The hymenopterous parasitoids of eucalypt longicorn beetles,Phoracanthaspp. (Coleoptera: Cerambycidae) in Australia

Abstract: The systematics of the hymenopterous parasitoids associated with Phoracantha spp. in Australia are reviewed. An illustrated key to species is presented to facilitate their identification as part of ongoing attempts for the biological control of P. semipunctata (Fabricius), an exotic pest on eucalypt trees. Information on the taxonomy, distribution and biology of 18 species of primary and hyperparasitoids associated with Phoracantha spp. are presented. A new braconid genus, Jarra, is described to accommodate th… Show more

“…(UQBA) is different to the species reared from P. semipunctata at Mt Crawford, S.A. and Black Mt., A.C.T. (ANIC, WARI) and discussed by Austin et al (1994). It is smaller in size, has a dark hind femur, and the annellus is a slightly different shape (I. D. Naumann pers.…”

“…This species does not easily run to any species in the key presented by Belokobylskij and Maeto (2009). It is similar to nukunu (Marsh and Austin) (Austin et al 1994) because of the expanded epicnemial carina but differs in color and by having the ovipositor shorter than the metasoma.…”
