Description

Trichogramma clotho Pinto, 1999

Diagnosis. Second funicular segment elongated, tapering apically; mesosoma with distinct rugulose microsculpture.

Comments. This species differs from all congeners in the unjoined funicular and club segments of the male antenna, and the two-segmented maxillary palp (Pinto 1992). Trichogramma clotho and T. atropos are the only species of the subgenus Vanlisus recorded in South America (Querino et al. 2017). The distinctive rugulose microsculpture readily differentiates it from T. atropos, a closely similar species. Only the type material is known.

Type repository. National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. (holotype).

Type locality. Puntarenas, Costa Rica.

Distribution in South America. Brazil.

Hosts. Parrhasius polibetes (Stoll, 1781) (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae) on Pyrostegia venusta (Ker Gawl.) Miers (Bignoniaceae) and Schefflera vinosa (Cham. & Schltdl.) Frodin & Fiaschi. (Araliaceae) (Querino et al. 2017).
