Parasitoid wasps are known to be among the most abundant and species-rich on Earth and thus considered an ecologically important group of arthropods. Braconid wasps play a key role in regulating the populations of Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Diptera. However, the biology and taxonomy of numerous parasitoid species remain poorly known. In Mexico, only 17 species of the subfamily Cheloninae have been described. A new species of Zettel, 1990 (Hymenoptera, Braconidae), , is described from Nayarit, Mexico. The tortricid moth Gilligan & Brown, 2011 is reported as the host of this parasitoid wasp. Detailed taxonomic and barcoding information are provided.
寄生蜂是地球上数量最多、物种丰富的生物之一,因此被认为是节肢动物中具有重要生态意义的一类。茧蜂在调节鳞翅目、鞘翅目和双翅目昆虫的种群数量方面发挥着关键作用。然而,许多寄生蜂物种的生物学特性和分类学仍鲜为人知。在墨西哥,仅描述了Cheloninae亚科的17个物种。本文描述了一种来自墨西哥纳亚里特的新物种Zettel, 1990(膜翅目,茧蜂科)。据报道,这种寄生蜂的寄主是2011年发现的卷蛾科蛾类Gilligan & Brown。文中提供了详细的分类学和条形码信息。
