A New Species

A new species of parasitoid wasp, Meteorus gigas Aguirre, Shaw and Jones (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), is described from Huila and Santander Provinces in Colombia and from Napo Province, in Ecuador. The new species is diagnosed and is compared to other species in the genus. Inferences about the possible biology of this species are discussed in consideration of the collecting methods used. The new species was most frequently found from Malaise trap samples but to a lesser extent from yellow pans and maxi-net sampling. Despite extensive sampling of caterpillars at this locality, the host of this new species remains unknown.Una nueva especie, Meteorus gigas Aguirre, Shaw, and Jones (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) es descrita para Huila y Santander Provincias en Colombia y de Napo Provincia, Ecuador. La especie es analizada y comparada con otras especies del género. Inferencias sobre la posible biología de esta especie es discutida teniendo en mente los métodos de colecta utilizados.

A New Species

A new species of parasitoid wasp, Meteorus oviedoi Shaw and Nishida (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), is described from the Central Valley of Costa Rica. The new species is diagnosed and compared to other species in the genus. It was reared from larvae of Venadicodia caneti (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae) on leaves of Licaria triandra (Lauraceae). The parasitoid is gregarious and modifies the behavior of its host. This is the first record of a Meteorus species attacking Limacodidae in Costa Rica.Una nueva especie, Meteorus oviedoi Shaw and Nishida (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) es descrita para Valle Central de Costa Rica. La especie es analizada y comparada con otras especies del género. Los especimenes fueron criados de larvas de Venadicodia caneti (Lepidoptera: Limacodidae), encontradas en hojas de Licaria triandra (Lauraceae). El parasitoide es gregario y modifica comportamiento del hospedero.

A new parasitoid wasp species, the eucoiline Hexacola lemnaphilae Gaddi & Díaz, is described. Specimens were reared from pupae of Lemnaphila neotropica Lizarralde de Grosso (Diptera: Ephydridae), a shore fly that mines least duckweed, Lemna minuta Kunth (Lemnaceae); the material examined was collected in Berisso (Buenos Aires, Argentina) and is housed in the collection of the División Entomología of the Museo de La Plata, Argentina. Photographs of diagnostic characters and data about the ecological and economic importance of these organisms are included.

A new species of Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Japan, Dolichogenidea maetoi Fernandez-Triana & Shimizu sp. nov., is described, representing the first record of a braconid wasp parasitizing the lepidopteran family Hyblaeidae in the Palaearctic Region (from Hyblaea fortissima Butler, 1881). The new species is fully illustrated, diagnosed and compared with all previously described species of the genus Dolichogenidea Viereck, 1911 in the Holarctic (154 species). Details on the wasp biology, including observed sex ratios, are provided.

Following the award of a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust (WCMT) Fellowship the author was able to visit the Charles P. Alexander (1889–1981) collection at the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D. C. to study craneflies gifted to him from fieldwork in Cameroon. They were collected by Malaise trap in forest clearings near streams on Mount Kupe, near Nyasoso, Cameroon. 21 new species of cranefly (Diptera: Tipulidae and Limoniidae): Dolichopeza (Dolichopeza) vicki sp. n., Nephrotoma mawdsleyi sp. n., Baeoura nyasosoensis sp. n.,Ellipteroides (Ellipteroides) nigromaculatus sp. n., Hovamyia gelhausi sp. n.,Limnophilomyia (Limnophilomyia) alexanderi sp. n., Ormosia (Neserioptera) cameroonensis sp. n., Afrolimnophila mederosi sp. n., A. oosterbroeki sp. n., Neolimnomyia kupensis sp. n., Pseudolimnophila (Pseudolimnophila) staryi sp. n., Achyrolimonia prycei sp. n., Dicranomyia (Dicranomyia) tuberculata sp. n., D.

(E.) trichoneura Alexander, 1956, H. (E.) tumidiscapa (Alexander, 1920), Medleromyia nigeriana Alexander, 1974, Achyrolimonia recurvans (Alexander, 1919), Atypopthalmus (Atypopthalmus) submendicus tuberculifer (Alexander, 1956), Dicranomyia (Dicranomyia) redundans (Alexander, 1956), Libnotes (Afrolimonia) rhanteria (Alexander, 1920), L. (A.) illiterata (Alexander, 1937), Limonia woosnami (Alexander, 1920), Orimarga (Protorimarga) bequaertiana (Alexander, 1930) and Toxorhina (Ceratocheilus) nigripleura (Alexander, 1920). In total 40 species are presented as new for Cameroon. A further 23 species already known from Cameroon were identified, and are listed here as some of them have not been recorded since their original description close to, or in some cases over, a hundred years ago.

A New Species

A new species of microgastrine parasitoid wasp (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), Cotesia testacea Fujie, Shimizu & Fernandez-Triana sp. nov., is described from Japan and Korea. It belongs to the flavipes species-group, which now comprises seven described species, most of them economically important as biocontrol agents of cereal and sugarcane stem borer pests worldwide. The new species, currently known from marsh habitats in the Eastern Palaearctic, is morphologically similar and probably related to the Western Palaearctic Cotesia ferruginea. A key to world species of the flavipes species-group is also provided.

A new species of Neotropical Psychodidae, Alepia claritae sp. nov., is described from Argentina. Specimens were col-lected in a Malaise trap located in Misiones Province. Based on material from the same locality, we include a re-descrip-tion of the adult male of Alepia copelata Quate (1999), previously known from Barro Colorado Island, Panama. These arethe first records of Alepia and the sixth record of a psychodine species for the Neotropical region of Argentina. A list of the non-phlebotomine Psychodidae for Argentina is included.

The Colombian species of parasitoid wasp Urosigalphus are revised for the first time, based on specimens deposited inmuseums. Almost all the material was collected by Malaise trap in the understory stratum of the seasonally flooded forest(varzea), submontane forest, and lowland forest, located in protected areas. 23 new species are described and illustrated:U. aliuslongitudinis Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. amandae Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. carinaverticis Arias-Penna, n. sp., U.cavusscuti Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. colombiensis Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. colordissimilis Arias-Penna, n. sp., U.faciescarinae Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. fimbriaeplanae Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. frequens Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. inaequalisArias-Penna, n. sp., U. macarenaensis Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. margo Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. metanotuminsignum Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. monticola Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. notauliremoti Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. ocellivicini Arias-Penna, n. sp.,U. ordoincompositus Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. sharkeyi Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. singularis Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. taniaeArias-Penna, n. sp., U. tredecimantennae Arias-Penna, n. sp., U. triacarinae Arias-Penna, n. sp., and U. whitfieldi AriasPenna, n. sp. An updated key to the known South American species is presented.
