“…2). This pattern of biased sampling near highways, rivers, coasts, and cities has been reported in several taxonomic groups (Hijmans et al, 2000;Kadmon et al, 2003;Reddy & Dávalos, 2003;Newbold, 2010;Santos & Hoppe, 2018), which is explained by the ease access, researchers' interest in certain areas or taxa, and limited financial resources. However, further studies are required to reduce this sampling bias by using different collection methodologies and accessing previously unexplored sites.…”

An overview of the ant fauna (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) of the state of Maranhão, Brazil

et al. 2019

The state of Maranhão, located in northeastern Brazil, comprises three biomes: Amazonian, Caatinga, and the Cerrado. To date, 99 ant species have been recorded in the literature from the state. In the present work, we provide for the first time a profile of the ant fauna in the state based on data from the historical literature and Brazilian institutional collections. The updated records on ant diversity for the state of Maranhão revealed a total of 279 species, belonging to 71 genera and 10 subfamilies. In total, 180 species are recorded for the first time in the state, of which four species recorded for the first time in Brazil. In summary, apart from documenting the ant fauna of the region, these results provide a basis for further studies and may contribute to future conservation efforts for the biomes present in this complex landscape.

“…Thus far, a total of 10 subfamilies, 30 genera and 49 species are listed for Uruguay (Yu et al 2016, Santos & Aguiar 2018, Santos & Hoppe 2018, Supeleto et al 2019): Anomaloninae (Parania Morley, 1913, Banchinae (Glypta Gravenhorst, 1829), Campopleginae (Campoletis Förster, 1869;Casinaria Holmgren, 1859;Diadegma Förster, 1869;Venturia Schrottky, 1902), Cryptinae (Aeglocryptus Porter, 1987;Chromocryptus Ashmead, 1900;Compsocryptus Ashmead, 1900;Digonocryptus Viereck, 1913;Dotocryptus Brèthes, 1919;Mallochia Viereck, 1912;Messatoporus Cushman, 1929;Neocryptopteryx Blanchard, 1947;Phycitiplex Porter, 1987;Trachysphyrus Haliday, 1836), Diplazontinae (Diplazon Nees, 1819), Ichneumoninae (Matara Holmgren, 1868;Thymebatis Brèthes, 1909;Trogomorpha Ashmead, 1900), Ophioninae (Enicospilus Stephens, 1835;Ophion Fabricius, 1798;Thyreodon Brullé, 1846), Phygadeuontinae (Chirotica Förster, 1869), Pimplinae (Calliephialtes Ashmead, 1900;Itoplectis Förster, 1869;Neotheronia Krieger, 1899;Pimpla Fabricius, 1804;Tromatobia Förster, 1869) and Tersilochinae (Stethantyx Townes, 1971), and among which, at least nine genera (Campoletis, Campoplex Gravenhorst, 1829, Casinaria, Diadegma, Enicospilus, Itoplectis, Ophion, Stethantyx [= Thersilochus] and Venturia) have economic importance as biological control agents in Uruguay (Bentancourt et al 2009).…”

Subfamily composition of Ichneumonidae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonoidea) from eastern Uruguay

et al. 2019

The knowledge of invertebrate diversity in Uruguay is much less as compared to bird and tetrapod fauna, but some important advances have been made within some groups of insects. The Ichneumonidae constitute one of the largest families in the animal kingdom. This family is important because their larvae can be either endo- or ectoparasitoids of larvae or pupae of holometabolous insects as well as Chelicerata. In this study ichneumonid wasps were collected from three environments near the city of Castillos, Rocha Department, Uruguay between December 2014 and December 2016. A total of 5740 Ichneumonidae specimens were collected, representing 19 subfamilies, of which 3685 specimens (64.2%) correspond to three subfamilies: Campopleginae (1533 specimens/26.7%), Ichneumoninae (1303/22.7%) and Cryptinae (849/14.8%) ; all others subfamilies together represented less than 7.0% of the total specimens. In addition, 32 genera were registered for the first time in Uruguay.

A taxonomic study of the species of the Darwin wasp genus Eiphosoma Cresson, 1865 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Cremastinae) from the department of Caquetá, Colombia, resulted in five new species being described: E. caqueta sp. nov. (Type locality: Curillo, Caquetá), E. eneke sp. nov. (Type locality: San Vicente del Caguán, Caquetá) E. interpunctum sp. nov. (Type locality: Solano, Caquetá,), E. rumi sp. nov. (Type locality: Florencia, Caquetá) and E. sinecarenatum sp. nov. (Type locality: Florencia, Caquetá). With this paper, the number of Eiphosoma species from Colombia increases from three to 16. Eiphosoma bogan Gauld, 2000; E. dentator (Fabricius, 1804); E. dolopon Gauld, 2000; E. fluminense Costa Lima, 1953; E. fuzhi Gauld, 2000; E. macrum (Enderlein, 1921); E. minense Costa Lima, 1953 and E. tantalium Gauld, 2000 are recorded for the first time from Colombia. A dichotomous key to the Colombian species is presented.
