Description

Anagrus (Anagrus) tretiakovae Triapitsyn

(Figs 1, 2)

Anagrus (Anagrus) tretiakovae Triapitsyn 1998: 90 –93 (description, illustrations, distribution, host associations). Anagrus tretiakovae Triapitsyn: Prischmann et al. 2007: 43–51; Morse & Stouthamer 2007: 95; Wright & James 2007: 17–18, 20–23.

Type locality. Near Stanfield, Pinal Co., Arizona, USA.

Material examined. USA. New Mexico, Bernalillo Co., Albuquerque, Los Ranchos de Albuquerque, 4920 Rio Grande Blvd. NW, Anderson Valley Vineyards, S.V. Triapitsyn, 26.ix.2005 (emerged from Burgundy [red wine] grape leaves infested with various leafhoppers [Dikrella cockerellii (Gillette), Empoasca sp., Erasmoneura vulnerata (Fitch), and Erythroneura triapitsyni Dmitriev & Dietrich], preserved upon arrival at University of California, Riverside quarantine 28.ix.2005 or emerged thereafter, S&R # 05–19), 1 male on slide and numerous females and males in ethanol [UCRC]. Also specimens listed by Triapitsyn (1998).

Female diagnosis. F2 and F3 of antenna (Fig. 1) usually without mps; basal one-third of forewing disc beyond venation with two well-defined, complete longitudinal rows of setae in both sexes (Fig. 2); ovipositor 1.8–2.2x as long as protibia length; external plate of ovipositor with 2 distal setae (Triapitsyn 1998).

Hosts. Besides the leafhopper hosts indicated by Triapitsyn (1998) and Williams & Martinson (2000), recent host records of A. tretiakovae include Erythroneura elegantula Osborn and E. ziczac Walsh in Washington (Prischmann et al. 2007; Wright & James 2007). The likely hosts of this species in Albuquerque, New Mexico, are Erasmoneura vulnerata (Fitch) and Erythroneura triapitsyni Dmitriev & Dietrich.
