Eleven species have been recorded previously in Mexico. Three new records are reported here: E. santacruzensis Luhman, 1990, E. subclavatus (Say, 1835), and E. tyloidiphorus Luhman, 1990. Currently 14 species of Endasys are known in Mexico.

Junco Reyes, entomólogo que desarrollo su producción científica entre los años 1941 y 1965. La colección consta de unos 4000 himenópteros pertenecientes a diversas familias entre las que cabe destacar los Pompilidae, grupo al que dedicó la mayor parte de sus estudios y que cuenta con más de 1000 ejemplares determinados. Entre el material de la colección también se encuentran 440 ejemplares de Ichneumonidae en diferentes condiciones de conservación. En la presente comunicación se ofrecen en una primera fase, los resultados obtenidos en la determinación del material perteneciente a las subfamilias Anomaloninae, Banchinae, Diplazontinae, Ichneumoninae, Metopiinae, Ophioninae y Pimplinae. En total se relacionan 69 epecies, con datos del etiquetado y estado de conservación.

Differences and similarities between both West-Palaearctic species, P. algerica and P. pygidiator, were checked by mean of morphometric survey and multivariate analysis. The morphometric results showed no differences between both species, and as a consequence they were synonymized. A key for the world species of Pseudopimpla is provided. A new host, Hartigia nigra (Harris) (Hymenoptera, Cephidae) and two new host food plants (Rosa sp and Rubus ulmifolius Schott) are reported for P. algerica. Pseudopimpla is recorded for the first time from the Iberian Peninsula and Serbia.

New data about distribution and variation of several species are reported. Oxytorus peruvianus Alvarado, Bordera, and Rodríguez-Berrío, 2011 is reported for the first time from Brazil and Ecuador, and O. alfredi Gauld and Mallet, 2000 from Guatemala, Mexico, and Trinidad and Tobago. An illustrated key to the New World species of Oxytorus is provided.

Five species, C. aenigmatica, C. arizonica, C. juliana, C. maya, and C. oaxacana, are described as new. Clistopyga covarrubiasi Khalaim and Hernández, 2008 is synonymysed with C. recurva (Say, 1835) and C. sauberi Brauns, 1898 is once again re-synonymysed with C. canadensis Provancher, 1880. Data on diagnosis, variation, distribution, and hosts of all species are provided. All previously known species are re-described. The present revision extends the distributional range of the Neotropical species C. calixtoi Gauld, 1991, C. fernandezi Gauld, 1991, and C. henryi Gauld, Ugalde, and Hanson, 1998 to the southern part of the Nearctic Region (northern Mexico), and the area of the Nearctic species C. manni Cushman, 1922 to the northern part of t...

Therefore, the aim of this work was to assess whether and how vegetation types, land management and seasonality influence the diversity of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera) in the Ría Lagartos Biosphere Reserve (Mexico). A sampling programme was conducted using Malaise traps from 2008 to 2009 in three vegetation types, each with two conservation zones (core and buffer zones). Three seasons were considered: rainy, dry and north-winds (isolated storms from November to February). A total of 336 species were identified. Rarefaction and Generalized Linear Model indicated higher species richness and abundance, respectively, in the buffer zone of the dry forest; possible explanations for this finding include the intermediate disturbance hypothesis, wherein diversity can be higher in sites where disturbance is not very frequent or very intense, and the ‘enemies hypothesis’, wherein structural complexity and high...

Diversity was higher during the rainy season, which may have been due to the higher availability of resources. Vegetation and management had a positive impact on the Coc (attack cocoons and pupae) and Myc (attack concealed larvae living in the fruiting bodies of mushrooms) parasitoid guilds. Members of the Coc guild are generalist parasitoids, which may be favoured in complex vegetation with a high richness of potential hosts and non-hosts. The Myc guild requires certain environmental conditions that promote fungal growth, such as humidity, that is absent in the other vegetation types of savannah and coastal dune scrubland.
