- Abstract
Simple Summary: Four species of wasps, Myartsevaia chrysopae, Telenomus lobatus, Telenomus tridentatus and Trichogramma atopovirilia, are recorded as parasitoids of chrysopid eggs in Mexico, for the first time. The field survey was conducted in sorghum and corn in different locations in Sinaloa, Mexico. The identification of the parasitoids was determined by morphology, and for both Telenomus species the barcode region of the cytochrome oxidase 1 gene (CO1) was amplified and sequenced. The eggs parasitoids Myartsevaia chrysopae (Crawford) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae), Telenomus lobatus Johnson, Telenomus tridentatus Johnson (Hymenoptera: Scelionidae) and Trichogramma atopovirilia Oatman and Platner (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) are reported for the first time or in new localities in Mexico. Their occurrence was first discovered in 2018 during a survey of parasitism on chrysopid eggs, conducted on Sorghum bicolor L. Moench (Poales: Poaceae) and Zea mays L. (Poales: Poaceae) in different locations in Sinaloa, Mexico. The identity of the parasitoids was determined by morphology and for both species of Telenomus the barcode region of the cytochrome oxidase 1 gene (CO1) was generated to facilitate molecular diagnosis of these species in future studies.
