Integrative Assessment of Hong Kong Chironomidae (Diptera) Shows High Species Richness Linked to Spatial and Environmental Factors

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
This study presents the first comprehensive assessment of Chironomidae biodiversity in Hong Kong, expanding the known species count from 17 to 243 through integrative taxonomy and establishing a reference DNA barcode library of 827 COI sequences. Chironomidae metacommunities are shaped by environmental filtering and mass effects, with little evidence ...

Some Remarks on the Systematical Value of the Male Hypopygium in Fungivoridae [PDF]

Bijdragen tot de Dierkunde, 1938
In spite of the many discussions on this subject, both in literature and meetings of entomological societies, a considerable controversy exists between those entomologists who, for determination, readily resort to a comparison of the hypopygia, this being too often the only part of the insect offering satisfactory species characters, and those who ...

New records and new species of Miracinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Australia and Papua New Guinea, with a key to world Mirax species

Austral Entomology, Volume 65, Issue 1, February 2026.
Abstract The genera of Miracinae, currently in something of a state of flux, are discussed with respect to their morphological and molecular attributes. Centistidea Rohwer, 1914 is treated provisionally as a valid genus, distinct from Mirax Haliday, 1833, based partly on propodeal morphology, though this is acknowledged to be an unstable character ...

Phylogenetic Systematics of the Species‐Groups of Apanteles and Related Genera From China Based on Mitogenomes

Journal of Zoological Systematics and Evolutionary Research, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The tribe Apantelini sensu Mason is the largest tribe within the subfamily Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). It consists of parasitoids that attack a wide range of families of Lepidoptera and have potential significance for biological control. However, genera (and species‐groups) included in this tribe often overlap, and due to the large number

Long Story of Long Antennae: Mesozoic Origins of the Subfamily Macrocerinae (Diptera: Keroplatidae)

Acta Geologica Sinica - English Edition, Volume 99, Issue 5, Page 1225-1248, October 2025.
Abstract The early evolutionary history of the Macrocerinae subfamily (Diptera: Keroplatidae) is poorly understood. However, new material from the Cretaceous, particularly in amber, provides a better understanding of this subject. We reassign the oldest known species of Macrocerinae, Hegalari minor Blagoderov & Arillo, 2002, from the amber of Álava ...
