Melittobia digitata dahms (hymenoptera: eulophidae) and monodontomerus mexicanus gahan (hym.: pteromalidae) on a nest of trypoxylon (trypargilum) mexicanum (saussure) (hym.: crabronidae) collected near Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico
In a mud-nest built by Trypoxylon mexicanum, collected near Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico, we recorded the presence of two parasitoids Monodontomerus mexicanus (Pteromalidae) and Melittobia digitata (Eulophidae), and one ant: Solenopsis geminata (Formicidae). The pteromalid is reported for the first time...

The pteromalid is reported for the first time from Veracruz while the eulophid is reported from Mexico attacking another hymenopteran. The presence of an ant inside an empty cell is possibly just a coincidence. |
