Abstract: The presence of the parasitic wasp Horismenus liturgusae Hansson & Schoeninger, 2014 is recorded for the first time in Ecuador. This new record significantly expands the known distributional range of the species by more than 2000 km west of its type locality in Manaus, Brazil. In addition, the Neotropical bark mantid Liturgusa maya Saussure & Zehntner, 1894 is reported as a host, and Horismenus specimens were reared from the mantids ootheca.

New records of aphid parasitoids (Hymenoptera) from Colombia https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/30831/ Check List 15(6): 1083-1091

DOI: 10.15560/15.6.1083

Authors: Laura Marcela Martínez-Chávez, Diana Nataly Duque-Gamboa, Nelson Toro-Perea

Abstract: Aphid parasitoids have been recorded in many countries around the globe, however records in Colombia are few. Here, five primary parasitoids species, Aphidius platensis Brèthes, 1913, Aphidius funebris Mackauer, 1961, Aphidius matricariae Haliday, 1834, Aphelinus varipes (Förster, 1841), Aphelinus paramali Zehavi & Rosen, 1989, and two hyperparasitoids species, Syrphophagus aphidivorus (Mayr, 1876) and Pachyneuron aphidis (Bouché, 1834) are newly recorded in Colombia. Two other primary parasitoids, Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson, 1880) and Aphidius colemani Viereck, 1912 are newly recorded from the department of Valle del Cauca.

First record of Conura (Conura) maculata (Fabricius, 1787) (Hymenoptera, Chalcididae) parasitizing Opsiphanes invirae amplificatus Stichel, 1904 (Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae) in the province of Corrientes, Argentina https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/25685/ Check List 14(6): 1155-1159

DOI: 10.15560/14.6.1155

Authors: Paula Belén Gervazoni, Manuel Osvaldo Arbino

Abstract: We report the first record of Conura (Conura) maculata (Fabricius, 1787) in the province of Corrientes, Argentina. A total of 85 adult wasps of C. maculata were obtained from 3 chrysalides of Opsiphanes invirae amplificatus Stichel, 1904, a lepidopteran pest of native and exotic palm trees. This is the first report of the occurrence of this parasitoid in the province of Corrientes, extending this species’ known distribution in the country. This is also the first report of the parasitoid-host interaction between these 2 species for Argentina.

Spalangia leiopleura Gibson, 2009 (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae): first record from Brazil https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/14989/ Check List 13(4): 71-74

DOI: 10.15560/13.4.71

Authors: Barbara S Juliato, Matheus A Siqueira, Valmir A Costa

Abstract: Spalangia leiopleura Gibson, 2009 (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) is reported for the first time from Brazil. One female was collected using a Möricke trap at the Reserva Biológica do Jaíba, municipality of Matias Cardoso, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, on 19–22 May 2015. This species was previously known only from North America, between about 40° N in USA to Tamaulipas state in northern Mexico. Thus, our new record extends the known distribution of S. leiopleura southward about 7,300 km, and represents a new national record for Brazil and a new record for South America and the Neotropical Region.
