Abstract

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.
