DOI: 10.3897/jhr.96.107489

Authors: Milo van Loon, Ahmed M. Soliman

Abstract: Anachrysis arabica sp. nov., a new chrysidid species from Saudi Arabia and Yemen, is described and illustrated. The new species represents the first record of the subfamily Amiseginae in the Arabian Peninsula. A key to species of the genus is provided. The phylogenetic position of Anachrysis within the subfamily is briefly discussed.

A new species and new records of cuckoo wasps from Pakistan and India (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae) https://jhr.pensoft.net/article/65439/ Journal of Hymenoptera Research 84: 283-294

DOI: 10.3897/jhr.84.65439

Authors: Paolo Rosa, Daniele Baiocchi, Marek Halada, Maxim Yu. Proshchalykin

Abstract: Chrysis arkadyi sp. nov. from India and Pakistan is herein described in the C. splendidula species group, and C. speculata du Buysson, 1896 is recorded for the first time from Pakistan. The Chrysis autocrata species group, established by Linsenmaier (1997), is synonymised with the C. succincta species group, and the C. serpentula species group, established by Tarbinsky (2002), is synonymised with the C. splendidula species group. C. autocrata Nurse, 1903 syn. nov. and C. ewridica Tarbinsky, 2001 syn. nov. are considered junior synonyms of C. variana du Buysson, 1901. A key to the seven species of the C. succincta species group so far known from Pakistan and India is provided.

Amiseginae and Cleptinae from northeastern Brazil, with the description of four new species (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae) https://jhr.pensoft.net/article/60048/ Journal of Hymenoptera Research 81: 57-85

DOI: 10.3897/jhr.81.60048

Authors: Daercio A.A. Lucena, Eduardo A.B. Almeida, Fernando C.V. Zanella

Abstract: The diversity of two subfamilies of cuckoo wasps in northeastern Brazil is reviewed. Four new species are described and illustrated: Amisega boyi Lucena, sp. nov., A. sertaneja Lucena, sp. nov., and Duckeia dudui Lucena, sp. nov. (Amiseginae), and Cleptidea nordestina Lucena, sp. nov. (Cleptinae). These new species of Amisega and Duckeia represent the first records of both genera in the core zone of the Caatinga dry region, and they seem to be endemic to this portion of the region. The other two Amisega species previously recorded in northeastern Brazil are restricted to ecotone habitats between Caatinga and Atlantic forest. Cleptidea nordestina Lucena, sp. nov. (Cleptinae) is the most septentrional record for the fasciata species group in South America. With the present contribution, the total recorded diversity of Amiseginae and Cleptinae in northeastern Brazil is represented by the following species: A. boyi Lucena, sp. nov., A. flavipes Kimsey, 1987, A. sertaneja Lucena, sp. nov., A. similis Kimsey, 1987, and D. dudui Lucena, sp. nov. (Amiseginae), and C. nordestina Lucena, sp. nov. (Cleptinae).

Description of a new chrysidid genus from New Caledonia (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae, Amiseginae) https://jhr.pensoft.net/article/1667/ Journal of Hymenoptera Research 38: 19-35

DOI: 10.3897/jhr.38.7416

Authors: Lynn Kimsey

Abstract: Generic placement of the amisegine species Atoposega decorata Kimsey, 1995, is reexamined and is moved to the new genus, Noumeasega. In addition, three new species, N. bicolorata, N. kaoriensis and N. neocaledonica, also from New Caledonia are described and placed in Noumeasega. Traits that distinguish Noumeasega from Atoposega Krombein, 1957 and Mahinda Krombein, 1983, are described, and a key to the species is provided along with distribution map and images. In addition, unlike Atoposega, males are associated with females in Noumeasega.

New species of egg parasites from the Oil Palm Stick Insect (Eurycantha insularis) in Papua New Guinea (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae, Phasmatodea, Phasmatidae) https://jhr.pensoft.net/article/1621/ Journal of Hymenoptera Research 30: 19-28

DOI: 10.3897/jhr.30.4010

Authors: Lynn Kimsey, Charles Dewhurst, Seno Nyaure

Abstract: Two new species of amisegine chrysidids, Cladobethylus insularis and Exova tunana, are described. Both species were reared from eggs of the stick insect, Eurycantha insularis Lucas (Phasmatidae), collected from infestations of oil palm pests in Papua New Guinea. This is the first host record for either genus.
