Ormyridae (Chalcidoidea, Hymenoptera)
Having discovered a paper written by Zerova & Seryogina (2005) entitled Review of Palearctic Ormyridae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) with description of two new species I decided to produce an illustrated key just for our four species. Having done this I sought the permission of one of the authors (M.D.Zarova) to publish this on my website and she was happy for me to do so. So if you have some specimens of this family do have a go with the key, published at https://sites.google.com/site/mikesinsectkeyshymenoptera/Home/hymenoptera/apocrita-parasitica/keys-to-superfamily-chalcidoidea.
Histeridae (Coleoptera)
While checking the identification of some other beetles for a research project in Ireland I had a bit of time left so looked over the specimens of Histeridae curated by the Hampshire Cultural Trust's entomology department at Winchester. This resulted in my being able to clarify some of the couplets in the Histeridae key so this has been updated.
