ABSTRACT The first detection of one of the most harmful defoliating insects, the ash weevil Stereonychus fraxini (DeGeer, 1775) in Black Sea Region (Trabzon) of Turkey is reported here. Both the genus Stereonychus Suffrian, 1854 and the species S. fraxini are new records for the Turkish fauna. A diagnostic morphological update is presented with digital evident. Female terminalia segments, genital structure, metathoraxic wings are described for the first time.

ABSTRACT The micromoth genus Scrobipalpomima Povolný, 1985, mainly distributed in southern South America, is one of the more diverse Neotropical genera of Gonorimoschemini (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae: Gelechiinae). The adult stage of Scrobipalpomima agustini sp. nov. is described and illustrated from the Andes of northern Chile. Larval feeding and pupation of S. agustini occur inside fusiform stem galls on the native spiny shrub Adesmia spinosissima Meyen (Fabaceae). The larva and pupa of S. agustini are illustrated and briefly described. This discovery expands the northern limit of Scrobipalpomima and represents the first record of immature stages and host plant for this genus of micromoths

ABSTRACT A survey for scolytine bark and ambrosia beetles undertaken on the entomologically understudied and ecologically devastated Hawaiian island of Lāna‘i, revealed the remarkable presence there of Xyleborus mauiensis Perkins, 1900, an endemic Hawaiian ambrosia beetle in the tribe Xyleborini not previously recorded from the island. Its presence on Lāna‘i ‘fills the gap’ in a distribution encompassing the now isolated islands of Molokai and Maui that together with Lanai composed the single historically large island of Maui Nui more than half a million years ago. We emphasize the reliance of X. mauiensis upon its only known host plant, the endemic Hawaiian Cheirodendron trigynum (Araliaceae), and highlight the conservation importance of ensuring the persistence of even a small number of native plants in environments otherwise dominated by exotic flora. We also report five additional new species records for introduced exotic bark and ambrosia beetles in the tribes Xyleborini and Trypophloeini new to Lāna‘i, discussing their significance to our understanding of the distribution of bark beetles in Hawai‘i. We provide a checklist of all Scolytinae recorded from Lāna‘i to date, together with their known host plants and photographs of the newly recorded beetles together with a map indicating where they were sampled.
在昆虫学研究不足和生态破坏严重的夏威夷Lāna 'i岛上进行的一项调查显示，1900年在岛上发现了Xyleborus mauiensis Perkins，这是一种以前没有在岛上记录过的夏威夷特有的木耳甲虫。它在Lāna ' i '上的存在填补了分布上的空白，包括现在孤立的莫洛凯岛和毛伊岛，这些岛屿与拉奈岛一起构成了50多万年前历史上单一的大岛毛伊岛。我们强调了毛毛扁虱依赖于其唯一已知的寄主植物，夏威夷特有的三叉蕨(五aliaceae)，并强调了在异国植物占主导地位的环境中确保即使少量本地植物的持久性的保护重要性。我们还报道了Lāna 'i新发现的Xyleborini和Trypophloeini部落中引入的外来树皮和ambrosia甲虫的5个新种记录，讨论了它们对我们了解夏威夷树皮甲虫分布的意义。我们提供了一份从Lāna 'i到目前为止记录的所有Scolytinae的清单，连同它们已知的寄主植物和新记录的甲虫的照片，以及指示它们采样地点的地图。

ABSTRACT The genus Dioctria Meigen, 1803 (Diptera: Asilidae, Dioctriinae) was sampled in northern Iran. The specimens were collected using Malaise traps during 2010–2012. A new species Dioctria faciata Mohammadi, Talebi & Van den Broek sp. nov., is described and illustrated. Dioctria taurica Lehr, 2001 is recorded for the Iranian fauna for the first time. The new species can be distinguished from Dioctria cornuta Lehr, 2001 by the following characters: black mystax; face slightly swollen at edge of mouth and larger body (8-9 mm vs 5.8 mm). The number of Dioctria species in Iran is now increased to 17. An updated checklist of Iranian species of the genus Dioctria is provided.

ABSTRACT The larval instars of the genus Meloe L. are known to develop on provisions and immature stages of various species of ground-nesting bees. The first instar of Meloe, commonly known as a triungulin, attains its food source through phoresy on adult bees. In most species, the triungulins quest on flowers and attach to visiting bees. It has long been known that triungulins also attach to a variety of pilose flower visitors such as Diptera that do not serve as hosts. The fate of triungulins attaching to non-host visitors has been questioned and considered by some to be dead-end behavior. In this study of Meloe strigulosus Mannerheim in a coastal dune habitat we provide the first direct evidence that attachment to non-host insects can result in flower to flower dispersal and thus is not necessarily a mortality factor. In addition, we show that non-host attachments, largely on species of Tachinidae, are relatively common and constitute a significant fraction of the total triungulin load carried by flower visitors. A survey of variation in the COI mitochondrial gene of M. strigulosus throughout our study area reveals four haplotypes; their distribution also provides limited evidence for within habitat dispersal prior to final host attachment.

ABSTRACT Trap-jaw ants, Odontomachus spp., are large, predaceous species with potent stings. The Neotropical trap-jaw ant, Odontomachus ruginodis, common throughout much of the West Indies, was first found in Florida in 1931. Whether O. ruginodis is native or exotic to Florida has remained uncertain. Here, I compiled published and unpublished records from 300 sites in Florida, including my own records from 112 sites, to examine the spread of O. ruginodis in Florida. Whereas the earliest Florida records of O. ruginodis were restricted to the southernmost part of the state, the known range has expanded progressively northward. This species is now known from 43 counties in Florida, as far north as Fernandina Beach (30.7°N), a few km from the Georgia border. This recent spread and its prevalence in human disturbed habitats, combined with an apparent lack of co-evolutionary history with a native predator of Odontomachus, support the supposition that O. ruginodis is not native to Florida. There appear to be no geographic or climatic barriers to prevent the spread of O. ruginodis into the panhandle area of Florida and further west along the Gulf Coast. As a result, more people may get an opportunity to experience the stings of O. ruginodis when they encounter them, for example, in urban and suburban gardens.
