In the shade of a snow flat: Parasitoids of Tagiades litigiosa Möschler (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) with the description of a new species of Brachymeria Westwood (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) from South India.
The water snow flat Tagiades litigiosa Möschler (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae), widely distributed across tropical regions, has been the subject of limited studies on its natural enemies. Here, we report the first recorded instance of pupal parasitoids Tagiades litigiosa from South India. A newly discovered species, Brachymeria tagiades sp. nov. is described and illustrated as a pupal parasitoid of this butterfly. Additionally, we record B. bengalensis (Cameron, 1897) and B. euploeae (Westwood, 1837) (Brachymeriinae) and Tainaniella malabarica Narendran, 1989 (Haltichellinae) emerging from T. litigiosa pupae in the same region. An unidentified braconid parasitoid was also observed attacking the larvae of T. litigiosa. Furthermore, the genus Tainaniella Masi is reviewed, with detailed illustrations and redescriptions based on fresh specimen of T. malabarica and type images from various repositories.
期刊介绍:
Systematic Parasitology publishes papers on the systematics, taxonomy and nomenclature of the following groups: Nematoda (including plant-parasitic), Monogenea, Digenea, Cestoda, Acanthocephala, Aspidogastrea, Cestodaria, Arthropoda (parasitic copepods, hymenopterans, mites, ticks, etc.), Protozoa (parasitic groups), and parasitic genera in other groups, such as Mollusca, Turbelleria, etc. Systematic Parasitology publishes fully illustrated research papers, brief communications, and fully illustrated major revisions. In order to maintain high standards, all contributors describing new taxa are asked to state clearly where the holotype is deposited and to make paratypes available for examination by the referees. It is recognized that, in some cases, this may cause problems for the authors, but it is hoped that by adhering to this rule authors may be protected against rapid synonymy of their taxa, and the types will be preserved for posterity.
