New species of egg parasites from the oil palm stick insect (Eurycantha insularis) in papua new guinea (Hymenoptera, Chrysididae, Phasmatodea, Phasmatidae)

Abstract

Two new species of amisegine chrysidids, Cladobethylus insularis and Exova tunana, are described. Both species were reared from eggs of the stick insect, Eurycantha insularis Lucas (Phasmatidae), collected from infestations of oil palm pests in Papua New Guinea. This is the first host record for either genus. © Flávio O. Francisco et al.
