The Brazilian fauna of Holepyris is investigated. H. eminentus sp. nov. from Amazonian rain forest is described and illustrated. It is recognized by having large and bulging eyes. New geographic records and taxonomic variation data for H. coriaceus Evans, 1977; H. micidus Evans, 1977; H. subtilis Evans, 1977; H. tenuis Evans, 1977; and H. turrialbae Evans, 1977 are provided. A key to Brazilian species is presented.

The mesopleuron of Bethylidae has many structures that are used in taxonomic and phylogenetic studies. The lack of understanding of these structures has generated independent terminologies and a series of confusing terms, hampering effective scientific communication. A morphological study and literature review were made in order to solve these problems. Our study resulted in an anatomic glossary with 49 terms that presented a large number of synonyms and polysemies. The glossary standardizes the terms used in the Bethylidae mesopleuron and in other Hymenoptera groups, which will facilitate hypotheses of primary homology in comparative biology.

The generic richness and abundance of Bethylidae collected in four different hillside areas of Atlantic rain forest from Espirito Santo, Brazil were studied. The sites are Santa Maria de Jetiba (SMJ), Domingos Martins (DM), Pancas (P) and Atilio Vivacqua (AV). A total of 2,840 specimens of 12 genera were collected. Lepidosternopsis Ogloblin and Bakeriella Kieffer are fi rst recorded from the State. Richness of taxa was calculated using fi rst-order Jackknife richness with EstimateS program. Genera accumulation curves were ran to evaluate the samples. Abundance data were adjusted to the geometric distribution. Parameter k was used to compare areas. The generic profi le was not equal for the sites we studied. The areas were considered disturbed. SMJ and DM presented genera richness bigger than in P and AV. The differences in the sites refl ect the different preservation of each environment. Pseudisobrachium Kieffer and Dissomphalus Ashmead are most dominant genera in SMJ, DM and P, an...

The current knowledge of the distribution and diversity of extant aculeate wasps (Aculeata excluding ants and bees) in the Arabian Peninsula (and Socotra) is reviewed. The number of species (1096 of which about 28% are apparently endemic) represents about 3% of the world fauna, with Crabronidae the most diverse family (about 35% of Arabian species). Most species (46%) are Afrotropical, 37% are Palaearctic, and 17% are Indo-Malayan (Oriental).

The Epyrinae genus Pristepyris Kieffer is revised. The genus has four species. Pristepyris rugicollis Kieffer from Malaysia and P. levicollis Kieffer from Madagascar are rediscovered. Their adult male holotypes are redescribed and illustrated. Specimens of Pristepyris agraensis Kurian and P. flavicornis Kieffer were unavailable and reassigned based on their original descriptions. All species are considered to be Pristocerinae, because they have the metanotum well developed medially. Pristepyris rugicollis is transferred to Acrepyris Westwood because it has the aedeagus divided in three valvae, P. agraensis is transferred to Acrepyris, because it has an undivided hypopygium; and P. levicollis and P. flavicornis are transferred to Pristocera Klug, because they have a hypopygium that is deeply divided into two lobes. Pristepyris is considered junior synonym of Acrepyris, because Pristepyris rugicollis is its type-species.

Here we describe the flat wasp genus Makeraia gen. nov., and its three species M. migueli sp. nov., M. clariceae sp. nov. and M. lacinia sp. nov. from Madagascar. The males of this genus are easily recognized among the other genera of Pristocerinae by having the antennae very long, about as long as the whole body, a condition unique in Bethylidae. Our findings emphasize the endemicity of the flat wasp fauna of Madagascar and its high potential of biodiversity.
