The New World genus Lathrapanteles n. gen.: Phylogeny and placement in the Microgastrinae (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Cotesiini)

Open publisher page 28 citations

Abstract

The new genus Lathrapanteles is erected for Sathon papaipemae (Muesebeck) and three new species, L. ampyx (type locality, Cali, Colombia), L. fuscus (type locality, Notre Dame du Portage, Québec), and L. heleios (type locality, Mer Bleue, Ottawa, Ontario). The genus and species are described from cocoons, adult and larval structure, and distribution. Host-dependent variability in the first tergum of the metasoma of L. papaipemae n. comb. is discussed. A key to species and reconstructed phylogeny are given for Lathrapanteles. Placement of the genus in the Cotesiini and its effect on microgastrine classification is discussed.
