Revision of Xanthomicrogaster Cameron, 1911 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Microgastrinae)
Subfamily Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) is one of the largest subfamilies of parasitoid wasps, both in terms of number of described species as well as estimated total number of species. Containing ~57 genera and exclusively attacking Lepidoptera, most of the diversity is concentrated …

Systematics of the Diolcogastroid Complex (Microgastrinae: Braconidae: Hymenoptera) From the New World
The genus Diolcogaster is revised from the New World. A key to species is provided, and species groups and host relationships are discussed. Thirty-six species are newly described, and three known species are synonymized. Therefore, forty-nine Diolcogaster species are recorded from the New World. …

A Systematic Revision of the Genus Hypomicrogaster Ashmead (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): A Phylogenetic Approach
Re-description of the monotypic genus Pelicope Mason using female specimens was presented, including clarification of its biology. Description is also made of the first two species of the genus Austrocotesia Austin & Dangerfield for the New World (Austrocotesia croizatii and A. renei), with a …

Phylogenetics patterns of host utilization in two tropical Microgastrine parasitoid genera (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
Parasitoid wasps play a pivotal role in maintaining the structure and dynamics of complex food webs. However, classical species sampling techniques such as malaise, light and yellow pan trapping, generally lack information regarding host utilization. Even within the species for which host data is …

Taxonomy, phylogeny and resource use of Glyptapanteles (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Microgastrinae), genus highly diversified in the Neotropics
Among hymenopteran parasitoid wasps, Ichneumonoidea is one of the superfamilies with the highest number of species and includes the highly diverse Microgastrinae subfamily. Microgastrinae wasps are very abundant and can be collected in many different terrestrial habitats. A considerable number of …

Physiological Factors Determining Host Suitability of Lepidopteran Stemborers for Parasitization by Cotesia Flavipes-Complex Parasitoids (Braconidae: Hymenoptera)
The physiological host range of C. flavipes-complex parasitoids will likely be narrow, but exact host range will be difficult to predict. It is the hope that basic biological studies, such as those presented here, will help in the design of host range tests while also providing better understanding …

Evaluación de modernos plaguicidas en el complejo Ceratis capitata (Wiedemann) (Diptera: Tephritidae) y Psyttalia concolor Szépligeti (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
… en su interior. Psyttalia concolor (Hymenoptera:Braconidae) es un endoparasitoide de moscas de la fruta (Tephritidae). Es uno de los principales parasitoides de la mosca del olivo, Bactrocera oleae (Gmeling). Tras su descubrimiento se introdujo en países de la cuenca mediterránea (Italia, España, …

Tritrophische Interaktionen zwischen transgenem, insektenresistentem Bacillus thuringiensis-Mais, dem Herbivoren Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: Crambidae) und dem Parasitoiden Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
… Endoparasitoiden Cotesia flavipes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) unter Laborbedingungen untersucht. Als Wirt diente Chilo partellus (Lepidoptera: Crambidae). C. partellus ist einer der wirtschaftlich bedeutendsten Schädlinge an Mais und Hirse in Afrika, der mittlerweile in Kenia von C. flavipes …

Habit Preferences and Fidelity in the Cotesia Flavipes Complex (Hymenoptera: Braconidae): Current Preferences and the Potential for Change Through Learning and Selection
Knowing the host range of a biological control agent is crucial to increasing the probability of controlling a target pest, and to decreasing the possibility of injuring non-target hosts. Here I suggest that testing habitat preference can help predict host ranges of insect parasitoids, and I …

Investigation of pre- and post-zygotic reproductive barriers between two host-plant complex races of the parasitic wasp Cotesia congregata (Say) [Hymenoptera: Braconidae]
Investigations of host-associated differentiation of parasitoids have largely focused on the degree of molecular genetic differentiation, but a true test of species status must examine the mating patterns of differentiated populations to determine if they can interbreed in the wild and produce …

Ecological studies and pesticide response of <i>Evergestis rimosalis</i> (Guenee) (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) and its parasitoid <i>Cotesia orobenae</i> Forbes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)
… of <i>Cotesia orobenae</i> Forbes (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) were studied. Development time of parasitoid pupae decreased as temperature increased to 35°C. Temperatures between 20 and 25°C were most suitable for parasitoid development, oviposition and fecundity. Longevity was significantly …

Sublethal effects of Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner on the diamondback moth, Plutella xylostella (L.), and its natural enemy, Cotesia plutellae Kurdjumov : implications for resistance management / by Lynne Grbin.
… Cotesia plutellae Kurdjumov (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and the microbial insecticide, Bacillus thuringiensis Berliner. A deterministic simulation model is developed describing the influence of C. plutellae on the evolution of resistance to Bt in a diamond-back moth poulation.

Thermal biology and establishment potential of two non-native candidate biological control agents, Nesidiocoris tenuis Reuter (Hemiptera: Miridae) and Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae), in the U.K.
… \(testaceipes\) (Cresson) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Aphidiinae) are candidate biological control agents known to play an important role in the management of agricultural and horticultural pests in southern Europe. Through a series of laboratory and field assessments, this study …

Seasonal abundance and biology of hyperparasites and their hosts associated with Pieris rapae (L.) (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) in the Brassica crop system
… Cotesia rubecula (Marshall) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). Pieris rapae was found to be active from April to November with possibly six generations per year in this region. It was attacked throughout this period by five generations of the larval parasite Cotesia glomerata (L.) (Hymenoptera: …
