Doryctobracon adaimei

description: Doryctobracon adaimei Marinho & Penteado-Dias, 2017
(Figure 1D)
Diagnosis. Fore wing infumate, with a broad rounded hyaline spot from stigma to middle of R1a but not reaching the posterior margin, stigma dark brown, propodeum areolate (details in Marinho et al. 2017).
Comments. It is close to D. areolatus and D. whartoni but is differentiated from both by morphometric and molecular data (Marinho et al. 2017), and also by wing color (see key). Doryctobracon adaimei occurs in the states of Amapá (Deus et al. 2010; Silva et al. 2011; Adaime et al. 2018), Amazonas (Dutra et al. 2013), Goiás (Veloso et al. 1996; Braga-Filho et al. 2001), Roraima (Amorim 2003; Ronchi-Teles 2008; Marsaro Junior et al. 2008; 2009; 2010) and Tocantins (Bomfim et al. 2007), parasitizing larvae of Anastrepha coronilli Carrejo & González, A. atrigona Hendel, A. fraterculus (Wiedemann) and A. striata Schiner. For a long time, D. adaimei was referred in the Brazilian literature as Doryctobracon sp. 2 (Marinho et al. 2017).

Doryctobracon areolatus

description: Doryctobracon areolatus (Szépligeti, 1911)
(Figure 1E)
Diagnosis. Occipital carina absent, clypeus with sinuate margin, notauli unsculptured, propodeum areolate with median longitudinal carina anteriorly and areola posteriorly, wings clear, fore wing with 2 nd submarginal cell short 4-sided, hind wing with m-cu present.
Comments. This is the most widespread fruit-fly parasitoid in the New World. In Brazil, D. areolatus is widely distributed, and it is the most common and abundant species parasitizing several Anastrepha species and Ceratitis capitata (Leonel Junior et al. 1 995; Canal & Zucchi 2000; Zucchi & Moraes 2008, 2012). Doryctobracon areolatus comprises a complex of cryptic species, and recently two new species closely similar to this parasitoid, D. adaimei and D. whartoni, were described (Marinho et al. 2017). Probably D. areolatus forages only on fruits still on the tree, as it did not forage on fallen fruits in a shade house (Silva et al. 2007). Doryctobracon areolatus is a parasitoid of the larva/pupa, but it can also parasitize eggs of A. obliqua, as reported in Mexico (Murillo et al. 2015). Studies on biological parameters and the potential use of D. areolatus as a biological agent for control of fruit flies are being carried out in Brazil (Nunes et al. 2011).

Doryctobracon brasiliensis

description: Doryctobracon brasiliensis (Szépligeti, 1911)
(Figure 1 F)
Diagnosis. This species is readily distinguished by the infumate fore wing and yellow stigma, propodeal sculpture reduced to two apical ridges, notauli incomplete, fore wing with 2 nd submarginal cell short with 4-sided, and hind wing with m-cu present.
Comments. Doryctobracon brasiliensis is distributed in northern, southwestern and southern Brazil, parasitizing nine Anastrepha species, including economically important species such as the South American fruit fly Anastrepha fraterculus, the West Indian fruit fly (A. obliqua), and also the Mediterranean fly (C. capitata) (Souza Filho 1999). For this reason, rearing techniques for D. brasiliensis are being studied in Brazil (Poncio et al. 2018).

Doryctobracon crawfordi

description: Doryctobracon crawfordi (Viereck, 1911)
(Figure 2A)
Diagnosis. Head dark and mandibles brownish, propodeal sculpture reduced to two apical ridges, wing evenly infumate, stigma blackish, 2 nd submarginal cell short with 4-sided.
Comments. The dark head easily distinguishes D. crawfordi from the other braconids that parasitize fruitinfesting tephritids. This parasitoid was found recently in Amapá and Roraima states of northern Brazil (Zucchi et al. 2011). Its known hosts are A. atrigona Hendel, A. coronilli Carrejo & González and A. serpentina (Wiedemann).

description: Doryctobracon fluminensis (Lima, 1938)
(Figure 2B)
Diagnosis. Propodeum areolate, fore wing evenly infumate, stigma brown, 2 nd submarginal cell short with 4-sided.
Comments. This is not a common species in fruit-fly surveys, although it has been recorded in five Brazilian states. Doryctobracon fluminensis was described from larvae of A. fraterculus collected in the state of Rio de Janeiro; however, it attacks five others species of Anastrepha as well (Zucchi & Moraes 2008). Sixty-five years
after the original description, D. fluminensis was rediscovered from larvae of Anastrepha montei Lima in Manihot esculenta Crantz, in the municipality of Rochedo, state of Mato Grosso do Sul (Uchôa et al. 2003).

Fopius arisanus

description: Fopius arisanus (Sonan, 1932)
(Figure 2D)
Diagnosis. Frons with large punctures (rugose appearance), occipital carina present, notauli crenulate, striate sculpturing on second metasomal tergum, fore wing hyaline with 2 nd submarginal cell short (3RSa less than or equal to 2RS), m-cu arising directly in line with 2RS, hind wing RS absent and m-cu present.
Comments. Fopius arisanus is easily separated from the other species discussed here, by its strongly sculptured body and dark thoracic pleura and abdomen. It is native to the Indo-Pacific Region and is an egg-larval parasitoid of fruit flies. It was introduced from Florida to Brazil by “Embrapa Semiárido” in 2012 (Paranhos et al. 2013; Santos et al. 2014; Sá & Pessoa 2015). In Brazil, it is being studied to control Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata (Groth et al. 2016).

Doryctobracon whartoni

description: Doryctobracon whartoni Marinho & Penteado-Dias, 2017
(Figure 2C)
Diagnosis. Fore wing infumate with two hyaline bands, one near base and one on apical half of wing; stigma yellow; propodeum areolate; 2 nd submarginal cell short 4-sided; hind wing m-cu present (details in Marinho et al. 2017).
Comments. Doryctobracon whartoni is closely related to D. areolatus and D. adaimei, but differs from these species in morphometric and molecular data (Marinho et al. 2017). These three species can be differentiated by wing color (see key). Doryctobracon whartoni occurs in Pedra Branca do Amapari, state of Amapá, parasitizing Anastrepha atrigona in fruits of Geissospermum argenteum Woodson (Deus et al. 2010). This species was previously mentioned in the Brazilian literature as Doryctobracon sp. 1 (Marinho et al. 2017).

Opius bellus

description: Opius bellus Gahan, 1930
(Figure 2E)
Diagnosis. Occipital carina absent, labrum concealed by clypeus when mandibles closed, notauli and midpit absent, propodeum with strong median carina, hind tibia with no basal carina, apex and base of posterior tibiae black or yellow, wings infumate, stigma broad, fore wing with (RS+M)b present, 2 nd submarginal cell long 4-sided, hind wing with m-cu absent.
Comments. Opius bellus belongs to the subgenus Bellopius Wharton, which is constituted of Neotropical species associated with tephritids, and it is characterized by the absence of the occipital carina and notauli (Wharton 1997). Opius bellus has dark-brown tibiae. In Brazil, some specimens have dark-brown tibiae and others have yellowish tibiae. These specimens were considered as Opius sp. aff. bellus for about two decades. However, based on geometric morphometry and molecular analyses, it was concluded that specimens with yellowish tibiae actually belong to O. bellus as well (Marinho et al. 2014). Opius bellus is quite common in several fruit-fly surveys, recorded in 22 Brazilian states, and is predominant in the state Amazonas (Canal et al. 1994, 1995) and Piauí (Araújo et al. 2014, Vilanova et al. 2016, Souza et al. 2017). It parasitizes 19 species of Anastrepha, including some of economic importance, and C. capitata (see Zucchi & Moraes 2008; 2012).

Utetes anastrephae

description: Utetes anastrephae (Viereck, 1913)
(Figure 2F)
Diagnosis. Clypeal margin truncate or concave, occipital carina absent, notauli short and not sculptured, propodeum rugose with irregular transverse carina on anterior half, hind tibia dorso-posteriorly with distinct basal carina, fore wing hyaline with 2 nd submarginal cell long 5-sided, stigma brown.
Comments. Utetes anastrephae was originally described as Opius anastrephae by Viereck in 1913, and was transferred by Fischer (1977) to the genus Bracanastrepha. Wharton (1988) retained Bracanastrepha as a subgenus of Utetes, where the species from the New World with a distinct carina at the base of the posterior tibia were placed. Utetes anastrephae is distributed throughout the Neotropical Region, and may be a complex of closely related species with subtle differences in ovipositor length, body sculpturing and host preference (Wharton 1997). It is the only species of Utetes recorded from species of Anastrepha. It occurs in 20 states in all five Brazilian regions, and has been found associated with 16 species of Anastrepha and with C. capitata (see Zucchi & Moraes 2008; 2012).

description: Cybaeus schusteri Bennett spec. nov.
Figs 50–53, 65–66, 70
Type material. Holotype ♂. U.S.A.: California: Napa County, 10 miles south of Monticello, 6 January 1957, R. O. Schuster (AMNH).
Paratypes. U.S.A.: California: Napa. 1♀, 5 mi. S of Monticello, 6.i.1957, R. O. Schuster (AMNH); 2♀, 10 mi. S of Monticello, 16.iii.1956, R. O. Schuster (AMNH); 1♀, 10 mi. S of Monticello, 17.ii.1957, R. O. Schuster (AMNH).
Etymology. The specific name is a patronym honouring the late R.O. Schuster who collected the holotype and paratypes of this species.
Diagnosis. The male of C. schusteri is diagnosed by the combination of about ten small peg setae arranged linearly along the dorsal surface and tip of the patellar apophysis (Fig. 51) and, on the proximal arm of the tegular apophysis (Figs 50, 65–66), the bifid tip with the terminations small, not pincer-like, and only slightly convergent and the presence of a small but prominent angular dorsal keel. Although no other male of the adenes group has this combination of characters, the males of C. schusteri and C. sanbruno can be confused; see the diagnosis of C. sanbruno for further discussion.
The female is distinguished by the inverted vase-shaped atrium which is narrowest anteriorly and widest posteriorly (Fig. 53). It may be difficult to differentiate some females of this species from females of C. adenes and C. grizzlyi. See the diagnosis of C. adenes for further discussion.
Description. Femora unbanded.
Male: (n=1). Small inconspicuous retrolateral ridge anteriorly on tibia dorsal to carinate retrolateral tibial apophysis (Fig. 51).
Holotype. CL 1.73, CW 1.30, SL 0.94, SW 0.86.
Female. (n=4). Length of atrium (from epigastric groove to anterior margin) about twice width (between lateral margins) (Fig. 53). Vulva (Fig. 53) as for C. adenes.
CL 1.75–2.10 (1.94), CW 1.26–1.45 (1.35), SL 0.94– 1.09 (1.02), SW 0.85–0.99 (0.93).
Note. The female of C. adenes from near St. Helena, Napa County (Figs 9–11), may prove to be a specimen of C. schusteri. Males and a larger sample of females from that area are needed to determine if one or both of C. adenes and C. schusteri occur in the St. Helena area.
Distribution. Monticello area near south end of Lake Berryessa, Napa County, in west central California (Fig. 70).

Figs 33–34, 71
Type material. Holotype ♀. U.S.A.: California: Alameda County, Calaveras Dam, 15 March 1939, W.M. Pearce (AMNH).
Etymology. The specific epithet is a patronym honoring W.M. Pearce, the collector of the only known specimen of this species.
Diagnosis. The female of C. pearcei is characterized by its small atrium (Figs 33–34): strongly concave and inverted U–shaped with inconspicuous relatively narrowly separated parallel lateral margins and length (from epigastric groove to anterior margin) 2.5–3.0 times width (between lateral margins). Other females of the adenes group that possess strongly concave inverted atria have the margins farther apart and not usually parallel and length to width ratios of 1.2–2.0 (C. adenes: Figs 4, 9; C. amicus: Figs 15–16; C. grizzlyi: Fig. 30; C. sanbruno: Figs 47–48; C. schusteri: Fig. 53; C. torosus: Fig. 54). The male is unknown.
Description. Femora unbanded.
Female: (n=1). Copulatory ducts (Fig. 34) attached to anterolateral margins of atrium, nearly contiguous anteriorly; Bennett’s glands small and inconspicuous although possibly the specimen is newly matured and the glands are not fully developed (see Bennett 2006).
Holotype CL 2.00, CW 1.38, SL 1.03, SW 0.98.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality near the southern boundary of Alameda County in west central California (Fig. 71).

Figs 54–55, 71
Type material. Holotype ♀. U.S.A.: California: Alameda County [no other locality data], 22 March 1941, W.M. Pearce (AMNH).
Paratypes. U.S.A.: California: Alameda. 3♀, same data as holotype.
Etymology. The specific name is from the Latin for “muscular, bulging” and refers to the resemblance of the vulva of this species in dorsal view to a muscle-flexing body-builder.
Diagnosis. The male is unknown.
The female of C. torosus is unlikely to be confused with females of other adenes group species and is distinguished by a combination of features of the atrium and the copulatory ducts. The atrium is inverted, U-shaped, and widest posteriorly (Fig. 54). The outer lateral margins of the copulatory ducts are clearly visible through the integument in ventral uncleared view of the epigynum (Fig. 54) and the ducts themselves are broad and lightly sclerotized anteriorly at their origin at the atrium and narrowed and heavily sclerotized closer to the spermathecal heads (Fig. 55).
Description. Abdomen very dark; femora lightly banded.
Female: (n=4). Length of atrium (from epigastric groove to anterior margin) about twice width (between lateral margins) (Fig. 55).
(n=4). CL 2.6–3.0 (2.9), CW 1.70–2.10 (1.93), SL 1.24–1.43 (1.35), SW 1.12–1.30 (1.25). Holotype CL 2.9, CW 1.93, SL 1.35, SW 1.29.
Distribution. Known only from the type locality in Alameda County on the east side of San Francisco Bay in west central California (Fig. 71).

description: Coenosia flavissima Hennig, 1961
Comments. A mysterious species. It was described by Hennig on the basis of only two males from Orenburg [51°46’N 55°06’E] in the European part of Russia (Hennig 1961b: 554), and no specimens (both males and females) are known apart from the holotype and the paratype. The Orenburg region borders on Kazakhstan, and it can be assumed that this is a Central Asian species that is widely distributed south of Orenburg.
The holotype and the paratype are deposited in the Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and they were studied by Pont & Werner (2006) and by Couri & Pont (2020). Coenosia flavissima resembles Coenosia ciliata Hennig, 1961 in the absence of basal scutellar setae but it is a very distinct species, easily recognized by its pale general colour and by the male terminalia (Fig. 478, plate XXIV in Hennig, 1961a).
Distribution. Palaearctic: Russia (SE).

Comments. A. M. Lobanov described Coenosia ghilarovi from a series of females and males from Zeya in the Amur region [53°44’N 127°15’E] (Lobanov 1988). The holotype male was stated to be in ZISP, but there is no specimen labeled as holotype or as paratypes, and there is also a series with another, unpublished, specific name, not Coenosia ghilarovi (Pont 2004). The species is known only from the original description and there are no specimens labelled as Coenosia ghilarovi in any collection.
This species has not been included in any of the published identification keys to Coenosia, but has now been included in this new key to Russian Coenosia based on the description by Lobanov. Coenosia ghilarovi is described as very similar to Coenosia mollicula (Fallén, 1825) and differs from the latter by the yellow colour of the pleura, anepisternum, postpronotal lobes and abdomen (see the key below), and in the structure of the terminalia. The male terminalia, taken from Lobanov (1988) are shown in the figures 3 F, G.

Comments. A new record for Russia.
Coenosia penicillata Hennig, 1961 was known only from Japan, and has now been found in the south of European Russia, and also in Turkey (N. Vikhrev pers. comm.). The presence of this species in the Far East of Russia is highly probable.
The terminalia of the Russian specimen of Coenosia penicillata are somewhat different from the terminalia of the Japanese specimens, but these differences are only according to the images made by S. Shinonaga (Figs 6 A–E).
The species is well defined by the short lower calypter, entirely black body and long hairy legs (Fig. 7 C).

Comments. Another mysterious species, which was described by Hennig (Hennig 1961c: 598) from the European part of Russia from Sarepta on the Volga, which is now a district in Volgograd [48°30’43’’ 44°32’59’’E]. No specimens of this species are known apart from the male holotype.
The holotype is deposited in the Museum für Naturkunde, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and it was studied by Pont & Werner (2006) and by Couri & Pont (2020). This species can be recognized by the enlarged dark brown tarsomere 5 on all legs and by the distinct male terminalia and cercal plate (Fig. 472, plate XXIV in Hennig, 1961a).

Comments. A new record for the Far East of Russia.
Coenosia ukokensis was described from Altai Mts and is similar morphologically to the northern Coenosia oralis Schnabl, 1915. The Altai specimens of Coenosia ukokensis have all tibiae brownish-yellow, darkened in apical 2/3–4/5 (Figs 7 H, I), unlike yellow tibiae of Coenosia oralis. Males of Coenosia ukokensis collected in the Magadan region have all tibiae yellow (Figs 8 E, F) which makes it difficult to distinguish these two species. To correctly identify them, it is necessary to study the male terminalia.
Distribution. Palaearctic: Russia (Siberia, NFE).

Derivatio nominis: Named after the country in which the types were found.
Diagnosis (Fig. 1): Wingspan 10 mm. Head white, scales around insertion of antennae pale grey, in the neck somewhat erected. Labial palpus oblique directed upwards, whitish, with pale scales outside on apex of the first two segments, third segment minute, pointed. Scape of antenna on underside white, on upperside pale, flagellum ringed. Thorax and tegulae white, tegulae basally with paler scales. Forewing ground-colour white with a pattern of grey and brown scales. On dorsum at 1/4 a dark brown, nearly square patch, reaching to cell; at 1/2 an indication of a band from costa to dorsum, first half darker brown than second half. On costa from base to 1/2 some short and thin dark brown lines. Fringe with two dark brown scale-lines. The entire area more or less overlaid with pale and brown scales. Hindwing grey.
Male genitalia (Figs 7–9): Uncus short, truncated, tegumen laterally narrow, ventrally nearly triangular, with long saccus, narrower to rounded tip; valva with more or less rounded basal part, costal arm short, with rounded tip; phallus as long as vinculum + saccus, broader than saccus, nearly straight.
