A new species of parasitoid wasp, Meteorus rugonasus Shaw and Jones (Hymenoptera: Braconidae), is described from the Yanayacu Biological Station, Napo Province, Ecuador. The new species is diagnosed and compared to other species in the genus. It was reared from larvae of Pteronymia zerlina (Hewitson, 1855) (Lepidoptera: Nymphalidae, Ithomiinae) found feeding on leaves of Solanum (Solanaceae). The parasitoid is solitary. This is the first record of a Meteorus species attacking ithomiine Nymphalidae.

一种新的寄生蜂,皱瘤流星茧蜂Meteorus rugonasus Shaw和Jones(膜翅目:茧蜂科),是在厄瓜多尔纳波省的亚纳亚库生物站发现并描述的。对该新物种进行了诊断,并与该属的其他物种进行了比较。它是从泽氏珍蝶Pteronymia zerlina(赫维森,1855年)(鳞翅目:蛱蝶科,伊托米蛱蝶亚科)的幼虫中饲养出来的,这些幼虫取食茄属(茄科)植物的叶子。这种寄生蜂为单寄生。这是流星茧蜂属物种攻击伊托米蛱蝶亚科蛱蝶科的首次记录。一种新的寄生蜂,皱瘤流星茧蜂Meteorus rugonasus Shaw和Jones(膜翅目:茧蜂科),是在厄瓜多尔纳波省的亚纳亚库生物站发现并描述的。对该新物种进行了诊断,并与该属的其他物种进行了比较。它是从泽氏珍蝶Pteronymia zerlina(赫维森,1855年)(鳞翅目:蛱蝶科,伊托米蛱蝶亚科)的幼虫中饲养出来的,这些幼虫取食茄属(茄科)植物的叶子。这种寄生蜂为单寄生。这是流星茧蜂属物种攻击伊托米蛱蝶亚科蛱蝶科的首次记录。
