Trichogramma terani
Velásquez & Terán, 2003
Diagnosis
. Flagelliform setae long; dorsal lamina triangular with no basal constriction and not reaching intervolsellar process; intervolsellar process weakly developed, but evident.
Comments.
Velaìsquez & Teìran (2003) included
T. terani
in the
Drepanophorum
section. Although considerable heterogeneity occurs in the section, most species have a uniformly broad genital capsule, narrowing apically and often with strongly curved volsellae (as in the
atopovirilia-bennetti
clade), as mentioned by
Pinto (1999)
. Therefore,
T. terani
probably does not belong to the
Drepanophorum
section. Only the type material is known.
Type repository
. Entomological Collection, Universidad Nacional Experimental Rómulo Gallegos, San Juan de los Morros. estado Guárico.
Type locality
. Las Lajas, Guárico, Venezuela.
Distribution in South America
. Venezuela.
Hosts
. Eggs of an undetermined noctuid (
Lepidoptera
) on
Sida
spp. (
Malvaceae
) (Velaìsquez & Teìran 2003).
