This group is also highly diversified cytogenetically and demonstrates a number of unusual cytogenetic characters such as holokinetic chromosomes; m-chromosomes; multiple sex chromosome systems; post-reduction of sex chromosomes in meiosis; variation in the presence/absence of chiasmata in spermatogenesis; different types of achiasmate meiosis.

Abstract Euphorine parasites, comprising 14 species of Peristenus and four of Leio- phron, were reared from 28 plant bug species collected near Belleville, Ontario. Immature, unidentifiable euphorines were found in 24 other host species. Each of the parasite species attacked nymphs of one or more plant bugs. Most of the hosts, and all the parasites have one generation per year. Parasitism was limited to the portion of the season when the host(s) was in the nymphal stage. The over- wintered parasites were inactive as diapausing adults in cocoons until the growing season of the following year. From 16-64 per cent of host nymphs were parasitized.

E-mail: [email protected] 2Borissiak Paleontological Institute Russian Academy of Sciences, Profsoyuznaya Str. 123, 117997 Moscow, Russia. E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract Metoisops akingbohungbei, M. groehni, M. punctatodiffusus, M. intergerivus, M. grabenhorsti, M. variabilis, and M. con- similis are described as new species from the late Eocene Baltic, Ukrainian, (Rovno) and Saxonian (Bitterfeld) amber. The new diagnosis of the genus Metoisops and also all species of this genus presented, along with illustrations. An analysis of all studied specimens referring to of Metoisops from different Eocene European amber demonstrates the great variability of their features, and allows for differentiation of species. Ratios of the width and length of body, eye, vertex, antennal and rostral segments, pronotum, mesoscutum and scutellum, claval commissura, length of hind femur, tibia and tarsus, corium and cuneus length, as well as ratio of membrane cell’s width and length of all 9 species of the genus Metoisops are pre- sented. Key words: Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Miridae, Isometopinae, Metoisops, extinct, species, new species, Eocene Baltic, Rovno and Saxonian amber Introduction Representatives of the subfamilies Isometopinae, Cylapinae, and likely also Psallopinae are dominant mired groups in the European amber fauna (Popov & Herczek, 2008; Popov at al, 2011).

Nabidomiris Poppius, 1914 is an African plant bug genus with three des- cribed species. Here we describe as new a fourth, Nabidomiris natalensis sp. nov. from KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa), and compare it to the other known species. Because male genitalia are important for species delimitation, and it has never been documented for any of the species of Nabidomiris, we describe for the fi rst time the male genitalia of N. clypealis Poppius, 1914, N. longipennis Odhiambo, 1958, and N. giloicus Linnavuori, 1975. We provide a key to separate all species, and new country records for the previously described species. Nabidomiris clypealis is recorded for the fi rst time from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Africa, N. giloicus from Cameroon, and N. longipennis from Tanzania. Key words.
