Abstract: Os microhimenópteros são muito freqüentes em galhas de Cecidomyiidae (Diptera) e representam o principal inimigo natural dessa família de Diptera. Apesar de sua importância ecológica, pouco se conhece sobre a composição faunística dessa guilda de parasitóides em ambientes de Restinga. A coleção de micro-himenópteros do Museu Nacional abriga um grande número de exemplares coletados ao longo de 16 anos de coleta e identificados em nível de família. Inclui representantes de Aphelinidae, Bethylidae, Braconidae, El… Show more

“…We found hymenopteran parasitoids from several families in 20% of the gall morphotypes. Hymenopteran parasitoids are very frequent in Neotropical insect galls (Araújo et al, 2014a) and are among the main causes of galler mortality (Maia & Azevedo, 2009 Santos, 2006;Santos et al, 2010;Araújo et al, 2014b;Nogueira et al, 2016) and Asteraceae (Carneiro et al, 2009b;Fernandes et al, 1997;Malves & Frieiro-Costa, 2012) as the most important host families, which were also observed in the present study. Araújo et al (2014a) discussed that the main explanation for the high insect gall richness hosted by Fabaceae and Asteraceae in the Cerrado is its high number of plant species.…”

“…This is a surprising result as the frequency of parasitoids is higher than this value in all Brazilian inventories: 23% in Luiz Antô nio, SP (Saito & Urso-Guimarã es 2012); 31% in Guarapari, ES ; 35% in Tiradentes, MG (Maia & Fernandes, 2004); 48% in Bertioga, SP (Maia et al 2008); 60% in restingas of Rio de Janeiro (Maia & Azevedo 2009), 71% in Pirenó polis, GO (Araujo et al 2007), excepting by Porto de Trombetas, where the frequency of parasitoids is about 3% (Maia 2011). According to Fernandes & Price (1992), parasitism is higher in mesic habitats because of longer maturation and hardening of the gall; however, this was not observed in the present study.…”

“…The associated fauna can be very rich, as pointed by Maia (2001), Maia & Fernandes (2004) and Maia & Azevedo (2009), but it showed a very low frequency and diversity in Itamonte: parasitoids were obtained from 6% of the gall morphotypes, successors from a single morphotype, predators and inquilines were not found. This is a surprising result as the frequency of parasitoids is higher than this value in all Brazilian inventories: 23% in Luiz Antô nio, SP (Saito & Urso-Guimarã es 2012); 31% in Guarapari, ES ; 35% in Tiradentes, MG (Maia & Fernandes, 2004); 48% in Bertioga, SP (Maia et al 2008); 60% in restingas of Rio de Janeiro (Maia & Azevedo 2009), 71% in Pirenó polis, GO (Araujo et al 2007), excepting by Porto de Trombetas, where the frequency of parasitoids is about 3% (Maia 2011).…”

“…The micro-hymenoptera parasitoids are the most important natural enemies of gall-inducing insects, especially Cecidomyiidae (Maia & Azevedo 2009). In the restingas on the coast of Brazil the rate of parasitism can reach 60% of the galls (Maia 2001, Maia et al 2008.…”
