“…Tóth et al (2011) reported differences in parasitism between urban and rural sites, the rate being higher in urban areas. In England, the proportion of parasitic larvae was up to 40% (Notton and Outlaw, 2021). This species appears to be very effective in regulating the population of this pest (Lu et al, 2010;Tóth et al, 2011;Branco et al, 2019).…”

The most important pests of acacia black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia L.) (Fabaceae) are: Appendiseta robiniae Gillette, Phyllonorycter robiniella Clemens, Parectopa robiniella Clemens, Nematus tibialis Newman and Obolodiplosis robiniae Haldemann, species from North America, where it also originates the acacia, which is the host plant. In Europe these species were introduced accidentally, being considered invasive species. In Europe, O. robiniae Haldemann was first reported in July 2003 in northeastern Italy, in Paese near Padua, from where it spread to almost the entire European continent, especially through trade in infested biological material from nurseries. The attack occurs in the species R. pseudoacacia L., R. viscosa L. and R. hispida L., mainly in urban areas, where it mainly affects their aesthetic value. The larvae develop characteristic leaf margin roll galls on the infested leaves. There are up to 6 galels on a leaflet, and on average there are up to 5-6 larvae. In Europe it develops two, three and, in optimal conditions, even four generations a year. Zoophagous entomofauna can cause population decline, especially parasitoid species. For Platygaster robiniae Buhl & Duso (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) the percentage of parasites reported was up to 40%. A low percentage of parasitism can be produced by other species, such as: Aprostocetus sp., Chrysocharis sp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), Eupelmus urozonus Dalman (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae), Eurytoma verticillata F. (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), Mesopolobus mediterraneus Mayr. (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) and Torymus sp (Hymenoptera: Torymidae).

“…Popovici and Buhl (2010) reported Andricus lignicola (Hartig) (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) on Quercus as the host of F. hispanica, as it was in O' Connor et al (2004). Notton et al (2014) observed that, in fact, F. hispanica, was reared from beetle eggs found in a vacated gall of Andricus lignicola (Fig. 98) on Quercus robur and from beetle eggs found in a vacated Synergus umbraculus (Olivier) cell in a vacated Andricus kollari (Hartig) gall.…”

The Palearctic species of the genus Fidiobia are revised, seventeen new species are described (F. bohemicasp. nov.; F. brevialissp. nov.; F. communissp. nov.; F. gallicasp. nov.; F. hirtasp. nov.; F. insoonaesp. nov.; F. lisenchiaesp. nov.; F. longiclavasp. nov.; F. nipponicasp. nov.; F. platystasioidessp. nov.; F. politoidessp. nov.; F. pronotatoidessp. nov.; F. roataisp. nov.; F. rugosifronsoidessp. nov.; F. sashaisp. nov.; F. tripotinisp. nov.; F. vladlubomirisp. nov.), and eleven species (F. brevinotaula Veenakumari et al., 2018; F. filicornis Buhl, 2014; F. flaviabdominalis Veenakumari et al., 2018; F. hispanica Popovici & Buhl, 2010; F. hofferi Kozlov, 1978; F. polita Buhl, 1998; F. pronotata Szabó, 1958; F. rugosifrons Crawford, 1916; F. striatitergitis (Szabó, 1962); F. synergorum (Kieffer, 1921); F. vanharteni Buhl, 2010) are redescribed. A key for identification of females and distributional data for each species are provided. Brachypterous specimens are reported for F. rugosifrons and F. hofferi. Fidiobia gordoni Popovici & Buhl, 2010 is treated as a junior synonym of Fidiobia striatitergitis (Szabó, 1962).

The platygastrid subfamily Sceliotrachelinae, while represented globally by numerous biologically important taxa, is generally poorly known for the Afrotropical region. It contains a number of species of economic significance, including some that attack hemipteran pests of citrus. Here we review the taxonomy of the subfamily for the region. We revise two enigmatic, endemic South African genera, Afrisolia Masner and Huggert and Sceliotrachelus Brues, providing illustrated identification keys to the species. Afrisolia anyskop van Noort & Lahey, sp. nov., Afrisolia quagga van Noort & Lahey, sp. nov. and Afrisolia robertsoni van Noort & Lahey, sp. nov. are described for this previously monotypic genus. Sceliotrachelus was previously known only from the two male type specimens of Sceliotrachelus braunsi Brues. Two new species, Sceliotrachelus midgleyi van Noort, sp. nov. and Sceliotrachelus karooensis van Noort, sp. nov., are described from the Eastern and Western Cape, respectively. The female of S. braunsi is described for the first time and additional distribution records for the species are documented. The putatively basal species, S. karooensis, exhibits less derived morphology than the highly apomorphic S. braunsi, necessitating reassessment of the limits of the genus. The exceptional morphology exhibited by species of Sceliotrachelus is hypothesized to be an adaptation to living in leaf-litter. We also revise the Old World species of Parabaeus Kieffer, describing a remarkable new species, Parabaeus nasutus van Noort, sp. nov., and provide an illustrated and updated key to the species. Fidiobia Ashmead is currently represented in Africa by seven described species to which we add Fidiobia celeritas van Noort & Lahey, sp. nov., a charismatic new species from South Africa. The distribution of the genus Isolia is expanded to include new country records for I. hispanica Buhl (Kenya) and an undescribed species from Madagascar. To facilitate the ongoing exploration and documentation of the African platygastrid fauna, an identification key to Afrotropical sceliotracheline genera and high resolution images of exemplar species for the remaining genera are provided. An overview of known species richness and biology is also included. All images presented here as well as additional images and interactive online Lucid identification keys are available on WaspWeb at http://www.waspweb.org.
