That this generic name is technically invalid has long been known, but owing to the special importance of this genus no attempt has ever been made to replace it by some other name. Nor is the project that the Commission should be asked to validate the name Sao Barrande a new one, for already during the recent war Rudolf Richter in a paper entitled " Nomina conservanda : Antrag auf Aufhebung der ' Regeln ' zu Gunsten von Sao Barrande 1846 " (1941, Senckenbergiana 23 : 291-293) recommended the adoption of this course. 2. The age of the genus Sao Barrande is Middle Cambrian and the genus is of exceptional importance since it represents the most classical case of the developmental history of a trilobite species. The work on trilobites published in 1852 (Syst. Silur. Boheme) in which Barrande published his conclusions in regard to this genus was a pioneer study of its kind and was based upon material which was exceptional both for its state of preservation and for its completeness from the early protaspid stage to the adult. The figures given by Barrande are widely reproduced in general text-books both of zoology and palaeontology. It would be little short of a disaster if this historic name were to be cast aside for the sake of some narrow nomenclatorial technicality. The history of this case is set out in the following paragraphs. 3. The nominal genus Sao was

B Nr. 306 58 pp., 56 figs. Stuttgart, 31. 8. 2001 New parasitic wasps from Baltic amber (Insecta: Hymenoptera: Dryinidae) By Massimo Olmi, Viterbo and Günter Bechly, Stuttgart With 56 Figures Summary Four new species of the parasitic wasp family Dryinidae, Dryinus reifi n. sp., Dryinus muenchi n. sp., Dryinus wunderlichi n. sp., and Palaeodryinus groehni n. gen. n. sp., are de- scribed from Baltic amber. These new species belong to the widespread and diverse subfami- ly Dryininae. A neotype is designated for Harpactosphecion gracile (BRUES, 1933b) comb. nov. which was originally described in the extant genus Thaumatodryinus and is here trans- ferred to the fossil genus Harpactosphecion within Dryininae, just like Harpactosphecion? deletum (BRUES, 1933b) comb. nov. The spelling of the names of the species here attributed to the genus Harpactosphecion is changed to gracile, deletum, filicorne, and sucinum in accor- dance with Art. 30 IRZN. New specimens of Dryinus bruesi (OLMI, 1984), Dryinus janzeni OLMI, 1999b, Harpactosphecion filicorne (BRUES, 1923), and Palaeoanteon janzeni OLMI, 1999b are figured, and a new subfamily Palaeoantoninae n. subf. is established because of the new evidence. The fossil subfamily Laberitinae OLMI, 1989 is regarded as unavailable taxon since the type genus Laberites PONOMARENKO, 1988 is not available either. Updated keys to the subfamilies of Dryinidae, the genera of Dryininae, and all dryinid species from Baltic am- ber are provided, as well as an annotated catalogue of all fossil Dryinidae.

  • Identifying Dryinidae (Hymenoptera) - Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera) Host Associations Using Phylogenetics
    IDENTIFYING DRYINIDAE (HYMENOPTERA) - AUCHENORRHYNCHA (HEMIPTERA) HOST ASSOCIATIONS USING PHYLOGENETICS BY CHRISTIAN ABEL MILLÁN-HERNÁNDEZ THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Entomology in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2018 Urbana, Illinois Master's Committee: Dr. Christopher H. Dietrich, Chair, Director of Research Professor May R. Berenbaum Professor Andrew V. Suarez ABSTRACT Dryinidae is a family of ectoparasitoid wasps with cosmopolitan distribution that exclusively preys on and parasitizes members of the suborder Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera). Host records of these important biocontrol agents are fragmentary because previous records have been based on tedious laboratory rearing of parasitized individuals requiring environmental control and long waiting periods, usually with limited success. Molecular phylogenetic methods provide an alternative to expand knowledge of dryinid host breadth by DNA sequencing of host attached parasitoid larvae. For this study, 142 late-stage dryinid larvae were removed from parasitized individuals of Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera), mostly from a wet insect collection at the Illinois Natural History Survey representing all major biogeographic regions. The 28S D2-D3 nuclear ribosomal gene region was amplified using PCR and sequenced. Attempts to sequence Cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1, Cytochrome B and 18S DNA regions were unsuccessful due to contamination with host DNA. Sequence data were combined with data from a previous phylogenetic study based on adults and a maximum likelihood tree search was performed in the IQ-Tree webserver. The best tree was used to explore the significance of natural history traits including distribution, host taxonomy and habitat, for explaining host association patterns.

Keywords Checklist, distribution, Chrysidoidea Introduction Pincer wasps (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae) are parasitoids and often also predators of Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera) (Olmi 1984). The family includes 50 genera and 16 subfamilies (Olmi and Xu 2015; Tribull 2015). In the Palaearctic region, the subfamily Dryininae is represented by two extant genera, Dryinus Latreille, 1804 and Pseudodryinus Olmi, 1991. Pseudodryinus is known only from the Eastern Palaearctic subregion and Dryinus from both Palaearctic subregions, Eastern and Western (Olmi and Xu 2015). A review of the Western Palaearctic Dryininae (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae) was published by Olmi (1984), and he listed a total of nine species.

Higher taxonomic changes: Dictyoptera are regarded as an order by Li (2019); birds (Aves) have been separated from non-avian theropods following Xing et al. (2019). New additions or changes to the published list (Ross, 2019) and supplement v.2019.1 are marked in blue, corrections are marked in red. Ross (2019) plus this supplement comprises 42 classes (or similar rank), 108 orders (or similar rank), 569 families, 1017 genera and 1379 species (excluding trace fossils, marine encrusters, Tilin amber and copal records). This includes 8 classes, 65 orders, 518 families, 942 genera and 1297 species of arthropods. Additional families rejected from occuring in Burmese amber- †Protopsyllidiidae Xyelidae Many thanks to everyone who has supplied pdfs of their papers. So that I can keep the list up-to-date please continue to send me your pdfs and let me know of any corrections required (particularly due to taxonomic changes) and references of papers in press.

  • Burmese Amber Taxa
    Burmese (Myanmar) amber taxa, on-line checklist v.2018.2 Andrew J. Ross 03/09/2018 Principal Curator of Palaeobiology Department of Natural Sciences National Museums Scotland Chambers St. Edinburgh EH1 1JF E-mail: [email protected] http://www.nms.ac.uk/collections-research/collections-departments/natural-sciences/palaeobiology/dr- andrew-ross/ This taxonomic list is based on Ross et al (2010) plus non-arthropod taxa and published papers up to the end of August 2018. It does not contain unpublished records or records from papers in press (including on-line proofs) or unsubstantiated on-line records. Often the final versions of papers were published on- line the year before they appeared in print, so the on-line published year is accepted and referred to accordingly. Note, the authorship of species does not necessarily correspond to the full authorship of papers where they were described. The latest high level classification is used where possible though in some cases conflicts were encountered, usually due to cladistic studies, so in these cases an older classification was adopted for convenience. The classification for Hexapoda follows Nicholson et al. (2015), plus subsequent papers. † denotes extinct orders and families. New additions or changes to the previous list (v.2018.1) are marked in blue, corrections are marked in red. The list comprises 38 classes (or similar rank), 102 orders (or similar rank), 525 families, 777 genera and 1013 species (excluding Tilin amber and copal records). This includes 8 classes, 65 orders, 480 families, 714 genera and 941 species of arthropods. 1 Some previously recorded families have since been synonymised or relegated to subfamily level- these are included in parentheses in the main list below.
