Abstract
A new species of Deinodryinus Perkins, 1907, is described from the USA, Texas: D.bimaculatussp. n. Morphologically the new species is similar to D.masneri (Olmi, 1984), but it is distinguished by the head lacking a frontal line and the forewing crossed by two dark transverse bands; in D.masneri the head shows a conspicuous frontal line and the forewing is hyaline and without dark transverse bands.
Highlights
Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) are parasitoids and often predators of leafhoppers, planthoppers and treehoppers (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) (Guglielmino et al 2013)
The description follows the terminology used by Olmi (1984), Guglielmino et al (2017b, 2018) and Olmi and Virla (2014)
The measurements reported are relative, except for the total length, which is expressed in millimeters
Summary
Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) are parasitoids and often predators of leafhoppers, planthoppers and treehoppers (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) (Guglielmino et al 2013). They comprise 16 subfamilies, 50 genera and more than 1800 world species (Olmi and Xu 2015; Tribull 2015).
