A new species of Trichogramma Westwood (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae) is described: Trichogramma foersteri sp. nov. Takahashi from eggs of Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner, (Lepidoptera: Erebidae) a major soybean defoliating pest. The parasitoid was collected in São José dos Pinhais, Paraná State, Brazil, and molecular and morphological characters were used to confirm the identity of the new species. Preliminary biological data are provided to demonstrate its high capacity of parasitism. The new species is a potential candidate as a biological control agent against some lepidopteran-pests.
巴西豆野螟赤眼蜂（Takahashi），其寄主为美洲大豆叶甲（Anticarsia gemmatalis Hübner）的卵，后者是一种严重为害大豆的鳞翅目害虫。该寄生蜂在巴西圣若泽多斯坎波斯（São José dos Pinhais）被采集到，并用分子和形态学特征对新种进行了确认。本文还提供了初步的生物学数据，以证明其高度的寄生能力。该新种可能成为一些鳞翅目害虫的生物防治候选种。
