New host for the parasitoid Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) in Brazil

Effects of Host Age on the Parasitism ofPachycrepoideus vindemmiae(Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), an Ectoparasitic Pupal Parasitoid ofBactrocera cucurbitae(Diptera: Tephritidae)

“…Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) is an ectoparasitic idiobiont that exercises control over a great number of Diptera in the families of Tephritidae, Tachinidae, Sarcophagidae, Muscidae, Calliphoridae and Anthomyiidae (Marchiori & Barbaresco 2007). It is a solitary pupal parasitoid and a biological weapon against economically important tephritid flies including B. cucurbitae (Wang et al 2004), B. dorsalis and Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann) and several Drosophila (Marchiori et al 2002(Marchiori et al , 2003. It is one of the parasitoids most widely used for the biological control of Musca domestica (L.) and Stomoxys calcitrans (Linnaeus) (Meyer et al 1990;Petersen et al 1992).…”

First occurrence of Neralsia splendens (Borgmeier) (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) as parasitoids of <i>Cyrtoneurina pararescita</i> (Couri) (Diptera: Muscidae) in a rural area in Brazil

“…C. pararescita has previously been found to be parasitized by the following parasitoids: Nasonia vitripennis (Walker) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae), Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) [16], Paraganaspis egeria (Hymenoptera: Figitidae), Spalangia nigra Latrielle, Spalangia nigroaenea Curtis (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) and Triplasta atrocoxalis Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) [17].…”

Occurrence of Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani, 1875) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) as a parasitoid of Megaselia scalaris (Loew, 1866) (Diptera: Phoridae) in Brazil

“…Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani, 1875) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) is considered to be a solitary parasitoid that exercises control over a great number of Diptera in the families Anthomyiidae, Calliphoridae, Muscidae, Sarcophagidae, Tachinidae and Tephritidae. This species cosmopolitan has been found in North America and Africa (Rueda and Axtell, 1985;Marchiori et al, 2002;Marchiori et al, 2003;Carvalho et al, 2004).…”

“…Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae is considered a parasitoid of the pupae of a great number of Diptera, including species of Anastrepha, Calliphora, Ceratitis, Chrysomya, Drosophila, Fannia, Haematobia, Hylemya, Lucilia, Oxysarcodexia, Paratheresia, Phaenicia, Phormia, Poecilosomella, Peckia, Rhagoletis, Sarcophagula and Sarcodexia (Hanson and Gauld, 1995;Marchiori, 2000;Marchiori et al, 2000;Marchiori et al, 2002;Carvalho et al, 2003;Marchiori et al, 2003).…”
