“…En el presente trabajo se reporta a la subfamilia Rhysipolinae que no ha sido registrada para Yucatán. Cauich-Kumul et al (2012) mencionan la existencia de 83 especies en 29 géneros en Yucatán de las cuales 62 especies son nuevos registros para todo el país. Por otra parte Coronado-Blanco & Zaldívar-Riverón (2013) mencionan que los estados con mayor número de géneros registrados son Yucatán con 194, Tamaulipas con 149 y Oaxaca con 136.…”

Echegoyen, C. 2014. Distribución espacial de bracónidos (Hymenoptera) reportados en el estado de Oaxaca. Acta Zoológica Mexicana (n.s.), 30(3): 564-594. RESUMEN. Se presenta un listado de 300 morfoespecies, de las cuales se determinaron 83 especies y 146 géneros de Braconidae en el estado de Oaxaca. Se analizó la distribución espacial de los bracónidos registrados y se georreferenciaron los datos. Elaborándose un Sistema de Información Geográfica con los datos de cada especie registrada en literatura y material depositado en colecciones científicas. Las regiones con mayor abundancia de géneros fueron Costa, Valles Centrales e Istmo y las subfamilias más diversas fueron Agathidinae y Doryctinae. Para la selva mediana subperennifolia, se registró el mayor número de géneros (81), entre los más representativos se encontraron Heterospilus, Opius y Bracon. En zonas con temperaturas cálidas se registró el 85 % de los géneros, incluyendo representantes de las subfamilias Alysiinae, Euphorinae, Doryctinae y Microgastrinae. El clima con mayor presencia de bracónidos fue el cálido subhúmedo y las subfamilias más abundantes fueron Doryctinae y Microgastrinae. En el clima semicálido subhúmedo se encontraron especialmente especímenes de Agathidinae. Los parasitoides se distribuyeron desde los 20 a 2900 msnm, pero el mayor número de registros se encontró a una altitud de 736 m y el género Heterospilus fue el mejor representado. Palabras clave: parasitoides, georreferenciación, Sistemas de Información Geográfica, Braconidae. 565 of braconids (Hymenoptera) records from the state of Oaxaca. Acta Zoológica Mexicana (n.s.), 30(3): 564-594. ABSTRACT. A list of 300 morphospecies of Braconidae from State of Oaxaca is presented, of these 83 species and 146 genera were identified. In the study the spatial distribution of braconid was analyzed, records and data were georeferenced. A Geographic Information System with the species recorded from literature and material deposited in scientific collections was developed. The regions with the highest abundance of genera were Costa, Central Valleys and Istmo, the subfamilies most diverse were represented by Agathidinae and Doryctinae. The vegetation with highest incidence of records was the evergreen tropical forest that included 81 genera, the most representative genera were Heterospilus, Opius, and Bracon. The distribution of Braconidae in warm temperatures represented 85 % of the genera, being the subfamilies Alysiinae, Euphorinae, Doryctinae, and Microgastrinae the most representative. The climate with major presence of braconids was the warm humid and the most abundant subfamilies were Doryctinae and Microgastrinae. In the semi-warm humid climate there were found especially specimens of the subfamily Agathidinae. The parasitoids were distributed from 20 to 2900 m of altitude, but the greatest number of records were found at the height of 736 m and the genus Heterospilus was the best represented.

“…However, Askew and Shaw (1986), Wharton (1993) and Hawkins (1994) argue that idiobionts species are less abundant in the tropics. Chay (1999), Cicero (2002, González (2002), Burgos (2003) and Chay-Hernández et al (2006), mention that koinobionts species increase according to the degree of habitat disturbance, which can be compared to the study of Restello and Penteado-Dias (2006) in Brazil, where they conclude that braconids are more abundant in areas with some degree of modification.…”

“…The RLBR is the only nesting site of the pink flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber L. ruber) in Mexico (Fraga 2006), with a high fish species-richness in the coastal area (Peralta-Meixueiro and Vega-Cendejas 2011) and a growing reported insect richness (González-Moreno and Bordera 2011, 2012, Cauich-Kumul et al 2014. Cué-Bär et al (2006) granted the RLBR and other Mexican areas with priority conservation status, based on the unique composition of tree species.…”

The species diversity composition and phenological behaviour of four braconid subfamilies (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Agathidinae, Braconinae, Doryctinae and Macrocentrinae) were monitored in three vegetation communities (dune vegetation, tropical deciduous forest and savannah) of the Ria Lagartos Biosphere Reserve (RLBR) in Yucatan, Mexico. Braconid wasps were collected with Malaise traps every 15 days over one year (June 2008 to June 2009). A total of 2,476 specimens were inventoried comprising 233 species and 63 genera. The composition of braconids and their lifestyles differed among the three vegetation communities studied. Doryctinae was the most diverse and abundant subfamily in RLBR (40 genera, 145 species, 990 specimens) and the tropical deciduous forest recorded the maximum abundance and diversity (H’= 4.1; alpha value= 1.059), with 61 exclusive species. Phenological sequence indicates an influence of the rainy season in braconid diversity, but its effects differed among braconid subfamilies and among the vegetation communities. Finally, the importance of the RBRL as a conservation site for this hymenopterous wasp is discussed.

There is no reason to believe that the other two publications in which Sharkey played a role in identification of specimens of Alabagrus (Braet 2002, Cauich-Kumul 2012 are any better, despite his being the world authority on identification of Agathidinae. The sole publication in which Sharkey did not play a role in identification was one dealing with the Brazilian fauna (Yamada et al 2006).…”

Twenty-nine species are treated, most of which have host caterpillar and food plant records, and all but one are new to science. The first host record for the agathidine genus Amputoearinus is given. Gnathopleura josequesadai Sharkey, sp. nov. is reported as a hyperparasitoid of fly larvae, the first such record for the genus. The following new species are diagnosed primarily using COI barcode data; Sharkey is the authority for all: Agathidinae: Aerophilus davidwagneri, Aerophilus fundacionbandorum, Aerophilus nicklaphami, Lytopylus davidstopaki, Lytopylus davidschindeli; Alysiinae: Gnathopleura josequesadai; Braconinae: Bracon andreamezae, Bracon franklinpaniaguai, Bracon rafagutierrezi, Bracon guillermoblancoi, Bracon oscarmasisi, Bracon pauldimaurai, Bracon shebadimaurae, Sacirema karendimaurae; Cheloninae: Chelonus minorzunigai; Homolobinae: Homolobus stevestroudi; Macrocentrinae: Macrocentrus michaelstroudi; Orgilinae: Stantonia gilbertfuentesi; Rhysipolinae: Rhysipolis stevearonsoni; Rogadinae: Aleiodes kaydodgeae, Aleiodes kerrydresslerae, Aleiodes josesolanoi, Aleiodes juniorporrasi, Aleiodes rocioecheverri, Aleiodes ronaldzunigai, Choreborogas jesseausubeli, Triraphis doncombi, and Yelicones mayrabonillae.
