This is one of the largest taxa of all animal groups, and includes more species than the entire subphylum Vertebrata and more than any other insect family with the possible exception of the coleopterous family Curculionidae (Townes, 1969). According to Yu et al. (2012), 1,579 genera and 24,281 species of Ichneumonidae (including fossil species) have been described from all over the world, but these are thought to be a small proportion of the actual numbers. Townes (1969) calculated that there were 60,000 species of ichneumonids in the world, but most current researchers have considered this as an underestimate. For example, Gauld (2002) estimates the number of ichneumonid species to be more than 100,000. Ichneumonids are distributed across the whole world except for the polar regions, and are commonly found in a wide variety of environments such as waterside vegetation, deserts, tropical rainforests, temperate regions, grasslands, and even in suburban gardens (Gauld, 1991). The classification of this parasitoid family has long been based on morphological characteristics such as body proportion, surface structure, wing venation, hair distribution, and so forth. The use of body color has also been common for species identification, because of the ease of using this characteristic and the fact that it is reliable in some instances (Quicke et al., 2006). However, there is often large intraspecific variation in body color as well as in other morphological characters due to both genetic and environmental factors (Abe et al., 2013). Thanks to recent developments in molecular taxonomy, mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequencing have increasingly been used for the species-level classification of parasitoid wasps (e.g., Quicke et al., 2006; Rugman-Jones et al., 2009; Stigenberg et al., 2011). Accurate biological classification using both morphological and molecular data is now possible and practical, but many parasitoid groups are still far from seeing the benefit of molecular taxonomy. 1. 2 Subfamily Acaenitinae The subfamily Acaenitinae is a small taxa of the family Ichneumonidae, and 27 genera and about 275 species have been recorded from around the world, of which 82 are known from the Palearctic region, 21 from the Nearctic region, 77 from the Oriental 2 region, 56 from the Ethiopian region, five from the Australian region, and three from the Neotropical region (Yu et al. 2012). 1. 2. 1 Phylogeny This subfamily is defined by having the following four shared-derived character-states: clypeus with a rounded declivity at midpoint, propodeal spiracle elongate, metasomal tergite 2 with anterolateral carinae, and female hypopygium large and triangular (Wahl & Gauld, 1998). The subfamily Acaenitinae had been divided into two tribes: Acaenitini and Coleocentrini. Acaenitini had the following five character-states in common: fore and mid tarsal claws with an acute accessory tooth (without it in Coleocentrini), frons with a median vertical carina (without it in Coleocentrini), forewing vein 3rs-m absent (present in Coleocentrini), teeth on apex of lower valve of ovipositor reduced or absent (well developed in Coleocentrini), and fifth hind tarsomere longer than the second one (as long as second one in Coleocentrini) (Townes, 1971). However, Wahl and Gauld (1998) reported that the above characters of Coleocentrini were plesiomorphic with respect to the characters used to define Acaenitini based on their morphological phylogenetic analysis, and now these tribes are usually not accepted. Nevertheless, molecular phylogenetic relationships among genera of the subfamily Acaenitinae remain unresolved. 1. 2. 2 Bionomics Ichneumonids

The pest is known to feed primarily on maize which is a staple food in the continent. Since then, farmers have been using chemical insecticides to control the pest. Chemical insecticides are expensive and harmful to the environment. In this article, the authors Albasini Caniço, António Mexia, and Luisa Santos discuss the possibility of application of an alternative method of control known to be environmentally friendly and economically sustainable in the long term. The method, known as “biological control”, can be easily implemented by farmers, and has the potential to reduce the population of the insect pest and production costs, and bring long term benefits to the environment.

The newly discovered female of Exochus hirsutus TOLKANITZ is described and figured. Data of 40 Metopiinae species from Bulgaria and related regions are presented. Of them 19 species are new records to the Bulgarian fauna, 3 species new to Macedonia, 12 species new to Greece, 3 species new to Turkey and 1 species new to Iran (marked in the text by asterisk). K e y w o r d s : Metopiinae, Ichneumonidae, Bulgaria, new records, description. Introduction Metopiinae is a medium-sized ichneumonid subfamily comprising 22 genera and about 660 species worldwide (YU & HORSTMANN 1997). They are koinobiont endoparasitoids of lepidopterous larvae, living usually in leaf rolls or folds on plants. Oviposition takes place into the host larva, but the adult emergence always occurs from the pupa. A key to the genera is given by TOWNES (1971). The Bulgarian Metopiinae fauna is not well studied. The first reports were made by TSCHORBADJIEW (1925). Until now 49 species from Bulgaria were reported mainly by GREGOR (1933), ANGELOV & GEMANOV (1969), GERMANOV (1980) and KOLAROV (1984). In the present paper data for 40 species are given. Of them 19 species are new records to the Bulgarian fauna, 3 species new to Macedonia, 12 species new to Greece, 3 species new to Turkey and 1 species new to Iran. For the other species new localities are added. The newly discovered female of Exochus hirsutus TOLKANITZ is described and figured for the first time.

    FOREST ENTOMOLOGY Bark Beetle Pheromones and Pine Volatiles: Attractant Kairomone Lure Blend for Longhorn Beetles (Cerambycidae) in Pine Stands of the Southeastern United States 1,2 3 1 4 DANIEL R. MILLER, CHRIS ASARO, CHRISTOPHER M. CROWE, AND DONALD A. DUERR J. Econ. Entomol. 104(4): 1245Ð1257 (2011); DOI: 10.1603/EC11051 ABSTRACT In 2006, we examined the ßight responses of 43 species of longhorn beetles (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) to multiple-funnel traps baited with binary lure blends of 1) ipsenol ϩ ipsdienol, 2) ethanol ϩ ␣-pinene, and a quaternary lure blend of 3) ipsenol ϩ ipsdienol ϩ ethanol ϩ ␣-pinene in the southeastern United States. In addition, we monitored responses of Buprestidae, Elateridae, and Curculionidae commonly associated with pine longhorn beetles. Field trials were conducted in mature pine (Pinus pp.) stands in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, and Virginia. The following species preferred traps baited with the quaternary blend over those baited with ethanol ϩ ␣-pinene: Acanthocinus nodosus (F.), Acanthocinus obsoletus (Olivier), Astylopsis arcuata (LeConte), Astylopsis sexguttata (Say), Monochamus scutellatus (Say), Monochamus titillator (F.) complex, Rhagium inquisitor (L.) (Cerambycidae), Buprestis consularis Gory, Buprestis lineata F. (Buprestidae), Ips avulsus (Eichhoff), Ips calligraphus (Germar), Ips grandicollis (Eichhoff), Orthotomicus caelatus (Eichhoff), and Gna- thotrichus materiarus (Fitch) (Curculionidae). The addition of ipsenol and ipsdienol had no effect on catches of 17 other species of bark and wood boring beetles in traps baited with ethanol and ␣-pinene. Ethanol ϩ ␣-pinene interrupted the attraction of Ips avulsus, I. grandicollis, and Pityophthorus Eichhoff spp. (but not I. calligraphus) (Curculionidae) to traps baited with ipsenol ϩ ipsdienol. Our results support the use of traps baited with a quaternary blend of ipsenol ϩ ipsdienol ϩ ethanol ϩ ␣-pinene for common saproxylic beetles in pine forests of the southeastern United States.

  • 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.
