Abstract
Abstract. Larvae of the split-banded owl-butterfly, Opsiphanes fabricii fabricii (Boisduval), feed on leaflets of oil palm, Elaeis guineensis Jacq. (Arecaceae), from southeastern Mexico to Panama. Cotesia invirae Salgado-Neto & Whitfield was identified as a gregarious koinobiont endoparasitoid of 4th-5th instar larvae of O. fabricii fabricii. This is the first record of C. invirae parasitizing O. fabricii fabricii larvae in Mexico, which broadens the geographic distribution of the species in the neotropical region of the world. Field parasitism from June 2021 to May 2022 at two commercial oil palm plantations in the State of Tabasco, Mexico was 11.3% (“Las Palmas” farm) and 7.1% (“El Tintal” farm); 82% of parasitized larvae were found during the rainy season in the study area (July-September), which coincided with the most O. fabricii fabricii in the oil palm crop. Resumen. Las larvas de la mariposa búho de bandas divididas, Opsiphanes fabricii fabricii (Boisduval), se alimentan de los folíolos de la palma de aceite, Elaeis guineensis Jacq.

Cotesia invirae Salgado-Neto & Whitfield fue identificada como un endoparasitoide koinobionte gregario de larvas del cuarto y quinto estadio de O. fabricii fabricii. Este es el primer registro de C. invirae parasitando larvas de O. fabricii fabricii en México, lo que amplía la distribución geográfica de la especie en la región neotropical del mundo.

期刊介绍:
Manuscripts submitted for consideration for publication in the Southwestern Entomologist should report results of entomological research in the southwestern United States or Mexico or should report results of studies on entomological species, relevant to this region, which may be done elsewhere, provided such results are geographically applicable. Manuscripts that report results of routine laboratory or field experiments for which the primary purpose is gathering baseline data or those that report results of a continuous evaluation program such as preliminary pesticide evaluation experiments, species lists with no supporting biological data, or preliminary plant resistance evaluations are not acceptable. However, reports of experiments with insecticides, acaricides, and microbials are acceptable if they are comprehensive and include data related to economics, resistance, toxicology, or other broad subject areas. Bibliographies will not be published in Southwestern Entomologist.
