Abstract
Two new species of Dryinidae are described and illustrated Dryinus auratus Martins, Lara, Perioto & Olmi sp. nov. and Gonatopus mariae Martins, Lara, Perioto & Olmi sp. nov., both from areas of Atlantic Rainforest at São Paulo State, Brazil. Keys to species are provided.
Highlights
Gonatopus Ljungh, 1810, cosmopolitan, has about 440 species divided into 12 groups of species, 160 species are reported from the Neotropics and 30 from Brazil (Olmi and Virla, 2014)
This study aimed to describe new species of Dryinus and Gonatopus collected in áreas of Atlantic Rainforest at São Paulo State, Brazil
The specimens were collected at Parque Estadual Intervales (24°16’28.0’’S 48°25’14.8’’W), at Ribeirão Grande municipality, and at Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, Núcleo Santa Virgínia (23°19’17.9’’S 45°05’42.9’’W), at São Luis do Paraitinga municipality, both of them with Malaise traps in areas of Atlantic Rainforest at São Paulo State, Brazil
Summary
Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) are parasitoid wasps found worldwide, whose larvae develop on nymphs and adults of Auchenorrhyncha (Hemiptera) (Olmi, 2006); there are about 1700 described species, distributed in 14 subfamilies and 48 genera (Olmi and Guglielmino, 2010, 2012; Xu et al, 2013). Dryinus is divided into four species-group: autumnalis, constans, lamellatus and ruficauda (Olmi et al, 2011). Dryinus of the constans group (group 1 of Olmi and Virla, 2014), comprises about 40 species, 12 from Brazil and it is characterized by the notaulice at least partly visible and enlarged claw, much longer than arolium, with one subapical tooth and never with a broad apical lamella (Olmi et al, 2011; Olmi and Guglielmino, 2011; Olmi and Virla, 2014). Gonatopus Ljungh, 1810, cosmopolitan, has about 440 species divided into 12 groups of species, 160 species are reported from the Neotropics and 30 from Brazil (Olmi and Virla, 2014). This study aimed to describe new species of Dryinus and Gonatopus collected in áreas of Atlantic Rainforest at São Paulo State, Brazil
