Differs from other groups by minute size of eyes posterior lateral (IInd row), sitting very closely to eyes anterior lateral, on the same black pigmented protuberance (Fig. 49J1). On the other hand, genitalic characters are insufficiently known in this group and no final conclusion could be drawn yet. Embolus bent, coiled or straight and minute, sitting atop membranous distal haematodocha. Epigyne varies extensively. Remark. Peculiar arrangement of eyes anterior lateral and posterior lateral (IInd row) on the same protuberance, followed in some genera by shallow constriction across eye field, may be misleading. The same concerns striking reduction of size of eyes posterior lateral (IInd row) in some genera classified to various groups, for instance eyes in Lystrocteissa are paired with HYLLINES[?] like palp structure (Figs 14L, 17G), likewise Tomobella fotsy Szüts, Scharff 2009 (Fig. 49I) resembles some Neon . That somatic character is apparently prone to develop parallel in various lineages of Salticidae, it is interesting that in some fossil genera (like Prolinus ) eyes posterior lateral (IInd row) are not reduced, or moderately reduced (as in Hisponinae amber spider shown on magnificent photographs by Hill - see Title page). -

E-mail: [email protected] 3Corresponding author Abstract A new genus and species of hisponine jumping spider from Sarawak, Jerzego corticicola Maddison sp. nov. are described, representing one of the few hisponine jumping spiders known from Asia, and the only whose male is known. Although similar to the primarily-Madagascan genus Hispo in having an elongate and flat body, sequences of 28s and 16sND1 genes indicate that Jerzego is most closely related to Massagris and Tomomingi, a result consistent with morphology. Females of Jerzego and other genera of Hisponinae were found to have an unusual double copulatory duct, which appears to be a synapomorphy of the subfamily. Two species are transferred from Hispo, Jerzego bipartitus (Simon) comb. nov. and Jer- zego alboguttatus (Simon) comb. nov. Diagnostic illustrations -

A total of 4982 specimens be longing to 475 different species \vere collected. Extrapolations from double-log functions revealed that there may be as many as 1330 parasitoid species present per year. 455 of the 475 species were parasito ids. 155 of them attack dipterans. 48 lepidopterans. 36 beetles. 23 wasps, 22 plant hoppers and 13 ap hids. 47 of the species are egg-parasitoids and parasitoids of miners. ectophytophages count for 44 of 2 the \V asp species. The abundance of the wasp fauna was rather high ( 1120 ± 53 in d. m- a- I ( 1986) and 2 1 335 ± 42 ind. m - a- ( 1988). Most abundant were the parasitoids of miners, gall-makers and the egg parasitoids. Compared \vith the high abundance the biomass was low. In 1986 the wasps weighed a total 2 1 2 1 of 194 ± 24 n1gDW m- a- and in 1988 only 69 ± 20 mgDW m- a- . The parasitoids of ectophytopha gous lepidopterans and coleopterans counted for n1ore than half of the whole biomass.

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.

Carol I, nr. 11, 700506, Iasi, Romania. 2 Troldhøjvej 3, DK-3310 Ølsted, Denmark, e-mail: [email protected],dk Corresponding author: [email protected] This paper presents an overview of the most important and best-known works that were the subject of taxonomy or systematics Platygastroidea superfamily. The paper is divided into three parts. In the first part of the research surprised the early period can be placed throughout the XIXth century between Latreille and Dalla Torre. Before this period, references about platygastrids and scelionids were made by Linnaeus and Schrank, they are the ones who described the first platygastrid and scelionid respectively. In this the first period work entomologists as: Haliday, Westwood, Walker, Forster, Ashmead, Thomson, Howard, etc., the result of their work being the description of 699 scelionids species which are found quoted in Dalla Torre's catalogue. The second part of the paper is devoted to early 20th century. This vibrant work is marked by the work of two great entomologists: Kieffer and Dodd. In this period one publish the first and only global monograph of platygastrids and scelionids until now. In this monograph are twice the number of species than in Dalla Torre's catalogue which shows the magnitude of the systematic research of those moments. The third part of the paper refers to the late 20th and early 21st century. -

ZooKeys 440: 57–87. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.440.7891 Abstract In order to resolve better the deep relationships among salticid spiders, we compiled and analyzed a mo- lecular dataset of 169 salticid taxa (and 7 outgroups) and 8 gene regions. This dataset adds many new taxa to previous analyses, especially among the non-salticoid salticids, as well as two new genes – wingless and myosin heavy chain. Both of these genes, and especially the better sampled wingless, confirm many of the relationships indicated by other genes. -

Box 339, Bloemfontein 9300, South Africa Invertebrates include more than 80% of all animals, yet they are severely under-represented in studies of southern African diversity. Site biodiversity estimates that do not consider invertebrates, not only omit the greatest part of what they are attempting to measure, but also ignore major contributors to essential ecosystem processes. All available information on spider species distribution in the South African Savanna Biome was compiled. This is the largest biome in the country,occupying over one third of the surface area.A total of 1230 species represented by 381genera and 62 families are known from the biome. The last decade has seen an exponential growth in the knowledge of the group in South Africa, but there certainly are several more species that have to be discovered, and the distribution patterns of those listed are partly unknown. Information is summarized for all quarter degree squares of the biome and reveals considerable inequalities in knowledge. At a large scale the eastern region is much better surveyed than the western parts, but at smaller scales throughout the region, several areas have little information. -

Chapter 12. Biocontrol Arthropods: New Denizens of Canada's
291 Chapter 12 Biocontrol Arthropods: New Denizens of Canada’s Grassland Agroecosystems Rosemarie De Clerck-Floate and Héctor Cárcamo Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada, Lethbridge Research Centre 5403 - 1 Avenue South, P.O. Box 3000 Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada T1J 4B1 Abstract. Canada’s grassland ecosystems have undergone major changes since the arrival of European agriculture, ranging from near-complete replacement of native biodiversity with annual crops to the effects of overgrazing by cattle on remnant native grasslands. The majority of the “agroecosystems” that have replaced the historical native grasslands now encompass completely new associations of plants and arthropods in what is typically a mix of introduced and native species. Some of these species are pests of crops and pastures and were accidentally introduced. Other species are natural enemies of these pests and were deliberately introduced as classical biological control (biocontrol) agents to control these pests. To control weeds, 76 arthropod species have been released against 24 target species in Canada since 1951, all of which also have been released in western Canada. Of these released species, 53 (70%) have become established, with 18 estimated to be reducing target weed populations. The biocontrol programs for leafy spurge in the prairie provinces and knapweeds in British Columbia have been the largest, each responsible for the establishment of 10 new arthropod species on rangelands. This chapter summarizes the ecological highlights of these programs and those for miscellaneous weeds. Compared with weed biocontrol on rangelands, classical biocontrol of arthropod crop pests by using arthropods lags far behind, mostly because of a preference to manage crop pests with chemicals.
