Statz (1938) listed We describe the first fossil representative of the sub- 124 species of fossil Ichneumonidae from eight lacustrine family Metopiinae, discovered in the Lowermost Eocene outcrops ranging between the Eocene and the Miocene, amber of the Paris basin. The present discovery supports and only 15 species from the Upper Eocene Baltic amber. the hypothesis of a high diversity of the Ichneumonidae Currently, circa 190 species have been described (see during the Paleogene. We follow the standard conven- appendix). Fossil taxa from lacustrine outcrops are main- tions for wing veins proposed by Mason (1986) and the ly based on wing venational characters.

  • Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve
    Arthropods of Elm Fork Preserve Arthropods are characterized by having jointed limbs and exoskeletons. They include a diverse assortment of creatures: Insects, spiders, crustaceans (crayfish, crabs, pill bugs), centipedes and millipedes among others. Column Headings Scientific Name: The phenomenal diversity of arthropods, creates numerous difficulties in the determination of species. Positive identification is often achieved only by specialists using obscure monographs to ‘key out’ a species by examining microscopic differences in anatomy. For our purposes in this survey of the fauna, classification at a lower level of resolution still yields valuable information. For instance, knowing that ant lions belong to the Family, Myrmeleontidae, allows us to quickly look them up on the Internet and be confident we are not being fooled by a common name that may also apply to some other, unrelated something. With the Family name firmly in hand, we may explore the natural history of ant lions without needing to know exactly which species we are viewing. In some instances identification is only readily available at an even higher ranking such as Class. Millipedes are in the Class Diplopoda. There are many Orders (O) of millipedes and they are not easily differentiated so this entry is best left at the rank of Class. A great deal of taxonomic reorganization has been occurring lately with advances in DNA analysis pointing out underlying connections and differences that were previously unrealized. For this reason, all other rankings aside from Family, Genus and Species have been omitted from the interior of the tables since many of these ranks are in a state of flux.

From these organisms, which 15 of parasitoid species were found, those species belonging to 5 families in of the order Hymenoptera (Ichneumonidae, Chalcididae, Eulophidae, Elasmidae, Pteromalidae). Nine of these, in which there were 9 of were ichneumonid wasp species: Xanthopimpla flavolineata, Goryphus basilaris, Xanthopimpla punctata, Itoplectis naranyae, Coccygomimus nipponicus, Coccygomimus aethiops, Phaeogenes sp., Atanyjoppa akonis, Triptognatus sp.

  • Ichneumon Sub-Families This Page Describes the Different Sub-Families of the Ichneumonidae
    Ichneumon Sub-families This page describes the different sub-families of the Ichneumonidae. Their ecology and life histories are summarised, with references to more detailed articles or books. Yorkshire species from each group can be found in the Yorkshire checklist. An asterix indicates that a foreign-language key has been translated into English. One method by which the caterpillars of moths and sawflies which are the hosts of these insects attempt to prevent parasitism is for them to hide under leaves during the day and emerge to feed at night. A number of ichneumonoids, spread through several subfamilies of both ichneumons and braconids, exploit this resource by hunting at night. Most ichneumonoids are blackish, which makes them less obvious to predators, but colour is not important in the dark and many of these nocturnal ones have lost the melanin that provides the dark colour, so they are pale orange. They have often developed the large-eyed, yellowish-orange appearance typical of these nocturnal hunters and individuals are often attracted to light. This key to British species is a draft: http://www.nhm.ac.uk/resources-rx/files/keys-for-nocturnal-workshop-reduced-109651.pdf Subfamily Pimplinae. The insects in this subfamily are all elongate and range from robust, heavily- sculptured ichneumons to slender, smooth-bodied ones. Many of them have the 'normal' parasitoid life-cycle (eggs laid in or on the host larvae, feeding on the hosts' fat bodies until they are full- grown and then killing and consuming the hosts) but there are also some variations within this subfamily.

  • HOVERFLY NEWSLETTER Dipterists
    HOVERFLY NUMBER 41 NEWSLETTER SPRING 2006 Dipterists Forum ISSN 1358-5029 As a new season begins, no doubt we are all hoping for a more productive recording year than we have had in the last three or so. Despite the frustration of recent seasons it is clear that national and international study of hoverflies is in good health, as witnessed by the success of the Leiden symposium and the Recording Scheme’s report (though the conundrum of the decline in UK records of difficult species is mystifying). New readers may wonder why the list of literature references from page 15 onwards covers publications for the year 2000 only. The reason for this is that for several issues nobody was available to compile these lists. Roger Morris kindly agreed to take on this task and to catch up for the missing years. Each newsletter for the present will include a list covering one complete year of the backlog, and since there are two newsletters per year the backlog will gradually be eliminated. Once again I thank all contributors and I welcome articles for future newsletters; these may be sent as email attachments, typed hard copy, manuscript or even dictated by phone, if you wish. Please do not forget the “Interesting Recent Records” feature, which is rather sparse in this issue. Copy for Hoverfly Newsletter No. 42 (which is expected to be issued with the Autumn 2006 Dipterists Forum Bulletin) should be sent to me: David Iliff, Green Willows, Station Road, Woodmancote, Cheltenham, Glos, GL52 9HN, (telephone 01242 674398), email: [email protected], to reach me by 20 June 2006.
