Comparative abundance and diversity of Dryininae (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae) in three savannah phytophysiognomies in southeastern Brazil, under three sampling methods

New record of the rare Gonatopus mariae Martins, Lara, Perioto & Olmi, 2015 (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae) for the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil

“…Of all the collection methods, the most effective traps to collect dryinids are yellow pan traps, interceptation traps, sweep nets and Malaise traps. However, females of Gonatopus are apterous and more frequently collected using sweeping techniques, being rarely collected with Malaise traps and Malaise Dossel (Martins 2013, Versuti et al 2014, Olmi and Virla 2014, Martins and Domahovski 2017a, 2017b. More collections should be performed with different traps, primarily the most efficient for the dryinids and especially for genus Gonatopus to sample the diversity and distribution of this genus in Brazil (Martins et al submitted).…”

“…This genus comprises 12 groups of species: 9 groups for the Neotropical region, 5 of them in Brazil, of which "Group-seven" is the most diverse, comprising 61 species (Olmi and Virla 2014). In the last 40 years, the Dryinidae of Brazil were studied mainly by Olmi (1984Olmi ( , 1991Olmi ( , 2011, Coelho et al (2011), Martins (2013), Olmi and Virla (2014), Versuti et al (2014), Martins (2015Martins ( , 2018aMartins ( , 2018b, Martins et al (2015aMartins et al ( , 2015b, Martins and Krinski (2016), Domahovski (2017a, 2017b), and Martins et al (submitted). Most species of Dryinidae are rare and usually only a few specimens are collected.…”

The Chrysidoidea Wasps (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) in Conventional Coffee Crops and Agroforestry Systems in Southeastern Brazil

“…These wasps are parasitoids and predators of Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera), and as many of the host species are considered pests in agriculture, the Dryinidae are considered beneficial insects (Guglielmino et al, 2013;Martins et al, 2020). There are some studies about records, descriptions of new species and associated hosts of Dryinidae fauna in different habits in Brazil, including Atlantic forest, Amazon forest and Cerrado savanna, but none of them focus on agroforestry systems (Martins, 2015(Martins, , 2018(Martins, , 2019Martins & Krinski, 2016;Martins & Domahovski, 2017a, b;Versuti et al, 2014;Martins et al, 2015aMartins et al, , b, 2020.…”

New records of Pelecinus polyturator (Drury) (Hymenoptera: Proctotrupoidea: Pelecinidae) for Brazil

“…According to , for a more robust sampling, long-term studies and successive sampling can be an effective strategy to collect P. polyturator. With Malaise traps surveys, some long-term sampling in the same sampling area proved to be effective for capturing uncommon Hymenoptera families, such as Chrysididae, Dryinidae, Monomachidae and Sclerogibbidae (Lucena et al 2012;Versuti et al 2014;Perioto et al 2016;Fernandes et al 2017).…”
