Introduction Species of the genus Schizoprymnus are egg- larval endoparasites of beetles from the families The genus Schizoprymnus Förster is one of the Apionidae and Curculionidae. specialized genera of the subfamily Brachistinae. About 60 species of Schizoprymnus are known In the Palaearctic, six genera of this subfamily in the Palaearctic fauna, but the status of some were recorded till now: Eubazus Nees (with sub- species [e.g., S. fumatus (H.-Sch.), S. longiseta genera Eubazus Nees, Calyptus Haliday, Allodor- (H.-Sch.), S. rufiscapus Telenga] is not clear. us Förster, Aliolus Say and Brachistes Wesmael), About 40 species of this genus have been record- Polydegmon Förster, Foersteria Marshall, Che- ed from the Asian part of Palaearctic, and only S. lostes Achterberg, Triaspis Haliday and Schizo- tantalus Papp (Tobias, 1986) was known from prymnus Förster (Achterberg, 1990; Belokobyl- Turkey.

HOLLOWAY2 1 Department of Animal Biology, University of Sheffield, Sheffield, England, S 10 2TN * Australian Museum Visiting Fellow 2 Division of Invertebrate Zoology, Australian Museum, 6-8 College Street, Sydney, NSW 2000, Australia ABSTRACT. Calohelcon obscuripennis Turner is redescribed and illustrated for the first time. Calohelcon roddi n.sp. from New South Wales is described, illustrated and differentiated from C. obscuripennis. The hindwing of C. roddi possesses a distinct transverse vein m-cu, a feature unknown in any other Helconinae but present in many members of the 'cyclostome' subfamilies Doryctinae and Rogadinae, and in the apparently related Alysiinae, Betylobraconinae, Gnamptodontinae, Histeromerinae, Opiinae and Telengaiinae. The presence of hindwing vein m­ cu is interpreted as a plesiomorphous character state in the 'cyclostome' assemblage, but it is suggested that the presence of m-cu in some Calohelcon, represents a re-expression of genetic information, the expression of which had been previously suppressed.

  • Hymenoptera) with Highly Specialized Egg Morphology
    Systematic Entomology (2011), 36, 529–548 Maxfischeriinae: a new braconid subfamily (Hymenoptera) with highly specialized egg morphology ∗ ∗ CHARLES ANDREW BORING1 , BARBARA J. SHARANOWSKI2 andMICHAEL J. SHARKEY1 1Department of Entomology, S-225 Agricultural Science Center North, University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY, U.S.A. and 2Department of Entomology, 214 Animal Science Bldg., University of Manitoba, Winnipeg, Canada Abstract. The tribe Maxfischeriini, previously placed in Helconinae, is emended to subfamily status based on morphological and biological evidence. Proposed autapomorphies for Maxfischeriinae include: the presence of a pronotal shelf, forewing vein 1a and 2a present, although 1a nebulous, ventral valve of the ovipositor with serrations from tip to base and specialized egg morphology. The novel, pedunculate egg morphology is described for Maxfischeria, representing a new life- history strategy among Braconidae. Based on egg and ovipositor morphology, we suggest that Maxfischeria is a proovigenic, koinobiont ectoparasitoid. Five new species of Maxfischeria Papp are described with an illustrated key to all species (Maxfischeria ameliae sp.n., Maxfischeria anic sp.n., Maxfischeria briggsi sp.n., Maxfischeria folkertsorum sp.n. and Maxfischeria ovumancora sp.n.). In addition to the identification key presented here, all known species of Maxfischeria can be separated using the barcoding region of cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI ). Based on molecular data, the phylogenetic relationships among the six known species of Maxfischeria are as follows: (M. folkertsorum sp.n. (M. ovumancora sp.n. (M. briggsi sp.n. (M. anic sp.n. (M. tricolor + M. ameliae sp.n.))))). Introduction in the forewing. However, Maxfischeria does not possess other features associated with Helconini, including a distinct Until now the braconid genus Maxfischeria included a lamella on the frons, two strongly developed lateral carinae single species, Maxfischeria tricolor Papp.

The species of the genus Canalicephalus Gibson, 1977, are revised and eight new species are described (three from East Malaysia (Sabah), and five from Indonesia (three from Sulawesi, one from Java and one from Halmahera). The sistergenera Canalicephalus and Urosigalphus are united in a new tribe Urosigalphi- ni and keyed, including a key to the recognized subgenera of the genus Urosigalphus Ashmead, 1889. Both extant tribes Urosigalphini nov. and Afrocampsini van Achterberg & Austin, 1992, are included in the subfamily Acampsohelconinae Tobias, 1987, which up to now contains only a fossil species. Introduction During revision of the genera of Braconidae two genera (Canalicephalus Gibson, 1977, and Urosigalphus Ashmead, 1889), supposedly belonging to the subfamily Blacinae Foerster, 1862 (e.g., Gibson, 1977) or more commonly to the Helconinae Foer- ster, 1862 (e.g., Sharkey, 1997) were found not to fit well into either of these subfami- lies but to be more similar to members of the subfamily Cheloninae Foerster, 1862.

Malaise and light traps and sweeping nets were used to obtain adult specimens from various habitats in the study area during 2010 and 2011. The collected materials from southeastern Anatolia and from new localities of other regions were identified and a total of 11 species from 5 genera determined, of which the species Diospilus morosus Reinhard is a new record for southeastern Anatolia. All species are new records on the basis of provinces of Turkey. The distributions of the species were evaluated considering the zoogeographic regions. Key words: Homolobinae, Macrocentrinae, Meteorinae, Orgilinae, Fauna, southeastern Anatolia, Turkey 1. Introduction lepidopteran larvae, and most of the species are gregarious. The subfamily Helconinae includes 276 species in 34 genera The adults can easily be recognized by the presence and 4 tribes, of which the most widespread is Diospilini.

  • Subfamily Helconinae
    SUBFAMILY HELCONINAE M. J. SHARKEY Hymenoptera Institute, 116 Franklin Ave., Redlands, CA 92373, U.S.A., [email protected] INTRODUCTION. Helconinae is treated here as synonymous with the tribe Helconini following Sharanowski et al. (2011) who showed that the wider concept of Helconinae, including Diospilini and Brachistini, is not monophyletic. Helconinae is worldwide in distribution and contains 14 genera, three of which are found in the New World. Yu et al. (2016) cataloged the World species of Helconini. The monotypic genus Eumacrocentrus Ashmead is almost certainly a derived member of Helcon Nees but formal synonymy requires a detailed cladistic analysis. There are no identification keys to New World species. PHYLOGENY. Sharanowski et al. (2011) showed that showed that the wider concept of Helconinae, used in the Manual of New World Genera (Wharton et al., 1997) is not monophyletic and that it Topaldios is a member. There have been no attempts at a detailed molecular phylogenetic analysis of the genera of Helconinae, and the monophyly of most genera is suspect. BIOLOGY. Members of the Helconini are solitary endoparasitoids of cerambycid beetle larvae and possibly other wood-boring beetles (Tobias, 1967; Shaw and Huddleston, 1991). COMMON GENERA. Wroughtonia Cameron is the only genus routinely collected. DISTRIBUTION. Cosmopolitan. In the New World, members appear to be restricted to temperate areas. In North America two species are found as far south as Mexico, and in South America some species of Helcon are found as far north as the Brazilian state of Paraña. DISTINGUISHING FEATURES. Members of Helconinae are rather large and robust and may be recognized by the following combination of characters: second submarginal cell of fore wing narrowed anteriorly; clypeus rugose dorsally and smooth ventrally; 2a of forewing present; lateral (outer) apex of foretibia with a distinct sclerotized lamella (van Achterberg, 1987).

The colors are often subtle, three to choose from) and the designs tiny. So we came up with • Extension cords with enough plugs to this idea - to let people see the enlarged power the laptop and the projector photos as I'm taking them (Fig. 1) . • Two things to sit on, one for me and one for the projector Get ready.
