Trichogramma bertii
Zucchi & Querino, 2003
Diagnosis
. Flagelliform setae short, with apex tapering abruptly; intervolsellar process distinctly pointed.
Comments
.
Trichogramma bertii
has the flagelliform setae short, tapering abruptly apically, as in
T. exiguum
; but it is distinguished from
T. exiguum
by having the dorsal lamina with a shallow basal notch and the intervolsellar process at the same level as or slightly beyond the dorsal lamina.
Trichogramma bertii
is also similar to
T. pretiosum
but differs by the much shorter flagelliform setae and the intervolsellar process with its pointed apex reaching the same level as the apex of the dorsal lamina or extending slightly beyond it.
