Name
Euplectrus platyhypenae Howard – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Euplectrus platyhypenae Howard, 1885: 26. Lectotype ♂ (USNM), designated here, examined.
Material
Type material: ♂ lectotype of Euplectrus platyhypenae (USNM). Additional material: COSTA RICA: 12♀ 1♂ from Guanacaste on Spodoptera frugiperda; caterpillar project voucher code: 05-SRNP-16047, no barcode (BMNH, CNC, INBio, USNM).
Diagnosis
Lower face black (Figs 637, 638); legs yellowish-brown (Fig. 636); eyes small (Fig. 492); propodeum with a triangular median carina (Fig. 796); petiole 0.6× as long as wide; gaster yellowish-brown with black lateral margins (female, Fig. 639), or black with a large yellowish-white spot in apical ½ (male, Fig. 640); male antenna with scape slightly expanded, widest in the middle, and 3.1× as long as wide (Fig. 643).
Description
Female. Length of body 2.1 mm. Antenna with scape yellowish-white in basal ½ and yellowish-brown in apical ½, pedicel yellowish-brown, flagellomeres yellowish-brown ventrally and dark brown dorsally (Fig. 641). Mandibles and palpi yellowish-white. Head including lower face black and shiny (Fig. 637). Frons close to eyes with two irregular rows of setae (Fig. 492). Vertex with very weak reticulation, smooth lateral to posterior ocelli (Fig. 493). Occipital margin rounded (Fig. 493).
Mesosoma black and shiny (Fig. 636). Each sidelobe of mesoscutum with eight setae. Scutellum 0.9× as long as wide; with weak reticulation (Fig. 494). Dorsellum along anterior margin with a very narrow groove that is divided by longitudinal carinae (Fig. 796), groove medially 0.1× as long as length of dorsellum. Propodeum with very weak reticulation (Fig. 796); anteromedially with a triangular cup; propodeal callus with 15 setae. Legs yellowish-brown (Fig. 636). Fore wing: costal cell with one complete row of setae on ventral surface, and margin with three setae close to marginal vein; with 18 admarginal setae mainly in one row, in apical ⅓ in two rows.
Gaster yellowish-brown with lateral margins black (Fig. 639).
Ratios. HE/MS/WM = 1.5/1.0/1.0; POL/OOL/POO = 6.1/3.6/1.0; OOL/DO = 1.5; WE/WF/WH/HH = 1.0/2.8/4.6/3.4; WH/WT = 1.1; PM/ST = 1.4; TS1/TS2/LT/LT1/LT2/LT3/LT4 = 4.7/2.4/7.8/3.1/1.6/1.0/1.9; LP/WP = 0.6; MM/LG = 1.0.
Male. Length of body 1.7 mm. Scape yellowish-white, slightly expanded and widest in the middle (Fig. 643), sensory pores confined to apicoventral ⅔. Similar to female except gaster shorter and black with a large yellowish-white spot in apical ½ (Fig. 640).
Ratios. LC/WS = 3.1; MM/LG = 1.3.
Hosts and biology
Plathypena scabra (Howard 1885[1]), Spodoptera frugiperda feeding on Cipura campanulata (Iridaceae) (new record) (both hosts are Noctuidae).
Distribution
USA (D.C.) (Howard 1885[1]), Costa Rica (Guanacaste Province) (new record).
Euplectrus platyhypenae was described from one female and one male but no primary type was selected. The male labeled “Euplectrus platyhypenae How. ms.”, “No.657, P.o, July 11.82”, “Type No. 1655, U.S.N.M.”, is hereby selected as lectotype.
The name of this species is frequently misspellt in the literature, as “Euplectrus plathypenae”, as is also the host Spodoptera frugiperda, as “Spodoptera fugiperda”.
