Title: Braconidae (Hymenoptera) from Korea XXII. Subfamily Alysiinae
Author: Papp, J.
Author's address: Department of Zoology, Hungarian Natural History Museum, H-1088 Budapest, Baross utca 13, Hungary
Abstract: Fivehundred seventeen Alysiinae braconid specimens taken in Korea served for the present elaboration, the material represents 39 Alysiini and 64 Dacnusini species, i.e. a total of 103 species. From among them eight species are new to science: (Alysiini:) Adelphenaldis correcta sp. n., Apronopa levis sp. n., Synaldis venustula sp. n., Aspilota turgida sp. n. and (Dacnusini:) Antrusa bispinula sp. n., Antrusa dilatata sp. n., Dacnusa luctuosa sp. n., Dacnusa reno sp. n. The new species are described and related to their nearest allies. A redescription of Epimicta longicaudalis Tobias is presented. The majority of the known species is new to the fauna of Korea. The locality data of the known species are completed, where necessary, with faunistic and distributional contributions. With 121 original figures.

Title: Allozyme variability of Brown Hares
(Lepus europaeus) from the Vojvodina (Serbia), compared to
Central and Southeastern European populations Authors: Vapa, L.1, Djan, M.1, Obreht,
D.1, Hammer, S.2 and Suchentrunk,
F.3
Authors' addresses: 1Department of Biology and Ecology, Faculty of Sciences, Trg Dositeja Obradovica 2, 21000 Novi Sad, Serbia, E-mail: vapa@ib.ns.ac.yu Abstract: To assess genetic variability of brown hares (Lepus europaeus
Pallas, 1778) from the Vojvodina province (Serbia) and to
reveal gene pool relationships with central and southeastern European
populations, 33 hares were screened for allozymic variation at 40
putative structural gene loci and directly compared to earlier data
sets of 20 Austrian and eight Bulgarian populations. Seven loci (17.5%
rate of polymorphism) were polymorphic in the Vojvodinian hares. All
indices of genetic diversity of the Vojvodina population were within
the ranges found for the Austrian and Bulgarian populations, indicating
no loss of genetic diversity. Pairwise genetic distances revealed
low levels of divergence among all compared populations. Low bootstrap
values provided little support for allocating the Vojvodina hares
to either the central European or southeastern European populations.
Multidimensional scaling (MDS) of the pairwise Rogers' distance
matrix and multivariate analysis of variance of population coordinates
for three dimensions revealed significant differentiation between
central and southeastern European populations. Stepwise discriminant
analysis of population coordinates from MDS classified the Vojvodina
population with 69.0% into the group of central European populations.

Title: Seasonal changes in the sex ratio
of Nyctalus species in North-east Hungary Author: Estók, P.
Author's address: University of Debrecen, Department of Hydrobiology, H-4032 Debrecen Egyetem tér 1. E-mail: batfauna@gmail.com
Abstract: The sex ratios of Nyctalus noctula, N. leisleri and N. lasiopterus
were studied in North-East Hungary between 1994 and 2006. Significant
seasonal changes were found in the sex ratios of N. noctula
and N. leisleri. N. noctula females were not present
during nursing time, which means that the species do not form maternity
colonies in the region. Females were observed in the spring and autumn
which suggests considerable migration. In the cases of N. leisleri
and N. lasiopterus females were dominant during nursing time.
Key words: Nyctalus, sex ratio, Hungary
