BackgroundThis is the second in a series of papers detailing the terrestrial arthropods collected during an intensive survey of a site near Steel Creek campground along the Buffalo National River in Arkansas. The survey was conducted over a period of eight and a half months using twelve trap types – Malaise traps, canopy traps (upper and lower collector), Lindgren multifunnel traps (black, green, and purple), pan traps (blue, purple, red, white, and yellow), and pitfall traps – and Berlese-Tullgren extraction of leaf litter.New informationWe provide collection records for 47 species of "Symphyta" (Insecta: Hymenoptera), 30 of which are new state records for Arkansas: (Argidae) Sterictiphora serotina; (Cimbicidae) Abia americana; (Diprionidae) Monoctenus fulvus; (Orussidae) Orussus terminalis; (Pamphiliidae) Onycholyda luteicornis, Pamphilius ocreatus, P. persicum, P. rileyi; (Pergidae) Acordulecera dorsalis, A. mellina, A. pellucida; (Tenthredinidae) Caliroa quercuscoccineae, Empria coryli, Hoplocampa marlatti, Macrophya cassandra, Monophadnoides conspiculatus, Monophadnus bakeri, Nematus abbotii, Neopareophora litura, Pachynematus corniger, Paracharactus rudis, Periclista marginicollis, Pristiphora banski, P. chlorea, Strongylogaster impressata, S. remota, Taxonus epicera, Thrinax albidopictus, T. multicinctus, Zaschizonyx montana; (Xiphydriidae) Xiphydria tibialis.

“…Species belonging to the genera Zadiprion and Neodiprion of the family Diprionidae have been registered in several states, such as Chihuahua (Olivo, 2011), Durango (Álvarez Zagoya & Díaz Escobedo, 2010; Quiñonez, 2006), Jalisco (Dirección General de Gestión Forestal y de Suelos (DGGFS), 2008), Guerrero and Oaxaca (González et al, 2014). A further notorious case was reported by Smith, Sánchez-Martínez & Ordaz-Silva (2010) in San Luis Potosí, in which Juniperus flaccida was attacked by the diprionid Monoctenus sanchezi . The particular case reported by Smith, Sánchez-Martínez & Ordaz-Silva (2010) highlights the lack of information on the subject in Mexico, as the species had been erroneously identified until the authors corrected the issue.…”

The imminent threat of climate change lies in its potential to disrupt the balance of ecosystems, particularly vulnerable areas such as mountain-top remnant forests. An example of such a fragile ecosystem is the Sierra San Pedro Mártir (SSPM) National Park of Mexico’s Baja California state, where high levels of endemism can be found, and which is home to one of the country’s few populations of the emblematic Jeffrey pine (Pinus jeffreyi). Recent outbreaks of pine-feeding sawfly larvae in SSPM increase the vulnerability of this forest ecosystem, calling for immediate assessments of the severity of this threat. Here, we present a thorough study of the sawfly’s biology and distribution, carrying out molecular and morphology-based identification of the species and creating model-based predictions of the species distribution in the area. The sawfly was found to belong to an undescribed species of the genus Zadiprion (family Diprionidae) with a one-year life-cycle. The distribution of this species appears to be restricted to the SSPM national park and it will probably persist for at least another 50 years, even considering the effects of climate change.

“…The family Diprionidae (Insecta: Hymenoptera), commonly known as sawflies, includes at least 90 described species and is a group of coniferdefoliating insects in the Northern Hemisphere (Smith 1988;Taeger et al 2010;Smith et al 2012). Many reports have indicated the presence of sawflies of the genus Neodiprion Rohwer, Zadiprion Rohwer, and Monoctenus Dahlbom (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) in Mexican conifer forests (Smith 1988;Smith et al 2010Smith et al , 2012. Defoliation attributed to sawflies leads to reduced growth in terms of diam, height, and root size in affected trees; if attack is severe and prolonged, it can result in tree death, especially among young trees in the sprouting phase (González-Gaona & Sánchez-Martínez 2018;Aguilera-Molina et al 2019).…”
