  • Identification Key to the Subfamilies of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera)
    Identification key to the subfamilies of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) Gavin Broad Dept. of Entomology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London SW7 5BD, UK Notes on the key, February 2011 This key to ichneumonid subfamilies should be regarded as a test version and feedback will be much appreciated (emails to [email protected]). Many of the illustrations are provisional and more characters need to be illustrated, which is a work in progress. Many of the scanning electron micrographs were taken by Sondra Ward for Ian Gauld’s series of volumes on the Ichneumonidae of Costa Rica. Many of the line drawings are by Mike Fitton. I am grateful to Pelle Magnusson for the photographs of Brachycyrtus ornatus and for his suggestion as to where to include this subfamily in the key. Other illustrations are my own work. Morphological terminology mostly follows Fitton et al. (1988). A comprehensively illustrated list of morphological terms employed here is in development. In lateral views, the anterior (head) end of the wasp is to the left and in dorsal or ventral images, the anterior (head) end is uppermost. There are a few exceptions (indicated in figure legends) and these will rectified soon. Identifying ichneumonids Identifying ichneumonids can be a daunting process, with about 2,400 species in Britain and Ireland. These are currently classified into 32 subfamilies (there are a few more extralimitally). Rather few of these subfamilies are reconisable on the basis of simple morphological character states, rather, they tend to be reconisable on combinations of characters that occur convergently and in different permutations across various groups of ichneumonids.

  • Subfamily Gnamptodontinae
    SUBFAMILY GNAMPTODONTINAE M. J. SHARKEY1, R. A. WHARTON2 1. Hymenoptera Institute, 116 Franklin Ave., Redlands, California, USA, [email protected]. 2. Retired, formerly at Texas A&M University. INTRODUCTION. The subfamily Gnamptodontinae was established by van Achterberg (1983a) to accommodate a small group of species variously placed with the Opiinae, the Rogadinae (in the broad sense), or the Exothecinae (Marsh, 1979).There are three New World genera including Exodontiella Wharton, 1978 which was included in the Opiinae chapter in the last version of the Manual of New World Genera (Wharton et al., 1997). Two exclusively Old World genera, Gnaptogaster Tobias, 1976 and Neognamptodon Belokobylskij, 1999 are also included in the subfamily. The use of the names Gnamptodon Haliday and Gnamptodontinae (rather than the widely used Gnaptodon and Gnaptodontinae) is based on Opinion 1424 (1987) of the Commission on Zoological Nomenclature. Van Achterberg (1983a), following Fischer (1972, 1977, 1981) provisionally included Liparophleps Enderlein (= Plesademon Fischer) in the Gnamptodontinae. However, Wharton (1997) confirmed the sexually dimorphic nature of the wing vein pattern, and concurred with Marsh (1976) that Liparophleps is a synonym of Semirhytus Szépligeti and belongs in Doryctinae. PHYLOGENY. The presence of Hagen's glands suggested a relationship to opiines (Buckingham and Sharkey, 1988), but gnamptodontines parasitize leaf-mining lepidopterans rather than cyclorrhaphous Diptera. Zaldívar-Riverón et al. (2006) recovered Gnamptodontinae in a clade consisting of Telengaiinae, Exothecinae, Alysiinae, Opiinae, and Braconinae in most analyses, with Gnamptodontinae and Telengaiinae resolved as sister taxa. Wharton et al. (2006) found Gnamptodontinae sister to either Braconinae or a clade consisting of Alysiinae, Opiinae, and Exothecinae.

SÁNCHEZ-GONZÁLEZ1, J. Refugio LOMELI-FLORES2, Esteban RODRÍGUEZ-LEYVA2, Hugo C. ARREDONDO-BERNAL1, Jaime GONZÁLEZ-CABRERA1 1Servicio Nacional de Sanidad, Inocuidad y Calidad Agroalimentaria (SENASICA), Centro Nacional de Referencia de Control Biológico (CNRCB), Colima, México 2Colegio de Postgraduados, Posgrado en Fitosanidad, Entomología y Acarología, Estado de México, México Abstract The spotted wing drosophila, Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera Drosophilidae), is considered one of the world’s most im- portant pests on berries because of the direct damage it causes. Thus, inclusion of biological control agents is being explored as part of the IPM program. There are two species of larval parasitoids of Drosophila spp. currently registered in Mexico: Leptopilina boulardi (Barbotin, Carton et Keiner-Pillault) (Hymenoptera Figitidae) and Ganaspis brasiliensis (Ihering) (Hymenoptera Figitidae), but the response of D. suzukii against the attack of these parasitoids is unknown. The objective of this study was to determine if Mexican populations of L. boulardi and G. brasiliensis could parasitize and complete their development on D. suzukii; as well as determining if there is a preference to parasite either D. suzukii or Drosophila melanogaster Meigen. In laboratory tests, both species succeeded in parasitizing D. suzukii, and even though the larvae did not complete their development, they killed the host. Additionally, in choice test, both species had a 2:1 ratio of preference for using D. melanogaster as a host rather than D. suzukii. Although neither of the parasitoids complete their development on D.

DOI:10.4311/2019LSC0125 BIODIVERSITY FROM CAVES AND OTHER SUBTERRANEAN HABITATS OF GEORGIA, USA Kirk S. Zigler1C, Matthew L. Niemiller2, Charles D.R. Stephen3, Breanne N. Ayala1, Marc A. Milne4, Nicholas S. Gladstone5, Annette S. Engel6, John B. Jensen7, Carlos D. Camp8, James C. Ozier9, and Alan Cressler10 Abstract We provide an annotated checklist of species recorded from caves and other subterranean habitats in the state of Georgia, USA. We report 281 species (228 invertebrates and 53 vertebrates), including 51 troglobionts (cave-obligate species), from more than 150 sites (caves, springs, and wells). Endemism is high; of the troglobionts, 17 (33 % of those known from the state) are endemic to Georgia and seven (14 %) are known from a single cave. We identified three biogeographic clusters of troglobionts. Two clusters are located in the northwestern part of the state, west of Lookout Mountain in Lookout Valley and east of Lookout Mountain in the Valley and Ridge. In addition, there is a group of tro- globionts found only in the southwestern corner of the state and associated with the Upper Floridan Aquifer. At least two dozen potentially undescribed species have been collected from caves; clarifying the taxonomic status of these organisms would improve our understanding of cave biodiversity in the state.

  • Phylogeny of the Hymenoptera: a Cladistic Reanalysis of Rasnitsyn's (1988) Data
    Phylogeny of the Hymenoptera: A cladistic reanalysis of Rasnitsyn's (1988) data FREDRIK RONQUIST,ALEXANDR P. 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.
