“…However, the trend is not statistically significant (P > 0.05). A similar pattern was found with other parasitic hymenopterans along a similar gradient (Mumladze et al, 2017), while other animals showed a unimodal (Mumladze et al, 2017a) or decreasing (Aslan et al, 2017) pattern. Such inverse elevational patterns for parasitic Hymenoptera may be related to their host diversity.…”

Introduction The family Aphelinidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) currently includes 43 genera and 1168 species (Noyes, 2017) placed in five subfamilies (Aphelininae, Calesinae, Coccophaginae, Eretmocerinae, and Eriaphytinae) according to the recent classification by Heraty et al. (2013). Most of the species of Aphelinidae are parasitoids of Hemiptera while others also parasitize upon Orthoptera, Hymenoptera, Diptera, and Lepidoptera (Yasnosh, 1995). The genus Aphelinus Dalman (Aphelininae) includes the parasitoid species of sap-sucking aphids (Aphidomorpha) and hence has great potential in biocontrol applications (Nikol'skaya and Yasnosh, 1966; Chervonenko, 1997; Yasnosh, 2002). Species diversity and distribution within this genus is relatively well known. In particular, among the 98 described species worldwide, 37 and 15 species are known from Europe and the Caucasus, respectively

“…Five species are established outside their native ranges in other continents and on islands. One additional representative of the genus, Epitrix setosella (Fairmaire, 1888), was reportedly introduced outside the native range, namely, from east Asia to Georgia [ 93 ]. However, our examination of the specimens identified as " E .…”

Alien leaf beetles (Coleoptera, Chrysomelidae) of European Russia and some general tendencies of leaf beetle invasions

Invasions of leaf beetles can cause tremendous economic consequences because some of these insects become major pests in invaded territories. We present the first inventory of alien Chrysomelidae of European Russia that appeared in the region in the 20th and 21st centuries (9 species) with analysis of the history of their invasions and detailed maps of distribution. This case study revealed some general tendencies of invasions of leaf beetles: (1) Recently, a dramatic increase in the rate of Chrysomelidae invasions is observed, which reflects the increase in international trade of living plants; (2) Alien leaf beetles can spread quickly, occupying almost all of Europe within several decades; (3) When the range of some leaf beetle species is quickly expanding, or when the species has been recorded established somewhere outside the native range, this species should be regarded as a potential invader worldwide. and (4) Alien leaf beetles usually occur on alien or cultivated plants, but some become naturalized in native communities. The specific information was the following. Two species native to the Mediterranean region, Chrysolina americana (feeds on Rosmarinus and Lavandula) and Leptomona erythrocephala (feeds on Lotus corniculatus) were recorded in European Russia for the first time. A polyphagous pest of floriculture Luperomorpha xanthodera native to China and Korea and a pest of soybeans Medythia nigrobilineata native to east Asia have been in the region since 2016. A pest of tobacco Epitrix hirtipennis native to North America has occurred since 2011. A pest of corn Diabrotica virgifera was intercepted at the border of Russia in 2011 but has not established. Three alien species have been in the region since the 20th century: Zygogramma suturalis introduced from North America for control of Ambrosia, Phyllotreta reitteri native to Afghanistan and Tajikistan and feeding on Lepidium latifolium, and the Colorado potato beetle Leptinotarsa decemlineata.

“…Elevations in this region range from 590 to 3500 m. The LPA is among the most diverse and best-studied protected areas in Georgia, with 1666 insect species records to date ). More than 10 publications have been published during last 10 years detailing hundreds of new records for fauna within the LPA and Georgia (Japoshvili et al 2016Kostjukov 2016, 2017;Kostjukov et al 2016a,b;2017;Kostjukov and Japoshvili 2016a,b;Gul Aslan et al 2017;Japoshvili 2017Japoshvili , 2018Dobosz et al 2018;Dvorak et al 2018;Otto and Japoshvili 2018;Riedel et al 2018;Japoshvili and Khachikov 2021). Here we provide additional new faunistic records of hymenopterans in the LPA, documenting the first records of these taxa in Georgia and/or the Caucasus.…”

We present data on the distribution of seven wasp families, Ceraphronidae, Diapriidae, Ismaridae, Megaspilidae, Platygastridae, Proctotrupidae and Scelionidae, collected in Georgia (Sakartvelo). Thirty-three genera are recorded for the first time from Georgia and 25 of them for the Caucasus. From these, 16 species level taxa are newly recorded in Georgia, and 14 identified species are new records for the Caucasus. This brings the number of known insect species in the Lagodekhi Protected Area (LPA) to 1682.
