New record of the rare Gonatopus mariae Martins, Lara, Perioto & Olmi, 2015 (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae) for the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil

Abstract

Gonatopus mariae Martins, Lara, Perioto & Olmi, 2015, described from the state of São Paulo, is recorded for the first time in the state of Espírito Santo, Brazil, representing the first record of the genus and species from the state. The specimen was collected with a Malaise Dossel trap and deposited at the Entomological Collection of the Universidade Federal do Espírito Santo (Brazil). A diagnosis and illustration of this species are presented demonstrating morphological variation of the type material. A distribution map is also provided. Gonatopus mariae is a rare species and its distribution is probably restricted to the southeastern region of Brazil.

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

“…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).…”

Revision of the Neotropical species of Pareucamptonyx Olmi (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae) with descriptions of new species

“…urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:4F86335D-39F4-4495-AE07-D7037E975D63 of the females are apterous, except the genera Adryinus Olmi, 1984, Echthrodelphax Perkins, 1903and Neodryinus Perkins, 1905 (Olmi & Virla 2014;Martins 2019). The species of this subfamily are associated with several families of auchenorrhynchous Hemiptera as follows: Acanaloniidae Amyot & Serville, Cicadellidae Latreille, Delphacidae Leach, Flatidae Spinola, Lophopidae Stål, Issidae Spinola, Meenoplidae Fieber, Nogodinidae Melichar, Ricaniidae Amyot & Serville, and Tropiduchidae Stål (Guglielmino et al 2013;Martins & Krinski 2016;Martins & Domahovski 2017a, 2017bOlmi et al 2019;).…”

“…We suppose that the specimens are occasionally collected when females are foraging near the trap. The most effective method to collect the apterous Gonatopodinae is by sweeping techniques, mainly over shrubs and grasses near the soil (Martins 2019).…”

The Chrysidoidea Wasps (Hymenoptera, Aculeata) in Conventional Coffee Crops and Agroforestry Systems in Southeastern Brazil

“…These wasps are parasitoids and predators of Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera), and as many of the host species are considered pests in agriculture, the Dryinidae are considered beneficial insects (Guglielmino et al, 2013;Martins et al, 2020). There are some studies about records, descriptions of new species and associated hosts of Dryinidae fauna in different habits in Brazil, including Atlantic forest, Amazon forest and Cerrado savanna, but none of them focus on agroforestry systems (Martins, 2015(Martins, , 2018(Martins, , 2019Martins & Krinski, 2016;Martins & Domahovski, 2017a, b;Versuti et al, 2014;Martins et al, 2015aMartins et al, , b, 2020.…”

“…There are some studies investigating the Chrysidoidea fauna in southeastern Brazil, most of them related to faunistic fauna associated with the Atlantic Forest, especially in the states of Espírito Santo, Paraná and São Paulo (Azevedo & Helmer, 1999;Azevedo & Santos, 2000;Azevedo et al, 2002Azevedo et al, , 2003Azevedo et al, , 2006Azevedo et al, , 2015Alencar et al, 2007). Others studies focused on the taxonomy of Dryinidae (Martins, 2015(Martins, , 2018(Martins, , 2019Martins et al, 2015aMartins et al, , b, 2020Martins & Domahovski, 2017a, b). However, the literature about Chrysidoidea diversity in agroforestry systems is extremely scarce in this region of Brazil (Nakayama et al, 2008).…”
