  • Forestgeo Arthropod Initiative Annual Report 2018
    FORESTGEO ARTHROPOD INITIATIVE ANNUAL REPORT 2018 Program coordinator: Yves Basset, Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI), [email protected] I. BACKGROUND AND PARTICIPATING FORESTGEO SITES The ‘Arthropod Initiative’ of the Center for Tropical Forest Science (CTFS) aims at monitoring key arthropod assemblages over long-term and studying insect-plant interactions over the network of the Forest Global Earth Observatories (ForestGEO, https://forestgeo.si.edu/research-programs/arthropod-initiative). The Initiative integrates with ongoing monitoring of plant dynamics within the ForestGEO network, causes minimum possible impact to the plots and focus on a priority set of assemblages chosen for their ecological relevance, taxonomic tractability and ease of sampling. At each participating ForestGEO site, the first years of the program are usually devoted to a ‘baseline’ survey. The baseline survey is followed by longer-term programs of field work and analysis, organized into two main sub-programs: monitoring, and key interaction studies. The monitoring sub-program is directed to detecting long-term changes, as reflected in priority assemblages, driven by climatic cycles, climatic change and landscape scale habitat alteration. Monitoring protocols are derived from those used during the baseline survey. The food web approach of interaction studies targets interactions between plants and specific insect assemblages, with different protocols than those used for monitoring. So far, the Arthropod Initiative involves nine ForestGEO sites: Yasuni in Ecuador, Barro Colorado Island (BCI) in Panama, Rabi in Gabon, Khao Chong (KHC) in Thailand, Tai Po Kau (Hong Kong), Dinghushan and Xishuangbanna (XTBG) in China, Bukit Timah in Singapore and Wanang (WAN) in Papua New Guinea. At BCI, four full-time research assistants were in charge of arthropod monitoring protocols in 2018: Filonila Perez, Ricardo Bobadilla, Yacksecari Lopez and Alejandro Ramirez.

  • Identification Key to the Subfamilies of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera)
    Identification key to the subfamilies of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) Gavin Broad Dept. of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK Notes on the key, February 2011 This key to ichneumonid subfamilies should be regarded as a test version and feedback will be much appreciated (emails to [email protected]). Many of the illustrations are provisional and more characters need to be illustrated, which is a work in progress. Many of the scanning electron micrographs were taken by Sondra Ward for Ian Gauld’s series of volumes on the Ichneumonidae of Costa Rica. Many of the line drawings are by Mike Fitton. I am grateful to Pelle Magnusson for the photographs of Brachycyrtus ornatus and for his suggestion as to where to include this subfamily in the key. Other illustrations are my own work. Morphological terminology mostly follows Fitton et al. (1988). A comprehensively illustrated list of morphological terms employed here is in development. In lateral views, the anterior (head) end of the wasp is to the left and in dorsal or ventral images, the anterior (head) end is uppermost. There are a few exceptions (indicated in figure legends) and these will rectified soon. Identifying ichneumonids Identifying ichneumonids can be a daunting process, with about 2,400 species in Britain and Ireland. These are currently classified into 32 subfamilies (there are a few more extralimitally). Rather few of these subfamilies are reconisable on the basis of simple morphological character states, rather, they tend to be reconisable on combinations of characters that occur convergently and in different permutations across various groups of ichneumonids.

    643 Review of the species of Trichomalus (Chalcidoidea: Pteromalidae) associated with Ceutorhynchus (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) host species of European origin Franck J. Muller CABI Europe—Switzerland, Rue des Grillons 1, 2800 Delémont, Switzerland Hannes Baur Department of Invertebrates, Natural History Museum, Bernastrasse 15, CH-3005 Bern, Switzerland Gary A.P. Gibson, Peter G. Mason Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Biodiversity and Integrated Pest Management, Research Centre, 960 Carling Avenue, Ottawa, Canada Ulrich Kuhlmann1 CABI Europe—Switzerland, Rue des Grillons 1, 2800 Delémont, Switzerland Abstract—Six species of Trichomalus Thomson were reared as parasitoids of Ceutorhynchinae hosts in Europe during surveys in 2000–2004. Trichomalus rusticus (Walker) is treated as a valid species, resurrected from synonymy under T. lucidus (Walker), and T. lyttus (Walker) is trans- ferred from synonymy under T. lucidus and newly placed in synonymy with T. rusticus. Illus- trated keys to females and males are given to differentiate the six species (T. bracteatus (Walker), T. campestris (Walker), T. gynetelus (Walker), T. lucidus, T. perfectus (Walker), and T. rusticus) except for males of T. bracteatus and T. gynetelus. A lectotype female is designated for T. rusticus. Trichomalus campestris is newly recorded as a parasitoid of Ceutorhynchus cardariae Korotyaev. Implications of the host–parasitoid associations recovered by the surveys are dis- cussed relative to introduction of species to North America for classical biological control. Résumé—Six espèces de Trichomalus Thomson ont été élevées en tant que parasitoïdes de Ceu- torhynchinae en Europe lors de périodes d’échantillonnage entre 2000 et 2004. Trichomalus rus- ticus (Walker) est traité comme espèce valide et non plus comme synonyme de T.

Members of the Homolobinae are large size and have an "ophionoid facies". The genus Homolobus Förster, 1862 is the largest genera of the subfamily with about 55 known species in the world and 20 species of it are known in the Palaearctic region (Yu et al., 2012). Members of Homolobus are solitary koinobiont endoparasitoids of Lepidopteran larvae (Shaw & Huddleston, 1991; Kenis et al., 2005), but has a final ectoparasitic phase (Allen, 1982).
