Kasparyan Д.Р. Каспарян Dmitriy R. Kasparyan, Zoological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences, 1 Universitetskaya Emb., St Petersburg 199034, Russia. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract. A new species of the subfamily Ctenopelmatinae, Syndipnus depressus sp. nov. with strong dorsoventral compression of the metasoma, is described from Poland. Similarity of the new species to two ctenopelmatine species of the tribe Mesoleiini (Mesoleius phyllotomae Cushman, 1933 and M. aceris Shaw et Kasparyan, 2003), endoparasitoids of leaf mining sawflies of the genusHeterarthrus Stephens, 1835 (Tenthredinidae: Heterarthrinae), suggests that the new species may have similar hosts.

Several cladograms using the complete species sample, but obtained with different weightings, are presented. Local studies were also carried out to provide possible alternate topologies. The deep nodes of the trees were unstable and were never supported, but most of the superficial nodes were stable and robust. The results therefore provide support for a generic classification of the subfamily. The large genus Eurytoma – which includes about half of the described species of the subfamily – proved to be polyphyletic, and is redefined in a nar- rowed sense using putative synapomorphies. Bruchophagus and Prodecatoma were similarly redefined. The genera Philolema and Aximopsis are reconsidered and defined in a broader concept. A number of the species presently included in Eurytoma were transferred to these genera. Finally, 22 new generic synonymies are proposed and 33 spe- cies are transferred. The study also demonstrates that the Eurytomidae are polyphyletic.

Larvae are slimy, slug-like, and shiny olive-green to blackish in color. They are 12 mm long when full grown. Life history: Adults emerge early in June and lay single eggs on leaf undersides. Larvae appear in June, feed for about a month, then drop to the soil to pupate. A second generation can begin in early August. Overwintering: Prepupae in the soil.

The rose aphid has a wide distribution, feeding on roses throughout the USA. Rose aphids are soft-bodied, pear-shaped insects, approximately 0.63 cm or 1/4 inch in length. They can vary in color from green to pink to red. Rose aphids have two tubes (called cornicles) that protrude out from the end of abdomen, which is where alarm pheromones are emitted. Rose aphids overwinter as eggs on rose canes. Rose aphids generally initiate feeding on roses in early spring as the new flush of growth emerges. They feed on plant fluids within the phloem sieve tubes (food-conducting tissues) with their piercing-sucking mouthparts. Similar to other aphid species, rose aphids tend to congregate or cluster in large numbers feeding on the terminal growth including leaves and stems, and developing flower buds, and on leaf undersides. Their feeding causes leaves to curl downward and deforms flower buds, which may result in flower buds aborting or falling off prematurely before opening. In addition, aphids produce honeydew, which is a clear sticky liquid exudate emitted during feeding. Honeydew attracts ants, wasps, hornets, and serves as a growing medium for black sooty mold fungi.

  • 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.

Fauna and distribution of Ctenopelmatinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) in the Hyrcanian forests, Mazandaran province (northern Iran) is studied. Specimens were collected during 2009 and 2016 using malaise traps. Five species were identified, out of which two genera i.e. Ctenopelma Holmgren, 1857 and Sympherta Förster, 1869 and four species i.e. Ctenopelma rufiventre (Gravenhorst, 1829), Mesoleius filicornis Holmgren, 1876, Perilissus pallidus (Gravenhorst, 1829) and Sympherta antilope (Gravenhorst, 1829) are new records for the Iranian fauna. The list of the known species of the Ctenopelmatinae in Iran is updated. Altitudinal distribution of the identified species across the Hyrcanian forests is provided. Key words: Ichneumonidae, distribution, taxonomy, new record, Iran.

Simple Summary: Tenthredinidae is the most speciose family of the paraphyletic ancestral grade Symphyta, including mainly phytophagous lineages. The subfamilial classification of this family has long been problematic with respect to their monophyly and/or phylogenetic placements. This article reports four complete sawfly mitogenomes of Cladiucha punctata, C. magnoliae, Megabeleses magnoliae, and M. liriodendrovorax for the first time. To investigate the mitogenome characteristics of Tenthredinidae, we also compare them with the previously reported tenthredinid mitogenomes.
