Type species. Heterochneumon rasnitsyni sp. nov.
Included species. Heteroichneumon rasnitsyni sp. nov.
Etymology. The genus name refers to Heteropimpla, which shares some remarkable similarities with the new genus. Gender masculine.
Diagnosis. Antenna filiform, with 19 flagellomeres. Notauli strong, joining before scutellum, forming a strong median sulcus reaching hind margin of mesonotum. Fore wing with1-Rs issuing from C+Sc+R far before pterostigmal base; areolet open, with no traces of r-m, 2- Rs slightly longer than 2+3-M, meeting at distinctly obtuse angle; 3-Cu not aligned with 2cu-a. Hind wing with 1-Rs 0.5× as long as r-m, nervellus broken below middle, 2-Cu present. Ovipositor needle-shaped, not serrated, 0.3× as long as fore wing.
Remarks. Unique within Novichneumoninae in having notauli joining before scutellum. Differs from other genera, excluding Heteropimpla, in having 2-Cu in hind wing; from Heteropimpla in having areolet open; from Caloichneumon and Rasnichneumon in having much more flagellomeres.

Black-tufted Gerbil
Gerbillus famulus
French: Gerbille 4 touffe noire / German: Schwarzquasten-Rennmaus / Spanish: Gerbillo de penacho negro
Taxonomy. Gerbillus (“Hendecapleura”) famulus Yerbury & Thomas, 1895,
Lehej, Aden, S Yemen.
Gerbillus famulus exhibits a number of re- markable morphological features which were detailed by D. L. Harrison and P. J. J. Bates in 1991, and was recognized as valid by I. Ya. Pavlinov and colleagues in 1990 and by G. G. Musser and M. D. Carleton in 2005. No genetic data are available. Monotypic.
Distribution. SW Yemen.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 86-105 mm, tail 128-150 mm, ear 15-19 mm, hindfoot 26-29 mm; weight 24-38 g. The Black-tufted Gerbil is a relatively large species with naked soles and large ears. Pelage is long and soft, and has grayish-fawn color on back, becoming more brown on cheeks and flanks, and pure white on ventral part, as well as on forelimbs and feet. Tail is relatively long (c.145% of head-body length), densely haired, and has well-developed tuft of black hairs.
Habitat. Rocky hills with low vegetation, Euphorbia (Euphorbiaceae) bush or Acacia (Fabaceae) thicket, edges of cultivated fields, fallow fields and gardens.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. No information.
Activity patterns. The Black-tufted Gerbil is nocturnal and terrestrial, and probably uses burrows of other rodent species.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. The Black-tufted Gerbil is thought to be social.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List because it may be locally abundant and no major threats are known. Geographical distribution is not well known.

(Fig.5)
Material. NIGP 174880b, female. Body well-preserved, antennae obscured with air bubbles, wings badly twisted, venation hardly distinguishable.
Remarks. The specimen NIGP174880b is identified as a member of Heteroichneumon by the numerous (ca. 20) flagellomeres, structure of notauli, fore wing without r-m, hind wing with 1-Rs rather long, nervellus broken below middle and 2-Cu present, ovipositor needle-shaped. In preserved characters the specimen is very close to H. rasnitsyni, but differs in larger body size: fore wing length 2.5 mm (vs. 1.7 mm in H. rasnitsyni).
The state of preservation of the specimen, especially almost indistinguishable venation, keeps us from describing a new species. Considering the significant size difference, however, we suppose that this specimen belongs to another species of Heteroichneumon.

Mesopotamian Gerbil
Gerbillus mesopotamiae
French: Gerbille de Mésopotamie / German: Mesopotamien-Rennmaus / Spanish: Gerbillo de Mesopotamia
Other common names: Harrison's Gerbil
Taxonomy. Dipodillus dasyurus mesopotamiae Harrison, 1956,
near Amiriya, W bank Euphrates River, SW of Faluja, Iraq.
Gerbillus mesopotamiae was treated as a full species based on morphological grounds by D. L. Harrison in 1972, Harrison and P. J. J. Bates in 1991, D. M. Lay and C. F. Nadler in 1975, and G. G. Musser and M. D. Carleton in 2005. Few genetic data are available. It is very similar in morphology to G. nanus and G. dasyurus. Monotypic.
Distribution. Valleys of Tigris, Euphrates, and Karun rivers in extreme E Syria, Iraq, and SW Iran.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 75-91 mm, tail 85-121 mm, ear 11-16 mm, hindfoot 21-25 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. The Mesopotamian Gerbil is a medium-sized gerbil having large feet with naked soles. Dorsal pelage is reddish brown to grayish brown, flanks are russet, and ventral part is pure white;lips, lower cheeks, and forelimbs also are white. Some black cheek patches are present below ears. Long tail is bicolored and lacks terminal pencil or tuft of long hairs. Karyotype is 2n = 52.
Habitat. Sandy hills and dunes between desert and river near cultivated fields. The Mesopotamian Gerbil is never found far from water.
Food and Feeding. No information.
Breeding. Pregnant females may be found throughout the year, and litters consist of 2-8 offspring (average 5-1). Young are naked and blind at birth; eyes open at 16 days and weaning starts at 24 days.
Activity patterns. The Mesopotamian Gerbil is crepuscular and nocturnal. Individuals have been seen to emerge at dusk from burrow systems, which are in communication with one another, and to move between them during the night. Burrows are dug in sparsely vegetated sandysoils, and are shallow in hard soil and deeper in soft soil; nests are in deepest part and made of plant material. Each burrow system has 3-5 (usually three) openings.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List. The Mesopotamian Gerbil may be locally abundant and can be found in anthropogenic habitats. Development of intensive and irrigated cultivation in region, however, could become a threatfor this species.

description: Katacephala Crawford
(Figs 20, 52, 80)
Diagnosis: Head and thorax covered in conspicuous setae; vertex large, convex; genal cones often indistinctly separated from vertex, often stout and contiguous along inner margin (Fig. 20); occipital sclerite as a strip, giving the eyes a stalked appearance; lateral ocelli raised on tubercles. Antennae not markedly longer than 1.5 times the head width; segment 3 the longest. Forewing rhomboidal or with narrowly rounded apex; with costal break and pterostigma; wing membrane from hyaline to somewhat coriaceous; veins bearing long conspicuous setae; vein M+Cu1 short relative to Cu1 (Fig. 52). Meracanthus short; metatibia without genual spine; with a crown of 6–8 apical spurs; metabasitarsus with 2 apical spurs. Male proctiger with a well-developed angular posterior lobe.
Biology and damage: Immatures of Katacephala tenuipennis Tuthill excrete waxy secretions in which they are covered. They cause the edges of leaves to curl down and inward to form a closed linear pocket where they live and develop (Mead 1990).
Host-plants: Myrtaceae and Asteraceae (Hodkinson 1991; Burckhardt 1994a).
Distribution: Southern United States, Central and South America (Hodkinson 1989).
Remarks: This is the first record of this genus in Colombia.

description: En el texto se analiza la vejez, según se describe caracteriza por diversas dificultades socioeconómicas y barreras de acceso a la salud. Aunque la esperanza de vida ha aumentado, muchos adultos mayores carecen de recursos económicos y redes de apoyo que les permitan gozar de una vida digna. En Ecuador, se reconoce como adultos mayores a las personas de 65 años en adelante. Los resultados revelan que la mayoría de los adultos mayores no tienen acceso a ingresos propios ni jubilación, lo que los hace dependientes de apoyos gubernamentales y sociales. Además, factores como la discriminación, el aislamiento social y las barreras geográficas limitan su acceso a servicios de salud adecuados, un alto porcentaje de adultos mayores obtiene ayudas de varias instituciones, se destaca la necesidad del acceso a actividades remuneradas acordes a sus capacidades, así como un respaldo sólido de programas sociales para mejorar su calidad de vida.

Diagnosis: Head wider than mesoscutum; vertex usually with ridges along median suture and on the sides; genae swollen below antennae forming tubercles directed outward and upward. Antennal segments slightly expanded apically; segments 3–8 of subequal length; terminal setae subequal and usually longer than segments 9 and 10 together. Forewing often broadly pyriform, sometimes elongate, apex rounded or truncate. Meracanthus short, broad and pointed. Metatibia without genual spine and with a crown of unsclerotised apical spurs and often with similar spurs along the length of the tibia; metabasitarsus with two apical spurs, sometimes very small or absent.
Biology and damage: According to Malenovský et al. (2007) effects on the host-plant “range from a simple distortion of the leaves to the formation of structurally complex galls.”
Host-plants: Sapindales and Apocynaceae (Hollis 2004; Malenovský & Burckhardt 2009).
Distribution: Pantropical (Hodkinson 1989; Yang et al. 2009).
Remarks: This genus was not found in the examined collections but it is recorded from Colombia by Hodkinson (1989). The genus is widely distributed in tropical South America but most species are undescribed (Ouvrard 2017; NHMB data).

Taxonomy. Gerbillus (Dipodillus) poecilops Yerbury & Thomas, 1895,
Lahej, Aden, Yemen.
An Arabian endemic, G. poecilops was con- sidered a valid species by D. L.. Harrison and P. J. J. Bates in 1991 and by I. Ya. Pavlinov and team in 1990. A chromosomal study by V. T. Volobouev and colleagues in 1995 showed that G. poecilops, G. nanus, and G. henleyi share a common ancestor, with G. poecilops the basal taxon. Monotypic.
Distribution. SW Saudi Arabia and W Yemen.
Descriptive notes. Head-body 150-222 mm,tail 72-115 mm, ear 8-12 mm, hindfoot 21-27 mm. No specific data are available for body weight. This rather large gerbil has a short and broad tail lacking terminal pencil of hairs. Soles of hindfeet are naked.
Dorsal pelage is fawn to gray and underside pure white. Chromosomal complement has 2n = 52, FNa = 62.
Habitat. Coastal mountain ranges of Red Sea. The Large Aden Gerbil may be found in cultivated fields of cotton and sorghum and in farm buildings, as well as in sandy desert close to villages and houses.
Food and Feeding. The Large Aden Gerbil feeds on vegetable matter.
Breeding. Breeding may occur in spring and in summer.
Activity patterns. The Large Aden Gerbil is probably nocturnal and terrestrial, digging burrows.
Movements, Home range and Social organization. No information.
Status and Conservation. Classified as Least Concern on The IUCN Red List owing to its ability to live close to anthropogenic habitats.
