Odontosema anastrephae
Borgmeier, 1935

Diagnosis.
Body slender. Head (
Fig. 24
) with lateral margin of occiput not well defined. Eyes pilose. Antennae of female (
Fig. 25
) pilose, cilindrical, widened towards apex, club 6segmented, conspicuous. Antennae of male (
Fig. 26
) with the first flagellomere slightly curved, distally swollen, longer than second. Dorsal margin of pronotal plate (
Fig. 27
) deeply emarginate; sides of pronotum with conspicuous longitudinal carinae. Mesoscutum (
Figs. 28 and 29
) slightly convex in profile, smooth. Dorsal part of scutellum (
Fig. 29
) areolaterugose, dorsoposterior part in dorsal view emarginate, with two teeth. Scutellar plate (
Figs. 28 and 29
) large, flat, with an elliptical pit close to the posterior margin of the plate. Mesopleuron (
Fig. 28
) with subalar pit. Metapleuron (
Fig. 28
) slightly sculptured. Forewings (
Fig. 30
) completely hyaline, apical margin with hair fringe; marginal cell anteriorly open; veins pale. Metacoxa (
Fig. 31
) with scarse hairs. Third abdominal tergum of metasoma (
Fig. 20
) with a thin hairy ring at base; metasoma distally punctate.
Geographical distribution.
Neotropical Region:
Mexico
(HernandezOrtiz
et al.
1994) and
Brazil
(
Guimarães
et al.
2000a
). In
Brazil
it is distributed throughout
the States
of Amazonas, Mato Grosso do Sul, São Paulo, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul (
Guimarães
et al
. 2000a
) and Rio de Janeiro (new record).
Hosts.
Tephritidae
:
Anastrepha fraterculus
(
in
Borgmeier 1935
),
Anastrepha
spp. and
Ceratitis capitata
(
in
Wharton
et al
. 1981
;
Guimarães
et al
. 1999
).
Lonchaeidae
:
Neosilba pendula
(
in
Costa Lima 1940
).
Wharton
et al.
(1998)
suggested that
O
. anastrephae
may be a parasitoid rather of tephritids than of other dipterous. Most of the material estudied herein was obtained from
Tephritidae
puparia in
Myrtaceae
.
Remarks
.
Odontosema
Kieffer, 1909
is represented by two neotropical species:
O
. albinerve
Kieffer, 1909
and
O
. anastrephae
. The specimens studied of these species show that the morphological differences between them could be only individual variations.
