D. cephalotes and D. curticornis are univioltine in the central region of Korea and overwinters as larval stage inside the cocoon. Both species are ectoparasitoid, and a solitary parasitoid. D. cephalotes adults are emerged from the beginning of April to the middle of May, while D. curticornis adults are emerged from late April to mid-May.

  • The Phylogeny and Evolutionary Biology of the Pimplinae (Hymenoptera : Ichneumonidae)
    THE PHYLOGENY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY OF THE PIMPLINAE (HYMENOPTERA : ICHNEUMONIDAE) Paul Eggleton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London Department of Entomology Department of Pure & Applied B ritish Museum (Natural H istory) Biology, Imperial College London London May 1989 ABSTRACT £ The phylogeny and evolutionary biology of the Pimplinae are investigated using a cladistic compatibility method. Cladistic methodology is reviewed in the introduction, and the advantages of using a compatibility method explained. Unweighted and weighted compatibility techniques are outlined. The presently accepted classification of the Pimplinae is investigated by reference to the diagnostic characters used by earlier workers. The Pimplinae do not form a natural grouping using this character set. An additional 22 new characters are added to the data set for a further analysis. The results show that the Pimplinae (sensu lato) form four separate and unconnected lineages. It is recommended that the lineages each be given subfamily status. Other taxonomic changes at tribal level are suggested. The host and host microhabitat relations of the Pimplinae (sensu s tr ic to ) are placed within the evolutionary framework of the analyses of morphological characters. The importance of a primitive association with hosts in decaying wood is stressed, and the various evolutionary pathways away from this microhabitat discussed. The biology of the Rhyssinae is reviewed, especially with respect to mating behaviour and male reproductive strategies. The Rhyssinae (78 species) are analysed cladistically using 62 characters, but excluding characters thought to be connected with mating behaviour. Morphometric studies show that certain male gastral characters are associated with particular mating systems.

Burke, Department of Entomology, University of Georgia, 10 Athens, GA, USA, [email protected] 11 12 Abstract 13 The Ichneumonoidea (Ichneumonidae and Braconidae) is an incredibly diverse superfamily of parasitoid 14 wasps that includes species that produce virus-like entities in their reproductive tracts to promote 15 successful parasitism of host insects. Research on these entities has traditionally focused upon two viral 16 genera Bracovirus (in Braconidae) and Ichnovirus (in Ichneumonidae). These viruses are produced using 17 genes known collectively as endogenous viral elements (EVEs) that represent historical, now heritable 18 viral integration events in wasp genomes. Here, new genome sequence assemblies for eleven species and 19 six publicly available genomes from the Ichneumonoidea were screened with the goal of identifying novel 20 EVEs and characterizing the breadth of species in lineages with known EVEs. Exhaustive similarity 21 searches combined with the identification of ancient core genes revealed sequences from both known and 22 novel EVEs.

  • Towards the Development of Soybean Resistance to Dectes
    Towards the development of soybean resistance to Dectes texanus LeConte (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae): Evaluation of conventional soybean resistance in the soybean plant introduction 165673, transcriptomic analyses, and gene silencing by RNA interference by Lina Maria Aguirre Rojas B. Sc., Universidad del Valle, Colombia, 2010 M. Sc., Kansas State University, 2013 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of Entomology College of Agriculture KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2019 ABSTRACT Dectes texanus (Coleoptera:Cerambyciade) larvae devastate soybeans in the U. S. midwestern states by girdling and tunneling inside the stems. Reduction of natural sunflower and ragweed hosts may have promoted the use soybean as a host since the late 1950s. Development of soybean varieties resistant to D. texanus is of importance to manage this pest since harvesting as soon as possible is the only option available to farmers to reduce yield losses. The soybean plant introduction (PI) 165673 reduces the number of D. texanus larvae, but survivors are still found at 21 d post infestation that may damage and girdle the PI165673 stems at the end of the growing season. Soybean resistance to D. texanus can be enhanced with the delivery of double stranded RNA (dsRNA) in planta to suppress gene expression by RNA interference (RNAi). DsRNA expressed in planta can be designed specifically to target and silence D. texanus genes important for development. D. texanus genes uniquely or highly expressed when fed soybean compared to those fed their natural hosts or artificial diet can be exploited to impair the development of D.

Gaudon 2019 Natural Enemies of Wood-boring Beetles in Northeastern Temperate Forests and Implications for Biological Control of the Emerald Ash Borer (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in North America Justin Michael Gaudon Doctor of Philosophy in Forestry Faculty of Forestry University of Toronto 2019 Abstract The emerald ash borer (hereafter EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae), is a wood-boring beetle accidentally introduced into North America during the 1990s, and has since been killing millions of ash trees, Fraxinus spp. L. (Lamiales: Oleaceae), as it spreads across Canada and the USA. Native North American natural enemies, especially parasitoid wasps, are important mortality factors of EAB, but little information is available on their arrival and detection in EAB-infested regions, and their feasibility for augmentative biological control against EAB is uncertain. Two important native parasitoid groups, Phasgonophora sulcata Westwood (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) and Atanycolus spp. Foerster (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), were investigated to determine (1) factors influencing their capacity to disperse, (2) vegetation and habitat characteristics influencing their local abundance and role in EAB mortality, (3) whether their populations can be augmented to increase parasitism of EAB, and (4) how best to detect and monitor their populations as EAB continues to spread. The weak dispersal capacity of P. sulcata suggests it should be released as pupae close to EAB if used in an augmentative biological control program.

  • Hymenoptera) of the Canadian Prairies Ecozone: a Review
    317 Chapter 9 Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) of the Canadian Prairies Ecozone: A Review Marla D. Schwarzfeld* Department of Biological Sciences, CW 405 Biological Sciences Centre, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, T6G 2E9 Email: [email protected] Abstract. The parasitoid family Ichneumonidae is the largest family in the order Hymenoptera. This chapter provides a checklist of 1,160 ichneumonid species (299 genera) known from the Canadian Prairies Ecozone. The list is primarily drawn from literature records and also includes 35 newly recorded species from the ecozone. The number of species on the list is a vast underestimate of the number of ichneumonid species present, as many genera lack revisions and few biodiversity surveys have been conducted. Most species recorded from this ecozone are only known from the Nearctic region, but are not restricted to the Prairies Ecozone. Little is known about the ecology, habitat requirements, or host associations of most ichneumonid species, with 43% of the species on the checklist lacking any host records. Future research should include revisions of the many genera that have not been studied in the Nearctic region, as well as biodiversity surveys in prairie habitats, rearing of potential host species, and the creation of user-friendly identification resources. Résumé. Les guêpes parasitoïdes de la famille des Ichneumonidae forment la plus grande famille de l’ordre des hyménoptères.

  • Checklist of Ichneumonid Parasitoid Wasps in Switzerland (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae): 470 Species New for the Country and an Appraisal of the Alpine Diversity
    Alpine Entomology 3 2019, 51–81 | DOI 10.3897/alpento.3.31613 Checklist of ichneumonid parasitoid wasps in Switzerland (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae): 470 species new for the country and an appraisal of the alpine diversity Seraina Klopfstein1, Matthias Riedel2, Martin Schwarz3 1 Naturhistorisches Museum Basel, Augustinergasse 2, 4051 Basel, Switzerland 2 Blumenlage 22c, Bad Fallingbostel D-29683, Germany 3 Eben 21, A-4202 Kirchschlag, Austria http://zoobank.org/308A1825-F537-43A8-9BC8-9D66938FC54D Corresponding author: Seraina Klopfstein ([email protected]) Abstract Received 13 November 2018 We here present the first comprehensive and validated species list of the parasitoid wasp Accepted 29 March 2019 family Ichneumonidae in Switzerland. The list includes 1,878 species and is based on both Published 16 April 2019 an extensive literature research and a review of all reliably identified specimens present in the major Swiss collections. Because of the incomplete taxonomic treatment of this Academic editor: largest hymenopteran family, we adopted a conservative approach, accepting only species Andreas Müller that have been published recently and/or were identified by recognized experts. The sub- families Adelognathinae, Brachycyrtinae, Diacritinae and Lycorininae are reported for the Key Words first time for the country, as are 470 of the 1,878 species. The true number of species of ichneumonids in Switzerland is probably much higher, given the incomplete revision of faunistics Swiss specimens and the fact that large areas of the country were studied very sparsely or altitudinal pattern not at all. The subalpine and alpine areas deserve special attention, as they show a higher species richness ratio between the number of species per collected specimen; these areas should be the Alps focus of intensified collecting efforts in the future.
