	abstract = {The new gregarious parasitoid Meteorus acerbiavorus sp. nov. (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) was reared from the cocoons of Acerbia alpina (Quensel) (Lepidoptera, Arctiidae) in north-western Finnish Lapland. This species belongs to Meteorus rubens (Nees) species group and differs from the most related M. rubens in the following features: the eyes densely setose; the median lobe of the mesos- cutum, scutellum, mesopleuron, and the hind coxa entirely or at least partly rugulose-granulate or rugose-areolate and sometimes with granulation; the ovipos- itor subapicallywith distinct dorsal node; the ventral borders of the first metasomal tergum weakly separated by narrow space in its basal half; the colour of the body and legs mostly or entirely dark; the fore wing more or less darkened. Phylogenetic relationships among several Meteorus species close to M. rubens including new M. acerbiavorus were investigated based on DNA sequence fragments of the mito- chondrial COI and the nuclear 28S rDNA genes. The discussions on the species groups of Meteorus, on distribution of Acerbia alpina in the Holarctic and on its known parasitoids are presented.},

	abstract = {<p>Minanga phoebea sp. n. Quicke, from Uganda, and Malasigalphus roa sp. n. Sharkey, from Madagascar, are described and illustrated. The new species of Minanga displays a distinct posterior metasomal carina and thus provides another example of the co-occurrence of this feature with a metasomal carapace within the Braconidae. Malasigalphus roa is the second species of the genus recently described by Achterberg and Austin. A preliminary molecular phylogeny of the Sigalphinae is presented including the rare Neotropical genus Pselaphanus the placement of which has been debated. Sensitivity analysis to multiple alignment parameters was conducted and a single elided data set, based on the combined 21 separate alignments, was analysed. Strong support was obtained for the following relationships: Pselaphanus+(Malasigalphus+(other Sigalphinae)), (Minanga+ (Sigalphus bicolor+(S. irrorator+S. gyrodontus))), and Earinini being basal (as a grade in these analyses) to other Agathidinae. The Mesocoelus group of genera (Mesocoelini in part) are shown to be derived agathidines rather than being associated with the Orgilini. The Microtypinae is shown be non-monophyletic and Plesiotypus Achterberg is proposed as the sister group to the Agathidinae+Sigalphinae clade. The Acampsohelconinae does not appear as monophyletic; however, the placements of both of the two included genera, Afrocampsis and Canalicephalis, had less than 100\% support in the elised analysis tree, and therefore monophyly of this recently redefined subfamily must be more rigorously tested.</p>

Host data are only available for S. lepidus which is a parasitoid of cerambycid larvae, notably Phoracantha spp. associated with temperate, subtropical and Mediterranean eucalypt forests in eastern and southern Australia. Other than S. lepidus, S. polychromus is the only other species known fromAustralia (south-east Queensland), the remaining seven species all being restricted to mainland New Guinea. Preliminary phylogenetic analysis indicates the genus comprises two species groups with S. lepidus and S. quadricolor forming a polytomy with these. The two Australian species (S. lepidus and S. polychromus) are not monophyletic, nor are the two species that lack an occipital carina (S. tricolor and S. cryptus).},

	abstract = {The genus Stantonia Ashmead, 1904 is revised and an identification key for all the available described species is provided. Phylogenetic analyses including and excluding colour characters are presented and the results of various constrained analyses used to assess statistically the need for taxonomic changes. These tests lead to the recognition that Bentonia van Achterberg, 1992, is a derived group within Stantonia and the two genera are accordingly synonymized. The status of both Eleonoria Braet and van Achterberg, 2000 and of Orgilonia van Achterberg, 1987, as valid genera is also questionable but as they were not consistently recovered as subgroups within Stantonia and excluding them does not lead to trees that are significantly longer than trees in which they appear derived within Stantonia, they are not being synonymized here. Sulorgilus van Achterberg is transferred from the Orgilini to the Mimagathidini. Twenty-eight species are described as new. Stantonia pallida (Ashmead, 1894) is a new combination for Orgilus pallidus Ashmead, 1904. Stantonia kriegeri Enderlein, 1905 and S. lamprosemae Muesebeck, 1938 are recognized as new junior synonyms of S. pallida. The type-species of S. sumatrana Enderlein, 1908 (Sumatra), S. hammersteini Enderlein, 1908 (Madagascar), S. rufithorax Enderlein, (1918) 1920 (Colombia), S. procera Enderlein, (1918) 1920 (Sumatra), S. minuta Enderlein, 1908 (Peru), S. agroterae Nixon, 1950 (India), are at least partly redescribed. Females of S. procera and S. spasskensis Belokobylskij, 1993 are described
for the first time. S. katiae nom. n. is proposed in place of B. scutellaris van Achterberg, 1992. New host or distribution data are given for several species.},
