Masked or yellow-faced bees of the genus Hylaeus (Colletidae) differ in their mode of pollen transportation from most other bees in that they ingest the pollen directly on the flowers and carry it back to the nest inside the crop located in the anterior half of the metasoma. Due to this hidden mode of pollen transportation, the examination of pollen collected by Hylaeus females requires the dissection of the metasoma. Although this method has never been applied in Europe, the great majority of the Central European Hylaeus species were supposed to be pollen generalists based on observations of flower visits. The microscopical analysis of pollen removed from 30 crops each of 36 Central European Hylaeus species revealed that the proportion of species exhibiting an exclusive or strong preference for pollen from a single plant taxon is much higher than hitherto assumed and that the current assumption of the genus Hylaeus to largely consist of pollen generalists is wrong. Nineteen of the 36 species examined are strictly or largely dependent on a single plant taxon for collecting pollen, such as Apiaceae (n = 11 species), Rosaceae (n = 3), Reseda (Resedaceae) (n = 2), Allium (Amaryllidaceae) (n = 1), Asteraceae (n = 1) and Melilotus (Fabaceae) (n = 1). The 36 Hylaeus species examined collected pollen from the flowers of 31 plant families, of which the Apiaceae and Rosaceae (particularly Potentilla and Rubus) were by far the most important contributing almost 60% to the pollen host spectrum of the entire genus. The comparison between pollen host spectrum and flower visiting records showed that the pollen generalists use the flowers of the Asteraceae as nectar rather than pollen sources, corroborating earlier findings that the digestion of Asteraceae pollen requires physiological adaptations to cope with its unfavourable or protective properties. In summary, the patterns of pollen host use by bees of the genus Hylaeus do not substantially differ from those of other Palaearctic bee taxa despite the masked bees’ unusual habit to ingest the pollen directly on the flowers and to transport it inside their body back to the nest.

The Draa river basin is located south of the High Atlas Mountain rangee in Morocco. The Ephemeroptera (mayflies) fauna of its three sub-basins: the High, Middle, and Lower Draa are poorly known. This study contributes to the knowledge of Ephemeroptera and its distribution in relation to environmental parameters in this area. The larvae of Ephemeropteran species were collected during six field campaigns in 17 sites using a Surber sampler. A total of thirteen species belonging to ten genera and five families were identified. among which seven taxa were recorded for the first time in the southern Atlas area: Baetis maurus , Baetis rhodani , Cheleocloeon dimorphicum , Cloeon simile , Procloeon stagnicola , Labiobaetis neglectus and Oligoneuriopsis skhounate . The limits of distribution of most species can be explained by the increase in water temperature and electrical conductivity especially at lower altitudes.

Several adults and larvae of Pytho abieticola were discovered in 2021 and 2022 at three different localities in two regions of Switzerland, the Jura mountains and the Swiss National Park in the Eastern Alps. This very rare saproxylic beetle has not been detected in Switzerland so far. Considered a relict of primeval forests, it is in strong decline or has already disappeared from large areas of Central Europe. The isolated Swiss populations are the westernmost in its distributional range. Information on the ecology and distribution of P. abieticola in Switzerland and Europe is provided and criteria to distinguish P. abieticola from the congeneric and syntopic P. depressus are defined.

C’est un vendredi, le 29 juillet 2022, que Jacques nous a quitté subitement dans sa 77ème année. Jacques Derron, né le 16 septembre 1945 au Vully, a effectué la majorité de sa carrière à Agroscope, sur le site de Changins, dans le service d’entomologie dont il prit la tête jusqu’à sa retraite en 2008. Issu d’une famille d’agriculteurs, Jacques grandit dans le Vully au bord du Lac de Morat où tout petit il s’émerveille déjà devant les batraciens et autres insectes qu’il observe dans sa région. Il accomplit sa scolarité au Vully, à Fribourg et à Neuchâtel où il obtient la maturité scientifique. Il choisit ensuite d’étudier l’agronomie à l’EPFZ où il est très vite attiré par l’entomologie et séduit par la production intégrée. C’est ainsi qu’il consacre son travail de diplôme à la lutte biologique contre la Mouche de la cerise. Il part ensuite, avec son épouse Monique, également ingénieur agronome, pour l’île de São Tomé (Golfe de Guinée). Pendant trois ans, il y effectue des recherches sur l‘entomofaune dans les plantations de cacao et y découvre, entre autres, de nouvelles espèces dont toute une série de coccinelles, parmi lesquelles Nephus derroni et Thea moniqueae. Ces recherches aboutissent à sa thèse de doctorat défendue en 1977: «Approche écologique de l’entomofaune des cacaoyères de São Tomé», sous la direction du Prof. Dr. V. Delucchi, Institut d’Entomologie EPFZ. La même année, Jacques intègre le Service phytosanitaire du canton de Genève où il se consacre notamment à la jaunisse nanisante de l’orge et ses vecteurs, à savoir les pucerons. A cette époque, il s’intéresse déjà beaucoup à la thématique des seuils d’intervention contre les ravageurs des cultures. Ceci afin de pouvoir offrir aux agriculteurs un outil décisionnel permettant de savoir si une intervention phytosanitaire dans les cultures est justifiable et rentable. Après cette période genevoise, Jacques postule à Agroscope, appelé encore Station fédérale de recherches agronomiques de Changins. Il y est engagé en janvier 1980 dans le Service d’entomologie. Il travaille alors sur de nombreux thèmes, notamment les questions épidémiologiques liées aux vecteurs de virus dans les pommes de terre et les céréales, la recherche de solution aux dégâts d’insectes du colza et les premiers cas de résistances aux insecticides, l’élaboration de seuils d’intervention et la participation active à la lutte biologique à l’aide des Trichogrammes contre la pyrale du maïs. Cette dernière, s’avère plus que jamais d’actualité avec la recherche d’alternatives durables dans la gestion des bioagresseurs des plantes. De ces travaux découlent de nombreux échanges avec des collègues au niveau national, notamment avec les interlocuteurs cantonaux, l’interprofession, les firmes, les agriculteurs, tout comme à l’international avec notamment le projet Euraphid.

Eryngiofaga perrarasp. nov. is described, diagnosed and illustrated from two adult specimens found on Mount Pilatus (Switzerland, Obwalden). The new species is morphologically most similar to E. matura (Loginova, 1972), a species from Mongolia, from which it differs in the light genal processes and in details of the terminalia. Eryngiofaga consists of 13 previously described species of which five occur in Central and Western Europe. Up to now, the genus was not known from Switzerland or the Alps. The host plant of E. perrara remains unknown, but Bupleurum ranunculoides L. (Apiaceae) is a likely candidate.

An updated checklist of the Swiss species belonging to the family Coccinellidae is presented and briefly discussed. This checklist includes 81 species (82 taxa including the subspecies) and is based on 33'976 occurrences obtained from the identification of specimens held in museum and private collections, as well as from records taken from the literature. Exochomus oblongus Weidenbach, 1859, Hyperaspis peezi Fürsch, 1976, Hyperaspis pseudopustulata Mulsant, 1853, Nephus bisignatus (Fürsch, 1984), Rhyzobius forestieri (Mulsant, 1853), Scymniscus anomus (Mulsant & Rey, 1852) and Scymnus doriae Capra, 1924 are recorded for the first time in Switzerland. In parallel, Chilocorus similis (P. Rossi, 1790), Bulaea lichatschovii (Hummel, 1827), Ceratomegilla rufocincta rufocincta (Mulsant, 1850), Coccinella undecimpunctata undecimpunctata Linnaeus, 1758, Chnootriba elaterii (P. Rossi, 1794), Henosepilachna vigintioctopunctata (Fabricius, 1775), Hyperaspis quadrimaculata (Redtenbacher, 1843), Scymnus marginalis (P.
