A new subgenus of the genus Colastes Haliday (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) for species reared from bracket fungi, with description of two new species from Europe
A new Holarctic subgenus (Fungivenator subgen. nov.) of the genus Colastes Haliday, 1833 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Exothecinae) is proposed for a group of species that, as far as is known, has its larvae living on hosts in bracket fungi. The type species (Colastes sandei sp. nov. from Netherlands, Germany and England)...Achterberg, C van ; Shaw, Mark R

Polemochartus melas (Giraud) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Alysiinae) new to Britain
The small Palaearctic genus Polemochartus is well-known to be exclusively parasitic upon chloropid flies of the genus Lipara, which cause galls on Phragmites, ovipositing into the host's egg and killing it at the puparium stage. Hitherto, the only one of the four European species that has been found in Britain,...Shaw, Mark R ; Jennings, M T

The first known parasitoid of Aricia morronensis (Ribbe, 1910), an endemic Iberian species, and notes on the parasitoids (Hymenoptera and Diptera) of the genus Aricia Rechenbach, 1817 in Europe
A parasitoid (Cotesia tenebrosa WESMAEL, 1837, Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Microgastrinae) of Aricia morronensis (RIBBE, 1910), a species endemic to the Iberian peninsula, is recorded for the first time. Incidental details, and photos of the parasitoid-host interaction are also given. Information on the parasitoids recorded from the European species of the genus...Shaw, Mark R ; Gil-T, Felipe

Suspended mummies in Aleiodes species (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Rogadinae) with descriptions of six new species from western Uganda based largely on DNA sequence data
A group of species of the rogadine braconid genus Aleiodes are shown to produce a distinctive mummy, which is “J”-shaped and is formed after the host larva, in all cases an ennomine geometrid moth, has dropped from a plant suspended in midair by a silk thread. The group includes one...Quicke, D L J ; Mori, M ; Zaldivar-Riveron, A ; Laurenne, N M ; Shaw, Mark R

Parasitoid assemblages reared from geometrid defoliators (lepidoptera: geometridae) of larch and fir in the alps
1 Geometrid larvae were collected from larch and fir in the Swiss Alps in 1991–94. Eight geometrid species were found in sufficient numbers to rear out parasitoids: Agriopis aurantiaria, Bupalus piniarius, Epirrita autumnata, Eupithecia lariciata, Odontopera bidentata, Lycia isabellae and Semiothisa liturata were collected from larch, and Puengeleria capreolaria was obtained...Kenis, M. ; West, R.

First host records for the rogadine genera Rogasodes Chen & He and Canalirogas van Achterberg & Chen (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) with description of a new species and survey of mummy types within Rogadinae s. str
The parasitic wasp genus Rogasodes is recorded for the first time outside mainland China, based on a new species, R. scytaloptericola Quicke and Shaw sp. nov., from Java. Rearing data and host remains associated with the type specimen show that it is a parasitoid of the palm-feeding drepanid moth, Scytalopteryx...Quicke, D. L. J. ; Shaw, Mark R
