Trichogramma terani Velasquez & Teran 2003

Description

Trichogramma terani Velásquez & Terán, 2003

Diagnosis. Flagelliform setae long; dorsal lamina triangular with no basal constriction and not reaching intervolsellar process; intervolsellar process weakly developed, but evident.

Comments. Velaìsquez & Teìran (2003) included T. terani in the Drepanophorum section. Although considerable heterogeneity occurs in the section, most species have a uniformly broad genital capsule, narrowing apically and often with strongly curved volsellae (as in the atopovirilia-bennetti clade), as mentioned by Pinto (1999). Therefore, T. terani probably does not belong to the Drepanophorum section. Only the type material is known.

Type repository. Entomological Collection, Universidad Nacional Experimental Rómulo Gallegos, San Juan de los Morros. estado Guárico.

Type locality. Las Lajas, Guárico, Venezuela.

Distribution in South America. Venezuela.

Hosts. Eggs of an undetermined noctuid (Lepidoptera) on Sida spp. (Malvaceae) (Velaìsquez & Teìran 2003).
