INSECT larvae , *WASPS , *INSECTS , *HYMENOPTERA , *SETAE , *INSECT eggs - Abstract
Insects have evolved complex sensory systems that are important for feeding, defence and reproduction. Parasitoid wasps often spend much time and effort in searching for concealed hosts with the help of specialized sensilla. However, the early evolution of such behaviour and sensilla is poorly known. We describe two fossil female wasps, †Tichostephanus kachinensis sp. nov. and †Tichostephanus longus sp. nov., from mid‐Cretaceous Kachin amber. Phylogenetic analyses based on morphological data retrieved †Tichostephanus as deeply nested within Evanioidea and closely related to extant Gasteruptiidae and Evaniidae. Both of these Cretaceous wasps possess features, e.g. coronal tubercles and flexible ovipositor sheaths, that indicate that they might have laid eggs in wood where their larvae possibly parasitized insect larvae. They have a peculiar and unique 'bottle brush' of sensilla close to the apex of their ovipositor sheaths, which has not been observed in any extant parasitoid wasps. These sensilla comprise many regularly arranged plate‐shaped setae, attached in relatively large sockets and with rows of longitudinal ridges. Such specialized sensilla perhaps served to enhance the ability to detect hosts inside wood. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Until now, the genus Robsonomyia was represented by two extant species: R. reducta Matile & Vockeroth, 1980 from North America and R. sciaraeformis (Okada, 1939) from Asia. This paper presents the first fossil members of the genus Robsonomyia, which is also the first record from Europe. Two new fossil species from Baltic amber are described: R. baltica Pełczyńska, Krzemiński & Blagoderov, sp. nov. and R. henningseni Pełczyńska, Krzemiński & Blagoderov, sp. nov.. The presence of fossil Robsonomyia spp. on the European continent suggests Holarctic distribution of the genus in the past. We also discuss possible pathways of its intercontinental dispersion.

- Abstract
Two new wasp species of Burmusculidae, Burmusculus abstrusus sp. nov. and Burmusculus primitivus sp. nov. are described from mid-Cretaceous amber of Myanmar. The new species are attributed to the family Burmusculidae and share the typical combination of diagnostic features of this family: forewing 2-M moderately short and distinctly angled with Rs+M and mesopleuron with no oblique sulcus. We observe variation in the presence/absence of plantulae on the tarsomeres of Burmusculus spp. and recommend that this character is included in species diagnoses in Burmusculidae. Tarsal plantulae are also observed in Pompilidae, the closest modern relatives of Burmusculidae.

- Abstract
Applying consistent terminology for morphological traits across different taxa is a highly pertinent task in the study of morphology and evolution. Different terminologies for the same traits can generate bias in phylogeny and prevent correct homology assessments. This situation is exacerbated in the male genitalia of Hymenoptera, and specifically in Ichneumonoidea, in which the terminology is not standardized and has not been fully aligned with the rest of Hymenoptera. In the current contribution, we review the terms used to describe the skeletal features of the male genitalia in Hymenoptera, and provide a list of authors associated with previously used terminology. We propose a unified terminology for the male genitalia that can be utilized across the order and a list of recommended terms. Further, we review and discuss the genital musculature for the superfamily Ichneumonoidea based on previous literature and novel observations and align the terms used for muscles across the literature.

- Abstract
Parasitoid wasps are the most successful group of insect parasitoids, comprising more than half the known diversity of Hymenoptera and probably most of the unknown diversity. This lifestyle has enabled them to be used as pest control agents conferring substantial economic benefits to global agriculture. Major lineages of parasitoid wasps include Ichneumonoidea, Ceraphronoidea, Proctotrupomorpha, and a number of aculeate families. The parasitoid lifestyle arose only once among basal Hymenoptera, in the common ancestor of the Orussidae and Apocrita some 200+ Ma ago. The ancestral parasitoid wasp was probably an idiobiont on wood-living beetle larvae. From this comparatively simple biology, Hymenoptera radiated into an incredible diversity of hosts and parasitoid lifestyles, including hyperparasitoidism, kleptoparasitoidism, egg parasitoidism, and polyembryony, in several instances co-opting viruses to subdue their hosts. Many lineages evolved beyond the parasitoid niche, becoming secondarily herbivorous or predatory nest provisioners and eventually giving rise to most instances of insect societies.

Fore wing hyaline, micro-pubescent, extending beyond metasoma (FwL = 2.74–3.78 mm); C, Sc+R, M+Cu, basal vein, marginal vein and r-rs pigmented; marginal vein shorter than its distance from basal vein; postmarginal vein barely longer than r-rs, pigmented on half length of radial cell; Rs nebulous proximally and pigmented distally from r-rs, projecting distally to postmarginal vein but fading before reaching wing margin; radial cell open. Hind wing hyaline, reduced and narrow (HwL =?– 2.39 mm). Legs slender, with hind femur and coxa enlarged, covered with scattered setae; tibial spur formula 1-2-2; tarsal claws simple. METASOMA.

Male Unknown. Comments Using Nixon’s (1957) key, Belyta knudhoejgaardi sp. nov. keys out to Belyta because of the following characters: macropterous, notauli present, mandibles of ordinary form, scutellum without a row of foveae along posterior margin, marginal vein shorter than its distance from basal vein, pronotum elongate, without a hollow on each side (= pronotal pits), epomia present, median keel of propodeum simple, petiole more than one and a half time as long as wide. The flattened body is generally accepted to diagnose Belyta spp. (Macek 1996) and is present in Belyta knudhoejgaardi, strengthening the placement of the species in Belyta. Following the key to European species of Belyta of Macek (1996), Belyta knudhoejgaardi sp. nov. keys out between B. subclausa Kieffer, 1916 and B. validicornis Thomson, 1858. It differs from the first by having a marked epomia and from the second by having the median propodeal keel simple (Macek 1996). The diagnostic character for Belyta knudhoejgaardi is the curiously marked longitudinal keel on the mesopleuron, which is absent in other species of Belyta. From the Eocene of Florissant is known B. mortuella Brues, 1910 (attributed to Belyta s. lat.), which differs from B. knudhoejgaardi by being shorter and having a less flattened body (Brues 1910)., Published as part of Brazidec, Manuel & Vilhelmsen, Lars, 2022, New species of belytine and diapriine wasps (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) from Eocene Baltic amber, pp. 57-86 in European Journal of Taxonomy 813 on pages 61-62, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.813.1733, http://zenodo.org/record/6468167, {"references":["Nixon G.

Petiole twice as long as wide (PtL = 0.27 mm; PtW = 0.12 mm), longitudinally striated, bearing long hairs dorsally; gaster globular, slightly longer than high (GL = 1.05 mm; GH = 0.67 mm), with sparse pubescence; S2 and T2 longest; four ring-like segments discernible beyond large tergite. Male BL = 3.50 mm; similar to female but antennae sexually dimorphic: scape shorter than head length (HeL = 0.53 mm), 5.5 times as long as wide, pedicel rounded, as long as wide, 12 flagellomeres elongate, cylindrical, longer than wide, F1 longest, with marked emargination on anterior third of segment, F2–F12 subequal in length, F12 tapering at apex (antennomeres length of male paratype, in mm: Sc- 0.38 mm; P-0.11; F1-0.25; F2-0.19; F3-0.19; F4-0.19; F5-0.18; F6-0.17; F7-0.16; F8-0.16; F9-0.16; F10-0.16; F11- 0.15; F12; 0.21).

Comments Using Nixon’s (1957) key, Pantoclis globosa sp. nov. keys out to Pantoclis because of the following characters: antennae inserted on a frontal prominence, mandibles not forming a beak or sickle-shaped, notauli present, scutellum without foveae along posterior margin, marginal vein nearly as long as its distance from basal vein and presence of ring-like segments beyond the large tergite, marginal vein shorter than radial cell, epomia distinct, median propodeal keel simple, petiole at most one and a third times as long as its apical width. Pantoclis globosa also fits in Pantoclis according to the diagnosis of Hou et al. (2016). It differs from most extant representatives of Pantoclis by having the marginal vein much longer than the r-rs (Nixon 1957; Sharma 1980; Buhl 1998). Pantoclis longiscapa Chambers, 1974 has a similar fore wing configuration but differs by having F1 very long and F2 distinctly longer than the following flagellomeres (Chambers 1974). Pantoclis deperdita Brues, 1906, from the Eocene of Florissant has a shorter radial cell and marginal vein (Brues 1906) and is therefore considered as a different species from P. globosa., Published as part of Brazidec, Manuel & Vilhelmsen, Lars, 2022, New species of belytine and diapriine wasps (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) from Eocene Baltic amber, pp. 57-86 in European Journal of Taxonomy 813 on pages 68-69, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2022.813.1733, http://zenodo.org/record/6468167, {"references":["Nixon G.

Pantolyta similis sp. nov. urn:lsid:zoobank.org:act: 1E2F7650-238A-4AC8-9900-38A6B9DFB59F Fig. 5D–E, Table 1 Diagnosis Head as high as long; eye small but functional; antennal shelf projecting forward and upward; antenna with homogeneous short setae; pedicel conical, with base narrower; F1 second longest; F2–F13 gradually widening; F13 longest and widest (Fig. 5D); epomia absent; median propodeal keel simple (Fig. 5E); fore wing not extending beyond petiole (brachypterous morph); petiole 1.3 times as long as wide; gaster fusiform, elongate; T2 and S2 covering anterior half of gaster; T2 with numerous fine and long striations medially at junction with petiole (Fig. 5D). Etymology The specific epithet refers to its similarity with the extant species Pantolyta macrocera (Thomson, 1858) and is to be treated as an adjective. Type material Holotype NHMD-608468, a complete female. Locality and horizon Baltic amber is considered to be of Bartonian–Priabonian age, ca 34–38 Ma. Description Female BODY. BL = 3.52 mm. Head glabrous, smooth, as high as long (HeL = 0.50 mm); eye round, small, less than a third of head length (ED = 0.18 mm); frontal prominence elongate; toruli facing upwards; antenna slightly but homogeneously pubescent; scape longer than head length; pedicel conical, thinner at base; F1 second longest; F2–F12 of subequal length, gradually widening; F12 as long as wide; F13 widest and longest, conical (antennomeres length, in mm: Sc- 0.58 mm; P-0.11; F1-0.17; F2-0.10; F3-0.10; F4- 0.11; F5-0.11; F6-0.11; F7-0.12; F8-0.11; F9-0.11; F10-0.11; F11-0.11; F12-0.12; F13-0.21); mandibles of ordinary form. MESOSOMA. Shorter than metasoma (MsL = 1.10 mm); pronotum not elongate, with straight posterior margin, epomia absent; mesoscutum convex, with notauli deep and complete; anterior scutellar pit large, rounded; scutellum sub-quadrate, without posterior scutellar pits; propodeum dorsally with prominent plicae, median keel simple. Fore wing very reduced, hardly reaching posterior margin of petiole (FwL = 1.04 mm). Hind wing reduced, shorter than fore wing (HwL = 0.52 mm). Legs slender, with only hind coxa widened; erect setae along hind tibia and tarsomere; tibial spur formula 1-2-2; tarsal claws simple. METASOMA. Petiole 1.3 times as long as wide (PtL = 0.28 mm; PtW = 0.22 mm), longitudinally ribbed; gaster fusiform and elongate (GL = 1.64 mm; GH = 0.59 mm); S2 and T2 longest, covering anterior half of gaster; T2 striated medially at junction with petiole; three ring-like segments visible posteriorly to large tergite; apical sternites fused into long, smooth triangle; ovipositor exerted, shorter than gaster (OL = 0.74 mm). Male Unknown Comments The specimen was originally identified as the extant species Pantolyta macrocera (Thomson, 1858) by Buhl (2002) because of the brachypterous morph. However, we can observe some differences on the petiole and gaster. Pantolyta similis sp. nov. displays numerous fine longitudinal ribs dorsally on the petiole whereas there are fewer ribs in P. macrocera. Additionally, P. macrocera has shorter and stronger medial striations on T2 than Pantolyla similis (Chemyreva & Kolyada 2021: fig. 11g). Among the Baltic amber species, it differs from other Pantolyta species as follows: P. antiqua and P. somnulenta are macropterous and have a shorter petiole; Pantolyta augustinusii sp. nov. has the epomia present, whereas it is absent in Pantolyta similis sp. nov.; Pantolyta chemyrevae sp. nov. has the epomia present, the anterior scutellar pit more quadrate, the petiole more elongate and the striations on T2 shorter; P. janzeni and P. perrichoti has a longer petiole, more than two times as long as wide.

Etymology The specific epithet is to be treated as an adjective and is composed of ‘ brevi- ’, meaning ‘short’, and ‘- scapus ’, a reference to the small size of the scape. Type material Holotype NHMD-300622, a complete male. Locality and horizon Baltic amber is considered to be of Bartonian–Priabonian age, ca 34–38 Ma. Description Male BODY. BL = 3.61 mm. Head with sparse long hairs (HeL = 0.47 mm); eye oval, glabrous; antennae inserted on transverse shelf; 14 antennomeres with uniform pilosity; scape elongate, less than five times as long as wide; pedicel rounded, as long as wide; flagellomeres elongate, cylindrical; F1 1.2 times as long as scape, with a deep emargination covering almost half of segment; F2–F6 slightly shorter, of subequal length; F6–F12 decreasing in size but still much more longer than wide; F12 tapering at apex (antennomeres length, in mm, when possible: Sc-0.32; P-0.06; F1-0.39; F2-0.34; F3-0.32); mandibles of ordinary form, not forming a beak. MESOSOMA. Shorter than metasoma (MsL = 1.21 mm); pronotum without epomia, only visible in lateral view; mesoscutum smooth; notauli deep, diverging at posterior terminations toward a point outside scutellum; anterior scutellar pit bean-shaped; scutellum without posterior scutellar pits; mesopleuron with epicnemial pit, epicnemial bridge and subalar bridge present; propodeum with prominent plicae; median propodeal keel simple. Fore wing hyaline, uniformly micropubescent (FwL= 3.58 mm); venation complete with C, Sc+R, basal vein, M+Cu, marginal vein, r-rs and Rs pigmented; marginal vein very long, longer than its distance from basal vein and as long as radial cell; postmarginal vein fading after middle of radial cell; Rs proximally directed toward base of wing; M inconspicuous towards apex; Cu short and nebulous; radial cell closed. Hind wing narrow, with C pigmented and basal cell opened (HwL = 2.23 mm). Legs slender, covered with setae; tibial spur formula 1-2-2; hind tibia and tarsomeres with long recumbent hairs. METASOMA. Petiole elongate, almost three times as long as its middle height (PtL = 0.56 mm; PtW = 0.19 mm), with longitudinal ribs; gaster globose, oval, smooth (GL = 1.37 mm; GH = 0.71 mm); six segments identifiable; T2 longest, covering two thirds of gaster; other tergites reduced, decreasing in length until they become indistinguishable; S2 longest, longer than T2; following sternites very short; pygidium and hypopygium at least as long as previous segments; genitalia internalized. Female Unknown. Comments Using Nixon’s (1957) key, Cinetus breviscapus sp. nov. keys out to Cinetus Jurine, 1807 because of the following characters: mandibles of ordinary form, scutellum without a row of foveae posteriorly, marginal vein very long, notauli slightly divergent posteriorly. Following Nixon’s (1957) key to male species of Cinetus, Cinetus breviscapus keys out near C. aletes Nixon, 1957 because of its scape that is shorter than F1 but differs in having the first flagellomere less distinctly longer than the scape (ratio scape length/F1 length: 1.2 vs 1.43; Nixon 1957), the petiole longer (three times as long as wide vs “about two and a half times as long as wide”) and being bigger (body length ca 3.6 mm vs ca 2.2 mm). In Baltic amber, Cinetus breviscapus sp. nov. is considered as separate from Cinetus inclusus Maneval, 1938 and Cinetus balticus Szabó & Oehlke, 1986 because it clearly does not fit with their descriptions. The petiole of C. balticus is longer than that of C. breviscapus (ratio length/middle height: 4 vs 2.8) and the fore wing venation is different (C. breviscapus has a longer marginal vein, a longer radial cell, the postmarginal vein does not extend beyond the radial cell and Rs is conspicuous for almost all its length). Cinetus inclusus has a shorter petiole (ratio length/middle height: 1.5) and the scape as long as pedicel, F1 and half of F2 combined, unlike C. breviscapus whose scape is shorter than flagellomere 1.

Etymology We dedicate this species to the Augustinus Foundation, who generously contributed to the funding for purchasing the amber pieces studied. The specific epithet is to be treated as a noun in genitive case. Type material Holotype NHMD-300829, a complete male; paratypes NHMD-608391, a complete male; NHMD- 608406, a complete male but partially hidden by a milky coat; NHMD-608412, a complete male; NHMD-608404, a complete male. Locality and horizon Baltic amber is considered to be of Bartonian–Priabonian age, ca 34–38 Ma. Description Male BODY. BL = 2.51–3.47 mm. Head subtriangular in frontal view (HeL = 0.39–0.48 mm); eye large, not pubescent; several hairs on frons; antennae inserted on distinct but not prominent shelf; toruli well developed, as long as one sixth of scape length from base to apex, separated by distinct cleft; antennae bearing numerous short setae; scape almost six times as long as wide; pedicel slightly longer than wide; flagellomeres elongate, cylindrical; F1 half of scape length, with an indistinct emargination basally; F2–F11 subequal in length; F12 longer and tapering at apex (antennomeres length of holotype, in mm: Sc-0.38; P-0.08; F1-0.21; F2-0.19; F3-0.19; F4-0.19; F5-0.19; F6-0.20; F7-0.19; F8-0.20; F9-0.21; F10- 0.21; F11-0.21; F12-0.23); mandibles short, not forming a beak. MESOSOMA. Shorter than metasoma (MsL = 0.90–1.29 mm); pronotum visible in dorsal view; epomia present as a simple keel; pronotal shoulders rounded; mesoscutum smooth, bearing long hairs; notauli deeply impressed, anteriorly converging towards scutellum, posteriorly parallel just before transscutal sulcus; anterior scutellar pit large, deep; scutellum without posterior scutellar pits; mesopleuron bare, mesopleural pit present; propodeum with median keel simple. Fore wing hyaline, extending far beyond metasoma (FwL = 2.60–3.54 mm), covered with micropubescence; C, Sc+R, M+Cu, basal vein and Cu pigmented; basal and costal cells closed; marginal vein slightly widened, about two thirds as long as its distance from basal vein and twice as long as r-rs; postmarginal vein pigmented, extending slightly beyond radial cell; radial cell closed; Rs tubular distally to r-rs, nebulous proximally; M inconspicuous towards apex. Legs slender, hind femur slightly thicker; tibial spur formula 1-2-2; tarsal claws simple. METASOMA. Petiole cylindrical, 2.4 times as long as its middle width (PtL = 0.27–0.37 mm; PtW = 0.11– 0.15 mm), with longitudinal ribs, long hairs laterally and ventrally; gaster fusiform (GL = 0.90–1.33 mm; GH = 0.42–0.58 mm), smooth; T2 longest, narrowing toward petiole; other segments much shorter. Female Unknown. Comments Using Nixon’s (1957) key to the genera of Belytinae, Pantolyta augustinusii sp. nov. keys out near Acropiesta Förster, 1856 because of the following characters: notauli present, second flagellomere not modified; scutellum without foveae; mandibles not forming a beak; marginal vein shorter than both radial cell and its distance from basal vein; pronotum with reduced epomia; large tergite markedly tapering towards petiole. Pantolyta augustinusii especially share with Acropiesta the antennal shelf prominent with toruli separated by a furrow, the 14-segmented antennae with F1 modified, the pronotal shoulders rounded, the notauli complete, the anterior scutellar pit large and quadrate, the propodeum with median keel simple, the fore wing venation with C, Sc+R, M+Cu, Rs, basal and marginal vein tubular, the petiole cylindrical (Macek 1998). However, due to their close similarities, Acropiesta has recently been synonymized under Pantolyta by Chemyreva & Kolyada (2021). Four other Pantolyta species are present in Baltic amber, two having been described under Acropiesta and not duly transferred by Chemyreva & Kolyada (2021): Pantolyta antiqua Buhl, 1999, Pantolyta janzeni (Buhl, 2002) comb. nov., Pantolyta perrichoti (Jouault & Nel, 2020) comb. nov. and Pantolyta somnulenta Maneval, 1938. Pantolyta antiqua has the marginal vein as long as its distance from basal vein whereas it is distinctly shorter in Pantolyta augustinusii (Buhl 1999); P. janzeni has a distinct emargination of F 1 in the male antenna, the marginal vein is shorter and the postmarginal vein is longer than in Pantolyta augustinusii (Buhl 2002); P. perrichoti has the median propodeal keel bifid (Jouault & Nel 2020) and P. somnulenta has the radial cell shorter than the marginal vein (Maneval 1938).

- Abstract
Three species of Myrmeleontidae are currently known from Denmark: Myrmeleon bore, Myrmeleon formicarius and Euroleon nostras. Despite their unique and interesting life history, the faunistics of antlions in Denmark are in need of an update. Here, we primarily use the collections from the Natural Museum of Denmark and the Natural History Museum Aarhus to document the species distribution and richness. The antlion specimens were databased according to the distribution data, and distribution maps were created for each species. The maps are compared to previous analyses of Danish antlion faunistics as well as available online sources. The occurrence of the species in neighbouring countries is also considered. Identification keys to both larvae and adults of the Danish species are provided. Interspecific competition could explain why some locations only contain one species. In Denmark, there seems to be a marked correlation between the occurrence of antlions and the presence of aeolian sand. Aeolian sand is an excellent substrate for the larval funnels and is probably the core habitat of the antlion species occurring in Denmark.

- Abstract
We present the first phylogenetic hypothesis for the cosmopolitan family Argidae based on both molecular and morphological data. Furthermore, we present a biogeographic scenario based on a dated phylogeny and interpret the evolutionary history of the family. Information from sequences of eight genes is analysed to reconstruct the phylogeny of the Argidae based on maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. Total evidence Bayesian analyses are also conducted, combining the molecular dataset with data from adult and larval morphology. For the historical biogeographic reconstruction, divergence times are estimated using node dating with uncorrelated relaxed-clock analysis, and ancestral biogeographical distributions are estimated applying a Dispersal Extinction Cladogenesis model and a Bayesian binary model. Argidae s.s. is retrieved as monophyletic in all analyses and the clade Zenargidae + (Argidae + Pergidae) is better supported when combining molecular and morphological characters, and when excluding the saturated third codon position in the molecular analysis. Within Argidae, two large clades corresponding to the subfamilies Arginae and Sterictiphorinae sensu Benson are retrieved as monophyletic. The ancestral distribution of Arginae and Sterictiphorinae is estimated to be the Australian and Neotropical regions. Divergence of Argidae-Pergidae and Arginae-Sterictiphorinae is estimated to occur in the middle-upper Jurassic before or during the east-west Gondwana breakup. Diversification of Argidae may be associated with the radiation of angiosperms in the Early Cretaceous, especially for the Neotropical Sterictiphorinae after the separation of South America and Africa. Arginae were probably introduced to the northern hemisphere by dispersal to Africa and/or India and subsequent continental collision with Eurasia in the Cenozoic. The occurrence of Sterictiphorinae in the northern hemisphere is more difficult to explain. Maternal care and brood guarding behaviour evolv

Myrmeleon formicarius(Linnaeus, 1767) The imago of M. formicarius is the largest neuropteran in Denmark with a forewing length of 35���40 mm (Figure 3 (a)). In addition to differing from M. bore in length, the wings are also wider, and M. formicarius can also be identified by its bright and broad spots on the pronotum (Figure 3 (b)), which are clearer and more distinct than those on M. bore (Nielsen, 2015). The dark brown larva has spots on the hind coxa and femora; it is the only antlion species in northern Europe with this trait. Furthermore, the larva is equipped with dolichasters between the base and first tooth of the mandibles. The ventral side of the head is pale, covered by several dark spots, and a pair of significantly larger spots. The larva has four-segmented labial palps. The distal half of the 8th abdominal sternite segment is similar to M. bore, being covered by only short, black spines and without setae. The 3rd instar of the larva is considerably larger than that of the other species in Denmark (Friheden 1973; Badano and Pantaleoni 2014; Nielsen 2015)., Published as part of Petersen, Nicholas H��sig, Nielsen, Ole Fogh & Vilhelmsen, Lars, 2022, Presence of populations of antlions (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae) in Denmark correlates with presence of aeolian sand, pp. 2831-2847 in Journal of Natural History 55 (45 - 46) on page 2837, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2022.2028029, http://zenodo.org/record/6127595, {"references":["Nielsen OF. 2015.

Myrmeleon bore(Tjeder, 1941) The imago of M. bore has a forewing length of 25���33 mm (Figure 3 (c)). The wings are narrower than those of M. formicarius, which M. bore is easily confused with. Just like M. formicarius, M. bore also has bright spots on the pronotum, however, they are less distinct and might be completely absent. Adult males of M. bore has a small club-like organ called the Eltringham���s organ at the posterior margin of the hindwings, which helps distributing pheromones (Figure 3 (d)) (Elofsson and L��fqvist 1974; Lipovsek Delakorda et al. 2009; Nielsen 2015; Zhang et al. 2015). The larva is greyish to pale brown, the ventral side of the head is pale and with a pair of dark spots. The labial palp is three-segmented, and the hind legs are without dark spots. The distal half of the 8th abdominal sternite segment is similar to M. formicarius, being covered by only short, black spines and without setae (Friheden 1973; Badano and Pantaleoni 2014)., Published as part of Petersen, Nicholas H��sig, Nielsen, Ole Fogh & Vilhelmsen, Lars, 2022, Presence of populations of antlions (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae) in Denmark correlates with presence of aeolian sand, pp. 2831-2847 in Journal of Natural History 55 (45 - 46) on pages 2837-2838, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2022.2028029, http://zenodo.org/record/6127595, {"references":["Elofsson R, Lofqvist J. 1974.

Euroleon nostras(Geoffroy in Fourcroy, 1785) The imago of E. nostras is of the same size as M. bore, with a forewing length of 25��� 33 mm. The presence of several dark spots on the wings of E. nostras makes it easily recognisable, as they are absent from the other Danish antlion species (Figures 1 (c) and 2). E. nostras is without bright spots on the dorsal side of prothorax, and neither the males nor females have Eltringham���s organ (Nielsen 2015). The larva is reddish brown, the ventral side of the head is pale and with several spots, a pair of elongated dark markings near the median, with another pair of dark spots beneath. The labial palp is four-segmented, and the hind legs are without dark spots. The distal half of the 8th abdominal sternite is covered by two types of structures ��� a few black spines and numerous bristles (Friheden 1973; Badano and Pantaleoni 2014)., Published as part of Petersen, Nicholas H��sig, Nielsen, Ole Fogh & Vilhelmsen, Lars, 2022, Presence of populations of antlions (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae) in Denmark correlates with presence of aeolian sand, pp. 2831-2847 in Journal of Natural History 55 (45 - 46) on page 2837, DOI: 10.1080/00222933.2022.2028029, http://zenodo.org/record/6127595, {"references":["Nielsen OF. 2015.

Lapsus calami. Material examined Lectotype (designated here, Fig. 3) CUBA ��� ♂; Monchicourt leg.; RMNH. INS.1283531. Additional material CUBA ��� 1 ♀ (lectotype of Agapostemon semiviridis Cresson, 1865, designated by Cresson 1916: 109); ANSP 2788 (Fig. 4) ��� 1 ♂ (lectotype of Agapostemon obscurata Cresson, 1869, designated by Cresson 1916: 108); ANSP 2790 (Fig. 5) ��� 1 ♂ (holotype of Agapostemon obscuratus var. abjectus Cockerell, 1917); Cabanas [Caba��as]; 28 May [no year provided]; Palmer and Riley leg.; USNM 22938 (Fig. 6). Notes The lectotype ♂ of Halictus cubensis Spinola, 1851 (designated by Engel 2004: 170), from Cuba, Havana, Spinola Collection, MSNT, was not examined as the synonymy was not questioned. Remarks The name and description of Andrena femoralis is attributed to Gu��rin-M��neville (1844a), though the name (i.e., Andrena femoralis Guer.), type locality (i.e., Cuba) and first illustration appear on plate 83, figure 1 (incorrectly recorded as plate 73 by Van der Vecht 1957) for Cuvier���s (1836) work published in 1837 (Cuvier 1837). These images were later duplicated in Gu��rin-M��neville (1844b) as ���Insect��s, Pl[ate]. 73, Figure 1 ���. Banks (1909) commented on the dates of Gu��rin-M��neville���s Iconographie du Regne Animali, indicating that the volume dedicated to insects (i.e., Gu��rin-M��neville 1844a) is dated 1829���1838 with many references to other dates within the text, including 1844, the year most researchers have used in citing this work (e.g., Roberts 1972; Michener 2000, 2007, though Moure (1960) indicated 1845). However, as Cuvier���s original plates were published in 1837 (Cuvier 1837), Banks (1909) felt that those of the opinion ���that a named figure is valid without [accompanying] text must credit such names��� with the dates of the plate publication. However, Cowan (1971) more recently reviewed the issue of Gu��rin-M��neville���s works and concluded that the date relevant to the insects is 1844, and this decision is followed here. Van der Vecht (1957) examined material that he assumed was part of the type material for Ag. femoralis at the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, Leiden (now Naturalis Biodiversity Center, Leiden), though he also indicated the possibility of syntypes existing at other institutions; other specimens with the same collection information exist at Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Thus, to stabilize Ag. femoralis as the valid name of this Cuban taxon, the specimen Van der Vecht (1957) provided details on (i.e., fig. 3) is hereby selected as the lectotype. Incidentally, Ag. femoralis is the type species for the genus Agapostemon (Sandhouse 1936, 1943; Michener 1997). Dalla Torre (1896) was the first to treat Ag. femoralis as a synonym of Ag. viridulus (later followed by Friese 1902), though the assumption that the type material of Ag. viridulus was collected in Cuba was baseless. The female type material of Halictus cubensis Spinola was not an Agapostemon, but rather Augochlora regina Smith, 1853 (Augochlorini) (Engel 2004), so Engel (2004) designated the male as a lectotype, and placed it into synonymy with Ag. femoralis. However, as a result of this designation, Ag. cubensis Roberts became a junior secondary homonym of Ag. cubensis (Spinola), thus requiring the replacement name provided below. Though Roberts (1972) records the synonymy of Ag. semiviridis Cresson under Ag. viridulus as new, Baker (1906) had already treated it as a synonym. When described, Cresson (1865) indicated that it was potentially the female of Ag. viridulus., Published as part of Sheffield, Cory S., Vilhelmsen, Lars & Bakker, Frederique, 2021, Taxonomy of the New World bee genus Agapostemon Gu��rin-M��neville - new names and synonymies (Hymenoptera: Halictidae), pp. 1-23 in European Journal of Taxonomy 751 (1) on pages 9-15, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.751.1375, http://zenodo.org/record/4792347, {"references":["Guerin-Meneville F.
