A Report on Two Alien Invasive Species of the Genus Sceliphron Klug, 1801 (Hymenoptera Sphecidae) from Sicily, with a Brief Faunistic Update on the Native Species
Biodiversity Journal , 2017, 8 (2): 753–762 A report on two alien invasive species of the genus Sceliphron Klug, 1801 (Hymenoptera Sphecidae) from Sicily, with a brief faunistic update on the native species Giuseppe Fabrizio Turrisi 1,* & Giovanni Altadonna 2 1Via Cristoforo Colombo 8, 95030, Pedara, Catania, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] 2Contrada Filangeri s.n.c., Vill. Pistunina, 98125, Messina, Italy; e-mail: [email protected] *Corresponding author ABSTRACT Two alien invasive species of the genus Sceliphron Klug, 1801 (Hymenoptera Sphecidae) were recently found in Sicily: S. caementarium (Drury, 1773) is recorded from Sicily (Messina province) for the first time; S. curvatum (F. Smith, 1870), previously recorded from Sicily only through generic data from literature and only one locality in a web forum of amateurs, is confirmed as definitely established in the Island. The Regional distribution of both alien species in Italy is revised based on data taken from literature and reliable reports from web forums. A brief faunistic account on the three native Sceliphron from Sicily is provided: S. destillatorium (Illiger, 1807) and S. spirifex (Linnaeus, 1758) are both new for the Aeolian Islands (respectively reported for Panarea and Vulcano).

Journal of Hymenoptera Research 79: 163–168. https:// doi.org/10.3897/jhr.79.58659 Abstract The introduction and establishment of the North American mud-dauber wasp Sceliphron caementarium (Drury, 1773) is reported for the first time from the Maltese Islands. A check-list of the Maltese Sphecidae is provided. Keywords alien, invasive species, Maltese Islands, mud-dauber Introduction Almost 300 species of Hymenoptera are recorded as alien in Europe (Rasplus et al. 2010). Most of these represent either parasitoid taxa (including several aphelinids, eu- lophids and braconids) of which the majority were deliberately introduced for the bio- logical control of agricultural pests, or invasive ants which were accidentally introduced.

Checklist of the Spheciform Wasps (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae & Sphecidae) of British Columbia
Checklist of the Spheciform Wasps (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae & Sphecidae) of British Columbia Chris Ratzlaff Spencer Entomological Collection, Beaty Biodiversity Museum, UBC, Vancouver, BC This checklist is a modified version of: Ratzlaff, C.R. 2015. Checklist of the spheciform wasps (Hymenoptera: Crabronidae & Sphecidae) of British Columbia. Journal of the Entomological Society of British Columbia 112:19-46 (available at http://journal.entsocbc.ca/index.php/journal/article/view/894/951). Photographs for almost all species are online in the Spencer Entomological Collection gallery (http://www.biodiversity.ubc.ca/entomology/). There are nine subfamilies of spheciform wasps in recorded from British Columbia, represented by 64 genera and 280 species. The majority of these are Crabronidae, with 241 species in 55 genera and five subfamilies. Sphecidae is represented by four subfamilies, with 39 species in nine genera. The following descriptions are general summaries for each of the subfamilies and include nesting habits and provisioning information. The Subfamilies of Crabronidae Astatinae !Three genera and 16 species of astatine wasps are found in British Columbia. All species of Astata, Diploplectron, and Dryudella are groundnesting and provision their nests with heteropterans (Bohart and Menke 1976). Males of Astata and Dryudella possess holoptic eyes and are often seen perching on sticks or rocks. Bembicinae Nineteen genera and 47 species of bembicine wasps are found in British Columbia. All species are groundnesting and most prefer habitats with sand or sandy soil, hence the common name of “sand wasps”. Four genera, Bembix, Microbembex, Steniolia and Stictiella, have been recorded nesting in aggregations (Bohart and Horning, Jr. 1971; Bohart and Gillaspy 1985). -
Wasps and Bees in Southern Africa
SANBI Biodiversity Series 24 Wasps and bees in southern Africa by Sarah K. Gess and Friedrich W. Gess Department of Entomology, Albany Museum and Rhodes University, Grahamstown Pretoria 2014 SANBI Biodiversity Series The South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) was established on 1 Sep- tember 2004 through the signing into force of the National Environmental Manage- ment: Biodiversity Act (NEMBA) No. 10 of 2004 by President Thabo Mbeki. The Act expands the mandate of the former National Botanical Institute to include respon- sibilities relating to the full diversity of South Africa’s fauna and flora, and builds on the internationally respected programmes in conservation, research, education and visitor services developed by the National Botanical Institute and its predecessors over the past century. The vision of SANBI: Biodiversity richness for all South Africans. SANBI’s mission is to champion the exploration, conservation, sustainable use, appreciation and enjoyment of South Africa’s exceptionally rich biodiversity for all people.

TIGER-Wasps – a Preliminary Review of the Apoid Wasp Diversity in Thailand (Hymenoptera: Apoidea)
HALLE (SAALE ) 2012 MITT . DTSCH . GES . ALL G . AN G EW . ENT . 18 TIGER-wasps – A preliminary review of the apoid wasp diversity in Thailand (Hymenoptera: Apoidea) Volker Lohrmann, Lukas Kirschey, Stefanie Krause, Meike Schulze & Michael Ohl Museum für Naturkunde Berlin Abstract: Thailand is one of the countries in Southeast Asia with a remarkably rich but fragmentarily known insect diversity. Since its beginning in 2006, the Thailand Inventory Group for Entomological Research, known as the TIGER-group, has collected about 5,400 specimens of apoid wasps. Here we compare the preliminary results of our taxonomic analysis of this large sample with the published species/genus diversity of Thailand. Within the newly collected material, we recorded 57 genera of apoid wasps, with the following 22 genera listed for the first time for Thailand:Ampulicidae: Trirogma; Sphecidae sensu stricto: Chlorion; Crabronidae: Alyssontinae: Astata, Dryudella; Bembicinae: Alysson, Argogorytes, Brachystegus, Gorytes, Harpactus, Synnevrus; Crabroninae: Entomognathus, Lestica, Miscophus, Nitela, Paranysson, Prosopigastra, Solierella; Pemphredoninae: Ammoplanellus, Diodontus, Mimesa, Pemphredon and Psen. Key words: Aculeata, Sphecidae, Crabronidae, Ampulicidae, apoid wasp, digger wasp, Southeast Asia, Oriental region, Thailand, taxonomy, diversity, biogeography.

Abstract: New data on the distribution of eight Sphecid wasps species (Hymenoptera: Apoidea: Sphecidae) collected from different localities in southern areas of Kerman province (southeast Iran) are presented. The specimens were collected at 21 localities using Malaise traps from April to September 2017. The identified species belong to three subfamilies, Ammophilinae André, 1886 (three species, two genera), Sceliphrinae Ashmead, 1899 (a single species), and Sphecinae Latreille, 1802 (four species, two genera, two tribes). Palmodes parvulus (Roth, 1967) is newly recorded for the Iranian fauna, and its diagnostic characters are presented.
