Synergus succinipedis

Description

Synergus succinipedis (Ashmead, 1885)

Ceroptres succinipedis Ashmead, 1885. Trans. Am. Entomol. Soc. 12: 300. Type material: USNM.

Synergus succinipedis: Weld (1922). Proc. U. S. Nat. Mus. 61 (18): 26.

Diagnosis. See Lobato-Vila et al. (2020c: 30).

Distribution. USA: Florida (Ashmead 1885; Burks 1979).

Biology. Reared from galls of Disholcaspis quercusvirens (Ashmead, 1881) (Ashmead 1885; Weld 1951; Burks 1979).

Remarks. The type material of Synergus succinipedis was examined and the species was redescribed and illustrated by Lobato-Vila et al. (2020c: 30).

The host plant is not mentioned in the original description; however, S. succinipedis was probably collected from galls on Q. virginiana or Q. minima, because these are the only host trees mentioned for D. quercusvirens (Weld 1951; Burks 1979; Melika et al. 2013).
