| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [REGNUM] Chinese scientists have discovered a new species of fan-winged parasite in the Gaoligong Mountains in southwest China's Yunnan province, Xinhua news agency reported Feb. 10. Their findings were published in the international journal ZooKeys. The scientists confirmed that the parasites found on two wasp species (Vespa velutina and Vespa bicolor) belonged to the same species. After combining mitogenome data and morphological characters, this species was identified as a new species of the genus Xenos. “Currently, about 30 species of fan-winged parasites have been recorded in China,” said Li Xueyan , a junior research fellow at the Kunming Institute of Zoology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Combining three areas of biodiversity, including the Himalayas and the vast mountains of South Asia, the Gaoligung Mountains are home to about 17 percent of higher plants, about 30 percent of mammals and 35 percent of birds in China. |

| #2 ...Kinda interesting when you remember that the largest single group of parasitic lifeforms on the planet is...wasps. Something like 14,000 species that lay their eggs in other critters. Sleep tight. ;) Mike |
