Himenópteros parasitóides associados a pupas de Methona themisto (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) em Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brasil

Abstract: ABSTRACT. Hymenopterous parasitoids associated to pupae of Methona themisto (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) in Florianópolis, Santa Catarina, Brazil. The goals of this study were to know the parasitoid guild associated to pupae of Methona themisto (Hübner, 1818), evaluate the relative abundance of each species of parasitoid and the effect of parasitism on the host mortality.

“…Caterpillars of Methona themisto are parasitized by Zigofrontina sp. (Diptera: Tachinidae), and several other parasitoids that emerge from the pupae (Nardi et al, 2006), however, it is unknown if the same chemicals that protect the caterpillars from attack by visually hunting predators are effective against parasitoids. Furthermore, whether the compounds involved in chemical protection against predation and are sequestered from the host plant or biosynthesized de novo remains to be investigated.…”

“…There are some records of Brachymeria spp. parasitising directly Lepidoptera pupae, such as Nymphalidae Tavares 2005, 2006;Nardi et al 2006;Tinôco et al 2012;Santos-Murgas et al 2019), Geometridae (Zache et al 2012), Saturniidae (Ramírez et al 2004), and Hesperiidae around Indonesia, India, Panama, and North and South Regions of Brazil (Salgado-Neto et al 2010;Erniwati and Ubaidillah 2011;Tinôco et al 2012;Gupta and Kalesh 2012;Gupta et al 2016;Santos-Murgas et al 2021;James et al 2022). The only information in respect of parasitism of Cynea is a report of the braconid Alphomelon xestopyga Deans, 2003 on larvae of C. irma (Janzen and Hallwachs 2009).…”

“…Pertence a esta subfamília a espécie Methona themisto (Hubner, 1818), comumente encontrada em locais urbanos nas regiões sul e sudeste do Brasil, embora ocorra desde o Pará até o Rio Grande do Sul (SILVA et al, 1968, apud NARDI et al, 2006. A alimentação de suas lagartas consiste exclusivamente em folhas de plantas do gênero Brunfelsia (Linnaeus, 1822), especialmente da espécie Brunfelsia uniflora, cujo nome popular é manacá-de-cheiro (NARDI et al, 2006).…”
