De petite taille (1 cm), il peut facilement passer inaperçu. Aussi, c’est sa morphologie très particulière (fig. 1 et 2) qui a attiré mon attention. L’espèce se sépare facilement de Leucospis gigas Fabricius, 1793 dont la présence est peu probable en Belgique (Baur & Amiet, 2000 ; Boucek, 1959 et 1974 ; Schmid-Egger, 1995). Dans l’avenir, une attention particulière sera portée à cette nouvelle espèce belge afin de tenter d’évaluer l’importance de sa présence dans le sud du Pays.

Changes in the Composition of the Bee Populations of the Mohelno Serpentine Steppe After 70 Years (Hymenoptera: Apiformes)
ACTA UNIVERSITATIS AGRICULTURAE ET SILVICULTURAE MENDELIANAE BRUNENSIS Volume LIX 37 Number 6, 2011 CHANGES IN THE COMPOSITION OF THE BEE POPULATIONS OF THE MOHELNO SERPENTINE STEPPE AFTER 70 YEARS (HYMENOPTERA: APIFORMES) A. Přidal, P. Veselý Received: June 30, 2011 Abstract PŘIDAL, A., VESELÝ, P.: Changes in the composition of the bee populations of the Mohelno Serpentine Steppe a er 70 years (Hymenoptera: Apiformes). Acta univ. agric. et silvic. Mendel. Brun., 2011, LIX, No. 6, pp. 291–312 Mohelno serpentine steppe (Mohelenská hadcová step) is a unique natural habitat of European importance. Since its last apidologic proper survey passed about 70 years. The objective of this work was to summarize the results of the apidological survey performed in the national nature reserve Mohelno Serpentine Steppe in a period of 2010–2011, characterize current changes in the composition of bee populations and propose recommendations for the management of this nature reserve. The survey was performed within 20 days and includes a total of 91 hours of observations in the fi eld with exact records of survey localization and weather. A total of 2705 bee individuals were caught using an insect net and examined. 71 to 276 bee individuals were identifi ed on individual days of monitoring. The bee density varied in a range of 18.4–87.1 bees per hour of the pure time of sampling. A total of 176 bee species were identifi ed. 115 bee species from the original list of 232 bee species were confi rmed by this survey (50 %). Species that were not confi rmed could disappear as a result of changes which have occurred in the Steppe biotope over the past 40 years or their disappearance is generally associated with changes in the population of a particular species in Moravia. -
Appendix S4. the Tentorium and Its External Landmarks in the Chalcididae
Appendix S4 . The tentorium and its external landmarks in the Chalcididae This study is the first in the whole superfamily Chalcidoidea to investigate the tentorium as a phylogenetic character and to establish the connection between the inner skeleton of the cephalic capsule and its external landmarks on the back of the head. In this section, details are provided on the methodology used by GD to examine and code the different bridges. S4.1. Context Phylogenetic informativeness of the characters of the head capsule in Hymenoptera was recently highlighted (Vilhelmsen 2011; Burks & Heraty 2015; Zimmermann & Vilhelmsen 2016). However, interpretation is difficult and requires landmarks (Burks & Heraty, 2015). More precisely, the identity of the sclerotized structures between the occipital foramen and the oral fossa are still debated. Homology and nomenclature of these structures were established by Snodgrass (1928, 1942 and 1960) and reassessed by Vilhelmsen (1999) and Burks & Heraty (2015). These authors describe various types of ‘bridges’, such as postgenal, hypostomal and subforaminal bridges, according to the cephalic part – postgena or hypostoma – from which they putatively originate. In his phylogenetic analyses of the Chalcididae, Wijesekara (1997a & 1997b) used the back of the head – reduced to a single character – and distinguished an ‘hypostomal bridge’ and a ‘genal bridge’. The detailed examination of the back of the head in the Eurytomidae (Lotfalizadeh et al. 2007), probable sister group of the Chalcididae, provided useful characters for their phylogeny and prompted GD to also investigate these characters in the Chalcididae. Chalcididae exhibit variable and puzzling structures that may be phylogenetically informative but request a thorough identification of homologies among the subfamilies and more largely with other families of Chalcidoidea. -

Aculeate Bee and Wasp Survey Report 2015/16 for the Knepp Wildland Project
Aculeate bee and wasp survey report 2015/16 for the Knepp Wildland Project Thomas Wood and Dave Goulson School of Life Sciences, The University of Sussex, Falmer, BN1 9QG Methodology Aculeate bees and wasps were surveyed on the Knepp Castle Estate as part of their biodiversity monitoring programme during the 2015/2016 seasons. The southern block, comprising 473 hectares, was selected for the survey as it is the most extensively rewilded section of the estate. Nine areas were identified in the southern block and each one was surveyed by free searching for 20 minutes on each visit. Surveys were conducted on April 13th, June 3rd and June 30th in 2015 and May 20th, June 24th, July 20th, August 7th and August 12th in 2016. Survey results and species of note A total of 62 species of bee and 30 species of wasp were recorded during the survey. This total includes seven bee and four wasp species of national conservation importance (Table 1, Table 2). Rarity classifications come from Falk (1991) but have been modified by TW to take account of the major shifts in abundance that have occurred since the publication of this review. The important bee species were Andrena labiata, Ceratina cyanea, Lasioglossum puncticolle, Macropis europaea, Melitta leporina, Melitta tricincta and Sphecodes scabricollis. Both A. labiata and C. cyanea show no particular affinity for clay. Both forage from a wide variety of plants and are considered scarce nationally for historical reasons and for their restricted southern distribution. M. leporina and M. tricincta are both oligolectic bees, collecting pollen from one botanical family only. -
Specialized Bees Fail to Develop on Non- Host Pollen: Do Plants Chemically Protect Their Pollen?
1 SPECIALIZED BEES FAIL TO DEVELOP ON NON- HOST POLLEN: DO PLANTS CHEMICALLY PROTECT THEIR POLLEN? 1 CHRISTOPHE J. PRAZ,ANDREAS MU¨LLER, AND SILVIA DORN ETH Zurich, Institute of Plant Sciences, Applied Entomology, Schmelzbergstrasse 9/LFO, 8092 Zurich, Switzerland Abstract Bees require large amounts of pollen for their own reproduction. While several morphological flower traits are known to have evolved to protect plants against excessive pollen harvesting by bees, little is known on how selection to minimize pollen loss acts on the chemical composition of pollen. In this study, we traced the larval development of four solitary bee species, each specialized on a different pollen source, when reared on non-host pollen by transferring unhatched eggs of one species onto the pollen provisions of another species. Pollen diets of Asteraceae and Ranunculus (Ranunculaceae) proved to be inadequate for all bee species tested except those specialized on these plants. Further, pollen of Sinapis (Brassicaceae) and Echium (Boraginaceae) failed to support larval development in one bee species specialized on Campanula (Campanulaceae). Our results strongly suggest that pollen of these four taxonomic groups possess protective properties that hamper digestion and thus challenge the general view of pollen as an easy-to-use protein source for flower visitors. Keywords Apoidea; Asteraceae; bee–flower relationships; Echium; Megachilidae; oligolectic bees; pollenkit; pollination; Ranunculus; secondary compounds; Sinapis; toxic pollen.

Keys for identification to species of Leucospis known for Italy are given. Some morphological and biological notes about this family of Chalcidoidea are given. RIASSUNTO - Vengono fornite le tabelle di determinazione delle specie di Leu- cospididae presenti in Italia. Nella parte introduttiva sono riportati brevi cenni morfologici e biologici atti a definire le caratteristiche dei Calcidoidei in esame. INTRODUZIONE I Leucospididae sono una piccola famiglia di Imenotteri Calcidoidei a cui sono attribuiti quattro generi dei quali solo Leucospis è presente in Eu- ropa. Difficilmente mancano esemplari di Leucospididi nelle collezioni de- gli imenotterologi, trattandosi di Insetti vistosi e presenti in molti ambienti, ove volano sui fiori alla ricerca di nettare per nutrirsi oppure di Aculeati da parassitizzare. Di norma preferiscono ambienti caldi e secchi. Onde predisporre un lavoro aggiornato, sono stati utilizzati sia i dati de- sunti dalla bibliografia sia quelli ricavati dallo studio della mia collezione e delle collezioni di numerosi Musei italiani e del Dipartimento di Entomolo- gia e Zoologia applicate all’Ambiente “Carlo Vidano” dell’Università di Torino. I reperti raccolti o controllati personalmente sono segnalati con un punto esclamativo (!) oppure sono citati con i dati di cattura. * Dipartimento di Entomologia e Zoologia Applicate all’Ambiente “Carlo Vidano”, Università degli Studi di Torino, via L. da Vinci 44 - 10095 Grugliasco 247 Leucospididae d’Italia e indagine sulla loro presenza in Piemonte (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) Genere Leucospis Fabricius, 1775 Imenotteri di dimensioni variabili da 2,5 a 16 mm, in media da 8 a 12 mm.
