Based on a cladistic analysis of the digger wasp subtribe Gorytina, the subtribes Argogorytina Nemkov and Lelej 1996, stat. resurr. (consisting of Argogorytes Ashmead 1899, Neogorytes Bohart in Bohart and Menke 1976, and Pterygorytes Bohart 1967), and Trichogorytina, subtrib. nov. (genus Trichogorytes Rohwer 1912 only) are removed from Gorytina. The genus Pterygorytes Bohart 1967 is transferred to Handlirschiina. New generic synonyms are: Pseudoplisus Ashmead 1899, and Leiogorytes Bohart 2000 = Gorytes Latreille 1805; and Malaygorytes Nemkov 1999 = Argogorytes Ashmead 1899. Thirteen species originally described in Pseudoplisus are transferred to Gorytes (new comb.): P. butleri Bohart 1969, P. californicus Bohart 1969, P. catalinae Bohart 1969, P. claripennis Bohart 1969, P. erugatus Bohart 1969, P. flavidulus Bohart 1969, P. hadrus Bohart 1969, P. imperialis Bohart 1969, P. nigricomus Bohart 1969, P. ocellatus Bohart 1969, P. samiatus Bohart 1969, P. willcoxi Ohl 2009, and P. tanythrix Bohart 1969. Also transferred to Gorytes (new comb.) are Leiogorytes guerrero Bohart 2000, Arpactus nyasicus R. Turner, 1915 and the following twelve species originally described in Gorytes but currently placed in Pseudoplisus: G. abdominalis Cresson 1865, G. aequalis Handlirsch 1888, G. divisus F. Smith 1856, G. effugiens Brauns 1911, G. fasciatus W. Fox 1896, G. montanus Cameron 1890, G. natalensis F. Smith 1856, G. ranosahae Arnold 1945, G. rubiginosus Handlirsch 1888, G. rufomaculatus W. Fox 1896, G. smithii Cresson 1880, and G. venustus Cresson 1865. Malaygorytes konishii (Nemkov 1999) is transferred to Argogorytes (new comb.). Updated diagnoses of Gorytes and Argogorytes are provided.

Genus Level

A cladistic analysis of the digger wasp tribe Bembicini based on morphological characters is presented. The underlying data matrix comprises 64 terminal taxa (coded on genus-level) and 54 morphological characters. The resulting strict consensus tree was used as the basis for a revised subtribal classification of the Bembicini. Based on a previously published classification, we herewith propose a number of changes. The subtribe Spheciina Nemkov and Ohl, subtrib. nov. (comprising Ammatomus A. Costa 1859, Kohlia Handlirsch 1895, Sphecius Dahlbom 1843, and Tanyoprymnus Cameron 1905) is removed from Handlirschiina Nemkov and Lelej 1996. The subtribe Stictiellina Bohart and Horning 1971, stat. resurr. (composed of Chilostictia Gillaspy 1983, Glenostictia Gillaspy in Gillaspy, Evans, and Lin 1962, Microstictia Gillaspy 1963, Steniolia Say 1837, Stictiella J. Parker 1917, and Xerostictia Gillaspy 1963) is separated from Bembicina Latreille 1802. The subtribe Argogorytina Nemkov and Lelej 1996 (Argogorytes Ashmead 1899, Neogorytes Bohart in Bohart and Menke 1976, Paraphilanthus Vardy 1995) is synonymized with Exeirina Dalla Torre 1897, syn. nov. Finally, the subtribe Trichogorytina Nemkov and Pulawski 2009 (genus Trichogorytes Rohwer 1912 only) is synonymized with Gorytina Lepeletier de Saint Fargeau 1845, syn. nov. An updated identification key to the subtribes of the Bembicini is provided.

The first comprehensive information on the bionomics of the digger wasp Oxybelus variegatus Wesmael, 1852 is presented. Females nested in small aggregations in crevices between paving stones of a frequently used pedestrian pathway in lowland agricultural wasteland. Nests were dug in the ground using mandibles, legs and abdomen. The nest consists of a main burrow with one or, rarely, two cells. The mature larva is described for the first time. The egg stage lasts for about two days before the larva hatches. The female provisioned each cell with an average of 11 paralysed male flies of Delia platura (Meigen, 1826) (Diptera: Anthomyiidae). Numerous females of dipteran kleptoparasites were observed in the nesting area of O. variegatus. However, only a few nests were infested by larvae of Senotainia conica (Fallen, 1810).

A New Species

Odontopleura (Odontopleura) arctica, a new species of odontopleurine trilobite, is described from the Canadian Arctic. A method of cladistic analysis is detailed. Parsimony analysis should be performed treating all characters as unordered. The universe of directed trees implied by the resulting rootless network(s) can then be examined and a preferred tree selected by a criterion of congruency. Namely, the most parsimonious directed tree that accommodates the most congruent arrangement of character-states should be taken as the preferred cladogram. Since this is essentially a general congruency method operating within the constraints of parsimony, it is termed “constrained congruency.” The method is applied to the genus Odontopleura, resulting in the recognition of two major species groups, the nominate subgenus and Sinespinaspis n. subgen. Odontopleura (Ivanopleura) dufrenoyi Barrande is tentatively included in the genus, but considered too poorly known for cladistic analysis. Species assigned to Odontopleura (Odontopleura) include Odontopleura ovata Emmrich, Odontopleura brevigena Chatterton and Perry, Odontopleura (Odontopleura) arctica n. sp., and Diacanthaspis serotina Apollonov. Species assigned to Sinespinaspis n. subgen. include Taemasaspis llandoveryana Šnajdr, Odontopleura greenwoodi Chatterton and Perry, Odontopleura maccallai Chatterton and Perry, and Odontopleura nehedensis Chatterton and Perry. Odontopleura bombini Chatterton and Perry is tentatively placed in synonymy with Odontopleura nehedensis. The genus had a wide distribution throughout the Early and Middle Silurian, due to preferences for deep-water, distal shelf or shelf-slope transition zone habitats.

Heteroptera Pentatomidae

The genus Elsiella Froeschner, 1981 is validated based on the analysis of a recently found male specimen of E. plana(Walker, 1867). A cladistic analysis comprising a data set of 40 morphological characters and 22 taxa, including the generaElsiella, Serdia Stål, Similliserdia Fortes & Grazia, Neotibilis Grazia & Barcellos, and Tibilis Stål, was performed. Elsiellaplana is redescribed and illustrated. Maps are provided for Elsiella and Serdia with biogeographical considerations for Serdia.
