GAITENS§ Department of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, London SW7 5BD, UK * Department of Animal and Plant Sciences and § Electron Microscope Unit, University of Sheffield, Sheffield $10 2TN, UK t Present address: Department of Biology, Imperial College, Silwood Park, Ascot SL5 7PY, UK (Accepted 30 August 1993) The morphology, function and phylogenetic significance of the hymenopterous ovipositor, as revealed by transverse sections, is explored. Ovipositors (including stings) of > 240 species belonging to some 69 families (representing all super- families) have been prepared and examined, and almost 180 are illustrated. Particular attention is paid to Ichneumonoidea. Sections show many new, phylogenetically informative characters as well as providing further insight into ovipositor function. Examples of synapomorphies are given which suggest various groupings at the family or subfamily levels. Functional interpretations are given for several characters, with particular reference to substrate penetration, passage of the egg along the ovipositor and stinging. KEYWORDS: Hymenoptera, ovipositor, morphology, phylogeny, Ichneumonoidea. Introduction The morphology of the ovipositor and its related structures has provided many useful characters for the systematics of Hymenoptera (see, for example, Fergusson, 1988). This is not surprising as the ovipositor and oviposition behaviour seem to have Downloaded by [Univ of Plymouth] at 06:48 22 August 2014 played crucial roles in the evolution of the order (Gauld and Bolton, 1988). However, of all the many studies on ovipositors, including the derived stings of aculeate wasps, bees and ants, few have examined the detailed structure of the ovipositor valves themselves, having instead relied principally on simple observations of gross external appearance. A few exceptions to this are worthy of note: the works of Scudder (1961), Oeser (1961), Brothers (1975) and Smith (1968-1970, 1972). Several textbooks of entomology and papers on ovipositor structure provide diagrams of cross sections of hymenopteran ovipositors, but most such illustrations were not based on original work, many are highly stylized, and some even misleading (for example, Weber, 1933; Riek, 1970; Askew, 1971; Richards and Davies, 1977; Gauld and Bolton, 1988). However, from examination of the publications that give more accurate diagrams or descriptions of cross sections through ovipositors and stings (for example, Abbott, 1934, 1935; Soliman, 1941; Venkatraman and Subba Rao, 1954; King, 1962; Delanoue and Arambourg, 1965; Hermann and Blum, 1967; Rogers, 1972; Smith, 1968-1970, 1972; Bronner, 1985; Billen, 1990) it was apparent 0022-2933194 $10.00 © 1994 Taylor & Francis Ltd. 636 D.L.J. Quicke et al. that there is considerable variation in structure between taxa. Our interest in the phylogenetic relationships of the families of Hymenoptera and, in particular, the subfamilies of Ichneumonoidea led us to conduct a wide-ranging survey of ovipositor/ sting structure using the technique of semi-thin sectioning, following resin embedding, in order to identify characters of phylogenetic or biological importance. In a com- panion paper (Quicke et al. 1992b) we consider the functional and phylogenetic significance of ovipositor valvilli in Hymenoptera. Together these two studies examine characters which should add significantly to our understanding of the evolution of the groups of Hymenoptera and pose many interesting questions about ovipositor function. General ovipositor morphology and terminology There have been several different, widely-used nomenclatures for the parts com- prising the hymenopteran ovipositor or sting system. Here we largely follow Smith (1968-1970, 1972), except that we refer to the gonapophyses of the ninth and eighth abdominal segments as the upper and lower valves of the ovipositor, respectively. Our reason for employing this more descriptive terminology is that we hope to increase the accessibility of our results to workers outside the field of hymenopteran morphology and systematics. The terms, and the consequent references to 'dorsal' and 'ventral' parts, assume the ovipositor is directed posteriorly from the apex of the metasoma, though in some taxa the rotation of the metasomal apex may cause the ovipositor to protrude anteriorly, even in repose, for example in Vanhornia and some chalcidoids. Also, we use 'ovipositor' to include the sting, the term used to describe it in aculeate Hymenoptera in which it retains only that function. Smith (1969, 1970) gave detailed glossaries of equivalent terms and Fergusson (1988) provided a small comparative table for the main parts of the ovipositor system. Smith (1969, 1970) provided good evidence that the paired appendages forming the upper and lower valves were originally segmented (meristic) structures, com- prising a basal segment termed the radix, followed by the multisegmented lanmium. Segments of the lamnium are modified to form the tooth-like processes involved in substrate penetration. In most Symphyta the lamnia of both the upper and lower valves are serrated (Fig. 1), in ichneumonoids usually only the lower valves have teeth (Fig. 2), whereas in most other groups, such as Megalyroidea and Chalcidoidea, it is the upper valve that is serrated (Fig. 3). Frequently, the apex of the ovipositor valve(s) Downloaded by [Univ of Plymouth] at 06:48 22 August 2014 opposite the one with serrations is furnished with a single protuberance, referred to as a node or nodus, (Fig. 2) or occasionally it has a notch. Smith (1969, 1970) concluded that in those groups in which the teeth are restricted to the apex of the ovipositor valve, the smooth basal region represents the elongated radix. However, this may not be so (see Results). The upper and lower valves are hollow structures, the lumen of each (Figs

RASNITSYN,ALAIN ROY,KATARINA ERIKSSON &MAGNUS LINDGREN Accepted: 26 April 1999 Ronquist, F., Rasnitsyn, A. P., Roy, A., Eriksson, K. & Lindgren, M. (1999) Phylogeny of the Hymenoptera: A cladistic reanalysis of Rasnitsyn's (1998) data. Ð Zoologica Scripta 28, 13±50. The hypothesis of higher-level relationships among extinct and extant hymenopterans presented by Rasnitsyn in 1988 is widely cited but the evidence has never been presented in the form of a character matrix or analysed cladistically. We review Rasnitsyn's morphological work and derive a character matrix for fossil and recent hymenopterans from it. Parsimony analyses of this matrix under equal weights and implied weights show that there is little support for Rasnitsyn's biphyletic hypothesis, postulating a sister-group relationship between tenthredinoids and macroxyelines. Instead, the data favour the conventional view that Hymenoptera excluding the Xyelidae are monophyletic. Higher- level symphytan relationships are well resolved and, except for the basal branchings, largely agree with the tree presented by Rasnitsyn. There is little convincing support for any major divisions of the Apocrita but the Microhymenoptera and the Ichneumonoidea + Aculeata appear as monophyletic groups in some analyses and require only a few extra steps in the others. The Evaniomorpha appear as a paraphyletic grade of basal apocritan lineages and enforcing monophyly of this grouping requires a considerable increase in tree length. The Ceraphronoidea are placed in the Proctotrupomorpha, close to Chalcidoidea and Platygastroidea. This signal is not entirely due to loss characters that may have evolved independently in these taxa in response to a general reduction in size.

  • The Phylogeny and Evolutionary Biology of the Pimplinae (Hymenoptera : Ichneumonidae)
    THE PHYLOGENY AND EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY OF THE PIMPLINAE (HYMENOPTERA : ICHNEUMONIDAE) Paul Eggleton A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University of London Department of Entomology Department of Pure & Applied B ritish Museum (Natural H istory) Biology, Imperial College London London May 1989 ABSTRACT £ The phylogeny and evolutionary biology of the Pimplinae are investigated using a cladistic compatibility method. Cladistic methodology is reviewed in the introduction, and the advantages of using a compatibility method explained. Unweighted and weighted compatibility techniques are outlined. The presently accepted classification of the Pimplinae is investigated by reference to the diagnostic characters used by earlier workers. The Pimplinae do not form a natural grouping using this character set. An additional 22 new characters are added to the data set for a further analysis. The results show that the Pimplinae (sensu lato) form four separate and unconnected lineages. It is recommended that the lineages each be given subfamily status. Other taxonomic changes at tribal level are suggested. The host and host microhabitat relations of the Pimplinae (sensu s tr ic to ) are placed within the evolutionary framework of the analyses of morphological characters. The importance of a primitive association with hosts in decaying wood is stressed, and the various evolutionary pathways away from this microhabitat discussed. The biology of the Rhyssinae is reviewed, especially with respect to mating behaviour and male reproductive strategies. The Rhyssinae (78 species) are analysed cladistically using 62 characters, but excluding characters thought to be connected with mating behaviour. Morphometric studies show that certain male gastral characters are associated with particular mating systems.

The specimens were collected from different provinces in Turkey between March 1990 and October 2016. A total of 1463 specimens were identified into 95 species, 26 genera, 13 subgenera and 6 tribes. Most of the specimens were collected after the year 2000 and were considered as new records. Among them, Netelia (Paropheltes) beschkovi Kolarov, 1994 and Parablastus anatolicus Gürbüz & Kolarov, 2005 were newly described from Turkey. Also these species are endemic for Turkey. For each species details biogeographical and zooogeographical data, altitudinal distribution, seasonal dynamics, number of specimens, available host data, plants visited by adults and the first record of the species from Turkey are summarised.

Key words: Hymenoptera; Braconidae; Blacinae; Xyeloblacus; Palaearctic; Austria; Poland; Japan; key. The new genus Xyeloblacus (type species: Xyeloblacus leucobasis spec, nov.) is described and illustrated; it belongs to a new tribe (Xyeloblacini van Achterberg), and two Palaearctic species are included. The type species has been reared from two Xyela spp. ("Symphyta"; Xyelidae; Xyelinae) in Austria. Introduction Specimens of the family Xyelidae Newman, 1834 ("Symphyta": Xyeloidea) are the earliest known Hymenoptera in the fossil record, known since Trias (about 200 mil• lion years ago). In the Triassic period they were the dominant group of Hymenoptera, with much more variation in genera than nowadays (Goulet, 1993). Surprisingly, con• sidering the age of the group, hardly any parasitoids are known. Only three species of parasitoids were reared by the second author from Xyela spp. in Austria, one belong• ing to the Braconidae, the other two belong to its sister-group, the Ichneumonidae. The latter concern members of two koinobiont ectoparasitoid groups: Idiogramma eury- ops Foerster, 1868 (Tryphoninae: Idiogrammatini) and an undescribed Gelanus spec. (Tersilochinae; Prof. Dr K. Horstmann, in litt.). The braconid reared belongs to an undescribed genus and species of the subfami• ly Blacinae Foerster, 1862.

Journal of Hymenoptera Research 58: 17–27. https://doi.org/10.3897/jhr.58.12919 Abstract Two species of ichneumon wasps (Ichneumonidae), Gelanes horstmanni Khalaim, sp. n. (Tersilochinae) and Idiogramma elbakyanae Khalaim sp. n. (Tryphoninae), are described from the pine forest at 2800– 2900 m from the State of Tlaxcala in Central Mexico; a third species, I. comstockii (Ashmead), is found to occur in the State of Nuevo León in Northeast Mexico. The generaGelanes Horstmann and Idiogramma Förster are associated with xyelid sawflies (Xyelidae), and both, as well as the tryphonine tribe Idiogram- matini, are recorded from Mexico for the first time. An identification key to the twoIdiogramma species occurring in Mexico is provided. Resumen Se describen dos especies de Ichneumonidae, Gelanes horstmanni Khalaim, sp. n.
