Diagnosis.
Body stout. Head (
Fig. 1
) with lateral margin of occiput well defined. Eyes without pubescence. Antennae of female (
Fig. 2
) glabrous, widened towards apex and laterally compressed, club 9segmented, inconspicuous. Antennae of male (
Fig. 3
) with the first flagellomere slightly curved, distally swollen, slightly longer than second. Dorsal margin of pronotal plate (
Fig. 4
) with three emarginations; sides of pronotum with longitudinal carinae. Mesoscutum (
Figs. 5 and 6
) strongly convex in profile, median mesoscutal carina present. Dorsal part of scutellum (
Fig. 6
) striate radialy; dorsoposterior part in dorsal view emarginate, fourangled posterolaterally. Scutellar plate (
Figs. 5 and 6
) small, quite elevated, with a tooth overhanging the circular pit, which is distinctly removed from the posterior margin of the plate. Mesopleuron (
Fig. 5
) with subalar pit. Metapleuron (
Fig. 5
) sculptured. Forewings (
Fig. 7
) completely hyaline, punctate, apical margin with hair fringe; marginal cell open anteriorly and partly at base; veins colourless. Metacoxa (
Fig. 8
) with a band of hairs along the posterior margin. Third abdominal tergum of metasoma (
Fig. 5
) with a thin hairy ring and two sulci striate at base; metasoma distally punctate.

Geographical distribution.
Neotropical Region:
Mexico
,
Costa Rica
,
Trinidad & Tobago
,
Panama
,
Venezuela
,
Brazil
,
Peru
and
Argentina
(
Gallardo & Diaz 1999
). In
Brazil
it is distributed throughout
the States
of Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, Santa Catarina (Guimarães
et al
. 2000) and Minas Gerais (new record).
Hosts.
Tephritidae
:
Anastrepha
sp. (
in
Rhower 1919
);
A. fraterculus
(
in
Weld 1951
);
A. pseudoparallela
and
A. amita
(
in
Guimarães
et al
. 2000a
).
Lonchaeidae
:
Neosilba batesi
(
in
Wharton
et al
. 1998
) and
Neosilba
spp. (
in
Guimarães
et al
. 1999
;
2000a
).
The material studied was obtained mainly from puparia of lonchaeids on
Passifloraceae
and
Rutaceae
.
Remarks.
Lopheucoila
Weld, 1951
is represented by three neotropical species:
L. mexicana
Weld 1951
,
L. anastrephae
and
L. truncicola
. However,
Gallardo and Diaz (1999)
suggested that
L. truncicola
could be a synonymous of
L. anastrephae
.
