The Brentidae of Israel (Coleoptera: Curculionoidea)
No full textThe six species of Brentidae occurring in Israel are reviewed, and an identification key and distributional maps are provided. Three species—Amorphocephala excantator (Damoiseau, 1964), Amorphocephala sulcata (Calabresi, 1920) and Eremoxenus chan Semenow, 1892—are newly recorded from Israel. Amorphocephala arabica Damoiseau, 1964 is considered a junior synonym of Amorphocephala sulcata (Calabresi, 1920).

Review of the genus Elasmus Westwood (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) in Israel with description of a new species
No full textA review of the genus Elasmus Westwood (Eulophidae) in Israel is presented for the first time. Twelve species are included and keyed, 11 of which are newly recorded from Israel. Elasmus aternalis is described as new to science. The most common species are E. flabellatus (Fonscolombe), E. nudus (Nees), E. viridiceps Thomson and E. westwoodi Giraud. Elasmus africanus Ferriere is a rare species and Israel is the third country in which it was collected.

Metoecus paradoxus (Linnaeus, 1760) (Coleoptera: Ripiphoridae), a new species for the fauna of Israel
No full textThe Ripiphoridae (wedge-shaped beetles) contain approximately 450 species worldwide. Like the Meloidae, many wedge-shaped beetles are hypermetamorphic parasitoids. The majority of them attack wasps and bees whilst others attack cockroaches and beetles (Ptinidae and Cerambycidae) (Batelka et al. 2018). The first record of a ripiphorid species from Israel was published by Sahlberg (1912), who reported that Ptilophorus dufourii (Latreille, 1817) was collected at Dayr Aban (a village East of Bet Shemesh, Judean Hills) by Unio Saalas. Pic (1927) mentioned Pterydrias debilis Reitter, 1895, and Bodenheimer (1937) records two species for Israel, Macrosiagon bimaculata (Fabricius, 1787) and Macrosiagon ferruginea (Fabricius, 1781). Argaman and Mendel (1988) reported two Ripiphoridae species as new for Israel, Ripidius vaulogeri Chobaut, 1893 and Evaniocera dufouri Latreille, 1817, but the latter had been already published by Sahlberg (1912). Chikatunov et al. (2006) added Macrosiagon praeusta (Gebler, 1829) and Ripiphorus subdipterus Bosc, 1792 to the list of Israeli wedge-shaped beetles. Metoecus paradoxus (Linnaeus, 1760), commonly referred to as ‘the wasp nest beetle’, is hereby recorded in Israel for the first time. On the 23rd of June 2018 a large nest of Vespula germanica (Fabricius, 1793) was removed by the second author from the vicinity of Merom Golan (a kibbutz at the Golan Heights in the northern part of Israel; 33°08'N 35°46'E). The ruined nest was then exposed to pesticides. Near the nest a female of M. paradoxus was observed. Soon afterward a search inside the ruined nest yielded dead and still alive adults and pupae of M. paradoxus. In total, 33 specimens of M. paradoxus were found: nine pupae and seven newly hatched adults (five females and two males) were found inside closed cells, and 16 adults (14 females and three males) were found freely in the nest. A male and three females were found alive. The living females were observed and photographed while laying eggs on different parts of the nest. A pair of adults is currently deposited at the collection of the first author, housed at the Steinhardt Museum of Natural History, Tel Aviv University.

A new species of the genus Mogulones Reitter (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) from Israel
No full textA new species, Mogulones chikatunovi, is described from Israel, and compared with the close Euromediterranean M. andreae (Germar, 1823) and Western Palaearctic M. larvatus (A. Schultze, 1897).

Distribution of two Epomis species (Carabidae, Chlaeniini) in Israel, with notes on their habitat
No full textThe records of Epomis dejeani Dejean, 1831 and E. circumscriptus (Duftschmid, 1812) in Israel are summarized and their geographical distribution is described. The two Epomis species are mainly found in the northern and central parts of Israel, but also extend southward to the Central Negev region and Arava Valley. Museum records combined with the present survey data suggest a relatively wide albeit patchy distribution of Epomis in Israel. Whereas the records suggest that E. dejeani is relatively more abundant than E. circumscriptus in Israel, records for other regions in the Palaearctic Region suggest the opposite. However, at least in Italy, E. circumscriptus is rare and recommended for listing as a critically endangered species. In none of the surveys conducted in Israel over four consecutive years were the two species recorded from the same site. None of the habitat parameters examined (vicinity to a water body; soil moisture; vegetation cover; presence of amphibians, or soil type) revealed any prominent difference in habitat choice by the two species. Epomis larvae feed exclusively on amphibians, and indeed we found the beetles sharing their habitat with amphibians during the beetles’ breeding period. In conclusion, in the absence of either a physical barrier or any apparent habitat difference, the segregation of the species to different sites may be a case of sympatric species that do not occur at the same sites.

Head lice (Phthiraptera: Pediculidae: Pediculus humanus capitis) infestations in children and adults in Israel
No full textHead lice infestation is a public health challenge even in developed nations, and 4–14-year old children are most affected; information regarding the infestation rates of adults in developed countries is scarce. An Internet-based survey on lice infestation was distributed to mothers in Israel and their responses were analyzed. Out of 959 responders, 895 (93.3%) were mothers (73.7% with >12 years of education). Mothers were more often infested (59.2%) and more likely (3 times or more) to be infested during adulthood, compared to fathers or other family adults. Mothers of three or more children were infested more often than those with 1 or 2 children. Mothers who reported professional contact with children other than their own (child care staff, teachers etc.) were infested significantly more often than those who did not report such contact. In families with more than one child, the eldest sibling was infested significantly more often than his/her brothers and/or sisters. In families in which the eldest child was infested at least once, the subsequent children were significantly more often infested than children in families, where the eldest child was never infested. In 67.4% of families with children of both genders, girls were infested more often than boys; in 42.1% of all-boy families with more than one boy, one of the boys was infested more often than his brothers, while in 47.6% of the all-girl families with more than one girl, one of the girls was infested more often than others. Responsibility for head lice treatment rested primarily on the mother (78%); in 18.8% of families it was shared by both parents. A relatively large proportion of highly educated mothers from a developed country such as Israel self-report head lice infestation during adulthood. The article lists a series of recommendations for health care and education authorities and professionals, academic institutions, pharmaceutical companies and parents, aiming to diminish the national prevalence of head lice infestation.
