Comportamento de oviposição e tempo de desenvolvimento de Brachymeria villosa (Oliver) (Hymenoptera, Chalcididae)

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Oviposition behavior and developrnent time of Brachymeria villasa (Oliver) (Hyrnenoptera, Chalcididae). The oviposilion behavior and development lime 01' Bl'achymel'ia vil/asa (Oliver, 1790) on T/ypaxylalJ albilal'se Fabrieius, 1804 (Spheeidae) is reporled. The parasilism oeeurs lhrough a little hole made by lhe parasitoid female in lhe host nesl wall. This hole is lIsed by lhe parasitoid oft'spring anel' ilS emergenee LO letllhe host nesl. The parasiloid egg is laid on lhe hOSl larva bcfore il buill ilS eoeoon. when slIeh slruelure is made lhe parasitoid egg hateh inlo a larva lhat feeds on lhe living hosllarva and lhe parasiloid growlh enclosed in lhe hOSl cocoon wilholll build ilS own. The developmenllime 01' B. vil/asa was 65 days. From two nest 01' T albilal'se were reared 12 fcmaJes and one male 01' B. vil/asa.

Record of parasitoidism in nests of the primitively social wasp Zethus miniatus Saussure, 1858 (Hymenoptera, Vespidae)

“…In Brazil, there are records of parasitoidism in flies from the Sarcophagidae and Calliphoridae families (Marchiori et al 2003), and in several Lepidoptera, such as Thyrinteina leucocerae (Rindge, 1961) (Lepidoptera: Geometridae) (Zaché et al 2012) and Historis odius (Fabricius, 1775) (Nymphalidae) (Gil-Santana & Tavares 2005). In relation to Hymenoptera, some genera and species have already been reported being parasitized, such as: Trypoxylon Latreille, 1796 (Crabronidae) (Peruquetti 2001); and Leipomeles spilogastra (Cameron, 1912) (Vespidae) (Somavilla et al 2015). However, this is the first record of this genus parasitizing Eumeninae/Zethinae.…”

Hyperparasitoids of polysphinctine Darwin wasps (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) in South America

“…For example, species of the genus have been reared from nests built by Trypoxylon Latreille (Crabronidae), Sceliphron Klug (Sphecidae) and Auplopus Spinola (Pompilidae) (Andrade & Tavares 2009; Perioto & Lara 2018), but only a species of Trypoxylon [ T. albitarsi Fabricius, 1804] has been confirmed as host of Ceyxia [ Ce. villosa (Olivier, 1890)] (Peruquetti 2001).…”

FIRST RECORD OF Brachymeria podagrica (HYMENOPTERA: CHALCIDIDAE) AS PARASITOID OF Peckia collusor (DIPTERA: SARCOPHAGIDAE)

“…Most species are solitary endoparasitoids with a koinobiont strategy. This allows the host to continue its development while feeding upon it, the female ovipositing within the larval stages of the host while the adult emerges from the pupa (Roberts, 1933;Dowden, 1935;Peruquetti, 2001;Couri et al, 2006).…”
