First record of Mymarommatidae (Hymenoptera) from Brazil

Abstract

ABSTRACT. Specimens of Mymarommatidae (Hymenoptera) were collected in São Paulo and Espirito Santo states in areas with cultivation of Eucalyptus L'Herit. This is the first record to this family from Brazil KEY WORDS. Mymarommatidae, Hymenoptera, first record, Brazil Studying material from Malaise traps from two Brazilian localities were found Mymarommatidae specimens. Fewer than 200 specimens of Mymarommatidae have been collected on the world (HUBER 1987). There are only nine species, all in the genus Palaeomymar Meunier (YOSHIMOTO 1984).The sampling was done in a transitional area between an area of Brazilian savannah and Eucalyptus L'Herit (Myrtaceae) cultivation at Universidade Federal de São Carlos at São Paulo state and in a transitional area between forest and Eucalyptus cultivation at Espírito Santo state, both in Brazil. In São Carlos only one specimen female of Paleomymar sp. was found in 11.XI.1998 among all the insects captured in yellow pan-trap, during one year of study. From Espírito Santo only one specimen female was obtained toa from Malaise trap in 12.VIII.1998. The two specimens are deposited in the collection

Survey of Mymarommatidae and their occurrence in agricultural systems in Brazil

“…These findings add to the previous surveys conducted in Brazil ( Penteado-Dias and Braga 2002 ; Azevedo et al 2003 ; Bragança et al 2004 ; Santos 2010 ), resulting in 319 mymarommatids collected in this country. Our study reports for the first time the family Mymarommatidae in crops of C. nucifera, C. papaya, Citrus spp., and P. guajava.…”

“…In the Neotropical region, the insect was found in Argentina, in the Misiones Province, in the locality of Loreto ( Fidalgo and De Santis 1982 ). In Brazil, it was found in the Cerrado of Sao Paulo State, in the Atlantic Forest of Espirito Santo and in the Cerrado of Tocantins State ( Penteado-Dias and Braga 2002 ; Azevedo et al 2003 ; Bragança et al 2004 ).…”

Hymenoptera fauna, with emphasis on Ichneumonidae from an area of Caatinga in Northeast Brazil

“…n the order Hymenoptera, there are about 115 thousand described species, but it is estimated that this number can be greater than 250 thousand (Hanson & Gauld 2006). In the Neotropical region, 21 superfamilies and 76 families of Hymenoptera have been found (Fernández 2006), and 70 families have been cataloged for the Brazilian territory (Penteado-dias & BraGa 2002;oliveira et al 2020). Although the fauna of this order is estimated to have about 70 thousand species for Brazil (Melo et al 2012), only 10,456 species, distributed in 1,610 genera have been registered until now (oliveira et al 2020).…”
