Stenodynerus trotzinai (Morawitz, 1895) and Antepipona dentella Gusenleitner, 1991 are new records for the Turkish fauna. With these 2 additions and the data from previous studies, a total of 298 species and subspecies from 53 genera belonging to 4 subfamilies, Vespinae, Polistinae, Eumeninae, and Masarinae, of the family Vespidae have now been recorded from Turkey. Among them, the type localities of 3 genera, 71 species, and 16 subspecies of Vespidae are situated in Turkey. Separately, 65 species and subspecies are considered to be endemic. In addition, new localities were found for some species and subspecies that have already been reported from Turkey. Furthermore, the authors present an updated checklist of the Turkish fauna of Vespidae.

As a result, the total number of species and Polistinae, Stenogastrinae, and Vespinae (Pickett subspecies recorded from Turkey to date is raised and Carpenter, 2010). Most species are solitary, but to 298, belonging to 53 genera from 4 subfamilies, many are social. In solitary species the larva is usually Vespinae, Polistinae, Eumeninae, and Masarinae. predatory on other insects, particularly caterpillars, Among them, the type localities of 3 genera, 71 in a cell constructed and provisioned by the adult species, and 16 subspecies of Vespidae are situated female; the larva is rarely supplied with a mixture of in Turkey. Separately, 65 species and subspecies are pollen and nectar instead.

Parodontodynerus ephippium anatoliae [GlORDANI SODCA 1952] is a synonym to Parodontodynerus e. ephippium (KLUG 1817). Key words: Eumenidae, genera, Europe. Einleitung Im letzten Teil dieser Reihe von Bestimmungstabellen wird der Schlüssel zur Bestimmung der Gattungen dieser Familie vorgestellt. Zusätzlich werden jene Gattungen und Arten, welche bisher in den 13 Teilen nicht behandelt wurden, bearbeitet. Alle im Schlüssel vor- kommenden Gattungen und die in den bisherigen Tabellen noch nicht behandelten Arten werden bei einer nach dem Gattungsschlüssel vorgelegten Übersicht, in alphabetischer Reihenfolge bekanntgegeben. Für „ganz" Europa wurde bisher ein Bestimmungsschlüssel von GUICHARD (1980) ver- öffentlicht, doch fehlt dort die Gattung Cephalochilus BLÜTHGEN. Neben den meist auf einzelne Länder bezogenen Tabellen sind vor allem BERLAND (1928), SCHMIEDEKNECHT (1930), BLÜTHGEN (1938) und BLÜTHGEN (1961) hervorzuheben. Dabei ist interessant, daß BERLAND (1928) für Frankreich nur 7 Gattungen unterscheidet (Discoelius, Eumenes, Nortonia, Alastor, Pterochilus, Rhynchium und Odynerus mit einigen Untergattungen).

  • Bees and Wasps of the East Sussex South Downs
    A SURVEY OF THE BEES AND WASPS OF FIFTEEN CHALK GRASSLAND AND CHALK HEATH SITES WITHIN THE EAST SUSSEX SOUTH DOWNS Steven Falk, 2011 A SURVEY OF THE BEES AND WASPS OF FIFTEEN CHALK GRASSLAND AND CHALK HEATH SITES WITHIN THE EAST SUSSEX SOUTH DOWNS Steven Falk, 2011 Abstract For six years between 2003 and 2008, over 100 site visits were made to fifteen chalk grassland and chalk heath sites within the South Downs of Vice-county 14 (East Sussex). This produced a list of 227 bee and wasp species and revealed the comparative frequency of different species, the comparative richness of different sites and provided a basic insight into how many of the species interact with the South Downs at a site and landscape level. The study revealed that, in addition to the character of the semi-natural grasslands present, the bee and wasp fauna is also influenced by the more intensively-managed agricultural landscapes of the Downs, with many species taking advantage of blossoming hedge shrubs, flowery fallow fields, flowery arable field margins, flowering crops such as Rape, plus plants such as buttercups, thistles and dandelions within relatively improved pasture. Some very rare species were encountered, notably the bee Halictus eurygnathus Blüthgen which had not been seen in Britain since 1946. This was eventually recorded at seven sites and was associated with an abundance of Greater Knapweed. The very rare bees Anthophora retusa (Linnaeus) and Andrena niveata Friese were also observed foraging on several dates during their flight periods, providing a better insight into their ecology and conservation requirements.

An overall assessment of the distribution pattern of the vespid species in Iran indicates a complex fauna of different biogeographic regions. 111 species are found in both Eastern and Western Palaearctic regions, while 67 species were found only in the Eastern Palaearctic region. Few species (14 species – 6.1%) of various genera are known as elements of central and western Asian area and their area of distribution is not known in Europe (West Palaearctic) and in the Far East. The species that were found both in the Oriental and Afrotropical Regions comprises 11.7 and 15.6% the Iranian vespid fauna, respectively. Many species (48, 20.8%) are exclusively recorded from Iran and as yet there is no record of Received: these species from other countries. The highest percentage of the vespid 01 January, 2020 species are recorded from Sistan-o Baluchestan (42 species, 18.2%), Alborz (42 Accepted: species, 18.2%), Fars (39 species, 16.9%) and Tehran provinces (38 Species 17 January, 2020 16.5%), representing the fauna of the Southeastern, North- and South Central Published: of the country.

National Museum of Natural History \olashington OC 20560 (202) 382 1803 Editor's Ramblings Rolling right along, here is issue 12! Two issues of that wonderful rag called Sphecos for the price of one! This number contains a lot of material on collections, collecting techniques, and collecting reports. Recent literature, including another vespine suppliment by Robin Edwards, rounds off this issue. Again I owe a debt of thanks to Terry Nuhn for typing nearly all of this. Rebecca Friedman and Ludmila Kassianoff helped with some French and Russian translations, respectively. Research News John Wenzel (Snow Entomological Museum, Univ. of Kansas, Lawrence, Kansas 66045) writes: "I am broadly interested in problems of chemical communication, mating behavior, sex ratio, population genetics and social behavior. I am currently working on a review of vespid nest architecture and hope that I can contribute something toward resolution of the relationships of the various genera of the tribe Polybiini. After visiting the MCZ, AMNH and the USNM I conclude that there are rather few specimens of nests in the major museums and I am very interested in hearing from anyone who has photos or reliable notes on nests that are anomolous in form, placement, or otherwise depart from expectations. I am especially interested in seeing some nests or fragments of the brood region of any Polybioides or Parapolybia. Tarlton Rayment Again RAYMENT'S DRAWINGS - ACT 3 by Roger A.

  • The Bees and Wasps of Marsland Nature Reserve
    The Bees and Wasps of Marsland Nature Reserve Mason wasp Invertebrate survey and habitat evaluation Patrick Saunders [email protected] http://kernowecology.co.uk 1 Introduction This document consists of habitat evaluation and management recommendations for Bees and Wasps (Aculeate hymenoptera) for the Devon Wildlife Trust Nature Reserve Marsland mouth. The survey and report was commissioned by DWT Reserve warden. Marsland Nature reserve description (Pilkington & Threlkeld 2012) • The reserve comprises 212 hectares, of which 186 hectares occurs in the Marsland Valley and 26 hectares in the Welcombe Valley. The site was designated a SSSI in 1952. In addition the reserve includes an unknown acreage of foreshore north of Welcombe Mouth for 4 kilometres, extending beyond South Hole Farm (SS219201). The boundary of the reserve is approximately 18 miles long and is very complex, mainly through following the seven separate tributary streams. The reserve is freehold owned by Devon Wildlife Trust • The primary interest of the reserve is as an example of a north Devon/Cornwall coombe valley with a variety of slopes, soil types and aspects and coastal area that gives rise to a similar diversity of habitats. The most important of these are the extensive areas of relatively pure oak woodland and oak coppice, the maritime grassland and grass heath and the alder woodland and wet flushes in the valley bottoms. • There is approximately 36h of grassland, 130h of woodland, 43h of coastal habitat and 1h of open water. • The reserve also lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with the Marsland Valley being highly representative of an unspoilt coastal coombe habitat.
