First record of Conura (Conura) maculata (Fabricius, 1787) (Hymenoptera, Chalcididae) parasitizing Opsiphanes invirae amplificatus Stichel, 1904 (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) in the province of Corrientes, Argentina
Abstract:We report the first record of Conura (Conura) maculata (Fabricius, 1787) in the province of Corrientes, Argentina.

This is also the first report of the parasitoid-host interaction betwee… Show more
