Two rare species, Phanerotomella rufa (Marshall, 1898) and Phanerotoma (Phanerotoma) acuminata Szépligeti, 1908 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Cheloninae) have been recorded for the first time in Iran. P. rufa represents the first record of the genus Phanerotomella Szépligeti, 1900 in Iran. Specimens were collected using malaise traps from different habitats of northern Iran during 2010. Diagnostic characters and geographical distribution of the species are briefly discussed. Key words: Cheloninae, Phanerotomini, new record, rare species, Iran. Introduction then treated with 100% ethanol for 5 min. followed by hexamethyld- isilazane (HMDS) for 30 min and finally placed on the glass plate for Braconidae is one of the largest families of the parasitic drying (Heraty & Hawks 1998). The dried specimens were then card- wasps and is grouped into 48 subfamilies worldwide (Yu et mounted and labeled. The specimens were identified using reliable al. 2006), with a diverse habitat and biology (van Achterberg keys and comparing with the original descriptions (van Achterberg 1990). Geographical characteristics of the collecting sites are given in 1990, 1993, Shaw & Huddleston 1991). The Cheloninae is the Table 1.

Members of the subfamily Cheloninae are cosmopoli- tan species that include the solitary egg-larval endoparasi- toids of Lepidoptera, especially Tortricoidea and Pyraloidea, but also other taxa whose larvae are born in stems, buds or fruits (Shaw 1997). Cheloninae comprise more than 1300 de- scribed species worldwide (Yu et al. 2006, Edmardash et al. 2011). In spite of the worldwide distribution, only the tribes Chelonini Förster, 1862 and Phanerotomini Baker, 1926 are represented in the Palaearctic region (van Achterberg 1990, Yu et al. 2006, Aydogdu 2008). The western Palaearctic spe- cies of the Phanerotomini were revised and keyed by van Achterberg (1990), who reported a total of 47 species. To date, a total of 288 species of Phanerotomini have been re- ported in the world and approximately 50 species are found Figure 1.

SELF-REPAIR AND SELF-CLEANING OF THE LEPIDOPTERAN PROBOSCIS A Dissertation Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy ENTOMOLOGY by Suellen Floyd Pometto August 2019 Accepted by: Dr. Peter H. Adler, Major Advisor and Committee Co-Chair Dr. Eric Benson, Committee Co-Chair Dr. Richard Blob Dr. Patrick Gerard i ABSTRACT The proboscis of butterflies and moths is a key innovation contributing to the high diversity of the order Lepidoptera. In addition to taking nectar from angiosperm sources, many species take up fluids from overripe or sound fruit, plant sap, animal dung, and moist soil. The proboscis is assembled after eclosion of the adult from the pupa by linking together two elongate galeae to form one tube with a single food canal. How do lepidopterans maintain the integrity and function of the proboscis while foraging from various substrates? The research questions included whether lepidopteran species are capable of total self- repair, how widespread the capability of self-repair is within the order, and whether the repaired proboscis is functional.

A variety of collecting methods was used, including netting, light attracting, light trapping and pheromone trapping. The specimens were identified by the currently available pictorial sources and determination keys. Many were also sent to specialists for confirmation or identification. The majority of the data was from Kanawha County, reflecting the area of more intensive sampling effort by the senior author. This imbalance of data between Kanawha County and other counties should even out with further sampling of the area. Key Words: Appalachian Mountains,

  • A New Species of the Genus Phanerotoma Wesmael (Braconidae: Cheloninae) with a Key to Indian Species

A key to Indian species of Phanerotoma is also provided. Key words: Phanerotoma, Braconidae, Cheloninae, New species, P. malabarica Introduction Wesmael 1838 erected the genus Phanerotoma with the type species Chelonus dentatus Panzer. The genus includes two subgenera: Bracotrictoma Csiki and Phanerotoma Wesmael (Achterberg 1990). It is a cosmopolitan genus characterized by glabrous eyes, 23 segmented antenna, comparatively stout pterostigma and carapace with distinct sutures. The genus is represented by nine species from India (Shenefelt 1973, Zettel 1990, Varshney and Shujauddin 1999 and Ahmad and Shujauddin 2004). In this work we describe one new species of Phanerotoma from Kerala, India. A key to Indian species is also provided. The terminology used in this work is that of Achterberg (1993). The types of the species described are deposited in Department of Zoology, University of Calicut pending transfer to Western Ghat Regional Station, Zoological Survey of India, Kozhikode, Kerala, India later. Materials and Methods The Braconids were collected using sweep net and curated by the methods described by Narendran (2001). Observations were made under Leica MZ6 Stereozoom Microscope (Switzerland) and the drawings were made using the drawing tube of the same microscope.

    Terrestrial Arthropod Survey of Hālona Valley, Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, August 2020–November 2020 Neal L. Evenhuis, Keith T. Arakaki, Clyde T. Imada Hawaii Biological Survey Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum Honolulu, Hawai‘i 96817, USA Final Report prepared for the U.S. Navy Contribution No. 2021-003 to the Hawaii Biological Survey EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Bishop Museum was contracted by the U.S. Navy to conduct surveys of terrestrial arthropods in Hālona Valley, Naval Magazine Lualualei Annex, in order to assess the status of populations of three groups of insects, including species at risk in those groups: picture-winged Drosophila (Diptera; flies), Hylaeus spp. (Hymenoptera; bees), and Rhyncogonus welchii (Coleoptera; weevils). The first complete survey of Lualualei for terrestrial arthropods was made by Bishop Museum in 1997. Since then, the Bishop Museum has conducted surveys in Hālona Valley in 2015, 2016–2017, 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020. The current survey was conducted from August 2020 through November 2020, comprising a total of 12 trips; using yellow water pan traps, pitfall traps, hand collecting, aerial net collecting, observations, vegetation beating, and a Malaise trap. The area chosen for study was a Sapindus oahuensis grove on a southeastern slope of mid-Hālona Valley. The area had potential for all three groups of arthropods to be present, especially the Rhyncogonus weevil, which has previously been found in association with Sapindus trees. Trapped and collected insects were taken back to the Bishop Museum for sorting, identification, data entry, and storage and preservation. The results of the surveys proved negative for any of the target groups.

JIMÉNEZ PEYDRO La vida de la hembra de P. (P.) ocularis se divide en 3 etapas consecutivas, de du- ración variable, en función de su actividad reproductora: la etapa de maduración sexual (1,95 ± 0,78 días), el período de actividad reproductora (42,73 ± 8,29 días), y la se- nescencia o senilidad (9,48 ± 4,92 días). La longevidad media obtenida para estas hembras se sitúa alrededor de 54,21 ± 11,39 días. J. MORENO MARI y R. JIMÉNEZ PEYDRO. Dpto. de Biología Animal (Entomolo- gía).
