Homoporus anthrisci sp. n. (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) reared from puparia of Melanagromyza nigrissima Spencer in stems of Anthriscus sylvestris in South Finland

Abstract

The female and male of Homoporus anthrisci sp. n. are described from Janakkala, South Finland. The species was reared as a solitary endoparasitoid from puparia of Melanagromyza nigrissima Spencer (Diptera: Agromyzidae) in stems of Anthriscus sylvestris. Two other species of Pteromalidae, Syntomopus incisus Thomson and Chlorocytus spicatus (Walker) were also reared from puparia of Melanagromyza nigrissima in Janakkala, which is a new host for these two species.
