  • (Aculeata) in Birch Stands of the Air-Polluted Area of Northern Bohemia
    JOURNAL OF FOREST SCIENCE, 49, 2003 (4): 148–158 Hymenoptera (Aculeata) in birch stands of the air-polluted area of Northern Bohemia E. KULA1, P. TYRNER2 1Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry, Faculty of Forestry and Wood Technology, Brno, Czech Republic 2Litvínov Grammar School, Litvínov, Czech Republic ABSTRACT: The Hymenoptera (Aculeata) fauna was studied in birch stands (Betula pendula Roth) of colder areas of Northern Bohemia using the method of Moericke’s yellow traps. Altogether 159 species were trapped; the most important were Andrena lappona, Vespula vulgaris, Halictus sp., Trypoxylon minus and Vespula rufa. Only 12.7% of the species are widely spread in this ecosystem type. In 1990–1994 and in 1995–1999 we compared the abundance of the fauna and discovered that many species of the families Apidae and Sphecidae receded from the birch stands due to changing site conditions (light, weed infestation).

Entomol. Fennica 29: 8696. Pseudogonalos hahnii is the only known species of Trigonalidae in Europe. It is a hyperparasitoid of lepidopteran larvae via ichneumonid primary parasitoids. Possibly, it has also been reared from a symphytan larva. We report the species for the first time from Estonia, Lithuania and Russian Fennoscandia, and list all known observations from Finland and Latvia. An overview of the biology of the species is presented with a list of all known host records. S. Väänänen, Vantaa, Finland; E-mail: [email protected] J.

One genus and 27 species (including 3 new species: 52% of the captured material) are new records for the country. In addition, three new species, Chrysis gianassoi sp. nov., Chrysis majidi sp. nov. and Chrysis unirubra sp. nov. are described and illustrated, and diagnostic characters are provided to identify them. Chrysis turcica du Buyson, 1908 is removed from synonymy with Chrysis peninsularis du Buysson, 1887. Chrysis bilobata Balthasar, 1953 is confirmed as valid species and illustrated. The composition of the Iranian Chrysididae fauna is compared with that of South Palaearctic countries. The large proportion of new record and new species (≈52%) indicates that the fauna of Iranian Chrysididae is rich and diverse but has not yet been thoroughly studied. The majority of new record were obtained from mountainous sites above 1000 m above sea level, indicating the rich biodiversity of this biotope.

[email protected] The family Chrysididae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) is one of the largest families of Aculeata. They have a highly reduced sting and only 2 to 4 (rarely 5) metasomal segments are visible. There is no complete information about their biology, but adults feed on pollen and nectar of plants. They are Parasitoid or cleptoparasite of other Hymenoptera, Phasmatodea and Lepidoptera. Members of this family are called gold wasps and cuckoo wasps because of their metallic coloration and cleptoparasitic behavior. Cuckoo wasps are comprising 87 genera and 2509 species in the world. They have the greatest diversity in the Palearctic region. In order to investigate the chrysidid fauna, sampling was carried out in the different ecosystem of Northern provinces (Guilan, Mazandaran, Alborz and Qazvin) and Southern provinces (Hormozgan and Fars) of Iran during 2010-2013 using Malaise traps and sweeping net. The species were identified by reliable keys and confirmed by Paolo Rosa (Bernareggio, Italy). As the result of this research a total of 13 species and 4 genera belonging to Chrysidiane subfamily and Elampini tribe are identified, among them Omalus aeneus (Fabricius, 1787) is recorded for the first time from Iran The specimens were collected from Chamestan in Mazandaran province (23 July 2010, 1 male, 11 August 2011, 3 females).

  • First Records of Chrysis Splendidula Rossi, 1790 (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae), and Other Corrections of the Cuckoo Wasp Check-List of Lithuanian Fauna
    124 BULLETIN OF THE LITHUANIAN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY. Volume 3 (31) FIRST RECORDS OF CHRYSIS SPLENDIDULA ROSSI, 1790 (HYMENOPTERA: CHRYSIDIDAE), AND OTHER CORRECTIONS OF THE CUCKOO WASP CHECK-LIST OF LITHUANIAN FAUNA SVETLANA ORLOVSKYTĖ, EDUARDAS BUDRYS Nature Research Centre, Akademijos 2, LT-08412 Vilnius, Lithuania. E-mail: [email protected] Introduction Chrysis splendidula Rossi, 1790 (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) is a cleptoparasitic cuckoo wasp widespread in the Palearctic region ranging from Europe and North Africa to Southeast Asia (Linsenmaier, 1959, 1997; Курзенко, Лелей, 2007). It has been recorded in neighbouring countries, such as Latvia (Paukkunen et al., 2014), Belarus, Poland (Wiśniowski, 2015), while the presence of this species in Lithuania has not yet been confirmed. Moreover, some other corrections must be made in the Lithuanian check-list of chrysidids (Orlovskytė et al., 2010) due to a new species description, misidentifications, and a revised taxonomic status of some species. The aim of this publication is to present new records of this cuckoo wasp species and to adjust the Chrysididae species check-list of Lithuania. Material and Methods The material was collected during field research using entomological net and yellow pan traps by E. Budrys (abbreviated as E.B.) and S. Orlovskytė (S.O.). It was identified according to W. Linsenmaier (1997), J. Paukkunen et al. (2015) and deposited in the Nature Research Centre (Vilnius, Lithuania). Total genomic DNA of the specimen from Užuožerės Miškas f. was extracted following the "GeneJet Genome Purification Kit" (Thermo Fisher Scientific) protocol. The 675 bp long fragment of the CO1-5' gene, widely used as a "barcoding" sequence (Hebert et al., 2003), was amplified with modified primers T3HYMlep-f (5'- attaaccctcactaaagtcwachaaycayaaaratatygg-3') and T7HYMnancy-r (5'- aatacgactcactataggdaraattaraatrtaaacytcwg-3') (Budrys et al., 2019).

    Insect Conservation and Diversity (2018) 11, 58–71 doi: 10.1111/icad.12241 Species traits explain long-term population trends of Finnish cuckoo wasps (Hymenoptera: Chrysididae) 1 € 2 2 JUHO PAUKKUNEN, JUHA POYRY and MIKKO KUUSSAARI 1Finnish Museum of Natural History, Zoology Unit, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland and 2Finnish Environment Institute (SYKE), Natural Environment Centre, Helsinki, Finland Abstract. 1. Kleptoparasitic and parasitoid insects are expected to be particu- larly sensitive to changes in habitat availability due to their high trophic posi- tion and small population sizes compared with their hosts, but there are only few quantitative studies on their population changes. 2. Here, we studied the distribution and abundance of 48 kleptoparasitic and parasitoid species of cuckoo wasps (Chrysididae) and eight selected host species recorded in Finland from 1840 to 2015 based on an extensive survey of entomologi- cal collections. Population trends were assessed by studying changes in occupancy in 10 9 10 km grid squares between two study periods, 1840–1967 and 1968–2015. 3. Statistically significant decreases in occurrence were found for 11 cuckoo wasp species and one host species, while significant increases were not observed for any species. Trends of cuckoo wasps and their hosts were positively corre- lated, and changes were generally stronger in cuckoo wasps than in their hosts. 4. In a comparative analysis of species traits, abundance, body size and nest- ing type of host were related to occurrence changes of cuckoo wasps. Scarce and small species that use above ground-nesting hosts declined more than abun- dant and large species that use ground-nesting hosts.

  • Tribes Astatini, Dinetini, Larrini, Palarini and Trypoxylini (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Crabronidae)
    A contribution to the knowledge of Spheciformes of Turkey: Tribes Astatini, Dinetini, Larrini, Palarini and Trypoxylini (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Crabronidae) by Severiano Fernández Gayubo, Hikmet Özbek and Erol Y ldrm Abstract. Between 1967 and 2000, a total of 48 species of Spheciformes (tribes Astatini, Dineti- ni, Larrini, Palarini and Trypoxylini) was collected in Turkey, mainly in the eastern part of the country. Five of them are new to the Turkish fauna: Astata apostata Mercet, Astata gallica Beaumont, Ancistromma asiaticum Gussakovskij, Trypoxylon latilobatum Antropov, and Trypo- xylon syriacum Mercet. Kurzfassung. Zwischen 1967 und 2000 wurden in der Türkei, besonders im Osten des Landes, insgesamt 48 Arten von Spheciformes (tribes Astatini, Dinetini, Larrini, Palarini und Trypoxylini) gesammelt. Fünf davon sind neu für die türkische Fauna: Astata apostata Mercet, Astata gallica Beaumont, Ancistromma asiaticum Gussakovskij, Trypoxylon latilobatum Antropov und Trypoxy- lon syriacum Mercet. Key words. Spheciformes, Crabronidae, Anatolia, Middle East. Introduction Most authors have considered the “Sphecidae” as a natural group, either as a family (BO- HART & MENKE 1976) or as a superfamily (KROMBEIN et al. 1979). However, some authors consider the “Sphecidae” to be a paraphyletic group (BROTHERS 1975), and this has recently been confirmed by ALEXANDER (1992) and MELO (1999). The latter author thinks that the “Sphecidae” are in fact three families: Ampulicidae, Sphecidae and Crabronidae, which, together with the bees and the Heterogynaidae, form the superfamily Apoidea. This opinion was discussed by BROTHERS (1999). To refer to the three families proposed by MELO (1999), the term “Spheciformes” has been used, a denomination already proposed by BROTHERS (1975). These three families are cosmopolitan and comprise more than 8000 species and nearly 250 genera.
