“…Hitherto, forty-six species of Celonites have been recorded in the Palaearctic region (Carpenter 2001;Gusenleitner 2002Gusenleitner , 2007Gusenleitner , 2012Mauss 2013), but detailed bionomical information has been published only for Celonites abbreviatus (Villers, 1789). Studies on this species refer to mating (Mauss 2006), nesting behaviour (Lichtenstein 1869;Ferton 1901Ferton , 1910Bellmann 1984Bellmann , 1995, flower association and flower visiting behaviour (Bequaert 1940;Schremmer 1959;Blüthgen 1961;Bellmann 1995;Müller 1996;Mauss 2006) and male sleeping aggregations (Amiet and Mauss 2003).…”

Celonites fischeri was recorded from ten localities in various open, disturbed habitats in North-West Cyprus. The species is probably narrowly oligolectic exploiting exclusively flowers of Echium (Boraginaceae) as the sole pollen and nectar source. Females perform a pollen collecting strategy hitherto unknown in pollen wasps; they ingest pollen from fresh anthers of Echium flowers that have just started to open by forcing their head into the only slightly opened corolla. Males patrol along Echium plants in search for females. Mating was mainly observed at Echium flowers but also occurred in the area of a male sleeping aggregation. The aerial nest, consisting of 2-5 earthen cells sometimes covered with an additional thin layer of earth, is attached to stones or plants. Nest building and soil collection behaviour are described and an ethogram of a nesting female observed during three consecutive days is given. Males form sleeping aggregations at particular sites that are continuously used over at least eleven consecutive nights, even though the size of the male groups may vary from day to day. During sleeping, the males characteristically curl their bodies around withered stems.

“…The Stenogastrinae, or hover wasps, represent a taxon of 58 described species in seven genera inhabiting the forests of South-East Asia (Turillazzi 1991;Carpenter & Kojima 1996). They have small colonies (maximum 10 females) in which recognition, up to the individual level, might be useful for social organization.…”

Facial markings in the hover wasps: quality signals and familiar recognition cues in two species of Stenogastrinae

et al. 2013

Keywords:animal communication badge of status conventional signal dominance hierarchy hover wasp Liostenogaster flavolineata Liostenogaster vechti quality signal recognition system social behaviour Both recognition and conventional signals are widespread in the animal kingdom. Chemical communication plays a major role in invertebrates, and especially in social insects. In the last decade, observational and experimental evidence has shown the existence of visual quality signals and individual recognition cues in Polistes paper wasps, meaning that visual communication might also be common in insect societies. Here we show that two species of facultatively eusocial hover wasps (Vespidae, Stenogastrinae) use the visual channel for social communication. By combining morphoanatomical measurements and behavioural assays, we found that the size of the dark facial markings was related to reproductive status and dominance in colonies of Liostenogaster vechti, thus representing a badge of status. By contrast, no correlation between facial coloration and reproductive status was found in Liostenogaster flavolineata, which instead used facial markings as familiar visual recognition cues. Our results reveal that visual communication in social insects might be more widespread than previously thought and has evolved independently in distinct wasp taxa facing similar selection pressures.

ZooKeys 15: 1-78. doi: 10.3897/zookeys.15.196 Abstract Th e fi rst checklist to the 225 genera and 1169 reported species-group taxa of aculeate wasps of Peru is presented. Th e list is based on a literature survey and examination of Peruvian entomological collections and include locality references for each taxon. Bibliographic references for the identifi cation of families, genera, and species are provided when available. Th e occurrence data are published in addition as downloadable fi les (doi: 10.3897/zookeys. 15.196.app.2.ds, doi: 10.3897/zookeys.15.196.app.3.ds, and doi: 10.3897/zookeys.15.196.app.4.ds) and were uploaded onto GBIF infrastructure simultaneously with the publication process.
