Collections of parasitoids attacking the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura (Hemiptera: Aphididae), in South Korea yielded specimens that were originally identified as Binodoxys communis (Gahan) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). We report here on laboratory studies indicating that this population is actually a previously unknown species of Binodoxys. Four classes of comparisons were made between the Korean population and a Chinese population that also had been identified as B. communis. The comparisons included 1) mating trials coupled with behavioral observations and spermathecal examinations, 2) assessment of nucleotide divergence at two mitochondrial and two nuclear gene loci, 3) patterns of host use, and 4) reassessment of morphological characters. These studies revealed premating reproductive isolation of the two populations and minor nucleotide differences in mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase I sequences and nuclear internal transcriber spacer 1 sequences, providing strong indications that they are different species. Subtle morphological differences also were discovered that confirmed that the Chinese population corresponds to B. communis, whereas the Korean population does not. We propose the name Binodoxys koreanus StarÝ, sp. n. for the Korean population. The two species exhibited similar host ranges in the laboratory, the most notable exception being that B. koreanus, sp. n. is better able to develop in a population of Aphis craccivora Koch that harbors the bacterial endosymbiont Hamiltonella defensa Moran, which seems to strongly interfere with the development of B. communis. We discuss the implications of our results for biological control introductions against the soybean aphid in North America.

The present work covers original information on the aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) of Southeastern Europe. The individual parasitoid species were reared from identified host aphid and plant associations which are listed alphabetically. Twenty two aphidiine genera and 115 species from 208 aphid taxa occurring on 422 plant taxa were identified and 561 parasitoid-aphid associations are reported. The determined parasitoid fauna was divided into 9 faunal groups. Local information on some important biocontrol agents (Aphidius colemani Viereck) as well as on expansive/introduced species (Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson)) in the area are presented.

“…Dependent on the size of the aphid host, there is great variation in the size of emerged E. persicae wasps, with larger E. persicae specimens emerging from larger aphid hosts, and smaller E. persicae from smaller hosts. Furthermore, E. persicae populations show various uni-or bi-parental reproduction systems, depending on the geographical area: the Far Eastern (Starý and Schlinger 1967) and the Chilean populations (Starý 1995) display a uniparental reproduction system, which is not observed in any other Ephedrus species. The complex morphology and biology of E. persicae and its biotypes has resulted in extensive synonymisation (Gärdenfors 1986).…”

Does allometry account for shape variability in Ephedrus persicae Froggatt (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae) parasitic wasps?

We analysed linear measurements on various parts of the body and the configuration of 11 landmarks on the wing in a large sample of Ephedrus persicae that had emerged from 13 aphid host species, to assess whether static allometry (a measure of the scaling relationship between traits in a population of individuals at the same ontogenetic stage) accounts for variation in body shape. The analysed specimens came from several localities in Europe, Asia Minor, Japan and South America, and cover a large portion of the distribution area of E. persicae. We found that allometry accounts for variation in body shape among different biotypes within the E. persicae group. The allometric slopes for head size (HD), petiolus width (PETW), mesoscutum width (MSC), and ovipositor sheath length (OVPL) diverged significantly among biotypes, indicating biotype-specific allometries. The analysis of allometric variation in wing shape showed that the pattern and direction of allometric changes also differed among individuals that had emerged from different hosts. Our results (observed divergences in the directions of allometric slopes of particular morphometric traits and wing shape) suggest that allometric relations within E. persicae are not conserved, so that allometry itself changes, evolving differently in aphid parasitoids that emerge from different hosts.
