Review of Afrotropical Figitinae (Figitidae, Cynipoidea, Hymenoptera) with the first records of Neralsia and Lonchidia for the region

ZooKeys, 2014
The cynipoid subfamily Figitinae is poorly represented in the Afrotropical region with two genera (Figites Latreille and Xyalophora Kieffer) and six species currently known. Here we record an additional two genera (Neralsia Cameron and Lonchidia Thomson)

Floral resource strips enhance parasitoid abundance and diversity in apple orchards and promote agroecological advances in a South African biosphere reserve

Insect Conservation and Diversity, Volume 19, Issue 3, Page 559-572, May 2026.
Floral resource strips within apple orchards increased parasitoid abundance and influenced community composition, enhancing local biodiversity in the Kogelberg Biosphere Reserve's transition zone. Ruderal and natural fynbos habitats supported higher parasitoid richness and abundance, emphasising the importance of conserving semi‐natural habitats ...

Mitogenomic phylogeny of Eurytoma Illiger (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae): Genus delimitation, species‐group assessment and recurrent host‐use transitions

Systematic Entomology, Volume 51, Issue 2, April‐June 2026.
Mitogenomes from 166 Eurytomidae confirm Eurytoma is polyphyletic; 10 species groups are recovered in Eurytoma s.s., and several lineages are reassigned to other genera or newly delimited clades. Conservative head and mesosoma traits, especially the postgenal depression and ventral shelf, track mitogenomic clades closely, supporting their diagnostic ...

Revision of the Barbotin's Charipinae collection with description of a new Alloxysta species (Hymenoptera: Cynipoidea: Figitidae) [PDF]

, 2017
The Barbotin's Charipinae collection has been revised and all the specimens have been identified to species level. A total of 1011 specimens have been studied and grouped in 24 species: Alloxysta arcuata, A. basimacula, A. brachycera, A.

The Malaise Trap: Its Utility and Potential for Sampling Insect Populations [PDF]

, 2017
Slightly over three decades have elapsed since Malaise (1937) first published plans for the insect trap now bearing his name a stationary mesh tent with open sides, a central baffle, and a top-mounted collecting apparatus (Fig. 1).

Life‐history traits of the Whiting polyploid line of the parasitoid Nasonia vitripennis

Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata, Volume 167, Issue 7, Page 655-669, July 2019., 2019
Polyploidy occurs fairly frequently in parasitoid wasps, a common class of biocontrol agents. Polyploidy is detrimental in ‘complementary sex determination’ (CSD) species because of the sterile diploid male vortex. Less is known about its impact on non‐CSD species.

An insect †Archaeopteryx: Cretaceous amber fossil elucidates the evolution of complex host detection and ovipositor mechanisms in parasitoid woodwasps (Hymenoptera: Orussoidea)

Systematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 3, Page 630-645, July 2025.
We describe †Cretovelona orussopteryx n. gen. & sp. from Kachin amber. The fossil is examined with synchrotron scanning and integrated into an existing morphological data set for Orussoidea. This fossil parasitoid wasp displays a unique character combination demonstrating intermediate conditions in evolving the complex features employed in echo ...

Hymenoptera of Canada [PDF]

ZooKeys, 2019
A summary of the numbers of species of the 83 families of Hymenoptera recorded in Canada is provided. In total, 8757 described species are recorded compared to approximately 6000 in 1979, which is a 46% increase. Of the families recognized in 1979, three

Interactive Charipinae Worldwide Database: a valuable tool for entomologists, agronomists and pest controllers [PDF]

, 2015
Els Charipinae (Hym.: Cynipoidea: Figitidae) són una subfamília d'himenòpters molt important, els seus membres són hiperparàsits d'àfids i psílids, i per tant estan involucrats en programes de control biològic de plagues.

Evolution of behavioural and cellular defences against parasitoid wasps in the Drosophila melanogaster subgroup

Journal of Evolutionary Biology, Volume 29, Issue 5, Page 1016-1029, May 2016., 2016
Abstract It may be intuitive to predict that host immune systems will evolve to counter a broad range of potential challenges through simultaneous investment in multiple defences. However, this would require diversion of resources from other traits, such as growth, survival and fecundity. Therefore, ecological immunology theory predicts that hosts will
