Abstract
ABSTRACT The adult male of Xenos colombiensis n. sp. is described from a specimen extracted from the pupal case of its host, Polistes meyersi. While several species of Strepsiptera are known to parasitze species of Polistes in South America, this is the first species known to parasitize P. meyersi. An identification key is provided for adult males of Xenos species parasitizing Polistes species in the New World.
摘要:本文描述了哥伦比亚色斑虫(Xenos colombiensis n. sp.)的成年雄性,其标本取自其寄主Polistes meyersi的蛹。虽然已知有几种链翅目昆虫寄生于南美洲的Polistes物种,但这是已知的第一个寄生于迈耶氏疟原虫的物种。为新大陆色盲蝽成年雄虫寄生于色盲蝽提供了识别钥匙。
期刊介绍:
Contributions are accepted on any of the aspects of systematics and taxonomy of insects. This includes: taxonomic revisions, phylogenetics, biogeography and faunistics, and descriptive morphology of insects. Taxonomic papers describing single species are acceptable if such a study is sufficiently justified, however, comprehensive studies that provide a comparative, integrated study of insect systematics and taxonomy will get priority.
