AbstractIdris Förster (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea), reared from the eggs of pholcid spiders (Araneae: Pholcidae) in southeast Asia are described on the basis of external morphology and the barcode region of the mitochondrial COI gene. The new species and their hosts are: I.badius Johnson & Chen, sp. n. (ex Nipisaphyllicola (Deeleman-Reinhold), Panjangehamiguitan Huber), I.balteus Johnson & Chen, sp. n. (ex Panjangecamiguin Huber), I.curtus Johnson & Chen, sp. n. , Uthinaluzonica Simon), and I.fusciceps (ex Belisanakhaosok Huber).Four new species of the genus  Baeini (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) are one of the major biotic sources of mortality among their spider hosts . Additionally, Aradophagus Ashmead has been reported as a spider egg parasitoid  a richly speciose genus, (2) a group without any solid, comprehensive treatment for the region, and (3) a group containing numerous described species many of which are more or less unidentifiable. Would the addition of more isolated species descriptions be a contribution toward progress, or would it simply make the problem larger and more intractable?If the ultimate goal is a complete documentation of the diversity in such a group, then one can imagine various strategies to achieve that aim. The ideal might be a comprehensive monographic treatment based on the totality of specimens existing in collections, the addition of targeted, newly collected material, a review of all existing primary types, and data sets that incorporate as many independent character sources as possible. For many reasons, this standard may be difficult or impossible to achieve, especially when dealing with a genus comprised of hundreds of species. An alternative could be to work gradually toward that same goal by incrementally planting signposts in the terrain, signposts that are well-defined points of reference to guide for future work. This is our goal here: each species description has host records and COI barcode data to supplement the morphological characters.Pholcid spiders were collected manually and egg sacs were checked with a hand-held lens in search of parasitized eggs. Females with parasitized eggs were kept alive in small plastic containers until the wasps emerged. Adult specimens emerged from eight samples. Specimens from these samples were used in both the morphological and molecular analyses:Mal228: SINGAPORE: Dairy Farm Nature Park , 50 m a.s.l., 15.ii.2015 .

The host spiders are deposited at the Zoological Research Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn, Germany (ZFMK).The wasp specimens are deposited in the C.A. Triplehorn Insect Collection, Ohio State University, Columbus, OH (OSUC”) for the individual specimens. The label data for all specimens are recorded in the Hymenoptera Online database, and details on the data associated with these specimens can be accessed at hol.osu.edu by entering the identifier in the form (note the space between the acronym and the number). All new species names have been prospectively registered with Zoobank . The taxonomic descriptions were generated by a database application, vSysLab (vsyslab.osu.edu), designed to facilitate the production of taxon by character data matrices and to integrate those data with the existing taxonomic and specimen-level database. The text output for descriptions is in the format of “Character: Character state (s)”. Polymorphic characters are indicated by semicolon-separated character states. Comparison with holotypes of species described from India and Vietnam were made using the images in Specimage (specimage.osu.edu) referenced in specimage.osu.edu).Abbreviations and morphological terms used in text: A1, A2, A3: antennomere 1, 2, 3; T1, T2, ...

Morphological terminology otherwise generally follows Trissolcusbasalis (Wollaston)  used as an outgroup to root the tree.Genomic DNA was extracted from ethanol-preserved specimens using the DNeasy Blood & Tissue Kit  and following the protocol used by The nucleotide alignment file and GenBank accession numbers are included in Suppl. materials 1) Mal3052) PSt84 + PSt461Idrisfusciceps sp. n.)3) Mal331 (4) Phi286Idrisbadius sp. n.)5) Mal276 + PSt1226 6) Phi 291 (Idriscurtus sp. n.)7) Mal228 + Mal256 + PSt1564 + Mal226 + Phi271 . The average between-group pairwise percentage identity was 88.154% (87.016–90.207%). The average percent identity with the outgroup, I.badius. The low level of sequence identity (86.5%) strongly suggests that they are not conspecific, but in lieu of finding any morphological distinction, we decided to refrain from describing it. None of these new species were identifiable on the basis of the key in Five of the seven groupings of molecular samples were represented by adults, and all but one of these are described below as new species.

Molecules instituted some years ago a “Best Paper” award to recognize the most outstanding papers in the area of organic synthesis, natural products, medicinal chemistry and molecular diversity published each year in Molecules. We are pleased to announce the third “Molecules Best Paper Award” for 2015.

Trissolcusbasalis (Wollaston), was recorded parasitizing eggs of the invasive stink bug Halyomorphahalys (Stål) in the United States. This is the first record of this species parasitizing fresh and frozen eggs of H.halys in the United States.A parasitoid wasp, Trissolcusbasalis parasitizing Halyomorphahalys eggs in the United States.First record of  Halyomorphahalys (Stål), 1855 (Hemiptera: Pentatomidae) (BMSB) is a native of China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan. Unfortunately, this invasive insect pest has spread to the United States  Swingle, a tree with seed pods that are a favourite non-crop food source for H.halys, also occurs in both states.In the south-eastern U.S., populations of Anastatus Motchulsky (Eupelmidae), Trissolcus Ashmead, Telenomus Haliday and Gryon Haliday (Scelionidae) have been reported to parasitize eggs of H.halys in the U.S. . On 24 June 2018, 30 fresh egg masses (≤ 24 h old) were hung as sentinels on tomato plants for 72 h. Some egg masses (≤ 12 h old) were frozen and held at -20ºC for 1–4 d. On 18 October, 30 frozen egg masses were hung as sentinels on plants in cotton and soybean for 72 h. In the laboratory, the collected egg masses were held for emergence of adult parasitoids and emergent wasps were identified using the key of Laboratory-reared T.basalis immature stages, mainly third instars, prepupae and pupae, were based on descriptions of T.basalis immatures in H.halys eggs, parasitised by T.basalis every 24 h from oviposition to pupation .All egg masses were dissected for dead, immature parasitoids.

Specimens were softened in 70% ethanol for two hours, then DNA was extracted using a DNeasy Blood and Tissue Kit (Qiagen). The DNA samples were quantified using a NanoDrop 2000 spectrophotometer (Thermo Scientific). At least 20 ng of genomic DNA was used per PCR. The 5’-COI region was PCR-amplified using the primers LCO1490 and HCO2198 . PCRs we(Wollaston) 18589B7BFB49-9F19-5847-91C4-1010F575113FType status:Other material.

Overall, percent parasitism per egg mass was moderately high (62.7%). In general, percent immature mortality was slightly higher for frozen egg masses (48.2%) than for fresh ones (35.4%). Overall, 38.0% of the parasitoids emerged as adults. A female biased sex ratio of 4F:1M was observed for emergent parasitoids.At the Tuscaloosa site, T.basalis, provided by Nezaraviridula (L.), Euschistusservus (Say), Euthyrhynchusfloridanus (L.), Piezodorushybneri (Gmelin) and Plautiaaffinis .
