The nematode family, Anguinidae, is a diverse group of polyphagous nematodes, generally known as fungal feeders or parasites aerial plant parts. Here, we present the morphological and molecular characterization adult females two Nothotylenchus species, N. medians similis, along with host association geographical distribution data genus. Both species are recorded new reports from Canada designat...

Four new species of Tanycarpa (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae), T. gymnonotum Yao sp. n., T. similis Yao sp. n., T. areolata Yao sp. n., and T. lineata Yao sp. n., are described from the Palaearctic Region of China, and T. chors Belokobylskij is newly recorded from China. Significant range extensions are given for T. bicolor (Nees von Esenbeck), T. gracilicornis (Nees von Esenbeck), and T. ...

Two new fossil representatives of the assassin bug family Reduviidae are described as new from Baltic amber (Upper Eocene), belonging to the genus Emesopsis of the tribe Ploiariolini (Emesinae): Emesopsis putshkovi sp. nov. and E. similis sp. nov. These representatives of the Emesinae are the oldest fossil bugs of the genus Emesopsis known so far, and reported for the first time. This genus is ...

A new species of the oribatid mite family Mochlozetidae from Ecuador, Unguizetes acutirostris sp. n., is described. It is similar to Unguizetes incertus (Balogh and Mahunka, 1969) and Unguizetes similis Mahunka, 1998 in having a pointed rostrum, but differs from both by the absence of a translamella, different morphology of the lamellar cusps, and spindle-form sensilli. An identification key to...

3,7-Dimethylpentadecan-2-ol was identified as the free alcohol in three species from two genera of pine sawflies (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae). In Neodiprion lecontei and Neodiprion sertifer the acetate of this alcohol is the major component of their sex attractant; in Diprion similis it is the propionate. By examining the responses of the male antennae of several species of Neodiprion through the...

during a survey on the identification of plant-parasitic nematodes associated with walnut in sanandej region (kurdistan province, western iran), a population of paratylenchus labiosus was collected and identified morphologically. description, illustrations and morphometrics of the species are given and comparisons are made between it and some related species. paratylenchus labiosus comes more c...

An epidemiological study was performed to know the recent infection status of Paragonimus westermani metacercariae (PwMc) in freshwater crayfish, Cambaroides similis, from 2 streams in Jeollanam-do, Republic of Korea. Crayfish were collected from creeks in Bogil-do (Island), Wando-gun, and in a creek near Daeheung Temple in Haenam-gun. The infection rate of crayfish with PwMc in Bogil-do was 89...
