Contribution to the knowledge of the Neotropical Anteoninae (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae), with the descriptions of two new species and new records

Abstract

Two new species of Anteoninae (Hymenoptera, Chrysidoidea, Dryinidae) are described: Deinodryinus brasiliensis sp. nov., from Brazil (Bahia, Minas Gerais and Paraná) and D. mexicanus sp. nov., from Mexico (Chiapas). Comments on Lonchodryinus tricolor Kieffer, 1905 are presented and new geographic records are provided for the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Paraná. The key to the females of the Neotropical Deinodryinus is updated, and illustrations and distributional maps are provided for the species studied here.

A new species of pincer wasps of Deinodryinus Perkins (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae) from oceanic archipelago of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil

“…Deinodryinus species are recorded in several South American countries including several Brazilian states (Olmi & Virla, 2014;Martins, 2015;Martins & Olmi, 2021). In Brazil, specifically for the Northeast region, nine species are known and distributed in four different states (Table 1): five of them recorded for Bahia, two for Pernambuco, one for Ceará and one for Maranhão (Olmi & Virla, 2014).…”

“…Recently this scenario has changed and several species have been recorded and some of them have been described for different genera of Dryinidae for the Neotropical region including Brazil (Olmi & Virla, 2014;Martins et al, 2015aMartins et al, , b, 2020Martins, 2015Martins, , 2018Martins, , 2019Martins & Krinski, 2016;Martins & Domahovski, 2017a, b;Martins & Olmi, 2021;Martins & Perioto, 2021;Speranza et al, 2019;Olmi et al, 2020). Although the genus Deinodryinus is one of the most diverse in the Neotropical region with 114 known species, only 39 are recorded for Brazil, among which two, D. pratapolensis and D. brasiliensis, were recently described (Martins, 2015;Martins & Olmi, 2021).…”

“…Anteoninae Perkins 1912 is one of the largest subfamily of Dryinidae, with a worldwide distribution. It includes fossil and extant species (Olmi et al, 2019;Martins & Olmi, 2021). Currently, this subfamily includes seven genera, four of them extant and three fossils.…”

“…Currently, this subfamily includes seven genera, four of them extant and three fossils. In the Neotropical region, four of them are known: Anteon Jurine, 1807, Deinodryinus Perkins, 1907, Lonchodryinus Kieffer, 1905and Metanteon Olmi, 1984 (Martins & Olmi, 2021).…”

“…Deinodryinus Perkins has a worldwide distribution (Olmi et al, 2019;Martins & Olmi, 2021). It is the fourth most speciose genus of Dryinidae and comprises about 168 species in the world, 115 in the Neotropical region and 39 in Brazil (Martins, 2015;Olmi et al, 2019;Martins & Olmi, 2021). The hosts of this genus are Cicadellidae (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) (Guglielmino et al, 2013;Martins & Olmi, 2021).…”
