Pine sawflies in the genus Neodiprion Rohwer are widely distributed across the Northern Hemisphere and are pests of commercially important conifer trees. While sampling for Neodiprion species in eastern North America, two colonies of Neodiprion warreni Ross were discovered in Tennessee feeding on Pinus virginiana Mill. These are the first records of N. warreni in Tennessee and on the host P. virginiana . Here, we use a combination of larval and adult female morphology to confirm species identification. We also discuss two potential explanations for these observations: N. warreni was always present in Tennessee and feeding on P. virginiana but, until now, has gone unreported or these new records are attributable to a recent range expansion and host shift. We also discuss potential economic and evolutionary implications of range expansions and host shifts in plant-feeding insect pest species.

An examination of parasitoids that had completed their development but were trapped within Delta dimidiatipenne nests revealed 15 species of insect parasitoids, belonging to eight families under two orders. A new association of Miltogramminae (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) with this wasp is also reported.

Aganaspis daci , a larval-pupal parasitoid of several tephritid species, was unexpectedly recovered in the Campania region (Southern Italy), where it had not been intentionally released. An integrative approach was used to conduct a comprehensive characterization of this parasitoid, confirming its identification through a comparison with specimens obtained from laboratory rearing. While A. daci emerged from puparia of Ceratitis capitata during this study, its original association was recorded with Bactrocera dorsalis . The presence of A. daci in Italy highlights its successful establishment, possibly facilitated by the recent invasive process of its host, B. dorsalis , offering promising prospects for future tephritids control strategies. It is intriguing to note that the mt-haplotypes found in Italy were only partially shared with those observed in specimens originating from a Spanish rearing, suggesting likely distinct origins for at least part of the Italian population.

The earliest representatives of Chalcidoidea are described from Barremian age Early Cretaceous Lebanese amber and classified in Protoitidae Ulmer & Krogmann, fam. nov. (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea). Protoitidae exhibits a high morphological diversity of the terminal metasomal tergum which may indicate a broad spectrum of oviposition capabilities and the ability to occupy a diverse range of ecological niches. Protoitidae comprises two genera, Protoita Ulmer & Krogmann, gen. nov. , and Cretaxenomerus Nel & Azar, 2005 based on C. jankotejai Nel & Azar, 2005, which is transferred from Scelionidae (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea) to Protoitidae. Together, 10 new species, all by Ulmer and Krogmann, are described in the two included genera– Protoita bidentata , P. istvani , P. noyesi , P. petersi , Cretaxenomerus brevis , C. curvus , C. deangelis , C. mirari , C. tenuipenna , and C. vitreus . Keys to the genera and species of Protoitidae are provided. In addition, we examine the postulated plesiomorphies and apomorphies within Chalcidoidea with respect to the fossil record, and provide additional hypotheses on their biogeographic origins.

The genus Orientilla Lelej, 1979 is newly recorded from Laos based on O. tamaderai sp. nov. (Xieng Khouang) and O. vietnamica Lelej, 1979 (Vientiane). One additional new species, O. nitens sp. nov. , is described from India (Tamil Nadu). These three species share many diagnostic features within Orientilla , but they are distinguished by the body coloration and shape of clypeus, hypostomal carina, humeral carina, and metasomal terga 1–2. An identification key to females of the genus is provided.

Genus Nomada , which includes approximately 800 species, is the largest genus in the subfamily Nomadinae and the sole genus in the tribe Nomadini. Its taxonomic classification is particularly challenging due to high morphological variations, making it one of the most controversial groups in the subfamily. In order to shed light on the complex classification of Nomada species and their tribal position, this study conducted a multi-locus phylogeny using one mitochondrial gene (COI) and five nuclear protein-coding genes (EF1α, Nak, Opsin, Pol Ⅱ, Wingless). The study focused on expanding the knowledge of some East Palearctic species, with the ultimate goal of reviewing species groups of Nomada present in Korea. In this study, we suggest that the ruficornis species group is polyphyletic. Some species should be moved to more appropriate species groups as follows: N. tsunekiana , N. emarginata , and N. flavopicta into the basalis species group; N. aswensis , N. kaguya , and N. taicho into the armata species group.

Numerous scientific projects have been initiated with the aim of tackling the decline in insect pollinators, a crucial group for the functioning of terrestrial ecosystems. One of the first steps is to address information gaps on species spatial distribution, diversity, and abundance that prevent effective conservation actions in Europe. Given that Serbia belongs to the understudied areas, efforts are being made to improve knowledge of its bee diversity and abundance. The present study includes the monitoring of bees at 54 sites, surveyed three times during 2022. The conducted protocol combined two methods, transect walks and pan traps, resulting in the discovery of 312 bee species. The main results present the records of 25 species, not previously mentioned in Serbia, while another important finding is the confirmation of the presence of 26 species, without any available records from the 21 st century. Moreover, 79 here examined species were known only from literature-based data. Six of the recorded species are considered threatened and 67 (10 newly recorded) have been assessed as Data Deficient in the European Red List of Bees. Therefore, the present study not only contributes to an update and confirms the list of bee species in Serbia, that now counts 731 species, but also provides additional information about European distribution, required for new assessment at the European level. In addition, the results indicate that the combination of complementary sampling methods is an effective way to assess bee diversity and abundance.

The first record of the Darwin wasp, Cyrtorhyssa moellerii Bingham, 1898 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonoidea, Rhyssinae) from Thailand is presented. Members of both sexes are fully described and illustrated. The biology of C. moellerii , a parasitoid of the pleasing fungus beetle Encaustes opaca Crotch, 1876 (Coleoptera, Erotylidae), is reported for the first time. Hosts were associated with standing deadwood of Anthoshorea henryana (Pierre ex Laness.) P. S. Ashton & J. Heck (Dipterocarpaceae) in dry evergreen forest, Nakhon Ratchasima province, northeastern Thailand. DNA barcodes (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 1 sequence (COI)) were generated for both host and parasitoid and phylogenetic trees constructed for these and other members of the same family and subfamily respectively. A key is provided to separate the three known species of Cyrtorhyssa . This is the first confirmed host record for a tropical species of Rhyssinae as well as the first from Erotylidae.
