A new species of Chilicola Spinola, subgenus Hylaeosoma Ashmead (Xeromelissinae), is described from southwestern Guatemala. Chilicola ( Hylaeosoma) maya sp. n. is distinguished from other species of the megalostigma species group. The new species is superficially most similar to C. kevani Oliveira, Mahlmann & Engel from northeastern Brazil owing to the extensive areas of orangish honey colour on the antenna and mesosoma.

This paper reviews the range expansion of Brachinus sclopeta (Fabricius, 1792) and describes the discovery of an apparently established population of B. sclopeta on an organic farm in southern England.

Two female examples of Microterys Thomson, 1876, wasp are recorded: Microterys seyon Guerrieri, 1996, from a traditional orchard on the Gwent Levels, Monmouthshire, and Microterys polylaus (Walker, 1846) from a suburban garden at Evesham, Worcestershire. This is the first record of the M. polylaus female.

Little is known about the eastern Palaearctic species Anthrenus nipponensis, a member of the Palaearctic A. pimpinellae species complex. In the current study, a morphometric examination of specimens held in the Natural History Museum, London, is carried out. A. nipponensis is larger and narrower than most other species belonging to the complex. The unusual shape of the antennal club is illustrated and discussed. The male genitalia are small but of comparable size to several other Anthrenus species relative to body length. The accuracy of published drawings of A. nipponensis aedeagi is discussed. The literature is searched for records of A. nipponensis to produce a geographical and phenological distribution. The species is distributed across Japan, the Korean peninsula, north-eastern corner of China, and the south-eastern tip of Russia. The adult flight season peaks during the second half of May. Details on the life history are included.

A further species of the Cretaceous wasp family Falsiformicidae (Chrysidoidea) is described and figured from a male preserved in Upper Cretaceous (Turonian) amber from New Jersey. This represents the first occurrence of the lineage in the Western Hemisphere as well as the most recent taxon, with all others dating from the Cenomanian or earlier deposits. Neophenax orcus gen. and sp. n. is compared with Falsiformica cretacea Rasnitsyn from Upper Cenomanian Siberian (Agapa) amber, which is currently the formally described falsiformicid with which the species shares most similarities.
白垩纪伪蜂科(Chrysidoidea)的另一种被描述并从新泽西州的上白垩纪(Turonian)琥珀中保存的一只雄性黄蜂身上发现。这代表了该谱系在西半球的首次出现,也是最新的分类单元,其他所有分类单元都可以追溯到塞诺曼尼亚或更早的沉积物。将Neophenax orcus gen. and sp. n.与上Cenomanian Siberian (Agapa)琥珀中的pseudoformica白垩纪Rasnitsyn进行比较,后者是目前正式描述的与该物种最相似的伪虫。

Pediobius rotundatus (Fonscolombe) (Eulophidae) is reported for the first time from Britain, reared from sexual generation galls of Plagiotrochus quercusilicis (Fabricius) (Cynipidae) on Quercus ilex L ., collected in the counties of Suffolk and Kent, England. Additional first British host records of three species of Pteromalidae and one of Torymidae, from galls of P. quercusilicis, are also presented.
