Nees, 1834) in Iran and Elachertus pulcher (Erdös, 1961) (Hym.: Eulophidae) in the world, that parasitize larvae of the tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta (Meyrick, 1917) (Lep.: Gelechiidae). The specimens were collected from tomato fields and greenhouses in Ahwaz, Khouzestan province (south west of Iran). Both species are new records for fauna of Iran. The knowledge about these parasitoids is still scanty. The potential of these parasitoids for biological control of T. absoluta in tomato fields and greenhouses should be investigated.

A cladistic analysis of known species of both Hemiptarsenus Westwood and Sympiesis Förster (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in Hungary was carried out based on 176 morphological characters from adults. Three most-parsi- monious trees (MPTs) were produced, strictly consensused, and rerooted. Monophyly of Sympiesis was sup- ported by all 3 MPTs. A review of the genera Hemiptarsenus Westwood and Sympiesis Förster was made based on the results of the cladistic analysis. Sympiesis petiolata was transferred into Hemiptarsenus.

  • A New Host Record of an Eulophine Parasitoid of the Genus Elasmus (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) from Karnataka, India
    224 Pantnagar Journal of Research [Vol. 17(3), September-December, 2019] A new host record of an eulophine parasitoid of the genus Elasmus (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) from Karnataka, India PUJA PANT, VISHAL KUMAR SUNAULLAH BHAT and SANDEEP KUMAR Department of Zoology, Kumaun University SSJ Campus, Almora (Uttarakhand) ABSTRACT: This study describes a new host record of an eulophine parasitoid of the genus Elasmus (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) from Karnataka that was reared from the larva of Banana skipper, Erionata torus (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae). The banana skipper or banana leaf-roller or red eye skipper, Erionota torus is a common banana pest in Southeast Asia. The larva causes considerable damage to foliage of banana by rolling the leaf while feeding on it. Elasmus brevicornis Gahan (Chalcidoidea: Eulophidae:Eulophinae) is redescribed and illustrated. Previously E. brevicornis has been reported from various lepidopteran pests including Erionata thrax L. although it is reported first time from E. torus. This offers new perspectives for the use of this parasitic wasp in biological control programmes against this destructive pest. Key words: Chalcidoidea, Eulohidae, Eulophinae, Elasmus brevicornis, Erionata torus, Hesperiidae Erionota torus Evans is a common banana pest described recorded in South Indian states leading to outbreaks by Evans in 1941 and the earlier geographical distribution mainly in Karnataka and Kerala (Jayanthi et al., 2015). records show that this skipper was originally reported The objectives of this study were to identify the collected from Southeast Asia, ranging from Sikkim to south China, Hymenopteran parasitoids of Erionata torus Burma, Malaya and Vietnam. In India, it is historically (Lepidoptera:Hesperiidae). Hymenopteran parasitoids known from the Himalaya east and southeast ward, and particularly are very important as biological control currently broke out in South India (Raju et al., 2015).

While similar to previously described Nearctic and Palearctic species, these new species comprise a distinct species group defined by a stronger transverse pronotal carina and smooth propodeal median panels.

  • Two Species of Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) New in Poland
    Entomological News 35 (2) 117–120 Poznań 2016 Two species of Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) new in Poland Paweł JAŁOSZYŃSKI Muzeum Przyrodnicze Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego, ul. Sienkiewicza 21, 50-335 Wrocław; e-mail: [email protected]. ABSTRACT: Two species of eulophid wasps are recorded from Poland for the first time: Horismenus specularis (ERDÖS) (Entedoninae) from Lower Silesia and Stenomesius rufescens WESTWOOD (Eulophinae) from the Eastern Beskidy Mts. Notes on key characters and illustrations of the recorded taxa are given. KEY WORDS: Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea, Eulophidae, Poland. Introduction Eulophidae is one of the largest families of Chalcidoidea. In Poland, 282 species have been recorded so far (WIŚNIOWSKI 1997); however, this group is poorly studied in our country, and contemporary faunistic studies provide data on its representatives sporadically (WIŚNIOWSKI 2007). Similarly to other minute Hymnopterans (Chalcidoidea, Platygastroidea, Ceraphronoidea, etc.), it results from little popularity of these insects among entomologists, consequent upon difficulties with species identification. Many Eulophidae representatives are parasitoids of insects that have a certain economic impact (e.g. crop pests), hence the fragmentary and dispersed data on some of Chalcidoidea can not only be found in the Polish faunistic literature, but also in studies concerning forestry or plant cultivation (np. BYSTROWSKI & all. 2008). 118 P. JAŁOSZYŃSKI Below, sites of two Eulophidae species, which have been hitherto not recorded from Poland, are provided. The two species were captured with a butterfly net.

Biodiversity Data Journal 4: e8013. doi: 10.3897/ BDJ.4.e8013 Abstract Background A revised checklist of the British and Irish Chalcidoidea and Mymarommatoidea substantially updates the previous comprehensive checklist, dating from 1978. Country level data (i.e. occurrence in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man) is reported where known. New information A total of 1754 British and Irish Chalcidoidea species represents a 22% increase on the number of British species known in 1978.

Journal of Hymenoptera Research 51: 101–158. doi: 10.3897/jhr.51.9296 Abstract The Swedish entomologist, Karl-Johan Hedqvist (1917–2009) described 261 species of insects, 260 spe- cies of Hymenoptera and one of Coleoptera, plus 72 genera and a small number of family-level taxa. These taxa are catalogued and the current depositories of the types are listed, as well as some brief notes on the history of the Hedqvist collection. We also discuss some issues that can arise when type-rich specimen collections are put on the commercial market. Keywords Chalcidoidea, Pteromalidae, Braconidae, Type catalogue Introduction Karl-Johan Hedqvist (1917–2009) was a well-known Swedish hymenopterist who published a large body of work in applied entomology, faunistics and systematics, with a special focus on Chalcidoidea (particularly Pteromalidae), but also dealing with all major groups of parasitoid Hymenoptera.
