Published online at www.senckenberg.de/arthropod-systematics on 30.viii.2017. Editors in charge: Christian Schmidt & Klaus-Dieter Klass Abstract The female cephalothorax of Xenos vesparum (Strepsiptera, Xenidae) is described and documented in detail. The female is enclosed by exuvia of the secondary and tertiary larval stages and forms a functional unit with them. Only the cephalothorax is protruding from the host’s abdomen. The cephalothorax comprises the head and thorax, and the anterior half of the first abdominal segment. Adult females and the exuvia of the secondary larva display mandibles, vestigial antennae, a labral field, and a mouth opening. Vestiges of maxillae are also recognizable on the exuvia but almost completely reduced in the adult female. A birth opening is located between the head and prosternum of the exuvia of the secondary larva. A pair of spiracles is present in the posterolateral region of the cephalothorax. -

The Centre is funded by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government. Foreword Dr Liam Lysaght Ireland, along with its EU partners, agreed to ‘Halt biodiversity loss by 2010’. Before we can halt biodiversity loss, we need to have some understanding of what that biodiversity resource is. As a contribution to this target, and to mark International Year of Biodiversity 2010, the National Biodiversity Data Centre set out to produce an overview of the state of knowledge on Ireland’s biodiversity. The scope of this task relates only to knowledge on what species and habitats occur in Ireland, how they are distributed, and how their range and/or populations are changing. Ecosystem function and conservation management are outside the remit of the Centre thus are not addressed in this document. -

For example, brood parasitism often drives hosts to diversify in egg appearance among females within a species, making mimetic parasitic eggs easier to detect. However, when a Received: 9 February 2017 single parasite species exploits multiple host species, parasitism could also Accepted: 19 April 2017 drive host egg evolution away from other co-occurring hosts, to escape suscep- tibility to their respective mimics.

After a comfortable 6 ½-hour flight, we met up again in the arrivals area to collect our bags, then change cash into the local currency, before boarding the air-conditioned coach which would take us to the Mandina Lodges, our base for the next seven nights. On arrival, after a 45-minute journey, we were warmly greeted by Linda and her staff and made instantly welcome. The setting for the lodges is truly special being in a natural area of forest adjacent to a tributary of the Gambia river. It has its own landing jetty as part of the property. It was getting dark by the time we arrived and so after a refreshing cold drink we were escorted to our accommodation, where we were able to unpack and prepare for our excellent evening meal, all freshly prepared for us. On our way from the airport to Mandina we were able to pick out a single Yellow-billed Kite and a couple of Hooded Vultures as well five very distinctive Pied Crows. -
