“…Ancistrocerus antilope is a solitary, predatory vespid wasp, an abundant holarctic species belonging to the subfamily Eumeninae (Krombein, 1967;Carpenter & Cumming, 1985 in tunnels in wood that approximate their size in diameter (7-10 mm). Cowan (1978) has demonstrated that females of A. antilope will accept simple blocks of wood with holes drilled into them as nesting sites (trap nests).…”

Extremely high levels of inbreeding in a natural population of the free-living wasp Ancistrocerus antilope (Hymenoptera: Vespidae: Eumeninae)

An isozyme study was conducted on a natural population of the solitary trap-nesting eumenid wasp, Ancistrocerus antilope (Panzer). The inbreeding coefficient was estimated to be 0.757 over seven loci from 322 diploid individuals collected from 108 trap nests. This inbreeding coefficient corresponds to a mixed-mating system with 91.3 per cent of matings occurring between brothers and sisters and the remaining matings occurring randomly. This is the highest inbreeding coefficient yet reported for a free-living Hymenopteran species. If such a high inbreeding level was present in the common ancestor of the Eumeninae and Vespinae, it may have facilitated the evolution of eusociality among the Vespinae.

The genus Tropidodynerus Blüthgen is newly recorded from China and two new species of the genus are described and illustrated, namely Tropidodynerus (Tropidodynerus) liupanshanensis sp. n. from Ningxia, China and T. (T.) concavus sp. n. from Hebei, China. In addition, a key to all known species of the subgenus Tropidodynerus is updated. Type specimens of these two new species are deposited in Hebei University and Chongqing Normal University.

Two new species from Yunnan, China are described and illustrated, namely Subancistrocerus compressus and Subancistrocerus jinghongensis. In addition, S. camicrus (Cameron) and S. sichelii (de Saussure) are newly recorded from China. A key to the Chinese species of Subancistrocerus is provided. Type specimens of the new species are deposited in Chongqing Normal University and Yunnan Agricultural University.
