the ichneumonidae fauna of kerman province, iran, was surveyed in april 2013 to june 2014. in total, 35 species belonging to 22 genera and eight subfamilies were collected and identified, of which cryptus armator fabricius, 1804; enizemum schwarzi diller, 1987 and barichneumon gaullei berthoumieu, 1903 are new records for thefauna of iran. an updated list of ichneumonid species for kerman provi...

The Afrotropical banchine fauna (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) comprises 12 genera. One of these, Cryptopimpla Taschenberg, 1863, is a predominately northern hemisphere genus represented by 47 described species of which only one is known from the Afrotropical region. We describe nine new species of this rare Afrotropical genus: Cryptopimpla elongatussp. n., Cryptopimpla fernkloofensissp. n., Cryp...

Six species of the genus Stethantyx Townes are found to occur in Mexico. One species, S. mexicana sp. n., is described as new, and four recently described Neotropical species, S. alajuela Khalaim & Broad, S. heredia Khalaim & Broad, S. osa Khalaim & Broad and S. sanjosea Khalaim & Broad, are new records from Mexico. A key to species of Stethantyx occurring in Mexico is provided.

A new species, Notopygus longiventris Sun & Sheng, sp. n., collected from Benxi County, Liaoning Province, China, and N. emarginatus Holmgren, 1857, reared from Neurotoma sibirica Gussakovskij (Hymenoptera, Pamphiliidae) from Haicheng, Liaoning Province, are reported. The new species is placed within existing key to species.

Bees and wasps could exhibit shape and size sexual dimorphism, and most of their morphological variation could depend on phenotypic responses due to environmental pressure during ontogenetic development. More complex measurement techniques related to size and shape rather than simply to mass and length should be required to analyze such a complex sexual dimorphism. In this study, differences re...

In this paper two new species of Campoletis Förster, 1869 (Ichneumonidae: Campopleginae) are described from Kenya: clepsydra sp. n. and kangalogba Additionally, cinctula (Holmgren, 1868), a known only South Africa so far, is first reported Ethiopia, further Ethiopian African records pedunculata (Enderlein, 1914) given.
