Entomol. Fennica 29: 8696. Pseudogonalos hahnii is the only known species of Trigonalidae in Europe. It is a hyperparasitoid of lepidopteran larvae via ichneumonid primary parasitoids. Possibly, it has also been reared from a symphytan larva. We report the species for the first time from Estonia, Lithuania and Russian Fennoscandia, and list all known observations from Finland and Latvia. An overview of the biology of the species is presented with a list of all known host records. S. Väänänen, Vantaa, Finland; E-mail: [email protected] J.

Ulmer1, Marcus Zuber2, Tilo Baumbach2,3 and Andrew R.

Conostigmus talamasi Mikó and Trietsch, sp. nov. from Baltic amber represents an intermediate form between the type genus, Megaspilus, and one of the most species-rich megaspilid genera, Conostigmus. We describe the new species using 3D data collected with synchrotron-based micro-CT equipment. This non-invasive technique allows for quick data collection in unusually high resolution, revealing morphological traits that are otherwise obscured by the amber. In describing this new species, we revise the diagnostic characters for Ceraphronoidea and discuss possible reasons why minute wasps with a pterostigma are often misidentified as cer- aphronoids.

  • WENTLOOGE LEVEL INVERTEBRATE SURVEY, 2019 David Boyce
    WENTLOOGE LEVEL INVERTEBRATE SURVEY, 2019 David Boyce DC Boyce Ecologist October 2019 1. INTRODUCTION This report details the findings of an invertebrate survey carried out under contract to Green Ecology. The survey aims to assess the importance for invertebrates of the area of Wentlooge Level shown on Figure 2.1 below. The site is in Wales, on the Gwent Levels; an extensive area of grazing marsh on the north-western side of the Bristol Channel. Wentlooge Level lies in the western part of this area, between the cities of Cardiff to the west and Newport to the east. A central grid reference for the site approximates to ST276817. The grazing marsh ditches of the Gwent Levels support a nationally important assemblage of aquatic plants and invertebrates. It also has one of the last remaining UK populations of the threatened shrill carder bumblebee Bombus sylvarum. For these reasons, much of the area is notified as a series of Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). The whole of the Wentlooge Level site lies within the Gwent Levels – St. Brides SSSI. Both the shrill carder bumblebee and the brown-banded carder bumblebee Bombus humilis, which also has a strong population on the Gwent Levels, are additionally listed in Section 7 of the Environment (Wales) Act 2016 as Species of Principal Importance for the conservation of biodiversity in Wales. 2. METHODS The first phase of survey work was undertaken in two blocks of two days, the first session being carried out on the 1st and 2nd of May 2019 and the second on the 22nd and 23rd May.

Sienkiewicza 21, 50-335 Wrocław, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Twenty three species of Platygastrinae (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) new to the fauna of Poland. New distributional records of twenty three species of Platygastrinae (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) are given, all reported for the first time from Poland: Gastrotrypes caudatus Brues, Leptacis coryphe BUHL, Platygaster betularia kieffer, P. damokles (BUHL), P. frater BUHL, P. germanica BUHL, P. gracilipes HUGGERT, P. microsculpturata BUHL, P. philinna walker, P. robiniae Buhl & Duso, P. signata (foerster), P. soederlundi BUHL, P. splendidula RUTHE, P. striatithorax BUHL, P. varicornis BUHL, Prosactogaster erdosi szelenyi, Synopeas convexum thomson, S. doczkali BUHL, S. fungorum BUHL, S. jasius (walker), S. noyesi BUHL, S. osaces (walker) and Trichacis pisis (walker). The new records increase the number of Platygastrinae known to occur in Poland to 124 species. KEY WORDS: Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea, Platygastridae, Platygastrinae; faunistics, new records, Poland. INTRODUCTION Since the synopsis of GarBarczyk (1997), who listed from Poland 56 species of Platygastrinae (i.e., Platygastridae excluding Scelionidae and Sceliotrachelidae, as accepted by most authors today), a substantial progress has been made in the faunistic study of this group of tiny parasitoid wasps. Two species, Synopeas bialowiezaensis BUHL, 2005 and Platygaster polonica Buhl & Jałoszyński, 2016a were described based on specimens known only from Poland, and Inostemma kaponeni BUHL, 2005 was described from Finland and Poland.
