Comments.
In the same samples that specimens of
A.
fumosella
were collected, some parasitoid wasps (
Hymenoptera
,
Ichneumonidae
) with very similar (mimetic) body color pattern were always present. This possibly indicates an ecological interaction between these species, and therefore, reinforces the well-known relationship between
Symphrasinae
and
Hymenoptera
(
Redborg 1998
,
Tauber et al. 2009
,
Maia-Silva et al. 2013
,
