A closer look inside the hollow stalks for uninvited guests: Parasitoids of nesting bees (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) in Iran
The reed stalks, Phragmites spp. are widely used for biological and ecological studies of nesting aculeate Hymenoptera, as well as in the construction of artificial nests or insect hotels for their conservation. During our studies in northern Iran, which involved the use of reed stalks and various other plants stems, we reared five chalcidoid wasps from three families Chalcididae, Eulophidae and Leucospidae. Among these, two new species were described Neochalcis hyrcanicus Lotfalizadeh, sp. nov (Chalcididae) associated with Megachile sp. (Megachilidae), and Baryscapus caspicus Lotfalizadeh & Jafarlu, sp. nov. (Eulophidae) associated with Vespidae. Additionally, a novel association between Leucospis bifasciata Klug, 1812 and O. caerulescens was documented for the first time. Illustrations and diagnostic characteristics of the parasitoids are provided.
期刊介绍:
Zoologischer Anzeiger - A Journal of Comparative Zoology is devoted to comparative zoology with a special emphasis on morphology, systematics, biogeography, and evolutionary biology targeting all metazoans, both modern and extinct. We also consider taxonomic submissions addressing a broader systematic and/or evolutionary context. The overall aim of the journal is to contribute to our understanding of the organismic world from an evolutionary perspective.
The journal Zoologischer Anzeiger invites suggestions for special issues. Interested parties may contact one of the editors.
