A review of the genus Artocella van Achterberg (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Rogadinae) with description of a new species from Spain
A new species of the genus Artocella van Achterberg is described from Spain. On the basis of its substantial sexual dimorphisim, the differences between the two previously known species of this Turanian-Mediterranean genus, which had each been described from specimens of only one (and differing) sex, are reassessed.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

Insects and spiders on snowfields in the Cairngorms, Scotland
An account is given of seven collections of insects and spiders made in summer 1979 on snowfields above 1100m elevation in the Cairngorm mountains, Scotland. In one comprehensive collection 278 recently deposited animals representing 35 species were obtained in 25 m2; the other collections were selective. A high proportion of...Ashmole, N P ; Nelson, J M ; Shaw, Mark R ; Garside, A

The species of four genera of Metopiinae (Hymenoptera:Ichneumonidae) in Britain, with new host records and descriptions of four new species
Two genera of Metopiinae are recorded for the first time from the British Isles, Ischyrocnemis Holmgren and Synosis Townes. An account is also given of a further two genera, Apolophus Townes and Stethoncus Townes, that have been recently recorded from Britain but remain little known. Apolophus and Synosis are shown...Broad, G R ; Shaw, Mark R

Lestricus secalis (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Cenocoeliina), a genus and species new to Britain
Lestricus secalis (L.) was inadvertently listed as British on the basis of an old speculation but, as there was neither firm evidence nor the existence of any specimen, it was deleted from the British list by Shaw & Huddleston (1991). However, it was suggested by Shaw (1999) that the species...Shaw, Mark R ; Mendel, Howard

First host records for the rogadine genus Conspinaria (Hymenoptera:Braconidae)and notes on Rogadinae as parasitoids of Zygaenidae (Lepidoptera)
The parasitic wasp genus Conspinaria is recorded as parasitizing two species of chalcosiine zygaenid moths, Chalcosia thaivana owadai Wang and Erasmia pulchella hobsoni Butler in Taiwan. Parasitism of Zygaenidae and of Limacodidae by rogadine braconids is discussed in the light of possible phylogenetic relationships.Quicke, D L J ; Yen, Shen-Horn ; Mori, M ; Shaw, Mark R

Reproductive variability in Pediobius alcaeus (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), a parasitoid of Phyllonorycter (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae)
Separate, but sympatric, sexual and asexual populations of Pediobius alcaceus ( Walker) (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), a parasitoid of leaf-mining Phyllonoryter species (Lepidoptera: Gracillariidae), are shown to exist and to be associated with hosts on a different tree species in BritainShaw, Mark R ; Askew, R R

Rearing Parasitic Hymenoptera
This booklet provides information on the parasitic Hymenoptera which enable successful studies to be made of this little understood group of the British insect fauna. Details are given on the general biology of parasitic wasps, rearing principles, efficient rearing practices and detailed methods of dealing with adult wasps.Shaw, Mark R

Relations among assemblage size, host specialization and climatic variability in North American parasitoid communities
We classified the parasitoids attacking 628 species of North American herbivorous insects as idiobionts (those that permanently disable their host during attack) or koinobionts (those that permit continued host development following parasitization). Using these physiological attributes of parasitoids as estimators of host range, we tested three hypotheses that might explain...Hawkins, B A ; Shaw, Mark R ; Askew, R R

Host ranges of parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae and Ichneumonidae) reared from Epermenia chaerophyllella (Goeze) (Lepidoptera: Epermeniidae) in Britain, with description of a new species of Triclistus (Ichneumonidae)
The complex of parasitoids attacking larval stages of Epermenia chaerophyllella in Britain is outlined, and the host range of each of the species recorded (three braconids and four ichneumonids) is discussed. `Ecological' factors, such as the behavioural similarity of unrelated hosts during the vulnerable parts of their life histories, seem...Shaw, Mark R ; Aeschlimann, J - P

The taxonomy and biology of Diadegma chrysostictos (Gmelin) and Diadegma fabricianae sp. n. (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)
A combination of morphological and biological evidence is used to separate two species of Ichneumonidae parasitizing Lepidoptera: Diadegma chrysostictos (Gmelin), a parasitoid of phycitine and galleriine Pyralidae, and Diadegma fabricianae sp.n. which parasitizes the choreutid Anthophila fabriciana (Linnaeus). An inbred laboratory culture of D.chrysostictos was found to be atypical with...Horstmann, K ; Shaw, Mark R

Two hundred and twenty-five species of reared western Palaearctic Campopleginae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)in the National Museums of Scotland, with descriptions of new species of Campoplex and Diadegama, and records of fifty-five species new to Britain
Host and in some cases detailed rearing data are presented for 225 species of western Palaearctic Campopleginae from reared material in the National Museums of Scotland, with comments on phenology of all species and particular attention to their means of overwintering. For many species there were previously no host records....
