Genera of Belytinae (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) recorded in the Atlantic Dense Ombrophilous Forest from Paraíba to Santa Catarina, Brazil

Abstract

The parasitoid wasps Belytinae (Hymenoptera: Diaprioidea: Diapriidae)

New species of belytine and diapriine wasps (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) from Eocene Baltic amber

“…Leptorhaptus is currently regarded as a synonym of Cinetus (Masner 1964). Cinetus elongatus displays all the diagnostic characters of Cinetus provided by Quadros & Brandão (2017), especially the large anterior scutellar pit, the posterior extremity of notauli directed toward a point within the anterior scutellar pit, the marginal vein shorter than radial cell and slightly shorter than its distance to basal vein.…”

“…Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann, 1824) (Diptera: Tephritidae), Hippelates Gnats (Diptera: Chloropidae) species, Mangifera indica (L.) (Anacardiaceae) and Psidium guajava L. (Myrtaceae) and Coptera Say (Diapriidae) species were recorded as parasitoids of pupae of Muscidae, Drosophilidae and Lonchaeidae (Diptera). Some members of Diapriidae are solitary; many, such as Trichopria nigra (Nees, 1834) are gregarious endoparasitoids (Figure 7B) [7,8,9]. In Brazil reported Coptera haywardi Loiácono, 1981, parasitizing fruit flies on Eugenia uniflora L. (Myrtaceae) in Seropédica Rio de Janeiro reported species of Diapriidae parasitizing fruit flies associated with peach fruit Prunus persica L. (Rosaceae) in Presidente Prudente, São Paulo; Trichopria anastrephae Lima, 1940, has been recorded in the states of Rio de Janeiro, Minas Gerais, Goiás, and Santa Catarina parasitizing fruit flies and species of Trichopria have been reported in the states from Goiás, Minas Gerais, Rio Grande do Sul and São Paulo parasitizing scavenger flies associated with bovine feces (Figure 7C) [10,11,12].…”
