Abstract

In the present study a fourth trophic level, plant-host-parasitoid-hyperparasitoid interaction has been recorded. A new species of the genus Nesolynx Ashmead, 1905 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae: Tetrastichinae), Nesolynx banabitanae Gadallah, Chakrovorty & Basu Roy has been discovered from West Bengal, India. The new species is described and illustrated using light microscopy photographs, scanning electron microscopy photographs and line diagrams. It has been recorded as a new hyperparasitoid of the lepidopteran koinobiont endoparasitoid Charops aditya Gupta and Maheshwary, 1971 (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Campopleginae: Campoplegini). The caterpillar of common palmfly butterfly, Elymnias hypermnestra (Linnaeus, 1763) (Nymphalidae: Satyrinae: Elymniini) and the common castor butterfly, Ariadne merione (Cramer, 1777) (Nymphalidae: Biblidinae: Biblidini) are also recorded here as new lepidopteran hosts of Charops aditya. Furthermore, the antennal sensilla of Nesolynx banabitanae Gadallah, Chakrovorty & Basu Roy are described. Sensilla Basiconica Capitate Peg (SBCP), Sensilla Chaetica (SCH), Sensilla Placodea (SP), Sensilla Trichodea (ST), Sensilla Styloconica (SST), and Microtrichia (MT) are among the six types of sensilla observed on the antennae of both the sexes. Eleven subtypes of sensilla were identified, and the similarities and differences between the sexes were examined.

印度西孟加拉邦高寄生蜂一新种（膜翅目：蜂科：四蜂科）触角感器的扫描电镜分析

在本研究的第四个营养水平，植物-寄主-寄主-超寄主相互作用已被记录。在印度西孟加拉邦发现一新种（膜翅目：蜂蜂科：四蜂科），Nesolynx banabitanae Gadallah, Chakrovorty & Basu Roy)。利用光学显微镜照片、扫描电子显微镜照片和线形图对新种进行了描述和说明。它被记录为鳞翅目koinobione内寄生类Charops aditya Gupta和Maheshwary， 1971（膜翅目：姬蜂科：假蜂科：假蜂科）的一种新的超寄生性昆虫。常见棕榈蛱蝶的毛虫Elymnias hypermnestra (Linnaeus, 1763)（蛱蝶科：Satyrinae: Elymniini）和常见蓖麻蛱蝶的毛虫Ariadne merione (Cramer, 1777)（蛱蝶科：Biblidinae: Biblidini）也被记录为Charops aditya鳞翅目新寄主。此外，还描述了Nesolynx banabitanae Gadallah， Chakrovorty和Basu Roy的触角感觉器。在两性触角上观察到的6种感觉器分别为Basiconica Capitate Peg （SBCP）、senilla Chaetica （SCH）、senilla Placodea （SP）、senilla Trichodea （ST）、senilla Styloconica （SST）和Microtrichia （MT）。鉴定了11个感受器亚型，并分析了两性之间的异同。ZOOBANK出版ID: urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:F3C4054D-B39F-4C15-BCAF-359E670AE581。
