  • Revision of Canadian Eurytomidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) associated with galls induced by cynipid wasps of the genus Diplolepis Geoffroy (Hymenoptera, Cynipidae) and description of a new species
    Pensoft Publishers, 2017
    Co-Authors: Miles Y. Zhang, Michael W Gates, Joseph D. Shorthouse
    Abstract:

    Eurytomids are small parasitic wasps associated with many communities of phytophagous insects. In most cases, the accurate identification of eurytomids is impeded by inadequate species descriptions that do not include figures of diagnostic features, and keys that are difficult to use. Here, diagnostic features and redescriptions are provided for both sexes of the eurytomids associated with galls induced by cynipid wasps of the genus Diplolepis Geoffroy found on shrub roses across Canada. Consequently, six species of Eurytoma Illiger, along with Tenuipetiolus ruber Bugbee, are dealt with. One new species, Eurytoma shorthousei Zhang & Gates, sp. n., is described. Two species are synonymized, E. hebes Bugbee, 1973 and E. spina Bugbee, 1951 under E. longavena Bugbee, 1951, syn. n. Several new host and distribution records are reported. A dichotomous key is provided for both sexes of all seven species using photographs and scanning electron microscopy images

  • biology of Eurytoma sivinskii an unusual eurytomid hymenoptera parasitoid of fruit fly diptera tephritidae pupae
    Florida Entomologist, 2008
    Co-Authors: J Menacorrea, Michael W Gates, John Sivinski, Ricardo Ramirezromero, Martin Aluja
    Abstract:

    Abstract The recently described Mexican parasitic wasp Eurytoma sivinskii Gates and Grissell (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), attacks Anastrepha obliqua (Diptera: Tephritidae) pupae in the soil. The life cycle (egg to adult) is completed in 23.1 (± 2.1) d (mean ± S.E.) at 27 ± 2°C. Females were capable of superparasitism and laid 1-8 eggs per host (2.59 ± 1.56, mean ± S.E.), but invariably only 1 adult parasitoid emerged. Oviposition occurred primarily in the medial and posterior portions of the host. Eurytoma sivinskii is ectoparasitic since 100% of the eggs are laid within the internal cavity of the puparium and on the surface of the pupa of the host fly. In no case were first and second instars parasitized. However, 1 third-instar out of 625 fly pupae exposed, yielded a single parasitoid per host. Eight-day-old pupae yielded the most parasitoids although females laid eggs in 1-d- to 14-d-old pupae. There were no significant differences in rates of parasitism among female E. sivinskii of different ages. Adul...

  • description of the immature stages of Eurytoma sivinskii gates and grissell hymenoptera eurytomidae an ectoparasitoid of anastrepha diptera tephritidae pupae in mexico 1
    Entomological News, 2008
    Co-Authors: Michael W Gates, John Sivinski, Mena J Correa, Martin Aluja
    Abstract:

    3 ABSTRACT: We describe and illustrate for the first time the egg, larva, and pupa of Eurytoma sivin- skii Gates and Grissell (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), a parasitoid that attacks Anastrepha obliqua (Macquart) pupae in Veracruz, Mexico. We obtained the immature stages of E. sivinskii using lab-reared A. ludens (Loew) pupae as hosts.

  • a new species of Eurytoma hymenoptera eurytomidae attacking quadrastichus spp hymenoptera eulophidae galling erythrina spp fabaceae with a summary of african Eurytoma biology and species checklist
    Zootaxa, 2008
    Co-Authors: Michael W Gates, Gérard Delvare
    Abstract:

    Eurytoma erythrinae Gates and Delvare, new species, is described and illustrated. This species was reared from fieldcollected galls on Erythrina spp. (Fabaceae) induced by Quadrastichus spp. (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), in Tanzania, Ghana, and South Africa. It is compared with very similar African species, Eurytoma radicicola Risbec. Afrotropical species classified in Eurytoma are reviewed and twenty-seven new combinations are proposed: Aximopsis acaciacola (Hedqvist) comb. n., A. caryedocida (Rasplus) comb. n., A. lamtoensis (Rasplus) comb. n., A. mateui (Hedqvist) comb. n., A. mimosarum (Rasplus) comb. n., A. obocki (Risbec) comb. n., A. oryzivora (Delvare) comb. n., A. saharensis (Hedqvist) comb. n., A. senegalensis (Risbec) comb. n., A. tropicana (Risbec) comb. n., Bruchophagus conapionis (Rasplus) comb. n., Fronsoma ellenbergeri (Risbec) comb. n., Gibsonoma amborasahae (Risbec) comb. n., G. aphloiae (Risbec) comb. n., G. bararakae (Risbec) comb. n., G. eugeniae (Risbec) comb. n., G. mandrakae (Risbec) comb. n., G. pauliani (Risbec) comb. n., G. plectroniae (Risbec) comb. n., G. tavolae (Risbec) comb. n., Philolema arachnovora (Hesse) comb. n., P. arnoldi (Waterston) comb. n., P. bambeyi (Risbec) comb. n., P. braconidis (Ferriere) comb. n., and P. syleptae (Ferri_re) comb. n., Phylloxeroxenus cressoni (Howard) comb. n., and Sycophila plectroniae (Risbec) comb. n. Lectotypes are designated for ten species: Eurytoma perineti Risbec, E. radicicola Risbec, E. toddaliae Risbec, Gibsonoma amborasahae (Risbec), G. aphloiae (Risbec), G. eugeniae (Risbec), G. mandrakae (Risbec), G. pauliani (Risbec), G. tavolae (Risbec), and P. bambeyi (Risbec). We also provide a checklist of Afrotropical species that are or were classified in Eurytoma and tabulate the known host/associations of these species with references.

  • a new phytophagous species of Eurytoma hymenoptera eurytomidae attacking werauhia gladioliflora bromeliales bromeliaceae
    Zootaxa, 2004
    Co-Authors: Michael W Gates, Alfredo Cascantemarin
    Abstract:

    Eurytoma werauhia Gates, new species, is described and illustrated. This species was reared from the floral buds of Werauhia gladioliflora (Wendl.) (Bromeliales: Bromeliaceae), in Costa Rica. This plant represents a new host record for the genus. Eurytoma werauhia is compared with other known species of Eurytoma, primarily due to its host and metasomal coloration.
