Menakadevi and S. Manickavasagam* Parasitoid Taxonomy and Biocontrol Laboratory Department of Entomology, Annamalai University Chidambaram - 608 002 An attempt was made to survey the aphelinid parasitoid fauna of Kerala and Tamil Nadu, India from December, 2008 to January, 2011 which resulted in the recovery of 15 genera and 30 species of aphelinids of which one and two genera and three and 18 species are new distributional records for Kerala and Tamil Nadu respectively. Encarsia colima Myartseva is reported for the first time from India. Key Words: Survey, Aphelinidae, parasitoids, distributional record, Kerala, Tamil Nadu, India. Aphelinidae is one of the most important Preservedspecimensweredried using chalcidoid families for biological control.In spite of Hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) as described by their small size and less abundance, the family is a Brown (1993) and then card mounted.

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.

FÖRSTER (Hymenoptera, Platygastridae) Peter Neerup BUHL Abstract FÖRSTER's types of Amblyaspis walkeri, Synopeas melampus, S. rigidicornis, S. prospectus, Sactogaster curvicauda, and S. subaequalis are redescribed. Synopeas melampus and S. rigidicornis are transferred back to Synopeas from Leptacis, placed there by H. J. VLUG in 1973. Sactogaster longicauda and 5. pisi are proposed as new synonyms for Sactogaster curvicauda. Synopeas melampus sensu KOZLOV is given the new name S. sculpturatus. Key words: Platygastridae, taxonomy, redescriptions, types, synonymies, new names. Introduction The platygastrid types of Arnold FÖRSTER, deposited in the „Naturhistorisches Museum" in Vienna, were designated and commented upon by VLUG (1973). However, FöRSTER's very short and ina- dequate original descriptions also make a redescription of his types necessary. Recently, the types belonging to genus Platygaster were redescribed by BUHL(1996). The remaining species described by FÖRSTER (1856, 1861 ) are revised below, except Monocrita affinis FÖRSTER, 1861, M. monheimi FÖRSTER, 1861 and Synopeas nigriscapis FÖRSTER, 1861.

Ein Schlüssel zur Trennung der drei weltweit bekannten Arten der Gattung Plutomerus ergänzt die Arbeit. 469 © Entomofauna Ansfelden/Austria; download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Introduction The subfamily Sceliotrachelinae, one of the five subfamilies of Platygastridae is represented by just four genera viz. Allotrapa, Amitus, Fidiobia and Plutomerus in India (MANI & MUKERJEE 1981; RAJMOHANA 2011). The genus Fidiobia is represented by twenty species worldwide (JOHNSON 2011). So far no species of Fidiobia have been described from India except for the brief description of an undescribed species of Fidiobia by MANI & SHARMA (1982). This description does not match with the two species described in this paper. Plutomerus, an Oriental genus is represented by just two species worldwide viz.

  • Riparian Forest Fragments in Rice Fields Under Different Management: Differences on Hymenopteran Parasitoids Diversity G

Thus, the purpose of the study is to evaluate the influence of distance of rice-growing areas from natural fragment, type of crop management (organic and conventional) and crop stages (vegetative and reproductive stages) on parasitoids family diversity. The work took place in two irrigated rice crops, one with organic management (O.M.) and another one with conventional management (C.M.), in the municipality of Nova Santa Rita, RS, Brazil, during the 2013/2014 and 2014/2015 seasons. The parasitoids were collected with Malaise trap arranged at different distances in relation to the native vegetation surrounding the rice crop in both places. Specimens were collected twice a month from seeding until the rice harvest.

  • Widow Spider Parasitoids Philolema Latrodecti
    EENY515 Widow Spider Parasitoids Philolema latrodecti (Fullaway) (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae) and Baeus latrodecti Dozier (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) 1 Christopher S. Bibbs and Lyle J. Buss2 Introduction Another parasitoid of note is a scelionid wasp, Baeus latrodecti Dozier, which was recorded as emerging from the The genus of widow spiders, Latrodectus, has limited egg sacs of the southern black widow, Latrodectus mactans records of the pathogens, parasites, and parasitoids known Fabricius (Dozier 1931). to affect them. In the United States, a known associated parasitoid is Synonymy Philolema latrodecti (Fullaway). Little is documented Philolema latrodecti was originally described as Eurytoma regarding this species, but it is confirmed to target multiple latrodecti (Fullaway 1953). It was later moved into the new widow spider species as hosts for reproduction (Boucek genus Desantisca with other egg sac parasitoids that were 1988, Fullaway 1953). originally described in the genus Eurytoma (Burks 1971). Research to phylogenetically reclassify the large family Eurytomidae using morphological differences placed it into the genus Philolema (Lotfalizadeh et al. 2007). Baeus latrodecti was described twice, once as B. latrodecti (Dozier 1931) and again as B. californicus (Pierce 1939, Krombein et al. 1979). Neither P. latrodecti nor B. latrodecti have an official com- mon name sanctioned by the Entomological Society of America. Figure 1.

  • Widespread Occurrence of Black-Orange-Black Color Pattern in Hymenoptera
    Journal of Insect Science, (2019) 19(2): 13; 1–12 doi: 10.1093/jisesa/iez021 Research Widespread Occurrence of Black-Orange-Black Color Pattern in Hymenoptera R. Mora1,2,3 and P. E. Hanson2 1Universidad de Costa Rica, Centro de Investigación en Biología Celular y Molecular, Ciudad de la Investigación Postal 11501-2060, San Pedro de Montes de Oca, SJ, Costa Rica, 2Universidad de Costa Rica, Escuela de Biología, Apartado Postal 11501-2060, San Pedro de Montes de Oca, SJ, Costa Rica, and 3Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] Subject Editor: Phyllis Weintraub Received 19 October 2018; Editorial decision 3 February 2019 Abstract Certain color patterns in insects show convergent evolution reflecting potentially important biological functions, for example, aposematism and mimicry. This phenomenon has been most frequently documented in Lepidoptera and Coleoptera, but has been less well investigated in Hymenoptera. It has long been recognized that many hymenopterans, especially scelionids (Platygastridae), show a recurring pattern of black head, orange/red mesosoma, and black metasoma (BOB coloration). However, the taxonomic distribution of this striking color pattern has never been documented across the entire order. The main objective of our research was to provide a preliminary tabulation of this color pattern in Hymenoptera, through examination of museum specimens and relevant literature. We included 11 variations of the typical BOB color pattern but did not include all possible variations. These color patterns were found in species belonging to 23 families of Hymenoptera, and was most frequently observed in scelionids, evaniids, and mutillids, but was relatively infrequent in Cynipoids, Diaprioids, Chalcidoids, and Apoids.
