Journal of Hymenoptera Research 65: 1–21. https://doi.org/10.3897/jhr.65.26645 Abstract Wasps of the genus Gasteruption are predator-inquilines of bees nesting in cavities in wood, stems, galls, and vertical soil surfaces. During studies of hymenopterans associated with reed galls caused by flies of the genus Lipara we recorded three species. We provide the evidence that a rare European species Gasteruption phragmiticola is a specialized predator-inquiline of an equally rare wetland bee Hylaeus pectoralis. Gasteruption nigrescens is a predator-inquiline of bees of the family Megachilidae, using the common bee Hoplitis leucomelana as the main host.

Feeding on Potentilla and Sanguisorba (Insecta, Hymenoptera, Argidae) from Japan Akihiko Shinohara1 and Hideho Hara2 1 Department of Zoology, National Museum of Nature and Science, 3–23–1 Hyakunin-cho, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, 169–0073 Japan E-mail: [email protected] 2 Hokkaido Forestry Research Institute, Koshunai, Bibai-shi, Hokkaido, 079–0198 Japan E-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new argid sawfly, Arge indicura, is described from Japan. It was identified with Arge nigrovaginata Malaise, 1931, described from the Russian Far East, for more than seven decades, but a recent examination of Malaise’s type material has revealed the misidentification. Previously unknown immature stages are described, new host plant records are given, and the distribution and life history are discussed based on the specimens examined and rearing experiments. The mostly greenish, solitary and cryptic larvae feed on the leaves of Potentilla and Sanguisorba (also Fra- garia and Duchesnea in the laboratory), all belonging to the clade Sanpotina of the Rosaceae. Arge indicura probably has three generations a year in the lowland of central Honshu. Key words : Argidae, Arge indicura, new species, Potentilla, Sanguisorba. In the course of our revisionary works on the Our examination of the holotype of Arge pa- sawfly genus Arge of Japan and adjacent regions, gana var. nigrovaginata has revealed that the we have found that the Japanese species previ- Japanese species does not belong to Malaise’s ously determined as Arge nigrovaginata Malaise, taxon.

  • A New Dipteran Parasitoid of Rose Sawfly from Turkey
    Kastamonu Uni., Orman Fakültesi Dergisi, 2018, 18 (3): 288-291 Research Article Kastamonu Univ., Journal of Forestry Faculty Doi:10.17475/kastorman.341693 A New Dipteran Parasitoid of Rose Sawfly from Turkey: Vibrissina turrita (Meigen, 1824) Yafes YILDIZ Bartın University, Faculty of Forestry, Bartın, 74100, TURKEY [email protected] Received Date: 04.10.2017 Accepted Date: 22.10.2018 Abstract Aim of study: The aim of this study was to determine the parasitoid species of, Arge ochropus (Gmelin, 1790), which is an important pest of culture and wild roses. Area of study: Arge ochropus larvae were collected from Rosa canina in Bartın province. Material and Methods: Larvae collecting damages on Rosa canina species, which are distributed in different localities and were brought to the laboratory. Observations were continued and photographed under a microscope. Main results: Arge ochropus (Gmelin, 1790) is a significant pest of cultivated and wild roses in Turkey. Leaf surface is consumed as a result of intense damage of larvae and this affects growth and blooming in the plant. It was observed that the larvae collected from the field were infected by a new parasitoid in the laboratory. This tachinid parasitoid was defined as Vibrissina turrita. Research highlights: Vibrissina turrita (Meigen, 1824) was detected in Turkey as a Tachinidae fauna and Arge ochropus parasitoid for the first time in this study. Keywords: Vibrissina turrita, new record, Tachinidae, parasitoid, Arge ochropus, Turkey Türkiye’ den Gül Yaprak Arısının Yeni Bir Parazitoiti: Vibrissina turrita (Meigen, 1824) Öz Çalışmanın amacı: Kültür ve yabani güllerin önemli zararlısı Arge ochropus (Gmelin, 1790) yaprak arısının, parazitoid türünün tespiti amaçlanmıştır.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
    NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).
