“…However, the number, identity, and respective distribution of Campoletis species attacking S. frugiperda remain unclear and, therefore it is not possible to provide definite assessments of their climatic suitability. They are often abundant at high elevations, e.g., in Mexico (García-Gutiérrez et al 2013, González-Maldonado et al 2014. Campoletis grioti is the main parasitoid of S. frugiperda in subtropical Argentina, where pest populations are transient and, thus, may be suitable for climatically similar regions in other continents.…”

Fall armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith) is a polyphagous agricultural pest threatening food security worldwide. This American species recently invaded most of Africa, many Asian countries, and Oceania, where it mainly damages maize. Classical biological control (CBC) through the introduction of natural enemies from its area of origin is considered as a potential management approach. The paper reviews the prospects and constraints of a CBC programme against S. frugiperda using larval parasitoids, which are considered the most suitable natural enemies for introduction against this pest. The most important larval parasitoids in its native range are presented and discussed for their suitability as CBC agents, based the following criteria: their frequency of occurrence and parasitism levels, specificity, climatic suitability and absence of closely related species parasitizing S. frugiperda in the area of introduction. The ichneumonid Eiphosoma laphygmae Costa-Lima (Hymenoptera: Icheumonidae) is considered as a potential candidate for introduction because of its specificity and its importance as a parasitoid of the pest in most of its native range. The most frequent and important parasitoid of S. frugiperda in the Americas, the braconid Chelonus insularis Cresson (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), would most probably contribute to the control of S. frugiperda if released in invaded areas. However, it is oligophagous and would most certainly parasitize nontarget species. Before introducing C. insularis, or any other parasitoid species, the potential nontarget effects will have to be assessed and the risks will have to be weighed against the benefits of improving the natural control of this important pest.

“…El género presenta una distribución geográfica amplia registrando la mayoría de las especies conocidas en la región Paleártica y Oriental (Yu et al 2016). En el neotrópico, el número de especies registradas es cercano a 100 (Aguirre andShaw 2014, Yu et al 2015) mientras que, en México, aunque se habla de siete especies (Gutiérrez-Ramírez et al 2015), las que se registran con más frecuencia son Meteorus laphygmae Viereck y Meteorus arizonensis Muesebeck, debido a su asociación con Spodoptera frugiperda J. E. Smith 1797 (Gutiérrez-Ramírez et al 2015, Ordóñez-García et al 2015a,b, González-Maldonado et al 2020. Estas dos especies presentan una distribución geográfica similar, siendo más extensa la de M. laphygmae que abarca la región Paleártica en Canadá hasta el neotrópico en Chile (Yu et al 2016).…”

The fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda Smith (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) is the main pest that attacks maize crops in Durango, Mexico. For its biological control, it is desired to use the parasitoids of the Braconidae family; however, its identification is quite complex due to the lack of taxonomic keys that describe the complete morphological characters or are well-defined. It is necessary to study their genetic characters to estimate the variation within populations and species. For this, DNA extraction and amplification by PCR were carried out, as well as the sequencing of a fragment of subunit I of the cytochrome c oxidase (COI) gene. In Chelonus sp., morphological variability was observed between Ch. insularis and Ch. sonorensis, their genetic distances were conspecific, indicating that they probably belong to the same lineage. In Meteorus, taxonomically two species were found that had not been reported for Durango: M. laphygmae and M. arizonensis; however, the genetic distance between these and the species reported in the Genbank® could indicate that it is a single species. These results showed the high morphological and genetic variability in these braconids, probably due to evolutionary and climatic changes.
