Braconid and ichneumonid (Hymenoptera) parasitoid wasps of Lepidoptera from the Maltese Islands
Fourteen species of Ichneumonidae are here recorded from the Maltese Islands. Of these, all were reared from Lepidoptera hosts with the exception of Netelia (Paropheltes) inedita (Kokujev) which was collected from a malaise trap. Of these, the following species (or genera) are here reported for the first time from the...Mifsud, David ; Farrugia, Lucia ; Shaw, Mark R

Two examples of anterior / posterior gynandromorphism in Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera)
Two specimens of Ichneumonidae exhibiting interior/posterior gynandromorphism are described. In both the specimens of Ephialtes manifestator (L.) (Ichneumonidae: Pimplinae) and Cylloceria sylvestris (Gravenhorst) (Ichneumonidae: Cylloceriinae), the head is female (as is the mesosoma of E. manifestator) and the metasoma is male. A potential mechanism for generation of transverse (anterior/posterior) gynandromorphs...Shaw, Mark R ; Broad, Gavin R

Notes on the biology, morphology and generic placement of “Hellwigia” obscura Gravenhorst (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae, Ophioninae)
The ophionine ichneumonid known as Hellwigia obscura has been reared for the first time, from larvae of Horisme sp. (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) feeding on Clematis vitalba in The Netherlands. The cocoon and the parasitoid’s means of emergence are figured, as are some features of the adult. On a balance of morphological...Shaw, Mark R ; Voogd, Jeroen

Overwintering behaviour of Diphyus quadripunctorius (Müller) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae, Ichneumoninae) in south-east Scotland
Overwintering behaviour of adult females of the ichneumonid Diphyus quadripunctorius (Müller) in caves and mines in south east Scotland was monitored over two successive winters. This is a univoltine larva-pupal parasitoid of certain Noctua species, parasitizing their larvae in spring. The species was found in rather few of the sites...Baird, Katty ; Shaw, Mark R

A second British specimen of Coleocentrus Excivator (Poda) (Hymenoptera:Ichneumonidae, Acaenitinae) from Scotland
A second British specimen of the spectacular ichneumonid. Coleocentrus Excivator is recorded from Tomich, Inverness-shire, some 80 km NNW from the site at which the first was found 34 years previously. The species is illustrated and notes are given to facilitate identification. Some indications of host and biology are tentatively...Shaw, Mark R ; Lyszkowski, Richard M
