Trichogramma clotho
Pinto, 1999
Diagnosis
. Second funicular segment elongated, tapering apically; mesosoma with distinct rugulose microsculpture.
Comments.
This species differs from all congeners in the unjoined funicular and club segments of the male antenna, and the two-segmented maxillary palp (
Pinto 1992
).
Trichogramma clotho
and
T. atropos
are the only species of the subgenus
Vanlisus
recorded in South America (
Querino
et al
. 2017
). The distinctive rugulose microsculpture readily differentiates it from
T
.
atropos
, a closely similar species. Only the type material is known.
