The sting of the Aculeata or stinging wasps is a modifed ovipositor; its function (killing or paralyzing prey, defense against predators) and the associated anatomical changes are apomorphic for Aculeata. The change in the purpose of the ovipositor/sting from being primarily an egg laying device to being primarily a weapon has resulted in modifcation of its handling that is supported by specifc morphological adaptations. Here, we focus on the sheaths of the sting (3rd valvulae = gonoplacs) in Aculeata, which do not penetrate and envenom the prey but are responsible for cleaning the ovipositor proper and protecting it from damage, identifcation of the substrate for stinging, and, in some taxa, contain glands that produce alarm pheromones.

E-mail: [email protected] The Blacinae Foerster, 1862 is a cosmopolitan subfamily of Braconidae (Hymenoptera), with five tribes and 14 genera (van Achterberg 1976, 1988). The genus Xyeloblacus van Achterberg, 1997 is the only member of the tribe Xyeloblacini van Achterberg with two known species in the world (van Achterberg and Altenhofer, 1997; Yu et al., 2005). van Achterberg and Altenhofer (1997) mentioned four important characters for Xyeloblacus as follows: the straight ventral margin of the clypeus, the crenulate anterior subalar depression, the curved vein 1-1A of fore wing, and the presence of vein 2A of hind wing. The members of this genus are parasitoids of Xyela spp. (Xyeloidea: Xyelidae) (van Achterberg and Altenhofer, 1997). In this paper, the genus Xyeloblacus is reported for the first time from China with one new species, X. longithecus sp. nov., described. A key to species of this genus is updated. The terminology and measurements used in this paper follow van Achterberg (1976, 1988, 1990).

E-mail: [email protected] Abstract – New and earlier unpublished faunistic records of Stephanus serrator (Fabricius, 1798) are presented for Romania. Notes on collecting sites, phenology and morphology are given. With 4 fi gures and 1 table. Key words – Stephanidae, suburban habitats, Carpathian Basin INTRODUCTION Th e superfamily Stephanoidea contains a single cosmopolitan family: Ste- pha ni dae Leach, 1815. Stephanidae is most probably the oldest group of parasi- toid Hymenoptera, with 332 extant species belonging to 11 genera (Achter berg & Yang 2004, Aguiar 2004). Th e species mostly occur in tropical and subtropi- cal forests, but several species inhabit arid and semiarid areas too. Th e Oriental region is where species of Stephanidae are the most abundant (Aguiar 2004). Th e history of the taxonomic position of stephanids began with their place- ment in Ichneumonidae (Zschach 1788). Later Fabricius (1804) placed them in Braconidae, which was followed by their inclusion in the Evanioidea by Jurine (1807). Th eir assignment to the superfamily Stephanoidea was done in the 20th century. Benoit (1949) suggested what Rasnitsyn (1969) fi nally did, so in consequence the Stephanoidea contained only Stephanidae (Aguiar 2004). At present Stephanidae has two extant (Schlettereriinae Orfi la, 1949 and Stephaninae Enderlein, 1905) and one extinct (Electrostephaninae Engel, 2005) subfamilies, from which only one, the Stephaninae is present in Europe.

  • Phylogeny and Classification of the Orussidae
    Blackwell Science, LtdOxford, UKZOJZoological Journal of the Linnean Society0024-4082The Lin- nean Society of London, 2003? 2003 139? 337418 Original Article L. VILHELMSENPHYLOGENY AND CLASSIFICATION OF ORUSSIDAE Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2003, 139, 337–418. With 119 figures Phylogeny and classification of the Orussidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera), a basal parasitic wasp taxon LARS VILHELMSEN* Zoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen Ø, Denmark Received November 2002; accepted for publication March 2003 The Orussidae is a small family of parasitic wasps, comprising 75 species worldwide. It occupies a key position within the Hymenoptera, being the sistergroup of the Apocrita, a taxon containing all other parasitic wasps. In total, 163 morphological characters were scored for 74 species of Orussidae and five outgroup taxa. The dataset was analysed under different weighting schemes. The results do not support a single phylogenetic hypothesis, but most relation- ships were retrieved in the majority of the cladistic analyses. Earlier attempts at tribal and subfamily classifications of the Orussidae are not corroborated. Enforcing a strictly cladistic classification at these levels would require the recognition of many redundant taxa without enhancing the information content. It is proposed that formal recog- nition of tribes and subfamilies within the Orussidae be abandoned. The generic concepts of the family are revised. Sixteen genera are recognized; detailed descriptions and illustrations of each are provided, as is a key to the genera. The monophyly of most genera as defined here is well supported, with the exception of Guiglia Benson, 1938. Guiglia is retained because alternatives to monophyly of this genus are not well supported either.

Genomes of the Hymenoptera Abstract Hymenoptera is the second-most sequenced arthropod order, with 52 publically archived genomes (71 with ants, reviewed elsewhere), however these genomes do not capture the breadth of this very diverse order (Figure 1, Table 1). These sequenced genomes represent only 15 of the 97 extant families. Although at least 55 other genomes are in progress in an additional 11 families (see Table 2), stinging wasps represent 35 (67%) of the available and 42 (76%) of the in progress genomes.

  • Bees and Wasps of the East Sussex South Downs
    A SURVEY OF THE BEES AND WASPS OF FIFTEEN CHALK GRASSLAND AND CHALK HEATH SITES WITHIN THE EAST SUSSEX SOUTH DOWNS Steven Falk, 2011 A SURVEY OF THE BEES AND WASPS OF FIFTEEN CHALK GRASSLAND AND CHALK HEATH SITES WITHIN THE EAST SUSSEX SOUTH DOWNS Steven Falk, 2011 Abstract For six years between 2003 and 2008, over 100 site visits were made to fifteen chalk grassland and chalk heath sites within the South Downs of Vice-county 14 (East Sussex). This produced a list of 227 bee and wasp species and revealed the comparative frequency of different species, the comparative richness of different sites and provided a basic insight into how many of the species interact with the South Downs at a site and landscape level. The study revealed that, in addition to the character of the semi-natural grasslands present, the bee and wasp fauna is also influenced by the more intensively-managed agricultural landscapes of the Downs, with many species taking advantage of blossoming hedge shrubs, flowery fallow fields, flowery arable field margins, flowering crops such as Rape, plus plants such as buttercups, thistles and dandelions within relatively improved pasture. Some very rare species were encountered, notably the bee Halictus eurygnathus Blüthgen which had not been seen in Britain since 1946. This was eventually recorded at seven sites and was associated with an abundance of Greater Knapweed. The very rare bees Anthophora retusa (Linnaeus) and Andrena niveata Friese were also observed foraging on several dates during their flight periods, providing a better insight into their ecology and conservation requirements.

  • 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).
