Clistopyga magninsula sp. nov. (Pimplinae, Ichneumonidae) from Brazil is described as new. Clistopyga hayesiana Bordera & Sääksjärvi and C. porteri Bordera & Sääksjärvi, previously known only to Paraguay and Argentina respectively, are recorded for the first time in Brazil. We also present a redescription of C. tundisii (Penteado-Dias & Victorino) which was wrongly identified in the genus Zonopimpla.

Wild biodiversity is usually larger in semi-natural habitats than in croplands, but this pattern is not ubiquitous because it varies among taxa and geographic regions. Knowing how the diversity of natural enemies is structured at the landscape level is important to better understand when semi-natural habitats promote the conservation of natural enemies and ultimately enhance biocontrol. We explore the relative influence of agricultural abandonment and the proportion of semi-natural habitats at the landscape level on the diversity and abundance of parasitoid wasps in the Ichneumonidae family.

Parasitoids are an important group of insects because their species number is among the highest. Multiple studies have addressed the relationships between forest successional age and insect diversity by focusing on herbivorous organisms, but changes in diversity of parasitoids are still poorly known. This work analyses the diversity of parasitoids in tropical forests representing three successional stages.
