- The West Palearctic species of Rhoptromeris are revised. A total of 11 species are recognised as valid in this region, including four newly described species: Rhoptromeris dichromata sp. nov., Rhoptromeris koponeni sp. nov., Rhoptromeris leptocornis sp. nov. and Rhoptromeris macaronesiensis sp. nov. Eucoila luteicornis Ionescu, 1959 is synonymised with Rhoptromeris heptoma (Hartig, 1840) syn. nov. A checklist of the Holarctic Rhoptromeris is presented and an identification key to the West Palearctic species is provided.www.zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:8164332C-93E2-4E3F-A408-F5FF5DFB366E

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- We describe the work with donated insect collections at the Swedish Museum of NaturalHistory (NRM) in Stockholm, Sweden. The museum receives donations yearly fromamateur entomologists, and they are an important contribution to the enrichment of thecollections. For the collector it is satisfying that a public institution takes on the long termresponsibility of safeguarding the scientific value in a collection, curating and making itavailable for study. Significant donations in the last years include that of Lars Huggert(Hymenoptera, Coleoptera), Hans Bartsch (Diptera) and Anders N. Nilsson (aquatic Coleoptera)to name a few. The curatorial and digitizing workload at the Entomology collectionare unfortunately not matched by staff funding, and as at other European museumsvolunteer work constitute vital and invaluable help. We acknowledge especially some ofthe volunteer work in the Coleoptera and Hymenoptera collections. Recently we have engagedwith amateur entomologists by organizing taxon-specific workshops at the museumwhich has stimulated exchange and collaboration. The Hymenoptera-day was visited by 30participants, and the Diptera-meeting by 49. As an example of what happens with a donationonce it reaches the museum, we describe the work with a recent Coleoptera collectiondonation by Jan Olsson, Vallentuna. A few highlights from the unidentified material,including the Archostematan beetle Priacma serrata (Cupedidae) and the false jewelbeetleSchizopus laetus (Schizopodidae), are presented as they were new to the NRM collections.We also bring attention to two new websites: www.naturarv.se is the webportal presentingdigitized material in Swedish natural history collections. Both metadata on specimens andphotos are made searchable here. We also launch a new webpage at www.nrm.se/insektsdonationerwhere we write about new donations to the Entomology collections, with JanOlsson’s Coleoptera collection first out.

A Revision of Zaeucoila Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Figitidae), Parasitoids of Agromyzidae (Diptera): New Species, Identity, Distribution, and Hosts
- 2017

Ingår i: Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington. - : Entomological Society of Washington. - 0013-8797. ; 119:3, s. 317-397

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The eucoiline genus Zaeucoila Ashmead is revised. Following a re- evaluation combining previously published phylogenetic data and new specimens, Agrostocynips D ́ıaz is synonymized with Zaeucoila. All species included in Zaeucoila are systematically treated, and now amounts to twelve, seven of which are described as new here: Zaeucoila bitiburculata new species, Z. fidalgoii new species, Z. infuscata new species, Z. johnsonii new species, Z. lignys new species, Z. normae new species, Z. patera new species. The following new combinations are proposed and species redescribed: Zaeucoila grenadensis (Ashmead), new combination; Z. robusta (Ashmead), new combination; Z. flavipes (Ashmead), new combination. Agrostocynips diastrophi (Ashmead), Agrostocynips clavatus D ́ıaz, and Agrostocynips enneatoma (D ́ıaz) are new synonyms of Zaeucoila robusta. Zaeucoila incompleta (Kieffer), Z. triangu- lifera Kieffer, and Z. unicarinata Ashmead are redescribed. Zaeucoila is an unusual genus of Zaeucoilini in its wide distribution area: it can be found from southern Argentina well into the eastern United States and southern Canada; no other zaeucoiline genus shows such a pattern. Host records and geographic data for Zaeucoila are brought up to date, as well as a key to species. Zeucoila are primary parasitoids of Agromyzidae, including Liriomyza trifolii and other species that are notable economic pests of agriculture. Tropideucoila fulvonotata (Kieffer) is transferred to Marthiella (new combination).

Redescription of Ganaspis brasiliensis (Ihering, 1905), new combiantion, (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) a natural enemy of the invasive Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura, 1931) (Diptera: Drosophilidae)
- 2016

Ingår i: Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington. - : Entomological Society of Washington. - 0013-8797. ; 118:1, s. 1-13
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The new combination of Ganaspis brasiliensis (Ihering, 1905) is proposed, and the species is redescribed from historical specimens taken in the Neotropical Region as well as more recent specimens reared from Drosophila suzukii Matsumura, 1931 in South Korea. Drosophila suzukii, otherwise known as the spotted-wing Drosophila, is a major pest of soft fruits the world over, and the search for effective natural enemies of this fly are ongoing. Though not parasitoids of D. suzukii, we also propose the following new combinations: Dieucoila brasiliensis (Kieffer, 1909), new combination, and Dieucoila brasiliana (Weld, 1952), new combination. After summarizing all known species of Eucoilinae with the specific epithet ‘brasiliensis’, we encourage future researchers to avoid this name in order prevent nomenclatural confusion.

The description of Garudella Buffington and Forshage, new genus (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Eucoilinae)
- 2014

Ingår i: Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington. - : Entomological Society of Washington. - 0013-8797. ; 116:3, s. 225-242

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Garudella, a remarkable new genus of eucoiline wasp is described from Thailand, Laos, and the Republic of Congo. Four new species of Garudella are described as well: G. acothonaspis, G. afrotropica, G. algo, and G. alicae. Several autapomorphies distinguish this genus from other eucoiline genera: a distinctly protracted and broadened pronotal plate; a massive, posteriorly protruding prop- odeum; reduced posterior rim of metapleuron; reduced scutellar foveae and lack of lateral bar “windows”; and a generally reduced scutellar plate. In addition, the posterior of the head has a distinctly curved occipital impression, resulting in the cuticle surrounding the foramen magnum to be extruded into a neck-like process. The biology of Garudella is unknown, but based on phylogenetic inference from morphology, the presumed host could be a cyclorrhaphous Diptera in a saprophagous environment.

Checklist of British and Irish Hymenoptera - Cynipoidea.
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Biodiversity data journal. - 1314-2828. ; :5
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: The British and Irish checklist of Cynipoidea is revised, considerably updating the last complete checklist published in 1978. Disregarding uncertain identifications, 220 species are now known from Britain and Ireland, comprising 91 Cynipidae (including two established non-natives), 127 Figitidae and two Ibaliidae.NEW INFORMATION: One replacement name is proposed, Kleidotoma thomsoni Forshage, for the secondary homonym Kleidotoma tetratoma Thomson, 1861 (nec K. tetratoma (Hartig, 1841)).

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A brief history of entomology at the Swedish Museum of Natural History for the period 1915-1923 is presented in chronicle form. The time circumscription has its background in a recent 100th anniversary of the current museum building, for which there was work on an anniversary book, which has not appeared, and this is based on a contribution originally intended for that book. It concerns primarily the Entomology department (which ended as a unit in 2013 when it was part of a fusion into a Zoology department) but also includes the Entomological Society of Stockholm to the extent it has been based at the museum, as well as insect-related work in other museum departments. The chronicle gives plenty of examples of research and researchers, other staff and routines, collection growth and management, collecting expeditions and publications, work environment issues and everyday life at the department.

Description of the aberrant Leptopilina lasallei n. sp., with an updated phylogeny of Leptopilina Förster (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Eucoilinae)
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Journal of Natural History. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0022-2933 .- 1464-5262. ; 54, s. 565-583
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In the search for native Asian parasitoids of Drosophila suzukii, the notorious spotted-wing Drosophila (SWD), an odd new species of Eucoilinae was discovered. Leptopilina lasallei sp. nov. is herein described and diagnosed relative to other eucoilines associated with drosophilid hosts. Morphologically, L. lasallei is somewhat aberrant within Leptopilina; phylogenetically, L. lasallei is sister group to the core Leptopilina. In the process of investigating L. lasallei, a de novo molecular phylogeny of Leptopilina was generated and is included here. The integrated approach used for the characterisation of L. lasallei, and the resulting phylogeny of Leptopilina, produced data useful to select parasitoid species for SWD biological control.
