A Bibliographic Summary on Hymenopteran Parasitoids Collected in Biomes in Brazil

Abstract

Our biomes and morphoclimatic domains are important not only as natural resources in our country but stand out as environments of great natural wealth on the planet. Parasitoids are exceedingly small insects that live for at least part of their life inside a host. This host is usually another insect (usually the pest of the crop) that ends up dying from parasitism. The aim of this study is to describe the parasitoids collected in Brazilian biomes. The mini review consists of a bibliographic summary of parasitoids of the Order Hymenoptera parasitoids collected in the following Biomes in Brazil. The research was carried out in studies related to the theme with emphasis on the quantitative aspects of the superfamily, family, subfamilies, genera, and species (Taxonomic groups). A bibliographic search was carried out that contained papers published from 2006 to May 2021.The mini review was prepared in Goiânia, Goiás from June to August 2021using the Electronic Scientific Library Online (Scielo) and internet. Brazilian biomes are important not only as natural resources in our country but stand out as environments of great natural wealth on the planet. Brazil is one of the few countries in the world that hold the so-called biological megadiversity, that is, important ecosystems, still healthy.
