In this paper there is presented the result of the revaluation of data concerning the Ichneumonids from Romania, as a result of numerous papers published in the last years on the taxonomic and diversity of this group of Hymenoptera. Following this revaluation and bringing up-to-date, it results that, in Romania, up to the present, there were identified 2229 species of Ichneumonids, belonging to 438 genera and 30 subfamilies.

  • ARTHROPODA Subphylum Hexapoda Protura, Springtails, Diplura, and Insects

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).

  • Worldwide Integrated Assessment of the Impacts of Systemic Pesticides
    WORLDWIDE INTEGRATED ASSESSMENT OF THE IMPACTS OF SYSTEMIC PESTICIDES ON BIODIVERSITY AND ECOSYSTEMS http://www.tfsp.info/assets/WIA_2015.pdf Report in brief The Task Force on Systemic Pesticides is an independent group of scientists from all over the globe, who came together to work on the Worldwide Integrated Assessment of the Impact of Systemic Pesticides on Biodiversity and Ecosystems. The mandate of the Task Force on Systemic Pesticides (TFSP) has been “to carry out a comprehensive, objective, scientific review and assessment of the impact of systemic pesticides on biodiversity, and on the basis of the results of this review to make any recommendations that might be needed with regard to risk management procedures, governmental approval of new pesticides, and any other relevant issues that should be brought to the attention of decision makers, policy developers and society in general” (see appendix 2). The Task Force has adopted a science-based approach and aims to promote better informed, evidence-based, decision-making. The method followed is Integrated Assessment (IA) which aims to provide policy-relevant but not policy-prescriptive information on key aspects of the issue at hand. To this end a highly multidisciplinary team of 30 scientists from all over the globe jointly made a synthesis of 1,121 published peer-reviewed studies spanning the last five years, including industry-sponsored ones. All publications of the TFSP have been subject to the standard scientific peer review procedures of the journal (http://www.springer.com/environment/journal/11356). Key findings of the Task Force have been presented in a special issue of the peer reviewed Springer journal “Environmental Science and Pollution Research” entitled “Worldwide Integrated Assessment of the Impacts of Systemic Pesticides on Biodiversity and Ecosystems” and consists of eight scientific papers, reproduced here with permission of Springer.

KOLAROV A b s t r a c t : The Ichneumonidae species and subspecies known from formerYugoslavia are listed and catalogized. For each species there is pointed out: the name valid at present, the name of first description, the name of which the species from Yugoslavia was reported by an author; the place and time of catch, the host if it is known and the general distribution according to the existing bibliographic data. Key words: Catalogue, Ichneumonidae, species, former Yugoslavia, distribution. Introduction The Ichneumonidae fauna of former Yugoslavia is not enough investigated. The first records of Ichneumonidae species from Yugoslavia had been made by SCOPOLI (1763). Later there are some special investigations on Ichneumonidae from Yugoslavia – SCHLETTERER (1894-1895), STROBL (1901-1904), HENSCH (1928-1930), HEINRICH (1930). In working out the present catalogue the whole available Western Palearctic bibliography was surveyed including many monographic works of SCHMIEDEKNECHT, MEYER, TOWNES, AUBERT, KASPARYAN and others. A part of the species was determined and reported by us (KOLAROV 2003; KOLAROV & GLAVENDEKIC 1992, 1998; GLAVENDEKIC & KOLAROV 1994). In this paper the subfamily Adelognathinae with 2 species, marked by an asterisk are newly recorded from Montenegro. The arangements of the taxons was made mainly afther YU & HORSTMANN (1997). Up to now 936 Ichneumonidae species and subspecies (including 4 fossil) of 27 subfa- milies from the Yugoslavian fauna are known. In the present catalogue there are given for each species: the name valid at present; the name of first description; the name of which the species from Yugoslavia was reported by an author; the place and time of catch; the plant on which the insect has been caught or its host from which it has been reared, if it is known.

  • Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) As Biological Control Agents of Pests
    Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) As Biological Control Agents Of Pests A Bibliography Hassan Ghahari Department of Entomology, Islamic Azad University, Science & Research Campus, P. O. Box 14515/775, Tehran – Iran; [email protected] Preface The Ichneumonidae is one of the most species rich families of all organisms with an estimated 60000 species in the world (Townes, 1969). Even so, many authorities regard this figure as an underestimate! (Gauld, 1991). An estimated 12100 species of Ichneumonidae occur in the Afrotropical region (Africa south of the Sahara and including Madagascar) (Townes & Townes, 1973), of which only 1927 have been described (Yu, 1998). This means that roughly 16% of the afrotropical ichneumonids are known to science! These species comprise 338 genera. The family Ichneumonidae is currently split into 37 subfamilies (including, Acaenitinae; Adelognathinae; Agriotypinae; Alomyinae; Anomaloninae; Banchinae; Brachycyrtinae; Campopleginae; Collyrinae; Cremastinae; Cryptinae; Ctenopelmatinae; 1 Diplazontinae; Eucerotinae; Ichneumoninae; Labeninae; Lycorininae; Mesochorinae; Metopiinae; Microleptinae; Neorhacodinae; Ophioninae; Orthopelmatinae; Orthocentrinae; Oxytorinae; Paxylomatinae; Phrudinae; Phygadeuontinae; Pimplinae; Rhyssinae; Stilbopinae; Tersilochinae; Tryphoninae; Xoridinae) (Yu, 1998). The Ichneumonidae, along with other groups of parasitic Hymenoptera, are supposedly no more species rich in the tropics than in the Northern Hemisphere temperate regions (Owen & Owen, 1974; Janzen, 1981; Janzen & Pond, 1975), although

Journal of Hymenoptera Research 41: 31–45. doi: 10.3897/JHR.41.8099 Abstract A new genus, Helenanomalon gen. n., of the ichneumonid subfamily Anomaloninae is described for two newly described species, Helenanomalon ashmolei sp. n. and H. bonapartei sp. n. Helenanomalon species are endemic to the remote South Atlantic island of St Helena, where they are the only known anomalonines. Unusually amongst anomalonines, there seems to be pronounced sexual dimorphism. The possible affinities of Helenanomalon are discussed. Keywords Taxonomy, new genus, new species, south Atlantic, UK overseas territory Introduction The remote, southern Atlantic island of St Helena (a UK overseas territory) has, un- surprisingly, a very small fauna of endemic Hymenoptera. Being 1,960 km from the nearest landmass (Africa), only a few Ichneumonoidea have colonised the island under their own steam, although a variety of tramp species have been inadvertently intro- duced. The invertebrate fauna of two key areas of St Helena was recently catalogued by Ashmole and Ashmole (2004) and Mendel et al.
