Box 37012, MRC-168, Washington, DC 20013-7012 U.S.A. (e-mail: [email protected]) Abstract.—Coiba jeffersoni Kula, new species from the Nearctic Region and Coiba marshi Kula, new species from the Neotropical Region are described. A diagnosis is provided for both species, as is a key to the New World species of Coiba. Coiba jeffersoni likely attacks wood-boring beetle larvae, as label data indicate that specimens were reared from Carya ovata (Mill.) K. Koch (shagbark hickory), Juglans nigra L. (black walnut), and an undetermined species of Quercus L. (oak). The first records of Coiba dentatus Marsh in Brazil and Coiba woldai Marsh in Venezuela are reported.

PENTEADO-DIAS2 1, 2 Universidade Federal de São Carlos - DEBE, Caixa Postal 676, CEP 13565.905, São Carlos, SP, Brasil. e-mail: [email protected] Abstract One new species of the genus Pedinotus is described from Brazil. This new species is similar to P. variegatus Marsh, but differs by having a dorsally rugose propodeum with distinct median and lateral carinae and no areola. Key words: Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Doryctinae, Pedinotus Introduction The subfamily Doryctinae is one of the most diverse groups in the family Braconidae within the superfamily Ichneumonoidea. These wasps belong to the cyclostome Bra- conidae, which have a circular or oval oral opening formed by a concave clypeus and labrum (Sharkey, 1993; Marsh, 1997). According to Gauld & Hanson (1995) this subfam- ily appears to be monophyletic by the presence of two synapomorphies: a row of spines in the fore tibia and a double node on the dorsal valve of the ovipositor. Besides these charac- teristics, a cubic head with occipital carina is usually recognized. The wasps vary greatly in size, color and sculpture. Their biology is very poorly known. Most of species are idiobiont ectoparasitoids of wood-boring beetle larvae, but a few are known to attack stem boring lepidopterous and sawfly larvae (Marsh, 1997). Material and Methods This paper presents the description of a new species belonging to the genus Pedinotus Szé- pligeti, captured in Peruíbe, São Paulo state, Brazil, by sweeping vegetation.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

  • Progress in the Classical Biological Control of Agrilus Planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in North America Leah S
    300 Progress in the classical biological control of Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) in North America Leah S. Bauer,1 Jian J. Duan, Juli R. Gould, Roy Van Driesche Abstract—First detected in North America in 2002, the emerald ash borer (EAB) (Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire; Coleoptera: Buprestidae), an invasive phloem-feeding beetle from Asia, has killed tens of millions of ash (Fraxinus Linnaeus; Oleaceae) trees. Although few parasitoids attack EAB in North America, three parasitoid species were found attacking EAB in China: the egg parasitoid Oobius agrili Zhang and Huang (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) and two larval parasitoids Tetrastichus planipennisi Yang (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) and Spathius agrili Yang (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). In 2007, classical biological control of EAB began in the United States of America after release of these three species was approved. In 2013, release of the larval parasitoids was approved in Canada. Research continues at study sites in Michigan, United States of America where the establishment, prevalence, and spread of O. agrili and T. planipennisi have been monitored since 2008. However, establishment of S. agrili remains unconfirmed in northern areas, and its release is now restricted to regions below the 40th parallel. In 2015, approval for release of Spathius galinae Belokobylskij (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), an EAB larval parasitoid from the Russian Far East, may be granted in the United States of America. Researchers are guardedly optimistic that a complex of introduced and native natural enemies will regulate EAB densities below a tolerance threshold for survival of ash species or genotypes in forested ecosystems.

  • Biology and Behavior of Spathius Agrili, a Parasitoid of the Emerald Ash Borer, Agrilus Planipennis, in China

Biology and behavior of Spathius agrili, a parasitoid of the emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis, in China Zhong-Qi Yang1a, Xiao-Yi Wang1, Juli R. Gould2, Richard C. Reardon3, Yi-Nan Zhang1, Gui- Jun Liu4, and En-Shan Liu4 1The Key Laboratory of Forest Protection, State Forestry Administration of China, Research Institute of Forest Ecology, Environment and Protection, Chinese Academy of Forestry, Beijing 100091, China 2Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, United States Department of Agriculture, 1398 West Truck Road, Buzzards Bay, MA 02542, USA 3Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team, USDA Forest Service, 180 Canfield St., Morgantown, WV 26505, USA 4Guangang Forest Park, Dagang District, Tianjin 300270, China Abstract Spathius agrili Yang (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is a gregarious larval ectoparasitoid of the emerald ash borer, Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire (Coleoptera: Buprestidae) and is a recently described species. Both pest and parasitoid are native to China. In Tianjin City, China, S. agrili typically exhibited 3-4 generations per year, overwintering as a prepupa in a cocoon inside the host gallery. The multiple generations of S. agrili overlapped with its host, as did the emergence dates of the overwintering generation. From a single host, 1-18 S. agrili successfully developed to the adult stage (average 8.4), but in all cases the host was killed. The sex ratio (female: male) of the parasitoid adults emerging from field-collected cocoons was 2:1, whereas the sex ratio of parasitoids reared from field collected eggs and larvae was greater than 3:1. On average, adult females lived 29.1 d, and males lived 23.6 d when fed with 20% honey solution, significantly longer than without a nutritional supplement.

KULA Systematic Entomology Laboratory, Beltsville Agricultural Research Center, Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agri- culture, c/o National Museum of Natural History, Smithsonian Institution, P.O. Box 37012, MRC-168, Washington, DC 20013-7012, U.S.A. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract One new species of Alysiinae, Coelinius wrayi Kula, is described. Pentapleura foveolata Viereck, also in Alysiinae and previously known only from a male collected at the type locality in Connecticut, is redescribed based on six females and two males collected at Mountain Lake Biological Station (MLBS) in Virginia. Morphological variation for Alysia (Alysia) salebrosa Wharton is discussed given variation observed in specimens from MLBS. Sixty-two species of Braconidae col- lected at MLBS in August of 2009 are listed along with 12 species reported previously from MLBS. Host use for the 62 species is discussed; 31 are in Alysiinae or Opiinae, subfamilies that exclusively contain parasitoids of cyclorrhaphous flies. Fifteen species are reported from Virginia for the first time. Problematic couplets in a key to species of Spathius Nees for North America (Marsh & Strazanac 2009) are discussed using specimens from MLBS.
