Annotated Checklist of Brazilian Ophioninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

Abstract

The aim of this study was to provide an updated checklist of the species of Ophioninae reported for Brazil. Were catalogued 86 nominal species of Ophioninae, of which 61 of Enicospilus, nine of Thyreodon, five of Stauropoctonus, three of Ophiogastrella and of Ophion, two of Alophophion and of Rhynchophion and one of Prethophion. Enicospilus, to occur in 19 states and, is the most widely distributed genus. The present study reveals that knowledge of the fauna of Ophioninae is incipient in Brazil, much of the country remains subsampled and should have priority in future studies.Lista Anotada dos Ophioninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) BrasileirosResumo. O objetivo deste estudo foi apresentar uma lista atualizada das espécies de Ophioninae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae) relatadas para o Brasil. Foram catalogadas 86 espécies, dentre as quais 61 de Enicospilus, nove de Thyreodon, cinco de Stauropoctonus, três de Ophiogastrella e de Ophion, duas de Alophophion e de Rhynchophion e uma de Prethophion. Enicospilus, por ocorrer em 19 estados, é o gênero com maior distribuição geográfica. O presente estudo revela que o conhecimento da fauna de Ophioninae no Brasil é incipiente, que grande parte do país continua subamostrada e deve ter prioridade em estudos futuros.

The Granulate Cutworm (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae): Biological Parameters Under Controlled Conditions, Host Plants, and Distribution in the Americas

“…Previous studies list several natural enemy organisms of cutworms, including F.subterranea . These organisms include microorganisms ( Jones 1918 , Crumb 1929 , Seaver and Waterston 1946 , Adlerz 1975 , Hamm and Lynch 1982 , Hamm et al 1986 ), predators and parasitoids ( Jones 1918 , Crumb 1929 , Sauer 1947 , Lima 1949 , Arnaud 1957 , Bravo 1958 , Silva et al 1968 , Adlerz 1975 , Guimarães 1977 , Saunders et al 1998 , Fernandes et al 2014 , Amiune and Valverde 2017 , Capinera 2019 ), bats (Dood et al 2015, Pinzari et al 2019 ), and birds (Genung and Green Jr. 1974). Supplementary long-term studies should be conducted in the field to assess the importance of these organisms to the population dynamics of F. subterranea under natural conditions (see Baudino 2005 , Pereira et al 2018 ).…”

Cutworms (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) in central Brazil Savanna: temporal distribution and association of species abundance with climatic and meteorological factors

“…Therefore, the exact composition of the cutworm community in each crop (especially before and after the preparation of the soil and seeding) may promote better soil management and the controlling of weeds that serve as alternative hosts (Leonard et al 1993). Moreover, several species of known natural enemies associated with cutworms, often shared among several owlet moth species (Jones 1918;Crumb 1929;Sauer 1946;Seaver & Waterston 1946;Lima 1949;Arnaud 1957;Bravo 1958;Silva et al 1968;Genung & Green 1974;Adlerz 1975;Guimarães 1977;Hamm & Lynch 1982;Hamm et al 1986;Saunders et al 1998;Fernandes et al 2014;Dodd et al 2015;Amiune & Valverde 2017;Pinzari et al 2019), may promote the use of conservative and augmentative biologic control practices.…”

Survey of the Hymenoptera Fauna in a "Caatinga" Area in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeastern Brazil

“…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. It is the only biome that is exclusively Brazilian and only nearly 2% of its territory is protected as preservation areas (leal et al 2005;IBGE 2014).…”
