Abstract
We report Leucospis leucotelus Walker parasitizing nests of Xylocopa ( Schonnherria ) lateralis Say in Colombia. Previous literature records of species of Leucospis associated with species of Xylocopa are summarized
Highlights
Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi; Anacardiaceae) is a Neotropical species whose native range extends along the Atlantic coast of Brazil from Paraiba south to Rio Grande do Sul states, west to northeastern Argentina and adjacent Paraguay and Uruguay (Barkley, 1957; Muñoz, 2000; Wheeler et al, 2016b)
Three biological control agents were released in Hawaii, a bruchid seed feeder
The genus Brontocoris includes only two species, Brontocoris nigrolimbatus (Spinola) from Chile, Uruguay defoliating sawfly, Heteroperreyia hubrichi Malaise and Argentina, and B. tabidus from Chile, Brazil, (Hymenoptera: Pergidae), which has been intensively Paraguay and Argentina (Ruffinelli & Pirán, 1959; Grazia studied as a biological control candidate of Brazilian & Schwertner, 2008; Grazia et al, 2015)
Summary
Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi; Anacardiaceae) is a Neotropical species whose native range extends along the Atlantic coast of Brazil from Paraiba south to Rio Grande do Sul states, west to northeastern Argentina and adjacent Paraguay and Uruguay (Barkley, 1957; Muñoz, 2000; Wheeler et al, 2016b). Brazilian peppertree (Schinus terebinthifolia Raddi; Anacardiaceae) is a perennial tree native to Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. The defoliating sawfly, Heteroperreyia hubrichi Malaise (Hymenoptera: Pergidae), is a potential biological control agent for S. terebinthifolia.
