“…Nasonia vitripennis (Pteromalidae) was the most abundant parasitoid recorded in this study and clearly dominated the assemblages in spring and summer. Its host range is rather broad, including species in the genus Chrysomya (Calliphoridae), Peckia and Oxysarcodexia (Sarcophagidae) and Musca (Muscidae) ( Carvalho et al 2003 ; Marchiori 2004 , 2005 , 2006 ), and its predominance coincides with the highest number of blow fly species in the carcasses.…”

Insects are the predominant group regarding both species richness and abundance that develop on carrion. Among them, the most important decomposers using carrion as a source of food for their development are the immature stages of the dipteran families Calliphoridae, Muscidae, and Sarcophagidae. The large numbers of their larvae in carcasses are attacked by a rich community of parasitoids, including species of Braconidae, Ichneumonidae, and Pteromalidae (Hymenoptera: Parasitica). The objective of this study was describing the temporal composition and dynamics of a parasitoid community in relation to their dipterans hosts in carrion in terms of number of species and specific composition, irrespective of the particular interactions between species in both trophic levels. Additionally, seasonality of the climate in the region was investigated as a factor structuring the studied communities. The experiments were undertaken in the south of Cordoba, Argentina during 2004 in a rural area. Two traps per season were placed separately approximately 300 m from each other in the study site. Each trap contained a domestic pig (Sus scrofa) of approximately 8 kg as bait. Samples were taken daily during the first four weeks and then every two or three days over the following weeks until the end of the experiment. The dipteran community was represented by 15 species in 6 families of the Calyptratae Diptera whereas parasitoids belonged to six families of the parasitic Apocrita Hymenoptera. Climatic seasonality was an important factor in determining the number of occurring species in the carcasses and community composition. The highest number of species was observed in the spring for both communities.

“…On ber, this dipteran fly is known to forage both for pollen and nectar and thus it plays an important role in the pollination of ber fruit crop (Devi et al, 1989). The eggs and larvae of C. megacephala are parasitized by a number of parasitoids such as Brachymeria podagrica (Fabricius) (Chalcididae), Tachinaephagus zealandicus Ashmead (Encyrtidae), Nasonia vitripennis (Walker) (Pteromalidae) and Pachycrepoideus vindemiae (Rondani) (Pteromalidae) (Marchiori, 2004;Devi et al, 2010). In Punjab, this fly has been observed as a pollinator on many fruit crops including ber.…”

Surveys and surveillances were carried out in the ber growing regions of Punjab through fixed plot surveys in Fruit Research Farm, Punjab Agricultural University (PAU), Ludhiana, Punjab during 2018 and 2019 to record the emerging insect pests and their natural enemies. During these surveys, infection of a fungus was observed on the adults of blow fly, Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) occurring on ber plants in PAU, Ludhiana. This fly is economically significant as pollinator of fruit crops. The adult flies were observed to be dead and were covered with fungal mycelial growth. Later on, the fungus was identified as an entomopathogenic fungus, Cladosporium cladosporioides based on morphological and molecular characterization. This is the first record of infection of an entomopathogenic fungus, C. cladosporioides on this pollinator dipteran fly, C. megacephala from Punjab, India. Thus, the potential of C. cladosporioides for the control of other dipteran insect-pests of fruit crops can be explored.

“…The genus Brachymeria Westwood includes about 350 described species worldwide (Noyes, 2019), with 37 species in the Neotropical Region (Delvare and Huchet, 2017). Brachymeria species are significant parasitoids of calyptratae flies, such as Sarcophagidae, Calliphoridae and Muscidae (Marchiori et al, 2002a;Marchiori et al, 2002b;Marchiori et al, 2003;Marchiori, 2004;Marchiori and Silva Filho, 2004;Couri et al, 2006;Oliva, 2008). Most species are solitary endoparasitoids with a koinobiont strategy.…”

In this work, the wasp Brachymeria podagrica is recorded for the first time for Colombia, a solitary parasitoid of larvae of the Peckia collusor fly. Third instar larvae of P. collusor were exposed to outdoor ambient conditions for 6 hours in the garden of the Tecnológico de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia). 29 B. podagrica adults were obtained from the host pupae. Prevalence of parasitism was 14.5 %.
