The propodeal spiracles of honey bees from N Greece and N Italy were examined, in addition, using a scanning electron microscope. Certain dimensions, like the length and the area of aperture in the prothoracic spiracle, were found to be significantly larger in honey bees from N Italy and Slovenia compared with the honey bees from N Greece. The length of aperture was found to be 648 {\`\i}m in the honey bees from N Greece, while it was 13\% larger in the honey bees from N Italy and 10\% larger in the honey bees from Slovenia; the area of the aperture was found to be 103000 {\`\i}m2 in the honey bees from N Greece, while it was 26\% larger in the honey bees from N Italy and 27\% larger in the honey bees from Slovenia. The dimensions of the propodeal spiracle were found to be similar between the strains examined. The fact that the prothoracic spiracle of honey bees from N Greece was significantly smaller compared to other honey bee groups (from N Italy and Slovenia), is discussed as a possible mechanism for resistance developed by this strain against Acarapis woodi.}, keywords = {Acarapis woodi, Apis mellifera, Honey bees, Hymenoptera, morphometrics, Propodeum, Prothorax, resistance, Spiracle}, author = {Hatjina, F. and Gregorc, A. and Papaefthimiou, C. and Pappas, N. and Zacharioudakis, S. and Thrasyvoulou, A. and Theophilidis, G.} } @article {6249, title = {Predation of an ant, Cataglyphis bicolor F.

A large amount of genetic variation (between seven and 30 alleles per locus) was detected. Average heterozygosity and average number of alleles were significantly higher in African than in European subspecies, in agreement with larger effective population sizes in Africa. Microsatellite analyses confirmed that A. mellifera evolved in three distinct and deeply differentiated lineages previously detected by morphological and mitochondrial DNA studies. Dendrogram analysis of workers from given population indicated that super-sisters cluster together when using a sufficient number of microsatellite data whereas half-sisters do not. An index of classification was derived to summarize the clustering of different taxonomic levels in large phylogenetic trees based on individual genotypes. Finally, individual population times loci data were used to test the adequacy of the two alternative mutation models, the infinite allele model (IAM) and the stepwise mutation models. The better fit overall of the IAM probably results from the majority of the microsatellites used including repeats of two or three different length motifs (compound microsatellites).}, keywords = {Hymenoptera}, author = {Estoup, A. and Garnery, L. and Solignac, M. and Cornuet, J.-M.} } @article {5745, title = {Rassegna critica delle specie paleartiche del genere Myrmecocystus.}, journal = {Memorie della Reale Accademia delle Scienze dell{\textquoteright} Istituto di BolognaMemorie della Reale Accademia delle Scienze dell{\textquoteright} Istituto di Bologna}, volume = {3}, number = {6}, year = {1906}, pages = {47-61.}, keywords = {Hymenoptera}, author = {Emery, C.} } @article {5721, title = {Occurrence of hymenopterous parasaitoids of stored product pests in Greece}, journal = {IOBC/WPRS Bulletin OILB/SROPIOBC/WPRS Bulletin OILB/SROP}, volume = {25}, number = {3}, year = {2002}, pages = {115{\textendash}118}, keywords = {Hymenoptera}, author = {Eliopoulos, P.

Differences were noted between the Spanish Metaphycus nr. sp. anneckei and material described as M. anneckei that is resident to California. Although dissimilar in few morphological characters, the ovipositor length and shape of the male genitalia and the antennal club of both sexes can be used to discriminate between M. anneckei resident to California and the Spanish material, which was subsequently named Metaphycus hageni Daane and Caltagirone. To determine if morphological differences correspond to biological differences, reproductive and oviposition behaviours of Californian M. anneckei and Spanish M. hageni were studied. Mating was not observed between individuals of the two types and only male progeny were produced in interspecific pairings. Metaphycus anneckei females deposit eggs through the scale{\textquoteright}s ventral side and were never observed to host feed, while M. hageni females oviposit through the scale{\textquoteright}s dorsum and frequently host fed. The collective biological evidence agrees with morphological evidence, indicating that M. anneckei and M. hageni are discrete species. Specimens from recent collections in California and Spain were compared with specimens from earlier collections (1910s to 1980s) in Australia, California, Greece, Hawaii, Italy, Israel, Mexico, and South Africa. With the exception of Greek and Spanish material, all specimens examined were M. anneckei.
