Leaflets with T. absoluta galleries were collected 16 during 2017–2020 from commercial tomato plots in the horticultural production area of Catalonia 17 (Northeast Spain), including greenhouses, open fields, and roof covered tunnels that lack side walls. In 18 the laboratory, T. absoluta larvae were classified as ectoparasitized, alive, or dead.

A. Farm Post, Bellary Road, Hebbal, Bangalore 560 024, Karnataka, India. E-mail: [email protected] Abstract The Indian fauna of the genus Microplitis Foerster, 1862 is revised. An illustrated key to eight species including the description of one new species, M. murkyi sp. nov., is provided. Six previously described species, namely: M. ajmerensis Rao & Kurian, M. demolitor Wilkinson, M. indicus Marsh, M. manilae Ashmead, M. prodeniae Rao & Kurian, and M. spodopterae Rao & Kurian are elaborated with taxonomical variations and extended distribution. Two species, M. bageshri Sathe, Inamdar & Dawale and M. dipika (Bhatnagar) are considered incertae sedis. A new combination is suggested for Snellenius maculipennis (Szepligeti) which is placed into synonymy with Microplitis. Information on taxonomic history of the genus, diagnostic characters of all the included species, distribution and host relationships are provided. Key words: Parasitic wasps, host relationships, India, Microplitis, Microgastrinae, revision Introduction The apomorphic genus Microplitis was established by Foerster in 1862 with the type species Microgaster sordipes Nees von Esenbeck. The species are larval endoparasitoids of agriculturally important pests, particularly lepidopteran species of Helicoverpa and Spodoptera. The hosts mostly belong to the family Noctuidae, and to some extent Sphingidae and Lymantriidae, athough some other families have also been recorded.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects
    NINE Phylum ARTHROPODA SUBPHYLUM HEXAPODA Protura, springtails, Diplura, and insects ROD P. MACFARLANE, PETER A. MADDISON, IAN G. ANDREW, JOCELYN A. BERRY, PETER M. JOHNS, ROBERT J. B. HOARE, MARIE-CLAUDE LARIVIÈRE, PENELOPE GREENSLADE, ROSA C. HENDERSON, COURTenaY N. SMITHERS, RicarDO L. PALMA, JOHN B. WARD, ROBERT L. C. PILGRIM, DaVID R. TOWNS, IAN McLELLAN, DAVID A. J.

TREWICK defining feature of the Hexapoda, as the name suggests, is six legs. Also, the body comprises a head, thorax, and abdomen. The number A of abdominal segments varies, however; there are only six in the Collembola (springtails), 9–12 in the Protura, and 10 in the Diplura, whereas in all other hexapods there are strictly 11. Insects are now regarded as comprising only those hexapods with 11 abdominal segments. Whereas crustaceans are the dominant group of arthropods in the sea, hexapods prevail on land, in numbers and biomass. Altogether, the Hexapoda constitutes the most diverse group of animals – the estimated number of described species worldwide is just over 900,000, with the beetles (order Coleoptera) comprising more than a third of these. Today, the Hexapoda is considered to contain four classes – the Insecta, and the Protura, Collembola, and Diplura. The latter three classes were formerly allied with the insect orders Archaeognatha (jumping bristletails) and Thysanura (silverfish) as the insect subclass Apterygota (‘wingless’). The Apterygota is now regarded as an artificial assemblage (Bitsch & Bitsch 2000).

[email protected]; https://orcid.org/0000-0002-3322-6255 Abstract Involving the community in taxonomic research has the potential to increase the awareness, appreciation and value of taxonomy in the public sphere. We report here on a trial citizen science project, Insect Investigators, which partners taxonomists with school students to monitor Malaise traps and prioritise the description of new species collected. In this initial trial, four schools in regional South Australia participated in the program and all collected new species of the braconid subfamily Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). These four species are here described as new, with the names being chosen in collaboration with the participating school students: Choeras ramcomarmorata Fagan-Jeffries & Austin sp. nov., Glyptapanteles drioplanetus Fagan-Jeffries & Austin sp.

Insects and related arthropods associated with greenleaf manzanita in montane chaparral communities of northeastern California. Gen. Tech. Rep. PSW-GTR-167. Albany, CA: Pacific Southwest Research Station, Forest Service, U.S. Dept. Agriculture; 26 p. September 1997 Specimens representing 19 orders and 169 arthropod families (mostly insects) were collected from greenleaf manzanita brushfields in northeastern California and identified to species whenever possible. More than500 taxa below the family level wereinventoried, and each listing includes relative frequency of encounter, life stages collected, and dominant role in the greenleaf manzanita community. Specific host relationships are included for some predators and parasitoids. Herbivores, predators, and parasitoids comprised the majority (80 percent) of identified insects and related taxa.

El título debe ser tajantemente desmentido. No, no llevamos 40 sin Félix, porque en realidad nunca desapareció de nuestra memoria, de nuestra cultura y de nuestra historia. Por supuesto me estoy refiriendo al menos a esas generaciones que alcanzaron la consciencia (cualquiera que fuera su edad de calendario) en los años 60, 70 y 80 del siglo pasado.
