  • gilpinia infuscalae wang wei sp nov and a key to the chinese gilpinia species hymenoptera Diprionidae
    Zootaxa, 2019
    Co-Authors: Hannan Wang, David R. Smith, Wei Xiao, Gengyun Niu, Meicai Wei
    Abstract:

    Gilpinia infuscalae Wang & Wei, sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Diprionidae) from China is described. It is similar in color to G. nigra Okutani, 1958 from Japan but differs in the strongly infuscate wings, the simple inner spur of hind tibia and the unique lancet. The host plant is Pinus massoniana Lamb. (Pinaceae). A key to known species of Gilpinia from China is provided.

  • Japanese species of the sawfly genus Nesodiprion (Hymenoptera, Diprionidae).
    Zootaxa, 2015
    Co-Authors: Hideho Hara, David R. Smith
    Abstract:

    Nesodiprion flavipes sp. nov. associated with Tsuga diversifolia (Maxim.) Mast. and N. kojimai sp. nov. associated with Abies veitchii Lindl. are described from Honshu, Japan. Additional taxonomic and biological information is given for other Japanese congeners, N. japonicus (Marlatt, 1898), N. albiventris Togashi, 1998, N. shinoharai Togashi, 1998, N. nigerrimus Togashi, 1998, N. kagaensis Togashi, 1998, N. niger Togashi, 2001 and N. tsugae Togashi, 2001. The males of N. shinoharai, N. kagaensis and N. tsugae are described for the first time. The host plants of N. shinoharai are Pinus spp. Nesodiprion kagaensis is newly recorded from Hokkaido, Japan, and its host plants are Pinus spp. and Larix kaempferi (Lamb.) Carriere. Larvae of N. japonicus and N. kagaensis are briefly described. A division of Nesodiprion into the following five species groups is proposed: N. tsugae group, N. niger group, N. flavipes group, N. japonicus group and N. shinoharai group. Additions to the key to Nesodiprion species by Hara & Smith (2012) are given.

  • Sawflies (Hymenoptera: Symphyta) in a Juniper—Oak—rassland Habitat in Southern Arizona
    Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington, 2014
    Co-Authors: David R. Smith, E. E. Grissell
    Abstract:

    Abstract. We sampled a juniper-oak-grassland habitat in southeastern Arizona for Symphyta over a seven-year period. Collections included 27 species of Symphyta: 1 Xyelidae, 5 Pergidae, 1 Diprionidae, 16 Argidae, and 4 Tenthredinidae. The peak season for sawflies is July through September, coinciding with the rainy season. Five new species are described, Acordulecera brevis Smith, A. tristis Smith, and A. comoa Smith (Pergidae), and Eustromboceros arizonicus Smith and E. alboclypea Smith (Tenthredinidae). Previously unknown males are described for Sphacophilus apiculus Smith, Zynzus luteiventris (Cameron) (Argidae), and Susana rufa Smith (Tenthredinidae). Zynzus himus Smith is a new record for the United States, and Periclista is a new generic record for Arizona.
