Revision of rock fossils of Dryinidae and Embolemidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea)

New fossil taxa of Embolemidae and Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) are described. For Embolemidae, Embolemopsis baissensis n. gen. n. sp. and Baissobius minutus n. sp., are described from Central Siberia, West Transbaikalia, left bank of Vitim River (facing downstream), Baissa, lake deposits from earlier Early Cretaceous (Neocomian stage) (130–140 mybp). For Dryinidae, Anteonopsis antiquus n. gen. n. sp., Bocchus ? cenomanianus n. sp. and Gonatopus ? cretacicus n. sp., are described from Siberia, Magadan Region, Obeschchayushchiyi, tuffaceous deposits from Upper Cretaceous (Cenomanian) (90–95 mybp); Deinodryinus ? aptianus n. sp., is described from Central Mongolia, Bayanhongor Aimag, 5–8 Km N Bon Tsagan Nuur Lake, from impressed in lake deposits of the Khurilt rock unit probably of Aptian (Early Cretaceous) (100–115 mybp). In addition, an unidentified fossil belonging to Deinodryinus ? or Dryinus ? is recorded from Russian Far East, Maritime Province, Velikaya Kema (later Earlier or early Middle Miocene) (about 30 mybp). The known species of Baissobius Rasnitsyn are reviewed and a key is presented.

ABSTRACTNew paleodietary data were obtained after the discovery and excavation in 2015–2017 of the Cherepakha 13 site in the southern part of Primorye (Maritime) Province in far eastern Russia. The site is located near the coast of Ussuri Bay (Sea of Japan) and belongs to the Yankovsky cultural complex of the Early Iron Age 14C-dated to ca. 3000 BP (ca. 1200 cal BC). The stable isotope composition of the bone collagen for 11 humans and 30 animals was determined. For humans, the following values (with±1 sigma) were yielded: δ13C=–10.2±0.8‰; and δ15N=+12.4±0.3‰. The majority of terrestrial animals show the usual isotopic signals: δ13C=–19.4 ÷ –23.3‰; and δ15N=+4.6÷+6.6‰ (for wolves, up to +10.1‰); dogs, however, have an isotopic composition similar to humans: δ13C= –11.7±1.2‰; and δ15N=+12.4±0.4‰. Marine mammals have common values for pinnipeds: δ13C=–13.7 ÷ –14.6‰; and δ15N=+17.4 ÷ +18.0‰. The main food resources for the population of Cherepakha 13 site were (1) marine mollusks, fish, and mammals; and (2) terrestrial mammals; and possibly C4 plants (domesticated millets).

The Russian Far East

This chapter examines Russian officials’ debates and policies regarding Koreans in the Maritime Province from 1880 to the 1920s. It sees these policies as part of a broader project to revise the practice of plural jurisdiction, in which the empire ruled its vast territories and peoples through a flexible legal regime. Amidst a growing wave of nativist sentiment, officials aimed to standardize the privileges respectively held by subjects and foreigners and to institutionalize borders. In the Russian Far East, suspicions about the interference of the Korean, Chinese, and Japanese governments led officials to categorize the resident Korean population as subjects and aliens, experiment with policies to ban the settlement of Koreans in the border region, institute border and passport laws, and discuss the benefits and dangers of continued Asian migration to Russia. The chapter further explores how Koreans subverted these laws and policies to their own ends.
