“…El género Conura está compuesto por 305 especies (Noyes, 2016) con distribución en todo el mundo (Iziko Museums of South África, 2015). Por lo general parasitan pupas de lepidópteros (Marchiori et al, 2004;Tibcherani et al, 2016;Marcicano et al, 2007). Sin embargo, algunas especies se han registrado atacando coleópteros (Montes y Costa, 2011) y dípteros (Marchiori et al, 2004;Couri et al, 2006), o comportándose como hiperparasitoides sobre himenópteros de las familias Braconidae e Ichneumonidae (Mariau, 2001;Sakazaki et al, 2011;Tavares et al, 2019 El impacto de los insectos que atacan huevos de arañas es de gran importancia en su ciclo de vida (Wawer y Kostro-Ambroziak, 2016).…”

Insectos asociados a ovisacos de Argiope argentata (Fabricius, 1775) (Arachnida: Araneae) en Panamá

Las arañas son ovíparas, colocan sus huevos de forma agrupada cubiertos por una o varias capas de hilos de seda que forman un ovisaco. La cantidad de huevos dentro de estos ovisacos dependen de la especie de araña y secundariamente de la alimentación de la madre. Los ovisacos protegen los huevos de condiciones ambientales adversas y del ataque de hongos, sin embargo, resultan inefectivos contra algunos insectos. Argiope argentata es una especie de Araneidae que se distribuye desde Estados Unidos hasta Chile y Argentina, es relativamente grande y fácilmente reconocible por su coloración, genitalia y forma característica del abdomen. A pesar de ser una especie de amplia distribución, no hay información sobre los insectos que se alimentan de sus huevos. Se describen las interacciones ecológicas de depredación y parasitismo entre insectos y ovisacos de la araña Argiope argentata (Araneae: Araneidae) recolectados en tres localidades de Panamá. Por primera vez se reportan en huevos de A. argentata a la avispa endoparasitoide Baeus sp. (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae), los depredadores Sarcophaga (Mehria) silbergliedi (Diptera: Sarcophagidae) y dos especies de Cryptinae (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), una de las cuales pertenece al género Lymeon sp. Adicionalmente, se reportan tres especies del género Conura (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae): C. nigrifrons, C. amoena y C. abdominalis como parasitoides de pupas de Cryptinae (Ichneumonidae).

“…Hymenoptera parasitoids from the family Chalcididae (Latreille, 1817) are predominantly found alone, associated mainly with Lepidoptera and Diptera larvae, and some species present hyperparasitoid dynamics (TIBCHERANI; ARANDA; MELLO, 2016;NOYES, 2019). The representatives of this family are widely distributed, encompassing 87 genera and 1,464 known species (NOYES, 2019), but the total number of species is considered well higher, as it is a little-known group.…”

Chalcididae (Hymenoptera) Associated With a Semiarid Region in Bahia, Brazil

2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Chalcididae is a family of parasitoids with wide distribution and great richness, with almost 1,500 described species. Its diversity might be greater than that known today, mainly due to the few existing studies and its taxonomic complexity. Studies in semiarid regions are scarce and necessary to contribute to the biogeographic knowledge of the neotropical fauna. Therefore, the objective of this work was to record Chalcididae species that occur in the municipality of Barra do Choça, in the Semiarid region of the state of Bahia, Brazil. Five Malaise traps were distributed in two areas with native vegetation and an area with eucalyptus plantation, which were monitored monthly for two consecutive years. The insects were sorted and specimens of the family Chalcididae were identified at the species level, when possible. A total of 182 specimens from five genera (Aspirrhina Kyrbi, 1883; Brachymeria Westwood, 1829; Conura Spinola, 1837; Dirhinus Dalman, 1818, and Haltichella Spinola, 1811), and 18 species were identified and 32 were morphotyped. The genus Conura was the most abundant and the most diverse, with 12 species identified and 30 potential new species. The native vegetation presented higher abundance and higher taxonomic wealth, mainly in the area at initial stage of succession (capoeira). The eucalyptus area presented low diversity, with predominance of Brachymeria species. The species C. nigricornis presented the highest relative frequency. This study constitutes the first list of Chalcididae species in the Semiarid region of Brazil. The sampling carried out in the state Bahia showed an important diversity of Chalcididae species when compared to other regions of Brazil.

“…The Neotropical fauna is represented by 217 species (Delvare and Arias-Penna 2006) of which 63 have been reported in Argentina (Noyes 2017), where the genus Conura Spinola,1837 is the best represented, with 30 species (Noyes 2017). Conura are generally parasitoids of both larval and pupal stages of lepidopteran (Marchiori et al 2004, Marcicano et al 2007, Salgado-Neto and Lopes da Silva 2011, Tibcherani et al 2016), but also parasitize larvae of Diptera and other Hymenoptera (Stireman andSinger 2003, Couri et al 2006), Coleoptera (Montes and Costa 2011), and Neuroptera, or are hyperparasitoids of Icneumonidae and Tachinidae (Couri et al 2006, Sakazaki et al 2011. They are usually solitary parasitoids, but some smaller species are gregarious (Gates et al 2012).…”

We report the first record of Conura (Conura) maculata (Fabricius, 1787) in the province of Corrientes, Argentina. A total of 85 adult wasps of C. maculata were obtained from 3 chrysalides of Opsiphanes invirae amplificatus Stichel, 1904, a lepidopteran pest of native and exotic palm trees. This is the first report of the occurrence of this parasitoid in the province of Corrientes, extending this species’ known distribution in the country. This is also the first report of the parasitoid-host interaction between these 2 species for Argentina.
