Name
Zagrammosoma Ashmead, 1904 – Wikispecies link – Pensoft Profile
- Hippocephalus Ashmead, 1888: viii. Type species: Hippocephalus multilineatus Ashmead; by monotypy; preoccupied by Hippocephalus Swainson, 1839 in fishes.
- Zagrammosoma Ashmead, 1904: 354, 393. Replacement name for Hippocephalus Ashmead (not Swainson).
- Zagrammatosoma Schulz, 1906: 142. Unjustified emendation.
- Mirzagrammosoma Girault, 1915: 279. Type species: Mirzagrammosoma lineaticeps Girault; by monotypy; synonymized by La Salle 1989[1]: 230, 232.
Diagnosis
Vertex vaulted and extending above level of compound eyes; funicle 2-segmented; pronotum elongate; notaulus curved and extending to anterior half of axilla; axilla strongly advanced, typically elongate, mostly anterior to scutellum; mesoscutum elongate, longer than scutellum; scutellum with 2 pairs setae, and 2 parallel submedian grooves which are often difficult to discern due to color pattern; forewing often with fuscate areas; propodeum without plicae, but with remnants of a median carina; color at least partly yellow, often with striking patterns, not metallic.
Biology
The biology of Zagrammosoma has been poorly studied, but its taxonomic host range seems to be quite wide but within a narrow ecological niche. Species are ectoparasitoids, mostly of the larvae or pupae of leafminers from several insect orders, including Lepidoptera and Diptera (La Salle 1989[1]), occasionally Coleoptera (Peck 1951[2]) and Hymenoptera (Ubaidillah et al. 2000[3]), and in total 15 families in the above four orders (Noyes 2013[4]).
