Apologies for cross-postings.

Dear Colleagues,

Let me draw your attention to a new book. Hope it will be of interest to
some of you.

KARYOTYPES OF PARASITIC HYMENOPTERA
V. E. Gokhman

Moscow: KMK Scientific Press Ltd., 2005. 185 p., ill. (in Russian with
English summary).

This is the first monograph on karyotype structure and chromosomal evolution
of parasitic Hymenoptera. It summarizes the results of chromosomal analysis
of various groups of parasitic wasps using routine and differential
chromosome staining. Karyotypic features of the majority of superfamilies
and families as well as many lower taxa of parasitic Hymenoptera are
demonstrated. Plesiomorphic and apomorphic character states of chromosome
sets of parasitic wasps are shown. Structural features of karyotypes used
for identifying and discriminating sibling species and similar forms are
listed.

With my best wishes for the coming year,
Vladimir E. Gokhman
