Horismenus camobiensis (Hym.: Eulophidae), a new hyperparasitoid of Cotesia invirae (Hym.: Braconidae) in Opsiphanes invirae (Lep.: Nymphalidae) pupae

Abstract

Horismenus camobiensis sp. nov. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), is described based on morphological, molecular and ecological data; this new species of chalcid wasp acts as hyperparasitoid of Opsiphanis invirae (Hübner, 1818) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae) in its parasitoid Cotesia invirae Salgado-Neto and Whitfield, 2019 (Hymenoptera: Braconidae). Diagnoses with morphological and molecular characters and illustrations are provided.
