“…The little that is known about Hymenoptera from Rio Grande do Norte is due to the occurrence reports in Eulophidae, Eurytomidae and Ichneumonidae (onody & Penteado-dias 2002;Fernandes et al 2012Fernandes et al , 2014a, of braconids and eulophids associated with fruit flies (araujo & zuccHi 2002;costa et al 2005), of parasitic braconids of the leafminer fly (araujo et al 2007) and of aphids (Macedo et al 2010). Some authors have made checklists, such as the species of Apidae (zanella 2000; silva 2014), Chrysididae (zanella & lucena 2014), Ichneumonoidea (sHiMbori et al 2014), Ophioninae (Ichneumonidae) (Fernandes et al 2014b) The Caatinga biome covers 10% of the Brazilian territory; with an area of nearly 844 thousand km² it is mainly located in the Northeast region of Brazil.…”

Abstract. The aim of this study was to carry out a survey of the fauna of the Hymenoptera families in an area of Caatinga in Mossoró, state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. The samplings were carried out with Malaise traps, active between 6th of February and 6th of March, 2007 and between 13th March and 14th April, 2008. A total of 5,057 Hymenoptera, belonging to 12 superfamilies and 36 families, were collected. The most abundant superfamilies were: Chalcidoidea (1,206 specimens/23.85% of the total), Vespoidea (886/17.52%), Ichneumonoidea (837/16.55%) and Platygastroidea (801/15.84%) and the most abundant families were: Platygastridae (801/15.84%), Braconidae (616/12.18%), Pteromalidae (583/11.53%), Figitidae (454/8.98%), Pompilidae (444/8.78%) and Formicidae (268/5.30%). The data obtained allow us to affirm that the Caatinga encompasses substantial family richness of Hymenoptera and that renewed effort is necessary to sample its fauna in a more extensive way.

“…Such records allow us to associate H. bicolor with Caatinga, Atlantic Rainforest and Brazilian savannah biomes; H. parallela with Atlantic Rainforest and Brazilian savannah biomes, and H. opaca with Brazilian savannah biome. Stage & Snelling (1986) stated that species of Heimbra seem to have a preference for xeric environments, which is not confirmed for H. bicolor and H. parallela, which also occur in wetter environments such as the Atlantic Rainforest (Stage & Snelling 1986;Fernandes et al 2012). The new distribution record of H. bicolor in a riparian forest such as the one presented here is important for a better understanding of the real distribution of this parasitic wasp.…”

“…Most species of Heimbra have a neotropical distribution, except for H. opaca, which extends further north reaching central and west regions of the USA (Stage & Snelling 1986;Fernandes et al 2012;Noyes 2019;Perioto & Lara 2020).…”

“…Heimbra is poorly represented in entomological collections (Fernandes et al 2012), and includes H. acuticollis Cameron, 1909, H. opaca (Ashmead, 1894), H. bicolor Subba Rao, 1978, H. nigra Subba Rao, 1978, H. pallida Stage & Snelling, 1986and H. parallela Stage & Snelling, 1986(Stage & Snelling 1986.…”

“…Until now, three species of Heimbra were known in Brazil, including H. bicolor for the Federal District and Rio Grande do Norte, Minas Gerais and Santa Catarina states; H. opaca for the Federal District and Goiás state, and H. parallela for Goiás, Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Paraná states (Stage & Snelling 1986;Fernandes et al 2012;Noyes 2019;Perioto & Lara 2020). Such records allow us to associate H. bicolor with Caatinga, Atlantic Rainforest and Brazilian savannah biomes; H. parallela with Atlantic Rainforest and Brazilian savannah biomes, and H. opaca with Brazilian savannah biome.…”

Heimbra bicolor Subba Rao, 1978 (Hymenoptera, Eurytomidae) was previously known in Mexico, Argentina, Paraguay, and Brazil, with records in Federal District and Rio Grande do Norte, Minas Gerais, and Santa Catarina states. Here, we newly report this species from the state of São Paulo based on three females collected at Estação Ecológica de Jataí, in the municipality of Luiz Antônio, São Paulo state, Brazil. Additionally, we provide a map with the geographical distribution of the species based on the new record and literature. This record increases the number of species of Heimbra known in São Paulo state to two species.

The objectives of this study were to carry out a survey of families of Hymenoptera, with emphasis on Ichneumonidae, in an area of Caatinga, and register the occurrence of new species, if any, for the biome. Samples were taken with Malaise traps between September and November 2008 in a native area of vegetation of Serra do Lima, municipality of Patu, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil. 7,562 hymenopterans, from 11 superfamilies and 31 families, were collected. The most abundant superfamilies were: Chalcidoidea (2,887 specimens / 38.33% of the total), Platygastroidea (1,572 / 20.87%) and Vespoidea (1,131 / 15.02%) which constituted more than 70% of the captured hymenopterans. A total of 160 specimens of Ichneumonidae from 17 subfamilies were sampled, of which four are new records for Rio Grande do Norte: (Lycorininae, Nesomesochorinae, Phygadeuontinae and Tryphoninae). Altogether, 26 genera were recognized, with 16 new records for the state. Cryptophion espinozai Gauld & Janzen (Campopleginae) and Labena marginata Szépligeti (Labeninae) were registered for the first time in Caatinga. The obtained data demonstrate a considerable diversity of the studied groups in this area and also affirms the necessity of additional studies to establish the richness of this fauna in a more extensive and conclusive way.
