Trichogramma alloeovirilia
Querino & Zucchi, 2003
Diagnosis
. Scutellum with dark anterior setae, ventral processes swollen and far from each other, dorsal lamina without distinct basal constriction and pointed apex, intervolsellar process short.
Comments
. The swollen ventral processes located at the base of the intervolsellar process distinguishes
T
.
alloeovirilia
from
T. acuminatum
and
T. tupinense
.
It differs from
T. browningi
Pinto & Oatman, 1985
, another species with swollen ventral processes, in having the dorsal lamina with a constriction and tapering to a narrow apex. Variation was observed in the number of sensilla (1-1-2-0-1-1). In smaller adults, the size of the structures and consequently the number of basiconic sensilla and setae also decrease.
Trichogramma alloeovirilia
was collected in an electrical suction trap set in a forest reserve (
Querino & Zucchi 2003a
). Only the type material is known.
