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

Lestricus secalis (Linnaeus, 1758) (Hymenoptera, Braconidae): a species new to Spain parasitizing the Iberian endemic Pogonocherus sturanii (Sama & Schurmann, 1982) (Coleoptera, Cerambycidae)
The cenocoeliine braconid Lestricus secalis (Linnaeus) is recorded for the first time in Spain, being the southernmost known locality in the species’ distribution. Two specimens emerged from branches of Pinus nigra ssp. salzmannii in which the Iberian endemic cerambycid Pogonocherus sturanii was developing, in Sierra Mágina (southern Spain). Illustrated notes...Obregón, R ; Shaw, Mark R

A rearing record of Homolobus (Phylacter) meridionalis van Achterberg (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Homolobinae) in the south of France
Homolobus (Phylacter) meridionalis is recorded parasitizing the noctuid Dryobota labecula (Esper, 1788) feeding in spring on Quercus in southern France. The adult parasitoid emerged in the autumn; evidence is presented to suggest that it is a bivoltine species, likely to parasitize low-feeding noctuids in its overwintering generation. Notes to separate...Shaw, Mark R

A new Australian genus and five new species of Rogadinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), one reared as a gregarious endoparasitoid of an unidentified limacodid (Lepidoptera)
Teresirogas Quicke & Shaw gen. nov. (type species T. australicolorus Quicke & Shaw sp. nov.) is described and illustrated, based on a series recently reared gregariously from a cocooned mummy of an unidentified species of Limacodidae collected under loose Eucalyptus bark in New South Wales, Australia. Older reared and unreared...Quicke, Donald L J ; Shaw, Mark R ; Van Achterberg, Cornelis ; Bland, K P ; Butcher, Buntika A …
