Trichogramma lopezandinense
Sarmiento, 1993
Diagnosis
. Forewing with long setae; number of basiconic sensilla reduced; ventral ridge long, exceeding middle of genital capsule; ventral processes present, anterior to base of intervolsellar process.
Comments.
Trichogramma lopezandinense
is distinguished from other South American species mainly by the long setae of the forewing and the reduced number of basiconic sensilla (formula 1-0-0-1 (0)-1-1). This species is similar to
T. bruni
; however, it can be separated by structures of the wings: in
T. lopezandinense
, the forewing is narrower and the setae of the forewing fringe are considerably longer than in
T. bruni
. On the hind wing, the setae of the posterior row are longer in
T. lopezandinense
than in
T. bruni
. The structures on the genital capsule of
T. lopezandinense
are also similar to
T. bruni
(see
Querino & Zucchi 2003b
).
