INTRODUCTION

Dryinidae (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea) are cosmopolitan wasps, parasitoids and often also predators of leafhoppers, planthoppers and treehoppers (Hemiptera, Auchenorrhyncha) (Guglielmino et al., 2013Guglielmino, A.; Olmi, M. & Bückle, C. 2013.

Insect Systematics & Evolution, 52(2):167-200.). Known commonly as pincer wasps, they include 17 subfamilies (Olmi et al., 2019Olmi, M.; Copeland, R.S. & van Noort, S. 2019. Dryinidae of the Afrotropical region (Hymenoptera, Chrysidoidea). Zootaxa, 4630(1): 1-619., 2020bOlmi, M.; Perkovsky, E.E.; Martynova, K.V.; Contarini, M.; Bückle, C. & Guglielmino, A. 2020b.

Anteoninae include seven genera, four extant and three fossil (Olmi et al., 2019Olmi, M.; Copeland, R.S. & van Noort, S. 2019. Dryinidae of the Afrotropical region (Hymenoptera, Chrysidoidea). Zootaxa, 4630(1): 1-619.). The following four genera are present in the Neotropical region: AnteonJurine, 1807Jurine, L. 1807. Nouvelle méthode de classer les Hyménoptères et les Diptères . Vol. 1.

Zootaxa, 3792(1): 1-534.). The genera Anteon and Deinodryinus are the most speciose, with about 466 and 166 world species, respectively. The knowledge of the biology and hosts associated to Anteoninae is restricted to three genera, Anteon, Deinodryinus and Lonchodryinus, both associated with Cicadellidae. For the Neotropical region, there are only records related to Anteon (Olmi & Virla, 2014Olmi, M. & Virla, E.G. 2014. Dryinidae of the Neotropical Region (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea).

In the Neotropical region, the genus Deinodryinus includes 114 species, of which 38 species occurring in Brazil and 19 in Mexico (Olmi & Virla, 2014Olmi, M. & Virla, E.G. 2014.

The genus Metanteon includes only one Neotropical species, occurring in Argentina and Chile: Metanteon aerias (Walker) (Olmi, 1984Olmi, M. 1984. A revision of the Dryinidae (Hymenoptera).

Metanteon is a small transantarctic genus occurring only in the southern extremity of South America and New Caledonia and including only two species: M. aerias and M. poirieriSperanza, Olmi, Guglielmino, Capradossi & Contarini, 2019Speranza, S.; Olmi, M.; Guglielmino, A.; Capradossi, L. & Contarini, M. 2019.

In this paper we contribute to the knowledge of the Neotropical fauna of Anteoninae by describing two new species of Deinodryinus and reporting new distribution records of Lonchodryinus tricolor.

MATERIAL AND METHODS

In this study, 37 specimens of Anteoninae, collected by Malaise and Light traps were examined, 10 belonging to Deinodryinus and 27 to Lonchodryinus. The specimens studied here are deposited in the following collections (curators between brackets):

  • - DZUP: Coleção Entomológica Pe. Jesus Santiago Moure, Universidade Federal do Paraná, Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil (Dr. Gabriel A.R. Melo);

  • - LRRP: Laboratório de Sistemática e Bioecologia de Parasitoides e Predadores, Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil (Dr. Nelson W. Perioto);

  • - MNHN: Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, Paris, France (Dr. Claire Villemant);

  • - UEFS: Universidade Estadual de Feira de Santana, Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil (Dr. Freddy B. Quijano and Dr. Sérgio Andena);

  • - ZSJRP: Coleção de Hymenoptera do Departamento de Zoologia do Instituto de Biociências, Letras e Ciências Exatas - UNESP, São José do Rio Preto, São Paulo, Brazil (Dr. Fernando B. Noll).

The specimens of Deinodryinus and Lonchodryinus were identified by the keys of Olmi & Virla (2014Olmi, M. & Virla, E.G. 2014. Dryinidae of the Neotropical Region (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea). Zootaxa, 3792(1): 1-534.). The terminology adopted here follows mainly Olmi et al. (2019Olmi, M.; Copeland, R.S. & van Noort, S. 2019. Dryinidae of the Afrotropical region (Hymenoptera, Chrysidoidea). Zootaxa, 4630(1): 1-619.), except for the propodeum (following Olmi & Virla (2014Olmi, M. & Virla, E.G. 2014. Dryinidae of the Neotropical Region (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea). Zootaxa, 3792(1): 1-534.) and the fore wing venation (following Brothers (2011Brothers, D.J. 2011. A new late Cretaceous family of Hymenoptera, and phylogeny of the Plumariidae and Chrysidoidea (Aculeata). ZooKeys, 130(Special Issue): 515-542.). The holotype of Lonchodryinus tricolor deposited at MNHN was examined personally by MO and through photographs by ALM.

In the descriptions, the following abbreviations are used: POL, refers to the minimum distance between the inner edges of the lateral ocelli; OL, refers to the minimum distance between the inner edges of the lateral ocellus and the median ocellus; OOL, refers to the minimum distance from the outer edge of a lateral ocellus to the eye inner margin; OPL, refers to the minimum distance from the posterior edge of a lateral ocellus to the occipital carina; TL, refers to the minimum distance from the posterior edge of an eye to the occipital carina.

Label information was transcribed as follows: a backslash (\) indicates different lines on the label and two quotation marks (“ ”) indicate different labels of the same specimen.

Colour images were obtained using a LEICA DFC295 digital camera attached to the stereoscopic microscope and processed with Zerene Stacker software (1.04 version build). Scanning electron photomicrographs (SEM VEGA3 TESCAN) were made in the Center of Electron Microscopy of the Universidade Federal do Paraná. Figures were prepared using Adobe Photoshop (version 11.0).

Geographical coordinates not indicated in the labels were obtained using Google Earth 4.0 software. The distribution maps were created using SimpleMappr (Shorthouse, 2010Shorthouse, D.P. 2010. SimpleMappr, an online tool to produce publication-quality point maps. Available: Available: https://www.simplemappr.net . Access: 09/01/2021.

Comments: The studied specimens from Brazil studied here differs from the holotype in the following characters: The body length of female changes from 5.2-7.5 mm. Head with mandible (Fig. 4B) testaceous, except teeth dark brown; frons (Figs. 4B, D) rugose and punctate, vertex punctate, unsculptured among punctures; clypeus (Fig. 4B) rugose; gena rugose and partially punctate; frontal line complete. Pronotum (Fig. 4C) with central region smooth and lateral surfaces rugose and finely punctate; notauli incomplete (Figs. 4C, 5A) reaching approximately 0.9 × length of mesoscutum (in holotype about 0.7); mesoscutellum (Fig. 4C) partially finely punctate; mesopleuron rugose and finely punctate; metapleuron rugose, punctate and with several transverse carinae. Ocellar ratio: OL = 7, POL = 12, OOL = 11, OPL = 1, TL = 0. Antenna filiform and not clavate. Antennomeres in following proportions: 35:11:50:39:25:18:16:15:20. Ratio of vein Rs: 2r-rs = 21 and 3Rs&4Rs = 43. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 38:6:8:36:54; 5th protarsomere with two rows of approximately 62 lamellae (in holotype about 57); distal apex with about seven lamellae (in holotype about nine). Claw of midle and posterior legs with basal expansion very development. Dorsal surface of propodeum as long as posterior surface (30:30).

Male: Unknown.

Distribution:Lonchodryinus tricolor was previously known by females from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil (Bahia, Goiás, Pernambuco, Rondônia and São Paulo) and Paraguay (Olmi & Virla, 2014Olmi, M. & Virla, E.G. 2014. Dryinidae of the Neotropical Region (Hymenoptera: Chrysidoidea). Zootaxa, 3792(1): 1-534.; Martins et al., 2015Martins, A.L. 2015. A new species of Deinodryinus Perkins, 1907 (Hymenoptera, Dryinidae) from Minas Gerais, Brazil. Zootaxa, 4032(2): 236-240.) (Fig. 7). Here we recorded also for the first time from the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Paraná. In addition, its distribution is extended to new localities in Bahia and São Paulo (Fig. 7).

Remarks:Lonchodryinus tricolor has wide distribution in different Brazilian ecosystems (Caatinga, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest) suggesting that their hosts (probably Cicadellidae) are polyphagous and feed on different plants.
