  • 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).

September 1992 A review of Eremiasphecium Kohl, 1897 (Hymenoptera: Sphecidae) Wojciech J. Pulawski Abstract Diagnostic and other taxonomically important characters of Eremiasphecium are discussed. Taukumia KAZENAS, 1991, is synonymized with Eremiasphecium KOHL, 1897. A new species, Eremiasphecium arabicum sp. nov., is descnbed from El Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Eremiasphecium digitatum (GUSSAKOVSKU, 1930), previously known from Kazakhstan and Turkmenistan, is first recorded from Mauritania, and Eremiasphecium schmiedeknechüi, KOHL, 1897, first recorded from the Arabian Peninsula. A catalog of all described species is provided with füll bibliographic and distributional records. Introduction Eremiasphecium is a little known genus that occurs in hot, dry areas from Mauritania and Canary Islands to Mongolia. Specimens are rarely collected, recognition features are not well known, and the original description has been ignored. As a result, four generic names were proposed for the eight species recognized so far. Relationships of Eremiasphecium to other Sphecidae are still controversial because of an unusual combination of characters (BOHART and MENKE, 1976; ALEXANDER, 1990, 1992a, b). Because of scarcity of available 397 © Entomofauna Ansfelden/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at material, ALEXANDER (1992b) assigned some character states to the whole genus, whereas in fact they are found only in some but not all species.

  • Predation by Insects and Mites
    1.2 Predation by insects and mites Maurice W. Sabelis & Paul C.J. van Rijn University of Amsterdam, Section Population Biology, Kruislaan 320, 1098 SM Amsterdam, The Netherlands Predatory arthropods probably play a prominent role in determining the numbers of plant-feeding thrips on plants under natural conditions. Several reviews have been published listing the arthropods observed to feed and reproduce on a diet of thrips. In chronological order the most notable and comprehensive reviews have been presented by Lewis (1973), Ananthakrishnan (1973, 1979, 1984), Ananthakrishnan and Sureshkumar (1985) and Riudavets (1995) (see also general arthropod enemy inventories published by Thompson and Simmonds (1965), Herting and Simmonds (1971) and Fry (1987)). Numerous arthropods, recognised as predators of phytophagous thrips, have proven their capacity to eliminate or suppress thrips populations in greenhouse and field crops of agricultural importance (see chapters 16 and 18 of Lewis, 1997), but a detailed analysis of the relative importance of predators, parasitoids, parasites and pathogens under natural conditions is virtually absent. Such investigations would improve understanding of the mortality factors and selective forces moulding thrips behaviour and life history, and also indicate new directions for biological control of thrips. In particular, such studies may help to elucidate the consequences of introducing different types of biological control agents against different pests and diseases in the same crop, many of which harbour food webs of increasing complexity. There are three major reasons why food web complexity on plants goes beyond one- predator-one-herbivore systems. First, it is the plant that exhibits a bewildering variety of traits that promote or reduce the effectiveness of the predator.

  • TIGER-Wasps – a Preliminary Review of the Apoid Wasp Diversity in Thailand (Hymenoptera: Apoidea)

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.
