Engelb aNatural History Museum of Denmark, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark bDivision of Entomology (Paleoentomology), Natural History Museum and Department of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, 1501 Crestline Drive, Suite 140, University of Kansas, Lawrence KS 66045, USA *Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Published 17 December 2012 Abstract Sambia succinica gen. et sp.n. from Eocene Baltic amber is described and illustrated. 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.

  • New Records of Fanniidae and Muscidae (Diptera) from Lithuania

E-mail: 1 [email protected], 2 [email protected] Introduction Fanniidae and Muscidae are closely related families that chiefly are inhabitants of natural and semi-natural habitats and only a small part of them are adapted to cultural ecosystems. Nevertheless, several species belong even to the well known synanthropic forms that have a certain hygienic, medical and veterinary importance. Altogether 11 species of Fanniidae and 119 species of Muscidae were recently treated in the national checklist of flies and one additional publication (Pakalniškis et al. , 2006; Lutovinovas, 2008). Further faunistic news are presented herewith. Material and Methods The basic part of the material is deposited in the collection of the first author of this report and the extant of that in Kaunas T. Ivanauskas Zoological Museum (Lithuania). The material was collected in 1996–2008 episodically. Sweeping and Malaise traps were used in the field (in the state protected areas mainly), while less number of specimens were obtained from indoors in many places and by several collectors. The flies were identified using keys to the European species (Rozkošný et al., 1997; Gregor et al ., 2002). The list of Lithuanian species was compiled from two recent sources (Pakalniškis et al. , 2006; Lutovinovas, 2008). The taxonomy of both families follows Pont (2004).

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.

Croat., Vol. 15, No. 4., 189–201, Zagreb, 2006. During 2003, entomological investigations were carried out into the sawflies (Hymenoptera, Symphyta) of Kopa~ki rit Nature Park, supported by the Ministry of Culture, project Insect Re- search, and by the Ministry of Science, Education and Sports project Entomofauna of Kopa~ki rit. At three groups of stations: inundated, forest and open ground (a total of 8 stations) a total of 220 individuals were sampled selectively with a net and with sticky tablets. From this material, 73 species of sawfly were determined. There is a clear differentiation of the inundated area at which the presence of only 15 species was recorded, but with great abundance, 7 species being recorded only in such kind of habitat (they were recorded only in the inundated area). This investigation also demonstrated that the borderline area between forest and meadow was the best habitat for the sawfly. At this kind of station in Tikve{, the presence of 35 species was recorded. Key words: sawflies, Kopa~ki rit, biotic diversity Perovi}, F., Merdi}, E.
