AbstractWe present new information on the parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) of aphids infesting cotton, tobacco, citrus, and cereal agroecosystems in southeastern Europe. Nineteen species are keyed and illustrated with scanning electron micrographs and line drawings. The aphidiines presented in this work have been identified from 18 aphid taxa. Furthermore, 96 original parasitoid–aphid–plant associations are presented. Cotton, tobacco, and citrus agroecosystems are connected through aphids and their parasitoids, whereas cereal agroecosystems represent a separate group of associations.

Although Aphidiinae parasitoids have been used as agents for biocontrol of alfalfa aphids for more than half a century and have been the subject of numerous ecological investigations, there is an evident lack of systematic studies on the parasitoids of aphids infesting alfalfa in Europe. Here we present an original and up-dated key for identification of both native and invasive Aphidiinae parasitoids attacking aphids that feed on alfalfa in Europe. In total, 20 species are keyed and illustrated with scanning electron micrographs and line drawings.

AbstractA key to the genera of Scelionidae of the Holarctic region is given. Sixty-seven genera are recognized in three subfamilies, viz. Telenominae, Teleasinae, and Scelioninae. Seven new genera and six new species are described from America north of Mexico, viz. Aradoctonus armatus n. gen. and n. sp. (Telenominae, Telenomini), Embioctonus setiger n. gen. and n. sp. (Scelioninae, Embidobiini), Epigryon audax n. gen. and n. sp. (Scelioninae, Gryonini), Exon californicum n. gen. and n. sp. (Scelioninae, Gryonini), Harringtonia n. gen. for Baryconus cinctus Harrington (Scelioninae, Psilanteridini), Mecix texana n. gen. and n. sp. (Scelioninae, Psilanteridini), and Spiniteleia campbelli n. gen. and n. sp. (Scelioninae, Psilanteridini). The Nearctic and Palearctic faunas of Scelionidae are compared, analyzed, and tabulated on generic level. Twenty-eight plates with 207 scanning electron micrographs and line drawings are included.

The genus Chaetohesma is proposed for a group of small bees of the subfamily Euryglossinae. Ten new species are described: C. tuberculata, C. newmanensis, C. levis, C, striolata, C. infuscata, C. isae, C. robusta, C. foveolata, C. baringa and C. megastigma. Keys, line drawings and scanning electron micrographs that enable the separation of species are presented.

The Zygaenidae are a family of day-flying moths with an unusual biology – they are capable of releasing prussic (hydrocyanic) acid. All Australian species belong to the subfamily Procridinae (commonly known as foresters) and many of these feature iridescent green colours or a wasp-like look. This is the first study of the Australian fauna of these attractive and biologically interesting moths. In this volume their beauty is captured larger-than-life in 114 finely detailed portraits by acclaimed artist František Gregor, setting a new benchmark for moth illustrations. Comprehensive general chapters discuss zygaenid morphology, biology, phylogeny and classification, with considerable new information of world-wide relevance. The book then provides in-depth treatments of the 10 genera and 43 species present in Australia, including 4 genera and 21 species new to science. It features keys to genera and species, photos of genitalia of both sexes and other diagnostic structures, and distribution maps for all species. Additionally, there are 8 pages of colour photographs and over 400 photos of microscopic structures, including more than a hundred spectacular scanning electron micrographs.

Two new genera of Halticini (Heteroptera: Miridae) from Australia, Dampierella and Goodeniaphila, are described, and include the new species Dampierella schwartzi, Goodeniaphila cassis, and G. schuhi. Habitus photos, scanning electron micrographs and illustrations of salient characters, including the male and female genitalia, distribution maps, and host plant data are included. Additionally, a key to the Australian Halticini is given.

Twenty new Australian species of the scarabaeine genus Onthophagus Latreille are described: O. arkoola, O. beelarong, O. bindaree, O . binyana, O. bundara, O. cooloola, O, dinjerra, O. godarra, O. gurburra, O . kakadu, O . mije, O . mongana, O. pinaroo, O. trawalla, O. weringerong, O . williamsi, O . worooa, O. yackatoon, O. yaran, O . yourula. Notes and scanning electron micrographs are given to assist in the separation of each from previously described Australian species. Distribution maps are provided for each species.

Spore features are the least variable characters and therefore the most reliable for taxonomic purposes. A key for the identification of the 33 species is provided. All species are described and illustrated with line drawings, chromosome numbers are reported, typification and relationships are discussed, and collections are listed; scanning electron micrographs of the spores are provided for 29 species. New taxa described include one section (Viridisquamata), nine species (R. areolata, R. blackii, R. caroliniana, R. collata, R. luticola, R. longiciliata, R. olgensis, R. rorida and R. spongiosula), and five varieties (R. duplex var. megaspora, R. rnultifida var. divaricata, R. rnj?da var. jiliformis, R. mult~jida var. torticolla and R. papulosa var. variabilis). Two binomials are considered to be of uncertain status.

AbstractA review of Nearctic Apotomis Hübner (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae: Olethreutini) is presented. Seventeen species are recognized, of which the following are new: coloradensis, trifida, and spurinfida. Apotomis strigosa Heinrich, 1926 is considered a new synonym of tertiana McDunnough, 1922, and dextrana McDunnough, 1923 of removana Kearfott, 1907. Descriptions, distribution maps, and a key to species are provided. Illustrations of male and female genitalia and photographs of distinctive wing patterns are included. Scanning electron micrographs reveal that setae on digitus of male genitalia are taxonomically important.

Original information on aphidiine braconids attacking aphids feeding on Prunoideae (i.e., Prunus spp.) and Maloideae (i.e., Malus domestica, Cydonia oblonga, Pyrus communis) plants in Southeast Europe is presented. A total of 15 species are keyed and illustrated with scanning electron micrographs and line drawings. The aphidiines presented in this work have been identified from 21 aphid taxa. Ninety-three aphidiine-aphid-plant associations are presented, 21 of which are new.
