Redescription of Snellenius atratus and S. peruensis (Braconidae: Microgastrinae), and Distribution of the Genus in South America

Abstract

“Redescription of Snellenius atratus and S. peruensis (Braconidae: Micro- gastrinae), and Distribution of the Genus in South America”. Redescriptions of S. atratus Shenefelt y S. peruensis Shenefelt, cited for Peru, with the contribution of new characters and illustrations, as well as data on intra-specific variation for its better identification. The male genitalia are described for the first time of all South American species. Distribution maps of the four South American species described by Shenefelt 1968 (S. atratus, S. peruensis, S. bicolor and S. tricolor) are shown. New locations for Peru of these two first species and S. bicolor for Argentina are recorded.
