Survey of the Hymenoptera Fauna in a "Caatinga" Area in the State of Rio Grande do Norte, Northeastern Brazil

“…The little that is known about Hymenoptera from Rio Grande do Norte is due to the occurrence reports in Eulophidae, Eurytomidae and Ichneumonidae (onody & Penteado-dias 2002;Fernandes et al 2012Fernandes et al , 2014a, of braconids and eulophids associated with fruit flies (araujo & zuccHi 2002;costa et al 2005), of parasitic braconids of the leafminer fly (araujo et al 2007) and of aphids (Macedo et al 2010). Some authors have made checklists, such as the species of Apidae (zanella 2000; silva 2014), Chrysididae (zanella & lucena 2014), Ichneumonoidea (sHiMbori et al 2014), Ophioninae (Ichneumonidae) (Fernandes et al 2014b) The Caatinga biome covers 10% of the Brazilian territory; with an area of nearly 844 thousand km² it is mainly located in the Northeast region of Brazil.…”

Hymenoptera fauna, with emphasis on Ichneumonidae from an area of Caatinga in Northeast Brazil

“…It is the only biome that is exclusively Brazilian, but only 2% of its area is covered for environmental preservation (IBGE 2004;leal et al 2005). Despite its extent, knowledge of Hymenoptera biodiversity in this biome is still quite incipient; the diversity of genera and species of this order being known primarily due to the descriptions and reports of the occurrence of Apidae, Braconidae, Bethylidae, Chrysididae, Eulophidae, Eurytomidae, Ichneumonidae, Sclerogibbidae and Plumariidae (zanella 2000;onodY & Penteado-dias 2002;Penteado-dias & scatolini 2003;Fernandes et al 2012Fernandes et al , 2014bFernandes et al , 2014candena & carPenter 2014;BarBosa & azevedo 2014;sHiMBori et al 2014;silva 2014;zanella & lucena 2014;Bortoni et al 2016;lucena et al 2016;castro & Penteadodias 2017;Fernandes et al 2019).…”
