Synoptic List of Symphyta(Hymenoptera) in Korea Journal of Species Research 8(1):1-96, 2019 Synoptic list of Symphyta (Hymenoptera) in Korea Jong-Wook Lee*, Jin-Kyung Choi and Bia Park Department of Life Sciences, Yeungnam University, Gyeongsan, 38541, Republic of Korea *Correspondent: [email protected] The suborder Symphyta comprises more than 8,000 described species worldwide, of which about 4,400 extant species are recorded from the Eastern Palaearctic. Symphyta can be easily distinguished from the suborder Apocrita by the abdomen, which is broadly joined to the thorax. The larvae of most species feed on herbaceous to woody. A list of the 418 described species of Symphyta in Korea is presented. The list is in taxonomic sequence by superfamily, family, subfamily and genus and includes 116 genera in 22 subfamilies, 12 families, and seven superfamilies. We provide the page reference of the original description of every species and genus listed, Korean name, host records, and all Korean records. The list also provides the distribution of all the species by country.

Abiinae is the second-largest subfamily in Cimbicidae, a small family of true sawflies (Tenthredinoidea). The subfamily is adequately defined, but the generic classification has been unstable. Currently, only two genera are regarded as valid: Abia Leach, 1817 and Allabia Semenov & Gussakovskij, 1937.

  • Alien and Invasive Species of Harmful Insects in Bosnia and Herzegovina
    Alien and invasive species of harmful insects in Bosnia and Herzegovina Mirza Dautbašić1,*, Osman Mujezinović1 1 Faculty of Forestry University in Sarajevo, Chair of Forest Protection, Urban Greenery and Wildlife and Hunting. Zagrebačka 20, 71000 Sarajevo * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract: An alien species – animal, plant or micro-organism – is one that has been introduced as a result of human activity to an area it could not have reached on its own. In cases where the foreign species expands in its new habitat, causing environmental and economic damage, then it is classified as invasive. The maturity of foreign species in the new area may also be influenced by climate changes. The detrimental effect of alien species is reflected in the reduction of biodiversity as well as plant vitality. A large number of alien species of insects are not harmful to plants in new habitats, but there are also those that cause catastrophic consequences to a significant extent. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of newly discovered species of insects in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The research area, for this work included forest and urban ecosystems in the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina.

It is apparently the first amber fossil that can be definitively assigned to Tenthredininae. It displays two diagnostic forewing characters for this subfamily: having a bend distally in vein R and the junctions of veins M and Rs + M with vein R being some distance from each other. The variance and possible transitions between the anal vein configurations among the genera in Tenthredininae is briefly discussed. Keywords amber inclusion, sawfly, Tertiary, Eocene, taxonomy Introduction Tenthredinidae is the largest family of non-apocritan Hymenoptera by far, comprising more than 5500 described species (Huber 2009; Taeger & Blank 2010). Together with five other families they comprise the Tenthredinoidea or true sawflies. The larvae of the members of the superfamily are all herbivores and most are external feeders on green parts of angiosperms; however, other host plants and feeding modes (e.g., leafrolling, leafmining, or galling in leaves, buds and shoots; see Nyman et al. 1998, 2000) do occur. Recent comprehensive treatments of the phylogeny of the basal hymenopteran lineages, while providing strong support for the Tenthredinoidea, have consistently failed to retrieve the Tenthredinidae as monophyletic (Vilhelmsen 2001; Schulmeister 2003; Ronquist et al.

Ent. 54 (1 /2), 2005 New data on the sawfly fauna of Corsica with the description of a new species Pontania cyrnea sp. n. (Hymenoptera, Symphyta) A. D. LISTON & J. SPÄTH Abstract Records of 38 taxa of Symphyta collected recently by the authors in Corsica are presented. 15 identified species are additions to the known Corsican fauna. Pontania cyrnea sp. n. is described and compared with the morphologically similar P. joergcnseni ENSLIN. The family Xyelidae is recorded for the first time on the island. A total of 71 symphytan species are now known from Corsica. Introduction CHEVIN (1999) published a list of 56 species of sawflies and other Symphyta (woodwasps, orus- sids) from Corsica. His paper is based mainly on material made available to him by specialists in other insect groups who have collected there. He also included data on specimens from Corsica in the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (Paris), and mentioned a few taxa already recorded in papers by other symphytologists. The island had previously been visited by a single sawfly specialist, who examined only the leaf-mining species (BUHR 1941). In spring 2004 the junior author stated his intent to collect Symphyta in Corsica.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES The overpopulation of any insect species in natural and semi-natural ecosystems can cause serious economic or environmental harm and can also have negative effect on the health of humans, animals or plants. This is especially true for some non-native species, when climatic factors and food sources are adequate and available, and natural enemies (predators, parasitoids, microorganisms) are only presented in a limited number or not presented at all in the new area, so their population can grow faster than in their native habitat. These non-native or introduced species that have become widespread are called invasive species. One of the earliest and perhaps the most known invasive species in our country is the phylloxera (Daktulosphaira vitifoliae) that destroyed most of the vineyards in Hungary.

  • Prioritising the Management of Invasive Non-Native Species
    PRIORITISING THE MANAGEMENT OF INVASIVE NON-NATIVE SPECIES Olaf Booy Thesis submitted to the School of Natural and Environmental Sciences in fulfilment for the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Newcastle University October 2019 Abstract Invasive non-native species (INNS) are a global threat to economies and biodiversity. With large numbers of species and limited resources, their management must be carefully prioritised; yet agreed methods to support prioritisation are lacking. Here, methods to support prioritisation based on species impacts, pathways of introduction and management feasibility were developed and tested. Results provide, for the first time, a comprehensive list of INNS in Great Britain (GB) based on the severity of their biodiversity impacts. This revealed that established vertebrates, aquatic species and non-European species caused greater impacts than other groups. These high impact groups increased as a proportion of all non-native species over time; yet overall the proportion of INNS in GB decreased. This was likely the result of lag in the detection of impact, suggesting that GB is suffering from invasion debt. Testing methods for ranking the importance of introduction pathways showed that methods incorporating impact, uncertainty and temporal trend performed better than methods based on counts of all species. Eradicating new and emerging species is one of the most effective management responses; however, practical methods to prioritise species based both on their risk and the feasibility of their eradication are lacking. A novel risk management method was developed and applied in GB and the EU to identify not only priority species for eradication and contingency planning, but also prevention and long term management.
