Während zwei der drei Wälder typische bodensaure Buchenwaldstandorte unterschiedlichen Alters verkörpern, ist der dritte Standort ein steiler Eichengrenzwald, der stark mit Kiefern bewachsen ist. Insgesamt kommen Daten von 717 gefangenen Individuen in 17 Arten zur Auswertung. Die Fauna setzt sich auf den bodensauren Buchenwaldstandorten aus weit verbreiteten euryöken Wegwespen zusammen. Auffällig ist, dass allein 628 Wegwespen in 14 Arten von einer isolierten Windwurffläche des Sturmes Kyrill stammen. Demgegenüber konnten in einem sehr alten, aufgelichteten Buchenwald nur 56 Exemplare in fünf Arten gefangen werden. Wegwespen haben in aufgelichte- ten, „urwaldähnlichen“ Buchenwäldern ihr Aktivitätsmaximum in den Frühjahrsmonaten. Auf Lichtungen hingegen kommen neben Frühjahrsarten auch Hochsommer-Pompiliden vor. Es zeigte sich, dass das Vorkommen der Pompiliden im Wesentlichen durch ein für die Entwicklung der Larven geeignetes Mikroklima innerhalb des Waldes bestimmt wird, und weniger durch die Spinnendichte und die Verfügbarkeit von Nestrequisiten. Summary Markus Fuhrmann: The fauna of Spider Wasps (Hymenoptera: Pompilidae) of different forest habitats in the National Park Keller- wald-Edersee (Germany, Hessen). Pompilid wasps were studied in three different forest types in the Nationalpark Kellerwald-Edersee (Germany, Hesse, Waldeck-Frankenberg). Two woods were red beech forests, the third was a boundary oak wood. The oak wood yet was dominated by pines.

    Bees and Wasps of the East Sussex South Downs

    A SURVEY OF THE BEES AND WASPS OF FIFTEEN CHALK GRASSLAND AND CHALK HEATH SITES WITHIN THE EAST SUSSEX SOUTH DOWNS Steven Falk, 2011 A SURVEY OF THE BEES AND WASPS OF FIFTEEN CHALK GRASSLAND AND CHALK HEATH SITES WITHIN THE EAST SUSSEX SOUTH DOWNS Steven Falk, 2011 Abstract For six years between 2003 and 2008, over 100 site visits were made to fifteen chalk grassland and chalk heath sites within the South Downs of Vice-county 14 (East Sussex). This produced a list of 227 bee and wasp species and revealed the comparative frequency of different species, the comparative richness of different sites and provided a basic insight into how many of the species interact with the South Downs at a site and landscape level. The study revealed that, in addition to the character of the semi-natural grasslands present, the bee and wasp fauna is also influenced by the more intensively-managed agricultural landscapes of the Downs, with many species taking advantage of blossoming hedge shrubs, flowery fallow fields, flowery arable field margins, flowering crops such as Rape, plus plants such as buttercups, thistles and dandelions within relatively improved pasture. Some very rare species were encountered, notably the bee Halictus eurygnathus Blüthgen which had not been seen in Britain since 1946. This was eventually recorded at seven sites and was associated with an abundance of Greater Knapweed. The very rare bees Anthophora retusa (Linnaeus) and Andrena niveata Friese were also observed foraging on several dates during their flight periods, providing a better insight into their ecology and conservation requirements.

Box 98615-538, I.R. Iran. 2 Division of Invertebrate Zoology, American Museum of Natural History, Central Park West at 79th Street, New York, NY 10024, USA. ABSTRACT. 231 species of the family Vespidae (Hymenoptera, Vespoidea) of Iran, in 55 genera belonging to 4 subfamilies Eumeninae (45 genera, 184 species), Masarinae (5 genera, 24 species), Polistinae (2 genera, 17 species) and Vespinae (3 genera, 6 species) are listed. An overall assessment of the distribution pattern of the vespid species in Iran indicates a complex fauna of different biogeographic regions. 111 species are found in both Eastern and Western Palaearctic regions, while 67 species were found only in the Eastern Palaearctic region. Few species (14 species – 6.1%) of various genera are known as elements of central and western Asian area and their area of distribution is not known in Europe (West Palaearctic) and in the Far East. The species that were found both in the Oriental and Afrotropical Regions comprises 11.7 and 15.6% the Iranian vespid fauna, respectively. Many species (48, 20.8%) are exclusively recorded from Iran and as yet there is no record of Received: these species from other countries. The highest percentage of the vespid 01 January, 2020 species are recorded from Sistan-o Baluchestan (42 species, 18.2%), Alborz (42 Accepted: species, 18.2%), Fars (39 species, 16.9%) and Tehran provinces (38 Species 17 January, 2020 16.5%), representing the fauna of the Southeastern, North- and South Central Published: of the country.

    Second Report Into the Chrysis Ignita Group – a Provisional Approach to Gain Confidence in Identifying the Specimens

    Second report into the Chrysis ignita group – a provisional approach to gain confidence in identifying the specimens Michael Archer, 17 Elmfield Terrace, Malton Road, YORK YO31 1EH I have now gained more experience in identifying specimens of the genus Chrysis with the help of grants from BWARS and BENHS in visiting further, and making loans from, museums. In addition, I have started to look at personal collections of Chrysididae, including my own collection. As such, I am now able to give the following advice for the nine names used by Morgan (1984), although I still need more experience of specimens of C. schencki. 1. The nine names of Morgan that will be considered are: C. pseudobrevitarsis, C. longula, C. ruddii, C. angustula, C. ignita, C. impressa, C. schencki, C. rutiliventris and C. mediata. 2. Kunz (1994) reduced these nine names of Morgan to three species: C. pseudobrevitarsis, C. mediata and C. ignita. 3. The C. ignita of Kunz includes Morgan’s names: angustula, impressa, schencki, rutiliventris, longula, ruddii besides ignita, although longula and ruddii are recognised as varieties. I will refer to the C. ignita of Kunz as the C. ignita complex. I have been able to find specimens of Morgan’s nine names which agree with the characteristics given by Morgan. There are, however, specimens which are difficult to place with one of the names of Morgan. To overcome this problem I have developed a set of characters which will, hopefully, enable you to build up a set of “type” specimens for each name. Your set of “type” will then give you confidence to determine the more difficult specimens.

    Hymenoptera: Aculeata) of Some Key Heathland Sites in the West Midlands Region

    BR. J. ENT. NAT. HIST., 23: 2010 77 THE BEE AND WASP ASSEMBLAGES (HYMENOPTERA: ACULEATA) OF SOME KEY HEATHLAND SITES IN THE WEST MIDLANDS REGION STEVEN J. FALK Warwickshire Museum, Market Place, Warwick CV34 4SA [email protected] ABSTRACT A description of the modern bee and wasp assemblages of seven heathlands in the British West Midlands region at the end of the twentieth century is given with an indication of historic losses and recent gains. The characteristics of the various habitats that are typically present at such sites and the way that these are utilised by bees and wasps are discussed. INTRODUCTION Despite the ravages of agricultural improvement and the substantial growth of towns and cities within the British West Midlands Region (sensu modern Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Staffordshire, Shropshire and the unitary districts such as Birmingham and Wolverhampton that formed the former West Midlands County), patches of lowland heathland still remain. However, huge losses have been incurred (90% in Staffordshire over the past 200 years according to DEFRA, 2003) and with the exception of Cannock Chase the remaining sites are mostly small and isolated. Today, the Region supports approximately 3000 hectares of ‘heathland’ (DEFRA, loc. cit.) of which nearly 2000 hectares fall within modern Staffordshire, 500 hectares in the former West Midlands County, 108 hectares in modern Worcestershire, and the remainder in Herefordshire, Shropshire and Warwickshire. The precise definition of heathland used by the various sources varies from ericaceous dwarf-shrub communities in the strictest sense to the larger mosaics of heathers, scrub, bracken and grassland that often occur in association.
