Abstract

Flies of the family Tachinidae are parasitoids of a wide range of arthropods, and some tachinid lineages specialised and coevolved with distinct hosts. A few of these tachinids use social Hymenoptera as hosts. However, they are usually attacked by their hosts and present different strategies to avoid their aggressiveness. Here, we describe the first parasitoid fly that enters a wasp nest without being attacked, Brevialata deceptrix Dios & Gudin, gen. et sp. nov., reared from nests of Agelaia vicina (de Saussure, 1854) in Cajuru, São Paulo, Brazil. Additionally, it is the first tachinid fly with reduced wings, presenting a peculiar morphology, with reduced chaetotaxy, stout legs, and tarsi with digitiform extensions. Males of B. deceptrix Dios & Gudin, gen. et sp. nov. are fully described and illustrated, including detailed images of tarsal structures. We present a discussion on B. deceptrix Dios & Gudin, gen. et sp. nov. remarkable morphology, systematic positioning and curious life habits.

第一个诱骗黄蜂的有翅蝇：Brevialata austrtrix Dios & Gudin， gen. et sp. 11 .（双翅目：茧蜂科），新寄生蜂（de Saussure, 1854）（膜翅目：茧蜂科）和该科第一个减翅记录

速蝇科蝇是多种节肢动物的寄生物，一些速蝇谱系与不同的寄主特化和共同进化。其中一些速虫以群居膜翅目昆虫为寄主。然而，它们通常会受到宿主的攻击，并采取不同的策略来避免宿主的攻击。在这里，我们描述了第一个进入胡蜂巢穴而不被攻击的寄生蜂，Brevialata狂蜂Dios；Gudin, gen. et sp. nov.，在巴西圣保罗州Cajuru的Agelaia vicina （de Saussure, 1854）的巢中饲养。此外，它是第一个具有减少翅膀的速蝇，呈现出独特的形态，具有减少的毛分类，粗壮的腿和具有数字形式延伸的跗关节。霸天虎雄性Gudin, gen. et sp. 11 .被充分描述和说明，包括跗骨结构的详细图像。我们提出了关于霸天虎Dios &；奇特的形态、系统的定位和奇特的生活习性。

期刊介绍： Austral Entomology is a scientific journal of entomology for the Southern Hemisphere. It publishes Original Articles that are peer-reviewed research papers from the study of the behaviour, biology, biosystematics, conservation biology, ecology, evolution, forensic and medical entomology, molecular biology, public health, urban entomology, physiology and the use and control of insects, arachnids and myriapods. The journal also publishes Reviews on research and theory or commentaries on current areas of research, innovation or rapid development likely to be of broad interest – these may be submitted or invited. Book Reviews will also be considered provided the works are of global significance. Manuscripts from authors in the Northern Hemisphere are encouraged provided that the research has relevance to or broad readership within the Southern Hemisphere. All submissions are peer-reviewed by at least two referees expert in the field of the submitted paper. Special issues are encouraged; please contact the Chief Editor for further information.
