Revision of Genus Enclisis Townes and description of two new species (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

Published in the book of abstracts of the X European Workshop on Insect Parasitoids, Erice (Sicily), Italy, 17-21 september, 2007, p. 73.Two new species of Enclisis Townes, 1970, from Spain and Balkan Region are described and illustrated: E. castellana sp.n. and E. balcanica sp.n. Females of the new species are distinguished between, and from the closest species E. ornaticeps, by microsculpture of first lateral area of propodeum and mesopleurum, head features and body colour. Male of E. balcanica is distinguished from the closest species E. infernator and E. schwarzi by its head, less transversal, and for a longer second metasomal tergite. Male of E. castellana is separated from E. ruficeps by its microsculpture on mesopleurum and mesonotum, always on shiny background, and for the position of subdiscoideus, which reach the postnervulus in the middle or above the centre. Furthermore, data on phenology of E. castellana and a new illustrated key for the Enclisis species, excluding E. nigricoxis and E. ruficoxis, is provided. The species E. alpicola, E. ornaticeps and E. macilenta are recorded for the first time for Bulgarian fauna. E. infernator is first record for Bulgaria and Spain.This research was supported partially by the Projects 040/2002 from Ministerio de Medio Ambiente of Spanish Government and GV06/271 from Conselleria d’Empresa, Universitat i Ciència of Generalitat Valenciana

Ethics and accuracy in scientific researches with emphasize on taxonomic works

Research is one of those highly complex and subtle activities that usually remain quite unformulated in the minds of those who practise them. This is probably why most scientists think that it is not possible to give nay formal instruction in how to do research. Additionally, training in research must be largely self-training,preferably with the guidance of an experienced scientist in the handling of the actual investigation. Scientific research, which is simply the search for new knowledge, appeals especially to people who are individualists and their method vary from one person to another. A policy followed by one scientist may not be suitable for another, and different methods are required in different branches of science. However, there are some basic principles and mental techniques that are commonly used in most types of investigation, at least in the biological sphere. Honesty and morals are the first step in all scientific researches and a researcher must consider it in all stages of a scientific work. The role and importance of accuracy and honesty in taxonomy and systematic is more than other biological sciences. For having the honesty in scientific researches, learning the principals of ethics is needed for all the researchers and students. Therefore, this paper deals with the ethics in science and technology and also important comments on taxonomy.Facultad de Ciencias Naturales y Muse

Fauna y distribución de los Phygadeuntonini (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Cryptinae)

Faunistic data of 64 species of Phygadeuontini from Bulgaria are reported. Of them, 27 species are new records for Bulgarian fauna. Zoogeographical considerations about all listed species are given.En el presente artículo se ofrecen nuevos datos faunísticos sobre 64 especies de Phygadeuontini de Bulgaria, de éstas, 27 constituyen nuevas citas para la fauna del país. Asimismo se aporta un comentario sobre la zoogeografía de todas las especies mencionadas.This research was partially supported by a grant from Conselleria d’Empresa, Universitat i Ciència of Generalitat Valenciana (AINV06/103)

FAUNISTIC NOTES ON THE ICHNEUMONIDAE (HYMENOPTERA), WITH A NEW RECORD FROM NORTHEASTERN TURKEY

The present contribution is based upon ichneumonids collected from the northeastern part of Turkey (Bayburt, Erzurum and Kars) in 2007-2009. A total of 7 species belonging to the subfamilies Anomaloninae, Campopleginae, Cremastinae, Cryptinae, Ctenopelmatinae and Tryphoninae have been identified. Among them, Chirotica insignis (Gravenhorst, 1829) is a new record for Turkish fauna. Anomalon cruentatum (Geoffroy, 1785) and Netelia (Netelia) dilatata (Thomson, 1888) are very common in the study area. New data on the distribution of 6 known species are presented. Additionally, a short zoogeographical characterization is given for each of the species

A new species and additional records of the genus Collyria Schiødte, 1839 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) from Turkey

First records of the ichneumonid wasp Misetus nordicator Selfa, 1995 (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) outside Sweden, with the description of the male

This study deals with the first Norwegian records of the ichneumonid wasp Misetus nordicator Selfa, 1995. 24 males and one female were recorded from 13 Norwegian localities in the period 1996–2016: i.e. Østfold [Ø] Halden: Vesttorp; Akershus [AK] Frogn: Lågøya; Oslo [AK] Oslo: Hovedøya, Ullensaker: Sessvollmoen; Buskerud [BØ] Kongsberg: Skollenborg; Telemark [TEY] Drangedal: Ronnomdalen; Aust Agder [AAY] Grimstad: Rønnes and Marivold; Hedmark [HEN] Åmot: Kildesaga; Nordland [NSI] Grane: Majavatn and Nordre Laksforsmo; Finnmark [FV] Alta: Kåfjord and Detsika; all captured in Malaise traps. These are the first findings of M. nordicator outside Sweden as well as the first records of the male worldwide. A description of the male is provided and illustrated with four figures, and a world key to the genus is given. It is clear that the genus Misetus Wesmael, 1845 contains at least two species in Norway: M. oculatus Wesmael, 1845 and M. nordicator. Both species are found scattered in Southern and Central Norway, but M. nordicator seems apparently to be the most abundant of these species, and may have a slightly more northern expansion than M. oculatus. Previous records of Misetus from Norway are listed
