Fruit Flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) and Their Parasitoids (Hymenoptera) in Host Plants Along Two Altitudinal Gradients in an Andean Forest of Peru.

Fruit flies (Diptera: Tephritidae) are significant pests of fruit and vegetable crops worldwide. Despite their importance, some regions in South America remain under-researched regarding the fruit fly species that damage host plants and the parasitoids that provide their natural control. In this study, we investigated the interactions among host plants, fruit flies, and their larval parasitoids along two altitudinal gradients in Oxapampa, Pasco, a tropical Andean forest in Peru.

Two new species of the genus Dentigaster Zettel (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Cheloninae) from Brazil.

Two new species of the genus Dentigaster Zettel, 1990 are described from brazilian fauna: Dentigaster medeirosi Dias & Penteado-Dias sp. nov., from Atlantic Forest and Dentigaster fernandesi sp.

New species of the genus Gnamptodon Haliday (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) from Neotropical region.

A new species of the genus Gnamptodon Haliday (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Telengaiinae) from Brazil is described and illustrated. The new data now presented extend the geographical distribution and the number of species to this genus in neotropical region.

UCE-based phylogenomics of the lepidopteran endoparasitoid wasp subfamily Rogadinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) unveils a new Neotropical tribe.

During the past two decades, the phylogenetic relationships and higher-level classification of the subfamily Rogadinae have received relevant contributions based on Sanger, mitogenome and genome-wide nuclear DNA sequence data. These studies have helped to update the circumscription and tribal classification of this subfamily, with six tribes currently recognised (Aleiodini, Betylobraconini, Clinocentrini, Rogadini, Stiropiini and Yeliconini). The tribal relationships within Rogadinae, however, are yet to be fully resolved, including the status of tribe Facitorini, previously regarded as betylobraconine, with respect to the members of Yeliconini.

First record of subgenus Foerster (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Alysiinae, Foerster) from Chile, with description of ten new species.

is a taxon within the group with a contentious taxonomic history, currently classified as a subgenus of the genus . Species of were only documented in the Neotropical region in 2017, and until then, the Neotropical fauna of this subgenus was represented by five species from Brazil. In this study, is reported for the first time in Chile, with the description and illustration of ten new species, namely: Dinotrema (Synaldis) acarinareolatum, D.
