Vertical distribution of Diptera in forests is still insufficiently studied and there are many unanswered questions. The study has been conducted in the Republic of Mordovia (central European Russia). To collect insects, traps with beer and sugar bait were used. Collections were made during the period of June–September 2020 in four sites in deciduous forests. The maximum number of Diptera specimens has been collected at the height of 1.5 m from the ground level, and the minimum at the height of 3.5 m. Species from eight families (Anisopodidae, Calliphoridae, Drosophilidae, Fanniidae, Lonchaeidae, Milichiidae, Muscidae, Tipulidae) represent the main part of the sampled specimens. Calliphoridae, Drosophilidae, Dryomyzidae and Tipulidae, were most abundant at the height of 1.5 m from ground level. At the height of 12 m in the canopy, Anthomyiidae, Chloropidae, Lonchaeidae, Milichiidae, Periscelididae and Syrphidae were most abundant. Numbers of Fanniidae and Muscidae were almost equal at all heights. The species diversity of Muscidae was represented in the traps by 10 well-recofnized species. The most abundant species was Phaonia pallida (70.7%). Two species Thricops simplex (12.2%) and Muscina pascuorum (5.8%) were less abundant. Thricops simplex showed the greatest confinement to the height of 1.5 m, while Phaonia pallida increased in abundance from lower to higher levels of the forest community. The vertical distribution of Muscina pascuorum did not depend on the height of the trap.

Here, we explored the diversity of Alpine braconid parasitoids in the Southern Central Alps. We recorded 18 species of braconids, 12 of which are from the subfamily Aphidiinae. In particular, we detected for the first time the alien parasitoid species Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson) in the Alps, providing information that could be considered to evaluate the invasiveness of this species. The second most diverse subfamily was Microgastrinae with two detected species, while one species was recorded from each of the subfamilies Alysiinae, Braconinae, Cheloninae and Euphorinae. Four braconid species from the subfamily Aphidiinae – Aphidius hieraciorum Starý, Aphidius schimitscheki (Starý), Harkeria angustivalvus (Starý) and Monoctonus crepidis (Haliday) – are new records to the fauna of Italy. This work contributes to the knowledge of braconid diversity in the Alps. Moreover, it can be a starting point both to explore complex tritrophic interactions potentially threatened by climate change and the role of early flowering Alpine plants on braconid diversity.

In this work, we collected new data on the jasmine lacebug Corythauma ayyari through a citizen-science approach. We reported for the first time its presence in three new Italian regions (Lombardy, Piedmont, and Marche), as well as in the hinterland areas of Israel, France, and Spain, up to over 220 km from the nearest coastal area. Through molecular analyses based on the mitochondrial gene of cytochrome oxidase I, we identified three new mitochondrial haplotypes in Italy, suggesting the possibility of recent introductions through plant trading. The increased distribution range towards the European hinterlands by C. ayyari needs to be monitored, as these introduced aliens are responsible for severe impacts on ornamental plants. Furthermore, improved controls in port areas should be recommended to prevent new invasions. We strongly recommend using multi-taxon, pan-continental platforms of citizen-science to collect data and keep the distribution of alien species updated.

In 2005, Torymus sinensis, a species-specific parasitoid of the ACGW, native to China, was released in Italy as a biological control agent. After more than ten years from the first T. sinensis release, ACGW only sporadically affects chestnut production. However, some areas of Tuscany such as Villore (Tuscany, Italy) still remain active ACGW hotspots and even though its distribution is much more jeopardized than in the past, several recurrent outbreaks have been recently reported. In the present work, we evaluated the possibility of storing leaf galls in the field, during the cold season, in order to protect T. sinensis immatures overwintering within them. In particular, the hypothesis was tested that above-ground storage of leaf galls could increase parasitoid survival in a Castanea sativa orchard near Villore (Tuscany, Italy). Results showed that T. sinensis survival in leaf galls stored above ground was higher than that recorded on galls stored on the ground, proving that this method was effective in protecting overwintering immatures from adverse environmental conditions. Our study provided chestnut growers with a new tool aimed at enhancing T. sinensis activity in C. sativa orchards.
