Hymenoptera, Vespidae, Eumeninae, Polistinae, Vespinae, first records, rarely-recorded taxa, distribution, Palaearctic region, Nepal Introduction We recently examined a number of species of Vespidae that have appeared only rarely in the literature and/or occurred in areas or countries in which they had not previously been recorded. In all these cases, publication of their data is interesting from a faunistic point of view and constitutes the basis for the present paper, the third in a series (see DVOØÁK & CASTRO 2007, and CASTRO & DVOØÁK 2009). The new specimens belong to 31 species from the subfamilies Eumeninae, Polistinae and Vespinae, and come from 20 countries in Europe, Palaearctic Asia and north-west Africa, as well as Nepal. The taxa are listed by subfamilies, and the records are accompanied by information on the worldwide distribution of each taxon and, in some cases, by relevant comments. Some of the specimens are deposited in the National Museum, Prague (Czech Republic: NMPC), six are distributed in the collections of the Facultad de Biología, Salamanca University (Spain: USFB), the National Museum of Natural History, Sofia (Bulgaria: 37 L. CASTRO & L. DVOØÁK MNHS), the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde, Stuttgart (Germany: SMNS) and the private collection of Patrick Bonneau (La Bouilladisse, France), while the remaining material is in the authors’ collections, as indicated below. Results EUMENINAE Allodynerus delphinalis delphinalis (Giraud, 1866) Material examined. KYRGHYZYSTAN: Jalal-Abad, Chatkal’skiy Mts., c. 41°30′N, 70°45′E (UTM: c. 42T- XL49), 4-VIII-1973, 1♂, J. Tarbinskij leg., L. Castro det. & coll. Remarks. A. delphinalis was previously known from most of continental Europe, Corsica, Sardinia and Sicily, as well as the Caucasus, Armenia, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan, south-eastern Siberia, north-eastern China, Primorye (south- eastern Russia) and Japan. In Sardinia it is represented by ssp. sardous Blüthgen, 1953, and in parts of central Asia, Iran and possibly the Middle East by ssp. fallax Blüthgen, 1953, described from “Transcaspia” (BLÜTHGEN 1961; BLÜTHGEN & GUSENLEITNER 1970; BORSATO & TURRISI 2004; CASTRO 1992; EBRAHIMI & CARPENTER 2008; GIORDANI SOIKA 1970; KURZENKO 1995; PU£AWSKI 1967; SCHLJACHTENOK & GUSENLEITNER 1996; TUSSAC & TUSSAC 1981; VAN DER VECHT & FISCHER 1972; YAMANE 1990). First record for Kyrghyzystan. Note: Given that our specimen is a male, it is not easy to decide whether it belongs to the nominotypical form or to ssp. fallax. On the other hand, from the description of the holotype of fallax it would appear that this form is identical to some southern Iberian material we have seen, which suggests that ssp. fallax should perhaps be downgraded to a mere clinal, climate-related form. Allodynerus koenigi (Dusmet, 1917) Material examined. PORTUGAL: Guarda, Seixo Amarelo, 40°27′N, 7°21′W (UTM: 29T-PE37), 31-VII-1996, 1♂, J. García leg., L. Castro det., USFB coll. Remarks.

Castro det. & coll. Note: GUSENLEITNER (1999) separated Vespa aucta Fabricius, 1793 and Odynerus renimacula Lepeletier, 1841, which had until then been largely treated as conspecific, into independent species. Remarks. A. auctus, in the post-1999 sense of the taxon, was known from eastern Europe, southern-central areas of the continent, north-eastern Italy, France, Armenia, Turkey, the Middle East, Iran, Turkmenistan, Sicily and the Aegean (BLÜTHGEN 1961; BLÜTHGEN & GUSENLEITNER 1970; BORSATO & TURRISI 2004; DVOØÁK & STRAKA 2007; EBRAHIMI & CARPENTER 2008; GIORDANI SOIKA 1970; GUSENLEITNER 1999; VAN DER VECHT & FISCHER 1972). According to GUSENLEITNER (1999), A. renimacula is a western Mediterranean element, and the two species occur together in “France, Italy, Germany and Austria”. However, the actual European range of these sister species is in need of redefinition, because the recent separation of the two taxa has rendered previous records difficult to interpret. For example, BLÜTHGEN (1961) and KÖNIGSMANN (1969) records of “A. renimacula” from Macedonia, BLÜTHGEN & KÖNIGSMANN (1969) from Albania, and the material recorded by CASTRO (1992) from north-eastern Spain as “A. auctus auctus” has turned out to include both species. In this context, the present record from Macedonia is interesting in that it provides the first reliable mention of A. auctus s.str. from this country, in the same way that those from Spain reveal that A. auctus reaches much further to the west than previously known. Incidentally, A. renimacula is also present in the three Spanish provinces mentioned. First records for Macedonia and Spain in the current interpretation of the species.

  • Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve
    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve Arthropods are characterized by having jointed limbs and exoskeletons. They include a diverse assortment of creatures: Insects, spiders, crustaceans (crayfish, crabs, pill bugs), centipedes and millipedes among others. Column Headings Scientific Name: The phenomenal diversity of arthropods, creates numerous difficulties in the determination of species. Positive identification is often achieved only by specialists using obscure monographs to ‘key out’ a species by examining microscopic differences in anatomy. For our purposes in this survey of the fauna, classification at a lower level of resolution still yields valuable information. For instance, knowing that ant lions belong to the Family, Myrmeleontidae, allows us to quickly look them up on the Internet and be confident we are not being fooled by a common name that may also apply to some other, unrelated something. With the Family name firmly in hand, we may explore the natural history of ant lions without needing to know exactly which species we are viewing. In some instances identification is only readily available at an even higher ranking such as Class. Millipedes are in the Class Diplopoda. There are many Orders (O) of millipedes and they are not easily differentiated so this entry is best left at the rank of Class. A great deal of taxonomic reorganization has been occurring lately with advances in DNA analysis pointing out underlying connections and differences that were previously unrealized. For this reason, all other rankings aside from Family, Genus and Species have been omitted from the interior of the tables since many of these ranks are in a state of flux.

Box 98615-538, I.R. Iran. 2 Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024, USA. ABSTRACT. 231 species of the family Vespidae (Hymenoptera, Vespoidea) of Iran, in 55 genera belonging to 4 subfamilies Eumeninae (45 genera, 184 species), Masarinae (5 genera, 24 species), Polistinae (2 genera, 17 species) and Vespinae (3 genera, 6 species) are listed. 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.

The following four forms included in three species were recorded: E. dantici violaceipennis Giordani Soika, E. nipanicus nipanicus (von Schulthess), E. nipanicus tonkinensis Giordani Soika and E. trilobus (Fabricius). Of these, E. dantici violaceipennis and E. nipanicus nipanicus were newly recorded for Vietnam. Keys to species and subspecies are presented and records of their distribution in Northern Vietnam are also provided. This is the first result on the taxonomy of the genus in Vietnam, and the distribution records is an important contribution to the study on the distribution pattern of the species in the genus in Asia.
