The female of Colocharis hungi Torréns (Hymenoptera: Eucharitidae) is newly described, detailing the characters that distinguish this species. In addition, we provide images and comments for C. hungi, diagnoses all species Heraty, a key to species, distribution map
Bradynobaenus diminutus Torréns & Fidalgo, sp. nov. and B. porteri (Argentina: La Rioja) are described illustrated. A revised key of the genus is provided.
ABSTRACT Capturing phylogenetic signal from a massive radiation can be daunting. The superfamily Chalcidoidea is an excellent example of hyperdiverse group that has remained recalcitrant to resolution. are mostly parasitoid wasps until now included 27 families, 87 subfamilies and as many 500,000 estimated species. We combined 1007 exons obtained with Anchored Hybrid Enrichment 1048 Ultra-Conserved Elements (UCEs) for 433 taxa including all extant over 95% 356 genera chosen represent the vast...

A new species of Limaytilla from Argentina is described and illustrated based on males, L. diaguita Torréns & Fidalgo sp. nov.. Diagnoses for both sexes the genus an key Argentinian are provided as well record data pampa Casal pehuenche Casal. Habitus photographs all orlandoi Cambra, Quintero Pagliano Chile, also provided.
Abstract Planidia are free‐living, mobile first‐instar larvae that notable in their ability to transition across different larval stages of host, and for completing development on the host prepupa as ectoparasitoids, effectively acting larval‐pupal external koinobionts. Chalcidoid taxa with a planidium form monophyletic group, planidial larva clade (PLC). We conducted phylogenomic study PLC using anchored hybrid enrichment data. Phylogenetic analyses support backbone relationship as:...
Abstract Several components of classical biological control (CBC) programmes are necessary to assess the success management strategy (e.g., post‐release monitoring) and also help prevent reintroductions or resurgences invasive species public awareness). Water hyacinth, Pontederia (= Eichhornia ) crassipes (Mart.) Solms (Pontederiaceae) is an aquatic plant naturally distributed in north‐eastern region Del Plata basin Argentina. In 1960s it was introduced into Dique Los Sauces reservoir...
Neolirata new genus (Eucharitidae: Eucharitini) is recognized based on males and females, with descriptions of eggs, planidia pupae. Redescriptions are provided for N. alta (Walker) daguerrei (Gemignani) (comb. nov. trans-ferred from Lirata) a description furcula sp. presented. Females deposit their eggs the underside leaves Pseudabutilon virgatum (Cav.) Fryxell (Malvaceae) Urvillea chacoensis Hunz (Sapindaceae). A key to species included.
Descriptions of the adults two species Dicoelothorax Ashmead, parviceps and platycerus, eggs, planidia pupae platycerus Ashmead are provided. Females deposit their eggs on underside leaves Pseudabutilon virgatum (Cav.) Fryxell (Malvaceae). The host is Ectatomma brunneum Smith (Formicidae: Ectatomminae).
Descriptions of the adults, eggs and planidia a new species Lophyrocera (Hymenoptera: Eucharitidae) from north-western Argentina (Tucumán) are provided. Females deposit their into fruits shrub Vassobia breviflora (Sendth) (Solanaceae). The host L. variabilis is an unidentified Camponotus Mayr (Formicidae: Formicinae).
Dioecious plants are obligate outcrossers with separate male and female individuals, which can result in decreased seed set increasing distance between the sexes. Wind pollination is a common correlate of dioecy, yet combined wind insect (ambophily) could be advantageous compensating for pollen flow to isolated females. Dioecious, ambophilous gymnosperms Ephedra (Gnetales) secrete drops (PDs) cones that capture airborne attract ants feed on them. Plant sugary secretions commonly reward...
Abstract Within the ant‐parasitic wasp family Eucharitidae (Hymenoptera), Kapala clade is a monophyletic group attacking Ectatomminae and Ponerinae. Members often express extreme phenotypic features, especially in morphology of paired frenal spines. Although means attack developmental history eucharitid wasps within ant nest are very similar, by which they oviposit optimize encounters their active first‐instar larvae with ants highly variable. The relationships life‐history strategies...
Pentatomid adults of the species Dichelops furcatus (F.), collected on stubble soybean, Glycine max (Linnaeus) Merril, in Santa Fe province Argentina, were found parasitized by two encyrtid wasp (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae). One encyrtids is described as Hexacladia dichelopsis Torréns & Fidalgo, sp. n., from both sexes, and other H. smithii Ashmead, recorded for first time D. Argentina. Both are gregarious endoparasitoids which carry out whole development (larval pupal) their living hosts; they...
Diagnoses for the genus Prototilla Schuster, 1949 based on males and females, new generic specific characters, descriptions of four species (Prototilla nigra Torréns, Fidalgo, Roig-Alsina & Brothers, sp. nov. P. intercalata males, striata telteca females) are provided. typhoctoides (Martinez Fritz, 1974), comb. is transferred from Eotilla. A comparative table between two genera tribe Eotillini a key to presented.
The Eotillini primarily occur in Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. This paper treats the Chilean species of Eotilla Schuster, 1949. In addition to E. mickeli 1949, six new are described, based on males: ferruginea Brothers & Torréns sp. nov., punctata setosa fidalgoi packeri nov. pallidipes nov.. previously unknown female is also described. distributions both genera their possible evolutionary history zoogeography as related uplift Andes Mountains briefly discussed.
