Phylogenomic approaches have recently helped elucidate various insect relationships, but
large-scale comprehensive analyses on relationships within sawflies and woodwasps are …

The recent advances in sequencing technologies, phylogenomics and divergence dating
methods call for an integrative review of the current state of Hymenoptera systematics. We …

True sawflies (Tenthredinoidea) have a substantial fossil record but are rarely encountered
in Eocene ambers. Here we describe three new taxa in this superfamily from late Eocene …

The male genitalia of the Insecta are famed for structural and functional diversity. Variation in
this anatomical region shows ample phylogenetic signal, and this variation has proven …

In comparison to other non-parasitic basal lineages, Apocrita have consistently
demonstrated a greatly accelerated rate of gene rearrangement. A number of mechanisms …

Abstract Tomostethus sinofraxini Wang & Wei (a new name is proposed for Tomostethus
fraxini Niu & Wei, 2022: Tomostethus sinofraxini Wang & Wei, nom. nov.), an emerging …

Hervetia paleocenica gen. et sp. nov., the second oldest representative of the wasp family
Cimbicidae, is described from the Palaeocene of Menat (Puy-de-Dôme, France). It shows …

Insects are well adapted organisms to the terrestrial life on Earth. The evolution of the
odorant receptor family is one of the causes underpinning this remarkable adaptation …

Luberotenthredo cerestensis gen. et sp. nov. is the first record of the sawfly family
Tenthredinidae from the Oligocene of Céreste (Southern France). This taxon is described …

The complete mitochondrial genome (mitogenome) of the sawfly, Nesodiprion zhejiangensis
Zhou & Xiao, was sequenced, assembled, and deposited in GenBank (Accession Number …
