Trichogramma marandobai
Brun, Moraes & Soares, 1986
Diagnosis
. Genital capsule long; dorsal lamina tapering from apex to base, not extending beyond apex of volsellae, dorsal lamina with narrow posterior extension and rounded apex at same level as intervolsellar process; intervolsellar process long and stout, ventral carina not extending beyond middle of genital capsule; flagelliform setae relatively short, tapering at apex (
Vieira
et al
. 2014
,
2015
).
Comments
. This species is similar to
T. demoraesi
,
from which it differs mostly by the shape of the dorsal lamina. In Brazil, specimens obtained from eggs of
Erinnyis ello
were misidentified as
T. demoraesi
, when in fact, those specimens corresponded to
T. marandobai
(see comments under
T. demoraesi
). An integrative taxonomic study proved that the variations in the male genitalia of
T. marandobai
are intraspecific (

et al
. 2015
).
