Taxonomic Concept

The leucotela species-group of Conura Spinola (Hymenoptera: Chalcididae) was initially proposed to include C. leucotela (Walker 1862) within the subgenus Spilochalcis Thomson. Despite this treatment, the accurate identification of C. leucotela is not possible based on the literature. In this paper, C. leucotela is redescribed and two new species, C. paraleucotela sp. nov. and C. pseudoleucotela sp. nov., are described within the leucotela group, with all the species based on female singletons. Additionally, diagnoses and illustrations are presented for two other unnamed species based on males. The taxonomic concept of the species group is discussed, and new diagnostic characters are proposed. An identification key and illustration of species are provided. The morphology of the coupling mechanism of the propodeum and gaster of some species of the leucotela group and its relation with possible hosts is discussed. A short discussion of rarity of the leucotela group is presented.

The Aleiodes pallidator species-group is defined, and an identification key is provided for the five species known to occur in the U.S.A. and Canada. Two new species are described: Aleiodes martini Shaw and Marsh, from Florida, and A. xanthoclypeus Shaw and Marsh, known from Canada and Wisconsin, and reared from Lymantriidae species including Dasychira plagiata (Walker) and Olene grisefacta (a new host record for the genus Aleiodes). Five species are illustrated, and their host associations are summarized.

AbstractHistorically, the identity and distribution of some Bothriurus species from Patagonia have not been clear. The previous concepts of the Bothriurus patagonicus species group may comprise more than one species. Two new species, Bothriurus huincul sp. n. and B. sanctaecrucis sp. n., are described, and additional morphological and distributional data of B. patagonicus, and B. burmeisteri are provided. An identification key and a map with all the records of Patagonian Bothriurus species are provided. Phylogenetic and biogeographic aspects of Patagonian Bothriurus, reflecting ancient connections of Patagonia with the center and north of Chile, are discussed.
