TL;DR: A natural classification is proposed, sequencing seven tribes in six subfamilies within the single family Vespidae, with the Stenogastrinae regarded as the sister‐group of the Vespinae + Polistinae.
Abstract: Phylogenetic relationships of the subfamilies and tribes of the Vespoidea Diploptera) are investigated using cladistic methods. A natural classification is proposed, sequencing seven tribes in six subfamilies within the single family Vespidae. Euparagia is the sister-group of the rest of the Vespidae. The Gayellinae and Masarinae are sister-groups, and are reduced in rank to tribes within the subfamily Masarinae. This is the sister-group of the Eumeninae + Stenogastrinae + Polistinae + Vespinae. The Zethinae is a paraphyletic group; both it and the Raphiglossinae are deleted and included in the Eumeninae. The Stenogastrinae is regarded as the sister-group of the Vespinae + Polistinae.

TL;DR: Thirty-seven species are known from both sexes, and nine from only one sex, and the previously unknown female of Karlissa Krombein is described.
Abstract: Krombein, Karl V. Biosystematic Studies of Ceylonese Wasps, IX: A Monograph of the Tiphiidae (Hymenoptera: Vespoidea). Smithsonian Contributions to Zoology, number 374, 121 pages, 64 figures, 1982.—Forty-six species are recorded from Sri Lanka in the following subfamilies: Anthoboscinae with one species of Anthobosca Guerin; Tiphiinae with 30 species of Tiphia Fabricius; Myzininae with five species of Mesa Saussure and two of Hylomesa Krombein; Methochinae with three species of Methocha subgenus Methocha Latreille, four species of Methocha subgenus Dryinopsis Brues, and one species of Karlissa Krombein. Thirty-seven species are known from both sexes, and nine from only one sex. Thirty-one species occur only in Sri Lanka, and 15 are found also in India or are more widely distributed in the Oriental Region. Specific hosts are unknown, but it is presumed that all taxa are parasitic on coleopterous larvae in the soil, in rotting wood, or in cavities in twigs or sound dead timber. The 33 new taxa are Anthobosca ceylonica, Tiphia leclercqi, T. kaszabi, T. sakagamii, T. knutsoni, T. hillyardi, T. bouceki, T. moczari, T. tsunekii, T. gurneyi, T. kurczewskii, T. bakeriana, T. weismani, T. pulawskii, T. wittmeri, T. wirthi, T. carvalhoi, T. vanlithi, T. hirashimai, T. dayi, T.fennahi, T. wahisi, T. sabroskyi, Mesa karunaratnei, M. flavipennis, Hylomesa anomala, Methocha (Methocha) litoralis, M. (M.) heveli, M. (M.) ubiquita, M. (Dryinopsis) taprobane, M. (D.) kandyensis, M. (D.) ceylonica, and M. (D.) anomala. The previously unknown female of Karlissa is described. The following new synonyms are made: Tiphia devalae Allen under T. tegulita Allen; T. conscia Nurse and T batorea Allen under T. decrescens Walker; and T. brevipennis Cameron, T. petri Turner, and T. crinita Roberts under T. hirsuta Smith. Lectotypes are designated for Tiphia conscia Nurse, T. brevipennis Cameron, and Myzine petiolata Smith. The following new combinations are made: Myzine dimidiata Guerin, M. claripennis Bingham, and M. petiolata Smith are all transferred to Mesa Saussure.

TL;DR: The pselaphid beetle Adranes taylori Wickham possesses trichomes (tufts of golden hairs) on the abdomen, tips of elytra and venter, which are highly attractive to half-grown or smaller ant larvae, less so to larger larvae and workers.
Abstract: Genus LASIUS Mayr Lasius sitkaensis Pergande Akre and Hill 1973. The pselaphid beetle Adranes taylori Wickham possesses trichomes (tufts of golden hairs) on the abdomen, tips of elytra and venter. These trichomes are highly attractive to half-grown or smaller ant larvae, less so to larger larvae and workers. The beetles are fed by the larvae through trophallaxis and obtain other nutrients by feeding on dead larvae and workers. Beetles are often seen walking about with larvae actively holding on to the trichomes with their mouthparts; Fig. 4 (p. 53 1) shows a larva so attached.

TL;DR: En this trabajo describimos una nueva especie de Leptothorax, una y dos nuevas citas para the Península.
Abstract: El género Leptothorax está integrado, en la mayor parte de especies ibéricas, por formas de pequeño tamaño, cuyos hábitos las hacen pasar a menudo desapercibidas. Los lugares de nidií'icación y el pequeño número de individuos de la sociedad contribuyen a que hayan sido poco estudiadas en nuestra fauna, aún cuando es el género que cuenta con mayor número de especies dentro de la fauna ibérica de hormigas. En este trabajo describimos una nueva especie de Leptothorax y damos dos nuevas citas para la Península.
