“…The species has not previously been recorded for Switzerland (Klopfstein et al 2019c). However, the current records suggest that the distribution covers the entire Palaearctic: Austria, Belarus, France, Georgia, Germany, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Moldova, Mongolia, Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Russia, Spain, Ukraine and United Kingdom (Horstmann 2011;Di Giovanni et al 2015;Yu et al 2016).

In the present time of biodiversity crisis, assessing species diversity by accurate and accessible taxonomic revisions is more crucial than ever. Parasitoid wasps are considered as both one of the most diverse and under-studied groups in the tree of life. Dusona Cameron, 1901 (Ichneumonidae, Campopleginae) is with 442 species one of the most species - rich genera of Darwin wasps, but despite the existence of recent keys, species identification has proven difficult to impossible to non-specialists. In this study, we examined about 1,500 Dusona specimens from recent and historical collections in Sweden and Switzerland. We provide a photographic guide to diagnostic characters and detailed plates for 57 out of 125 Western Palaearctic Dusona species, facilitating species identification based on existing keys. We add 11 and 3 species to the faunistic records of Sweden and Switzerland, respectively. Furthermore, we reconstruct the phylogeny of European Dusona based on four standard markers (COI, CAD, ITS2, 28S) for 45 species, complemented with a reliable reference barcode library for 46 species. Even though we can identify several morphologically distinct clades, we do not propose any new subgenera due to prevalent homoplasy of characters. While most species are well separated by barcodes, several morphologically distinct species have barely discriminatory barcode sequences (p-distances < 2%) or are even paraphyletic in this marker, indicating limitations in the applicability of barcodes for Darwin wasps. This study reveals severe gaps in the inventories of neglected taxa even for well-studied countries such as Sweden and Switzerland. As this study makes species determination for Western Palaearctic Dusona more accessible, we encourage more people, including non-specialists, to work with this genus.

Cabbage is today an economically important crop grown in more than 90 countries around the world. Production is constantly threatened by pests including the cabbage webworm, Hellula undalis (F.) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) which just one or two larvae can cause severe damage by infesting the growing points or shoots of young plants. Hellula undalis is difficult to control by the use of chemical insecticides. The establishment of effective biological control is needed. The parasitoid species Pristomerus pallidus (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Cremastinae) was recorded for the first time in Senegal on larvae of Hellula undalis from cabbage fields infested with H. undalis. Laboratory observed parasitism was 7.4%. This is the first record of Pristomerus pallidus parasitizing Hellula undalis from Senegal. Furthermore, studies on the potential regulation of Hellula undalis under controlled and field conditions need to be evaluated for utilizing this parasitoid as a biocontrol agent against the cabbage webworm.

Cette sixième contribution à la connaissance de l'entomofaune d'un village de Famenne belge aborde le groupe des Diplazontinae (Hymenoptera : Ichneumonidae). Les données faunistiques de 31 espèces y sont détaillées. Une espèce, Diplazon parvus Klopfstein 2014, est citée pour la première fois de Belgique. Plusieurs espèces rares en Belgique sont redécouvertes : Bioblapsis polita (van Vollenhoven 1878), Campocraspedon caudatus (Thomson 1890), Diplazon neoalpinus Zwakhals 1979, Diplazon varicoxa (Thomson 1890), Homotropus longiventris Thomson 1890, Phthorima xanthaspis (Thomson 1890), Promethes nigriventris (Thomson 1890) et Xestopelta gracillima (Schmiedeknecht 1926). Une liste mise à jour des Diplazontinae de Belgique est présentée.
