Scutellum with long anterior setae; ventral process distinct, very close to base of intervolsellar process; dorsal lamina without basal constriction; intervolsellar process relatively short, extending to base of volsellae. Comments . Trichogramma tupiense is similar to T. bruni , from which it is distinguished by a more elongate intervolsellar process, ventral processes more distinct and positioned at the base of the intervolsellar process, and the ventral ridge shorter and less distinct. In T. bruni , the ventral processes are in a more anterior position, the ventral ridge is longer and extends beyond the middle of the genital capsule, and the anterior setae of the scutellum are much shorter. Only the type material is known. Type repository . ESALQ (holotype) and University of California, Riverside. Type locality . Piracicaba, SP. Distribution in South America. Brazil. Host .
