Biodiversity Journal , 2017, 8 (2): 753–762 A report on two alien invasive species of the genus Sceliphron Klug, 1801 (Hymenoptera Sphecidae) from Sicily, with a brief faunistic update on the native species Giuseppe Fabrizio Turrisi 1,* & Giovanni Altadonna 2 1Via Cristoforo Colombo 8, 95030, Pedara, Catania, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] 2Contrada Filangeri s.n.c., Vill. Pistunina, 98125, Messina, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author ABSTRACT Two alien invasive species of the genus Sceliphron Klug, 1801 (Hymenoptera Sphecidae) were recently found in Sicily: S. caementarium (Drury, 1773) is recorded from Sicily (Messina province) for the first time; S. curvatum (F. Smith, 1870), previously recorded from Sicily only through generic data from literature and only one locality in a web forum of amateurs, is confirmed as definitely established in the Island. The Regional distribution of both alien species in Italy is revised based on data taken from literature and reliable reports from web forums. A brief faunistic account on the three native Sceliphron from Sicily is provided: S. destillatorium (Illiger, 1807) and S. spirifex (Linnaeus, 1758) are both new for the Aeolian Islands (respectively reported for Panarea and Vulcano).

Chasca Johnson & Musetti, new genus, is described, with two species: Chasca andina Musetti & Johnson, new species (type species, Chile) and C. gravis Musetti & Johnson, new species (Peru). The genus Tetraconus Szépligeti is treated as a junior synonym of Monomachus Klug (new synonymy), and its type species is transferred to Monomachus as M. mocsaryi (Szépligeti), new combination A phylogenetic analysis places Chasca and Mono- machus as sister-groups; within Monomachus, the three species of Australia and two species of New Guinea are basal, and the radiation of 21 species in tropical America and Valdivia is recovered as a monophyletic group. Key words: Hymenoptera, key, phylogeny, parasitoid Introduction The family Monomachidae (Hymenoptera: Diaprioidea) is a small group of parasitoid wasps with two recognized genera: Monomachus Klug and Tetraconus Szépligeti (Naumann 1985, Musetti & Johnson 2004). Adults are gen- erally small to medium-sized, and females are readily recognized by their elongate, loosely articulated, weakly sclerotized, and acuminate metasoma. -

First records of this species for Slovakia are presented. This sphecid wasp settled Europe in 1979 and has been spreading in all directions since that time. Presently, it is known from 12 European countries. The occurrence of this species in Slovakia and in the Czech Republic was for the first time confirmed in Devin (1997) and in Praha (2001), respectively. Recently, altogether 25 localities are known, 12 of which in the Czech Republic and 13 in Slovakia. The localities are situated in 8 squares in both countries. The biology of this species is also discussed and our results generally agree with the published data originating in other countries, e.g. India.

The 3rd European Workshop on Sea Buckthorn (EuroWorkS2014) was held in Naantali, Finland on 14th to 16th of October 2014 under the theme “Producing Sea Buckthorn of High Quality”. Conference concentrated on three topics that were recognized to be current under the theme: sea buckthorn fly, cultivation technology and standardization of sea buckthorn. A special attention was paid to sea buckthorn fly because of its rapid and destructive invasion to Europe. Protective measurements need to be studied fast to get this new pest under control. Also long-term strategies are needed in order to continue efficient berry production, also without pesti- cides. Dr. Ljubov Shamanskaja has a long research experience with sea buckthorn fly in Barnaul, Rus- sia, where the fly has been a problem over 20 years. -
Food Load Manipulation Ability Shapes Flight Morphology in Females Of
Polidori et al. Frontiers in Zoology 2013, 10:36 http://www.frontiersinzoology.com/content/10/1/36 RESEARCH Open Access Food load manipulation ability shapes flight morphology in females of central-place foraging Hymenoptera Carlo Polidori1*, Angelica Crottini2, Lidia Della Venezia3,5, Jesús Selfa4, Nicola Saino5 and Diego Rubolini5 Abstract Background: Ecological constraints related to foraging are expected to affect the evolution of morphological traits relevant to food capture, manipulation and transport. Females of central-place foraging Hymenoptera vary in their food load manipulation ability. Bees and social wasps modulate the amount of food taken per foraging trip (in terms of e.g. number of pollen grains or parts of prey), while solitary wasps carry exclusively entire prey items. We hypothesized that the foraging constraints acting on females of the latter species, imposed by the upper limit to the load size they are able to transport in flight, should promote the evolution of a greater load-lifting capacity and manoeuvrability, specifically in terms of greater flight muscle to body mass ratio and lower wing loading. Results: Our comparative study of 28 species confirms that, accounting for shared ancestry, female flight muscle ratio was significantly higher and wing loading lower in species taking entire prey compared to those that are able to modulate load size. Body mass had no effect on flight muscle ratio, though it strongly and negatively co-varied with wing loading. Across species, flight muscle ratio and wing loading were negatively correlated, suggesting coevolution of these traits. Conclusions: Natural selection has led to the coevolution of resource load manipulation ability and morphological traits affecting flying ability with additional loads in females of central-place foraging Hymenoptera. -

Box 374, 81000 Podgorica, Montenegro E-mail: [email protected] Abstract We reviewed the distribution of the two Asian species of the genus Sceliphron Klug, introduced into Europe in the late 1970s to early 1980s: S. (Hensenia) curvatum (Smith) and S. (Hensenia) deforme (Smith). Both species are routinely considered as invasive in Europe, but the status and effects of their (eventual) invasiveness are yet to be documented and evaluated. We had a focus on two areas, the Balkan Peninsula and European Russia, based principally on the study of specimens collected over the last 15 years, but we also reviewed the extensive published evidence (including some very important internet-based records), and for S. curvatum we provided a concise overview of the entire European range. -

Keywords alien, invasive species, Maltese Islands, mud-dauber Introduction Almost 300 species of Hymenoptera are recorded as alien in Europe (Rasplus et al. 2010). Most of these represent either parasitoid taxa (including several aphelinids, eu- lophids and braconids) of which the majority were deliberately introduced for the bio- logical control of agricultural pests, or invasive ants which were accidentally introduced.

Genomes of the Hymenoptera Abstract Hymenoptera is the second-most sequenced arthropod order, with 52 publically archived genomes (71 with ants, reviewed elsewhere), however these genomes do not capture the breadth of this very diverse order (Figure 1, Table 1). These sequenced genomes represent only 15 of the 97 extant families. Although at least 55 other genomes are in progress in an additional 11 families (see Table 2), stinging wasps represent 35 (67%) of the available and 42 (76%) of the in progress genomes. -

Later new data on the hover-flies of Kuril Islands was published (Mutin & Barkalov, 1997; Mutin, 1998, 1999) and totally 215 species was recorded from Kuril Archipelago including 185 species from Kunashir Island (Mutin, 2003). New records of hover-flies are given below. The present paper is based on the specimens collected in Kunashir Island by Yuri Sundukov (YS) and Larisa Sundukova (LS) in 2013–2014.
