Ceraphronoidea, Platygastroidea and Proctotrupoidea from Brazil (Hymenoptera)

Abstract

Ceraphronoidea, Platygastroidea e Proctotrupoidea do Brasil (Hymenoptera) RESUMO -As vespas do "complexo" Proctotrupoidea (Ceraphronoidea, Proctotrupoidea strictu sensu e Platygasteroidea) são um grupo grande e diverso de Hymenoptera parasítica, relativamente antigo, com fósseis a partir do período Jurássico. Todos os proctotrupóideos são parasitóides ou hiperparasitóides de outros artrópodes, atacando a maioria dos grupos de insetos terrestres bem como centípedes e aranhas. O presente estudo resume o conhecimento desse complexo no Brasil. Foi listado um total de 221 espécies, distribuídas nas famílias Ceraphronidae (1), Megaspilidae (1), Diapriidae (84), Monomachidae (9), Pelecinidae (2), Proctotrupidae (12), Platygastridae (20), Scelionidae (92). As vespas desse complexo foram revisadas taxonomicamente, discutindo-se também, os registros fósseis, atualização da distribuição geográfica e os hospedeiros associados. PALAVRAS-CHAVE: Parasitóide, vespa, distribuição geográficaABSTRACT -The wasps of the "Proctotrupoidea complex" (Ceraphronoidea, Proctotrupoidea y Platygasteroidea) are a very large and diverse group of parasitic Hymenoptera. It is a relatively old group, with fossils from the Jurassic period. All of them are parasitoids or hiperparasitoids of other arthropods, attacking most groups of terrestrial insects as well as centipeds and spiders. The present study summarizes the knowledge of this complex in Brazil. A total of 221 species are listed; they are distributed in the families Ceraphronidae (1), Megaspilidae (1), Diapriidae (84), Monomachidae (9), Pelecinidae (2), Proctotrupidae (12), Platygastridae (20), Scelionidae (92). Taxonomy, fossil records, distribution and hosts are reviewed.

Parasitoids of Leptoglossus occidentalis Heidemann (Heteroptera: Coreidae) recovered in western North America and first record of its egg parasitoid Gryon pennsylvanicum (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) in California

“…One of the most common egg parasitoids of coreids is Gryon spp. (Hymenoptera: Platygastridae) (Loiácono & Margaría 2002;Maltese et al 2012;Marchiori 2013).…”
