Estudios sobre el barrenador Hypsipyla grandella (Zeller). IX. Un nuevo microgasterino neotrópico (Hymenoptera, Braconidae) parasito de la larva

Abstract

A new species of the genus Hypomicrogaster parasitizing the larva of Hypsipyla grandella is described. The parasite was reared from a prepupal H. grandella larva found in a fruit of Cedrela oaxacensis C. DC. & Rose (Synonym: C. tonduzii C. DC), growing in a natural stand near Santa Cruz, on the slopes of the Turrialba volcano at 1500 m altitude. About 15 parasites who pupated externally on the host larva within its cocoon. All of the adult parasites which emerged, were females.
