In comparison, the center of the areola is smooth in + +D. fluminensis + +( +Fig. 9 +), while in + +D. maculatus + +within the areola are two very weak longitudinal carinae that bend posteriorly ( +Figs 15 +, +34d +) and another transverse carina at the base ( + +Figs +15 + +, +34e +). + +Doryctobracon simulatus + + +sp. nov. + +is also distinguished from + +D. fluminensis + +and + +D. maculatus + +by the dorsal surface of the petiole (T1) of + +D +. +simulatus + +, which has small punctures of various sizes on the inner margins of the dorsal carina, located subapically in a very shallow groove ( +Fig 23c +). +Wharton (1997) +described the petiole of + +Doryctobracon + +as smooth, and in all other + +Doryctobracon +species + +, this characteristic was not mentioned; therefore, this character is described herein for the first time in + +D. simulatus + + +sp. nov. + +and may be useful in the characterization of other + +Doryctobracon +species. + + + + + +FIGURE 23 +. + +Doryctobracon simulatus +Marinho + + +sp. nov. + +Propodeum (arrows: a. lateral striations; b. carina of pentagonal areola); metasoma (arrows: c. punctures near dorsal carina on petiole—T1; d. light-brown transverse bands; e. circular brown spot at T7).

Anterior end of areola angular, where long straight anterior transverse carina begins and reaches strong lateral longitudinal carina ( +Figs 9 +, +31 +).

Only the type material is known. Although +Lima (1938) +described + +D. fluminensis + +with black spots on the lobes of the mesoscutum ( +Figs 8 +, +30 +) and the anterior region of the mesopleuron ( +Figs 6 +, +27 +), these spots were neither characterized in detail nor mentioned in the subsequent literature and taxonomic keys. These spots easily separate + +D. fluminensis + +from other species of + +Doryctobracon + +, except from + +D. maculatus + +, which shares the same characteristics, as discussed below. However, the appearance of these black spots is quite particular, and this difference can be used to separate these two species. Examination of the +holotype +and +allotype +of + +D. fluminensis + +reveals extensive black spots that completely cover the mesoscutal lobes (median and lateral), and their limits, or the intersection of these spots, almost reach the notauli ( +Figs 8 +, +30 +). In + +D. maculatus + +, the spots are pitch black, well defined, and are located at the ends of the lobes of the mesoscutum, being widely separated by the orange color of the mesosoma; on the median lobe, the spot is semi-oval, and the lateral lobes have wide black bands that reach the anterolateral region of the scutellum ( + +Marinho +et al +. 2021 + +) ( +Fig. 14 +). In + +D. fluminensis + +, the anterior region of the mesopleuron, defined by +Lima (1938) +as “sternopleuron” ( +Figs 6a +, +27 +), and mesosternum are black ( +Fig. 26b +). In + +D. maculatus + +, the mesopleuron is almost completely black, mainly posteriorly, which continues, covering the mesosternum ( +Fig. 12b +), except for the longitudinal groove on the ventral surface of the mesothorax, which is orange (mesodiscrimen). + + + +FIGURES 5–22. + +Doryctobracon fluminensis +(Lima) + +.

Marinho, + +D. maculatus + +and + +D. simulatus + +. + + + +Other characteristics can be used to separate these species, such as the color of the head (dorsal) and the structure of the propodeum. The head in + +D. fluminensis + +is completely orange, and only the vertex (ocellar triangle) is black ( +Figs 7b +, +28b +). + +D. maculatus + +also has an orange head; however, an uninterrupted black or dark reddish brown spot or stripe occurs on the frons and vertex (ocellar triangle), ending on the occiput ( +Figs 12a, 13 +). In + +D. fluminensis + +, the hind coxa is black ( +Fig. 6b +). In + +D. maculatus + +, the hind coxa is yellow with three small dark-brown smoky spots arranged circularly ( +Fig. 12c +). Although both these species have an areolate propodeum, they differ in the shape of the areola and the presence of carinae within them. + +Doryctobracon fluminensis + +has a propodeum with a short anterior mid-longitudinal carina and a complete posterior areola, pentagonal, elongated, and relatively narrow from the middle, which reaches the lower edge of the propodeum ( +Figs 9 +, +31 +). The anterior end of the areola is angular, where a long straight anterior transverse carina begins and reaches a strong lateral longitudinal carina; the center of the areola is smooth, and many bristles cover the metapleuron ( +Figs 9 +, +31 +). In + +D. maculatus +, + +the propodeum also has a short mid-anterior longitudinal carina, followed by a complete posterior areola ( +Figs 15 +, +34a +). However, the areola has anteriorly rounded edges, where two to three short carinae radiate on each side, weakening without reaching the lateral longitudinal carina ( +Figs 15 +, +34b +); only one, the posterior transverse carina of the areola, reaches the lateral longitudinal carina ( +Figs 15 +, +34c +). Within the areola are two very weak longitudinal carinae, bending posteriorly ( +Fig 15 +, +34d +), and another transverse carina at the base ( + +Figs +15 + +, +34e +). + + +Although the spots on the lobes of the mesoscutum and anterior region of the mesopleuron are described as black in + +D. fluminensis +( +Lima, 1938 +) + +the analysis of the +holotype +and +allotype +showed a less-intense color, close to dark brown, particularly in the anterior region of the mesopleuron, mesosternum, and antenna, indicating that the color may have faded with time due to preservation issues. The black dorsal abdominal bands in females, reported by many authors ( +Muesebeck 1958 +; +Fischer 1964 +, +1965 +; +Wharton & Marsh 1978 +) can also be found in males, as observed in the +allotype +( +Figs 10 +, +29 +). Furthermore, the vertex of females was defined as lighter than that of males ( +Wharton & Marsh 1978 +), but these differences were not observed in the type material examined ( +holotype +and +allotype +), which have a black vertex (ocellar triangle) ( +Figs 7b +, +28b +). + + +According to the original description ( +Lima, 1938 +), + +D. fluminensis + +was reared in + +A. fraterculus +(Wiedemann) + +, collected by Aristóteles Silva, with no information on host fruit. However, on the labels of the +type +material, the host is + +A. pseudoparallela +(Loew) + +reared in + +Passiflora +sp. + +(passion fruit) ( +Figs 2, 4 +, +33 +). Information on + +A. pseudoparallela + +as host of + +D. fluminensis + +was published by +Gonçalves (1938) +, who also reported that this record was obtained by Aristóteles Silva, who collected the specimens described by +Lima (1938) +. +Gonçalves (1938) +’s record went practically unnoticed, but Lima’s information (1938) was released by other authors (e. g., +Zucchi 2000 +; +Aguiar-Menezes & Menezes 2023 +).Anyway, + +A. pseudoparallela + +should be considered host of + +D. fluminensis + +and not + +A. fraterculus + +as stated in +Lima (1938) +. Furthermore, passion fruit is the most common host of + +A. pseudoparallela + +in +Brazil +( +Zucchi & Moraes 2024 +). + + + + \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/data/20/3F/D1/203FD15FFF9CAA3E9CDCFCC90E236E9B.xml b/data/20/3F/D1/203FD15FFF9CAA3E9CDCFCC90E236E9B.xml new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..3118281ecfa --- /dev/null +++ b/data/20/3F/D1/203FD15FFF9CAA3E9CDCFCC90E236E9B.xml @@ -0,0 +1,112 @@ + + + +Hidden under darkened wings: the identity of Doryctobracon fluminensis (Lima, 1938) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) and a new species of the genus from Brazil + + + +Author + +Marinho, Cláudia F. +Centro Regional de Energía y Ambiente para el Desarrollo Sustentable (CREAS - CONICET / UNCA), Prado 366, K 4700 AAP.
