Western Palaearctic Meteorinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) in the National Museums of Scotland, with rearing, phenological and distributional data, including six species new to Britain, and a discussion of a potential route to speciation.
Distributional, phenological and in many cases rearing data are given for 44 species of western Palaearctic Meteorinae in the genera Meteorus and Zele, from the nearly 2,500 specimens of the group present in the collection of the National Museums of Scotland, Edinburgh. Six species are newly recorded from Britain. Patterns...Stigenberg, Julia ; Shaw, Mark R

A new species of Macrostomion Szepligeti (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Rogadinae) from Papua New Guinea, with notes on the biology of the genus
Macrostomion gnathothlibi spec. nov. is described from a series reared gregariously from a larva of the sphingid moth Gnathothlibus eratus eras (Boisduval) collected in Papua New Guinea. Dedanima Cameron, 1903, is synonymised with Macrostomion Szépligeti, 1900. A further four gregarious broods of Macrostomion are noted, three certainly and one probably...Shaw, Mark R

A new species of Nepenthosyrphus De Meijere (Diptera: Syrphidae)
A new species of Nepenthosyrphus De Meijere, 1932 (Diptera: Syrphidae), reared from flasks of pitcher plants (Nepenthaceae) is described from Indonesia. It is closely related to the Nepenthosyrphus oudemansi de Meijere, 1932 but can be distinguished, in both sexes, by the colour pattern of the abdomen and additionally in the...Rotheray, Graham E ; Hancock, E Geoffrey ; Thornham, D G

A novel host of Itoplectis viduata (Gravenhorst) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae, Pimplinae), with some wider rearing records
The apparently regular use of cocoons of a species of Pompilidae, Homonotus sanguinolentus, by the ichneumonid parasitoid Itoplectis viduata at a site in Russia is reported, and seen in the context of the host range of I. viduata as revealed by reared material in the National Museums of Scotland (NMS).Shaw, Mark R ; Borisova, Natalia

Rediscovery of Earinus transversus Lyle (Hymenoptera:Braconidae:Agathidinae), a parasitoid of Trichopteryx polycommata (Denis and Schiffermuller) (Lepidoptera:Geometridae:Larentiinae)
Recent rearings of Earinus transversus Lyle (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Agathidinae), a probably host-specific parasitoid of the threatened moth Trichopteryx polycommata (Lepidoptera: Geometridae), are reported from Britain. This braconid wasp should be seen as an important conservation target as it had not been recorded anywhere in the world since being described from...Shaw, Mark R

The biology and early stages of Acampsis alternipes (Nees), with comments on the relationships of the Sigalphinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
Details of the biology of the braconid subfamily Sigalphinae, based on rearings of Acampsis alternipes (Nees), are provided for the first time. A. alternipes is a solitary, koinobiont larval endoparasitoid of the geometrid moth Alsophila Hübner, though there is an external feeding phase prior to spinning a cocoon and pupation....Shaw, Mark R ; Quicke, D L J

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.... -

Potential occurrence of the long-tailed Skua subspecies Stercorarius longicaudus pallescens in Scotland
Two Long-tailed Skuas Stercorarius longicaudus reported in Scotland, an adult male collected at Sule Skerry, Orkney in June 1908, and an adult observed at East Burra, Shetland over four summers during 2009-2012, showed features suggesting the east Siberian and Nearctic subspecies S.

Shunga in the Meiji era: the end of a tradition
This article examines the final period of shunga, customarily defined as erotic imagery produced by the woodblock-printing technique. It takes up artists who continued the earliest traditions of shunga (such as Kawanabe Kyosai and Tsukioka Yoshitishi) and those who developed new modes (among them, Tomioka Eisen). The new Meiji administration...Buckland, Rosina

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
