A total of 36 species are included in the ingroup. Maximum likelihood analyses recovered a strongly supported monophyletic clade circumscribing the subfamily Ateleutinae. Five main clades were recovered in the sub- family, but relationships between these clades were mostly poorly supported. A new genus is identified and described: Duwalia Santos gen. nov. from Australia, which corresponds to the earliest known diverging lineage of Ateleutinae. Duwalia perula Santos sp. nov. is described and illustrated. The genus Ateleute is shown to be paraphyletic with respect to Tamaulipeca, but further studies with more intense sampling of the Neotropical fauna are needed in order to provide a comprehensive classification of the genera within this subfamily. Ateleute boitata Santos sp. nov., a mor- phologically aberrant species from South America, is described to highlight the morphological diversity in the genus. All Old World species of Ateleute are recovered in a single clade. Ateleute grossa is newly recorded as a parasitoid of Oiketicus kirbyi (Lepidoptera: Psychidae). Diagnoses and identification keys to the genera of Ateleutinae are provided. ADDITIONAL KEYWORDS: Cryptinae – Psychidae – bagworm – parasite – Duwalia – Ateleute – Tamaulipeca.

Acta Universitatis Agriculturae et Silviculturae Mendelianae Brunensis, 65(1): 0167–0170. The subfamily Cryptinae Kirby, 1837 is considered the largest group in the Ichneumonidae with more than 400 described genera including around 4500 species. The subfamily has a worldwide distribution and its members play a key role in the biological control as parasitoids of many important pests. The study provides a new and updated overview of the Slovakian ichneumonid fauna after 28 years. So far over 750 species of Ichneumonidae have been reported from Slovakia, including around 150 species in the subfamily Cryptinae. Our study presents a complete checklist of Cryptinae and adds 32 species to the Slovakian fauna.

Kasparyan started his extensive study of Mexican Icheumonidae in 1998 as a profes- sor of the Universidad Autónoma de Tamaulipas in Cd. Victoria, Mexico. From 2000 to 2013, he has published two monographs and 38 journal articles on Mexican Ichneumonidae, where he described 7 new genera and 168 species and subspecies belonging to 10 subfamilies of Ichneumonidae, and provided a large number of new faunistic and host records. All new genera and 83 % of described species and sub- species belong to the Cryptinae, one of the most difficult, in terms of identification, and poorly known ichneumonid subfamilies. At the present day, as a result of work by D.R. Kasparyan and collaborators, over 1300 species and 343 genera belonging to 28 ichneumonid subfamilies are known from Mexico. Here we provide a complete list of new taxa described by D.R. Kasparyan from Mexico, all his mono- graphs and journal articles on Mexican Icheumonidae, and the most important publications in memoirs and collections of papers.

The Ichneumonidae, one of the largest insect families, includes beneficial insects parasitizing several pests. Due to the geographic and climatic varability of Iran, a great Ichneumonidae diversity may be expected, but our knowledge about fauna and biodiversity of this family in Iran is still insufficient, with only a few sporadic biodiversity studies on Iranian ichneumonids. This paper examines the alpha diversity, species evenness, species richness and beta diversity of the Ichneumonid parasitoid wasp assemblages in Golestan Province, northeastern Iran with an emphasis on the two largest Ichneumonid subfamilies: Cryptinae and Ichneumoninae. The spatial diversity of Ichneumonidae in two consecutive years was studied in three habitats: forest, rangeland and orchards. A total of 336 specimens representing 62 genera and 97 species were collected and identified.

Invertebrates of the H.J. Andrews Experimental Forest, western Cascade Range, Oregon. V: An annotated list of insects and other arthropods. Gen. Tech. Rep. PNW-GTR-290. Portland, OR: U.S. Department of Agriculture, Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station. 168 p. An annotated list of species of insects and other arthropods that have been col- lected and studies on the H.J. Andrews Experimental forest, western Cascade Range, Oregon. The list includes 459 families, 2,096 genera, and 3,402 species. All species have been authoritatively identified by more than 100 specialists. In- formation is included on habitat type, functional group, plant or animal host, relative abundances, collection information, and literature references where available. There is a brief discussion of the Andrews Forest as habitat for arthropods with photo- graphs of representative habitats within the Forest. Illustrations of selected ar- thropods are included as is a bibliography. Keywords: Invertebrates, insects, H.J. Andrews Experimental forest, arthropods, annotated list, forest ecosystem, old-growth forests.

    SOUTH AMERICAN AND FLORIDIAN DISJUNCTS [N THE SONORAN GENUS COMPSOCR YPTUS (HYMENOPTERA: ICHNEUMONIDAE). BY CHARLES C. PORTER Department of Biological Sciences, Fordham University Bronx, NY 10458 INTRODUCTION Taxonomy Most Compsocryptus may be recognized at a glance by their elegantly yellow banded brown or black wings, large and anteriorly wide areolet, short and weak notauli, axillus intermediate in posi- tion between the anal margin of the hind wing and the submediella, strong ventro-lateral carina on postpetiole, and long, upcurved ovipositor. My concept of this genus agrees, as to species included, with Townes' most recent definition (1969:203-4). Several of Townes' diagnostic features, however, do not apply to the Compsocryptus I have examined (C. fasciipennis, C. fuscofasciatus, C. melanost!gma, C. texensis, and C. xanthostigma). All Compsocryptus I have seen possess a sharp and strong subvertical groove externo-ventrally near the base of the hind coxa, while Townes describes the hind co xa as "without a groove" (1969:203). All Compsocryptus examined by me have, in the female only, a prominent crescentic to subtriangular baso-lateral flange at the base of the petiole, while Townes taain- rains that the petiole is "without a lateral tooth at the base" (1969:203). Compsocryptus forms a compact genus whose species, despite their far-flung and discontinuous distribution, seem unusu- ally homogeneous in color and structure. I thus suspect that all members of the genus will turn out to have a basal first gastric projection in the female and a strong hind coxal groove.
