“…With the completion of this phase of the Afrotropical Hymenoptera Initiative project, the taxonomic knowledge base of cynipoids in the Afrotropical region joins a similar knowledge base for the Western Palearctic and Australian regions, with modern keys to genera available for most cynipoid groups (Fergusson 1986, Forshage and Nordlander 2008, Melika 2006, Nieves-Aldrey 2001, Paretas-Martinez et al 2011, 2013). …”

“…A North American catalog of Eucoilinae (Forshage et al 2013) and an Australian catalog of the entire superfamily have been recently published (Paretas-Martínez et al 2013). The Australian region comprises 37 recorded genera: one each for Austrocynipidae, Ibaliidae and Liopteridae; two for Cynipidae; and 32 for Figitidae (Paretas-Martínez et al 2013). While ibaliids are species-poor (with 20 species) and largely confined to the Holarctic, the Liopteridae are relatively rare in all biogeographic regions with the exception of the Oriental region, which supports an unusually high diversity of Paramblynotus species (Ronquist 1995a, Liu et al 2007).…”

The Afrotropical Cynipoidea are represented by 306 described species and 54 genera in four families: Cynipidae, Figitidae, Liopteridae and Ibaliidae, the latter represented by a single introduced species. Seven of these genera are only represented by undescribed species in the region. Seven new genus-level synonymies, one genus resurrected from synonymy, 54 new combinations, one combination reinstated, and one new replacement name are presented. We provide identification keys to the families, subfamilies and genera of cynipoid wasps occurring in the Afrotropical region (Africa south of the Sahara, including Madagascar and southern Arabian Peninsula). Online interactive Lucid Phoenix and Lucid matrix keys are available at: http://www.waspweb.org/Cynipoidea/Keys/index.htm. An overview of the biology and checklists of species for each genus are provided. This paper constitutes the first contributory chapter to the book on Afrotropical Hymenoptera.

“…One deficiency in the known parasitoid assemblage on agromyzids in Australia is any records of parasitoids from the Eucoilinae (Hymenoptera: Figitidae), a subfamily with several species attacking agromyzids overseas. Gronotoma and Weldia are parasitoids of leaf-mining Agromyzidae, and both genera have been recorded locally (Paretas-Martínez et al 2013). Buffington (2002) noted that all Gronotoma species reared so far have been from agromyzids, indicating that Gronotoma domestica Girault and the other unnamed Gronotoma species known in Australia (Paretas-Martínez et al 2013) are likely to be parasitoids of agromyzids.…”

Potential for biological control of the vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza sativae (Diptera: Agromyzidae), in Australia with parasitoid wasps

The vegetable leafminer, Liriomyza sativae Blanchard, poses a risk to vegetable and nursery production in mainland Australia since established in Cape York in 2015. Effective control overseas depends on maximising the impact of natural enemies. Problems with polyphagous Liriomyza pest species typically result from the destruction of their parasitoids by excessive use of non‐selective insecticides. Field studies are reviewed to identify parasitoid species involved in the biological control of L. sativae in open‐air and glasshouse production internationally and to assess the current knowledge of parasitoids of agromyzids in Australia. Overseas, invading Liriomyza populations have frequently been exploited by endemic parasitoids (often found on non‐pest agromyzid species), and non‐crop hosts have played a role as reservoirs of these parasitoids. The few published Australian field studies on the occurrence of agromyzid flies and their parasitoids show a large community of wasps attacking agromyzids, with species mainly from the Eulophidae, Pteromalidae and Braconidae. The most abundant recorded species are two cosmopolitan eulophid species, Hemiptarsenus varicornis (Girault) and Diglyphus isaea (Walker), and four Australian species: two eulophid species, Zagrammosoma latilineatum Ubaidillah and Closterocerus mirabilis Edwards & La Salle, one pteromalid species, Trigonogastrella sp., and one braconid species, Opius cinerariae Fischer, for which there is little biological information. One deficiency in the known assemblage in Australia is the absence of parasitoids from the Eucoilinae (Hymenoptera: Figitidae), a subfamily with several abundant species attacking agromyzids overseas. The composition and impact of the endemic parasitoid assemblage in Australia on populations of L. sativae needs to be assessed adequately in the field before the importation of additional exotic parasitoid species is contemplated. Overseas, two species, D. isaea and Dacnusa sibirica Telenga, are reared commercially for augmentative biological control, although the relatively high cost of production has restricted their release to protected cropping situations. Knowledge gaps remain locally about the taxonomy, distribution, host range and life cycle of parasitoids, and their potential impact on L. sativae.

The Southeast Asian-native Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae), also known as "spotted-wing Drosophila", is one of the most globally invasive agricultural species. Although D. suzukii is a pest spread throughout all the Argentinian fruit-growing regions, few information has been published on its impact on local fruit production. Parasitoid species associated with D. suzukii in Argentina belong to Pteromalidae (Chalcidoidea), Diapriidae (Diaprioidea), both attacking host pupae, and Figitidae (Cynipoidea), which attacks host larvae. Nine Eucoilinae (Figitidae) species, belonging to Dicerataspis, Dieucoila, Euxestophaga, Ganaspis, Hexacola and Leptopilina genera, have been associated with D. suzukii in Argentina,. Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), commonly known as "med y", is native to Africa and has a worldwide distribution, covering many tropical, subtropical and temperate regions. In Argentina, C. capitata has been associated with several native hymenopterous parasitoids belonging to Braconidae (Ichneumonioidea), Eulophidae (Chalcidoidea), Pteromalidae, Diapriidae and Figitidae families. Only two eucoline species, Ganaspis pelleranoi (Brèthes) and Rhoptromeris haywardi (Blanchard) have been related to med y in Argentina. We report new trophic associations between the parasitoids Dicerataspis grenadensis Ashmead andLeptopilina boulardi (Barbotin, Carton and Kelner-Pillault) and D. suzukii, andbetween the parasitoid Odontosema albinerve Kieffer and C. capitata, after surveys conducted in Tucumán, northwestern Argentina. An annotated checklist and a taxonomic key of Eucoilinae associated with both invasive pests, in Argentina, is also provided.
