Rtaciones Al Conocimiento De La Subfamilia Ichneumoninae En España, II t. 64, págs. 243-255 (1988). Nuevas aportaciones al conocimiento de la subfamilia Ichneumoninae en España, II. Tribu Ichneumonini (Hym. Ichneumonidae) POR J. SELFA, S. BORDERA y R. JIMENEZ INTRODUCCIÓN. A pesar del gran interés que presenta, tanto desde el punto de vista taxonómi- co como de la Entomología Aplicada, la fauna ibérica de los Ichneumoninae no ha sido objeto de ningún estudio monográfico. Los pocos datos que hasta la ac- tualidad poseemos proceden fundamentalmente de la extensa obra realizada por G. CEBALLOS (1924, 1925, 1941, 1956, 1959, 1964, 1965, 1966), y algunas otras notas esporádicas de autores españoles o extranjeros, pero que han seguido muy diversos criterios taxonómicos. En un trabajo precedente (SELFA, BORDERA y JimENEz,en prensa), iniciamos el estudio de la subfamilia Ichneumoninae tratando tres de las tribus que actual- mente comprende la misma, y donde se expuso la metodología empleada en nuestro estudio. En el presente trabajo se aborda el estudio de material procedente de la tribu Ichneumonini, que constituye el grupo más extenso dentro de la subfamilia, ya que reune a 62 géneros con casi 600 especies paleárticas. Comprenden Ichneu- mónidos de tamaño mediano a grande, y con una distribución muy amplia. Son parásitos de Macrolepidópteros, teniendo raramente como hospedadores a Nymphalidae y Satyridae (RASNITSYN, 1981). De las cinco subtribus que en la actualidad engloba, únicamente cuatro se en- cuentran representadas en la Región Paleártica: Amblytelina (Viereck, 1918); Cratichneumonina Heinrich, 1967; Hoplismenina Heinrich, 1967 e Ichneumonina Heinrich, 1975. En nuestro país la tribu se encuentra representada por algo más de 200 espe- cies, que se distribuyen en 39 géneros. Del material estudiado se han podido determinar un total de 13 géneros y 22 especies, resultando el género Stenaoplus Heinrich, así como las especies Stenao- plus habermehli (Schmiedeknecht), Stenaoplus pictus (Gravenhorst), Platylabops virginalis Heinrich, Triptognathus sibilans (Gravenhorst), Barichneumon praecep- tor (Thunberg) e Ichneumon obliteratus Wesmael nuevas citas para la Península Ibérica. De esta forma, la fauna española de esta tribu pasa ahora a estar consti- tuida por 223 especies pertenecientes a 40 géneros. Todo el material estudiado queda depositado en la Colección de la Cátedra de Entomología de la Universidad de Valencia. RESULTADOS. Género Stenaoplus Heinrich, 1938.

  • MONITORING REPORT 2020 BILL BUDD It Is with Great Sadness That We Must Report the Death of Bull Budd in Autumn 2020
    Wimbledon and Putney Commons ECOLOGICAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT 2020 BILL BUDD It is with great sadness that we must report the death of Bull Budd in autumn 2020. Bill was our much respected, dragonfly and damselfly recorder and a member of the Wildlife and Conservation Forum. As well as recording on the Commons, Bill also worked as a volunteer at the London Natural History Museum for many years and was the Surrey Vice County Dragonfly Recorder. Bill supported our BioBlitz activities and, with others from the Forum, led dedicated walks raising public awareness of the dragonfly and damselfly populations on the Commons. In September 2020 in recognition of his outstanding contributions to the recording and conservation of Odonata, a newly identified dragonfly species found in the Bornean rainforest* was named Megalogomphus buddi. His contributions will be very much missed. * For further information see: https://british-dragonflies.org.uk/dragonfly-named-after-bds-county-dragonfly-recorder-bill-budd/ Dow, R.A. and Price, B.W.

  • Scottish Macro-Moth List, 2015
    Notes on the Scottish Macro-moth List, 2015 This list aims to include every species of macro-moth reliably recorded in Scotland, with an assessment of its Scottish status, as guidance for observers contributing to the National Moth Recording Scheme (NMRS). It updates and amends the previous lists of 2009, 2011, 2012 & 2014. The requirement for inclusion on this checklist is a minimum of one record that is beyond reasonable doubt. Plausible but unproven species are relegated to an appendix, awaiting confirmation or further records. Unlikely species and known errors are omitted altogether, even if published records exist. Note that inclusion in the Scottish Invertebrate Records Index (SIRI) does not imply credibility. At one time or another, virtually every macro-moth on the British list has been reported from Scotland. Many of these claims are almost certainly misidentifications or other errors, including name confusion. However, because the County Moth Recorder (CMR) has the final say, dubious Scottish records for some unlikely species appear in the NMRS dataset. A modern complication involves the unwitting transportation of moths inside the traps of visiting lepidopterists. Then on the first night of their stay they record a species never seen before or afterwards by the local observers. Various such instances are known or suspected, including three for my own vice-county of Banffshire. Surprising species found in visitors’ traps the first time they are used here should always be regarded with caution. Clerical slips – the wrong scientific name scribbled in a notebook – have long caused confusion. An even greater modern problem involves errors when computerising the data.

  • Blackthorn Prunus Spinose
    Fareham Borough Council October Blackthorn Prunus spinose What’s in a name? This species is described as a shrub rather than a plant. Despite this, it can grow up to 5m (16’) tall. Unsurprisingly, the name is directly related to the dark smooth bark and the unusually long dark grey thorns. In Latin, ‘spinosa’ refers to the pointed and thorn-like spur shoots which grow from the base of the shrub. These are sharp and strong enough to puncture even a tractor tyre. The name of the fruit (sloe), comes from the old English word ‘slah’ which is itself derived from the Saxon word ‘slaha’. Botany & Ecology Blackthorn is a member of the Rose family and it is closely related to the Cherry Plumb (Prunus cerasifera). The snowy white blossom appears early in the spring and can be confused with the blossom of some species of plum. The small flowers offer a rich source of nectar and pollen for bees and butterflies. The foliage is sometimes eaten by the larvae of the Emperor Moth (Saturnia pavonia), Brimstone Moth (Opisthograptis luteolata), as well as the black (Satyrium pruni), and brown (Thecla betulae), Hairstreak Butterflies. Dead Blackthorn wood provides food for the caterpillars of the Concealer Moth (Esperia oliviella). The pocket plum gall of the fruit caused by the fungus Taphrina pruni produces a long, flat gall which does not contain a stone. A variety of birds, like the blue tit and robin, search the leaves for the caterpillars and other insects in the spring and feast on the berries in autumn.

  • Hymenoptera Ichneumonidae of the Montecristo Island (Tuscan Archipelago), with Some New Records for the Italian Fauna
    Naturalista sicil., S. IV, XLIII (1), 2019, pp. 101-111 FILIPPO DI GIOVANNI & PIER LUIGI SCARAMOZZINO HYMENOPTERA ICHNEUMONIDAE OF THE MONTECRISTO ISLAND (TUSCAN ARCHIPELAGO), WITH SOME NEW RECORDS FOR THE ITALIAN FAUNA SUMMARY Data on the presence in the Island of Montecristo (Tuscan Archipelago, Italy) of 35 taxa of Ich- neumonidae (Hymenoptera Ichneumonoidea) are provided. The specimens were collected with a Malaise trap in 2011 and 2012. Seven of the identified species were already known for the Tuscan archipelago, four for the Island of Montecristo. The total number of Ichneumonidae in the Archipelago rises from 20 to 49 species, that of Montecristo from 5 to 36. Eleven species are new records for South Italy. Townostilpnus chagrinator Aubert, 1916, previously known only from Cor- sica and southern France, is new to Italy. Key words: biodiversity, parasitoids, checklist RIASSUNTO Gli Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) dell’Isola di Montecristo (Arcipelago Toscano, Italia), con alcu- ne nuove segnalazioni per la fauna italiana. Sono forniti dati sulla presenza nell’isola di Montecristo (Arcipelago Toscano, Italia) di 35 taxa di Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera Ichneumonoidea). Gli esemplari sono stati raccolti con una trappola Malaise nel 2011 e nel 2012. Sette delle specie identi- ficate erano già conosciute dall’arcipelago toscano, quattro di queste per l’isola di Montecristo. Il numero totale di Ichneumonidae nell’Arcipelago sale da 20 a 49 specie, quello di Montecristo da 5 a 36. Undici specie sono nuove per l’Italia meridionale. Townostilpnus chagrinator Aubert, 1961, in precedenza noto solo di Corsica e Francia meridionale, è nuovo per l’Italia. Parole chiave: biodiversità, parassitoidi, checklist 102 F.

  • Cheshire (Vice County 58) Moth Report for 2016
    CHESHIRE (VICE COUNTY 58) MOTH REPORT FOR 2016 Oleander Hawk-Moth: Les Hall Authors: Steve H. Hind and Steve W. Holmes Date: May 2016 Cheshire moth report 2016 Introduction This was the final year of recording for the National Macro-moth Atlas. A few species were added to squares during daytime searches early in the year but any plans to trap in under- recorded squares were often thwarted by cold nights and it was not until mid-July that SHH considered it worthwhile venturing into the uplands. The overall atlas coverage in the county has been good and our results should compare well against the rest of the country, although there remain gaps in most squares, where we failed to find species which are most likely present. Hopefully these gaps will be filled over the next few years, as recording of our Macro-moths continue. As always, a list of those species new for their respective 10km squares during 2016 can be found after the main report. A special effort was made during the winter to add historical records from the collections at Manchester Museum and past entomological journals, which will enable us to compare our current data with that of the past. Now that recording for the Macro- moth atlas is over, our efforts turn to the Micro-moths and the ongoing Micro-moth recording scheme. There is a lot to discover about the distributions of our Micro-moths across the county and the increasing interest continues to add much valuable information. 2016 was another poor year for moths, with results from the national Garden Moth Scheme showing a 20% decline on 2015 (excluding Diamond-back Moth, of which there was a significant invasion).

Apechthis compunctor (females only) Pimpla rufipes (black slip wasp. females only) Which type of ichneumonid do I have? Rhyssa persuasoria (sabre wasp) Large and/or colourful species Possible confusions - Lissonata setosa Amblyjoppa fuscipennis Nocturnal, orange-bodied species – sickle wasps Amblyjoppa proteus Enicospilus ramidulus Achaius oratorius Ophion obscuratus Amblyteles armatorius Opheltes glaucopterus Ichneumon sarcitorius Netelia tarsata Ichneumon xanthorius Possible confusions - Ophion luteus Ichneumon stramentor Wing comparison Callajoppa cirrogaster and Callajoppa exaltatoria Others Possible confusions - Ichneumon suspiciosus Alomya debellator Acknowledgements Further reading 2 Introduction Ichneumonids, species of the family Ichneumonidae, are difficult to identify because so many look similar. Identifications are usually made using tiny features only visible under a microscope, which Subfamily Species makes the challenge even harder. This guide attempts to allow beginners to name 22 of the most Alomyinae Alomya debellator identifiable or most frequently encountered species from eight of the 32 subfamilies in Britain. It is Banchinae Lissonota lineolaris not a comprehensive guide but intended as an introduction, using characters that are often visible in Lissonata setosa photos or in the field.
