Abstract

Three new species of Tabanidae egg parasitoids are described: Telenomus hybomitraesp. nov. and Telenomus utilissp. nov., both reared from eggs of Hybomitra nitidifrons nuda (McDunnough) and Hybomitra lasiophthalma Macquart, and Telenomus chrysopsissp. nov., reared from eggs of Chrysops aestuans Wulp, Chrysops excitans Walker, and Chrysops mitis Osten Sacken. Specimens of these species were compared with type specimens of known New World species of scelionid parasitoids attacking tabanid eggs. Diagnostic characters and identification key to the Nearctic species are provided.

Résumé

On trouvera ici les descriptions de trois nouvelles espèces de parasitoïdes d'oeufs de Tabanidae : Telenomus hybomitraesp. nov. et Telenomus utilissp. nov., obtenus tous les deux dans des élevages d'oeufs de Hybomitra nitidifrons nuda (McDunnough) et de Hybomitra lasiophthalma Macquart ainsi que Telenomus chrysopsissp. nov., obtenu dans des élevages d'oeufs de Chrysops aestuans Wulp, de Chrysops excitans Walker et de Chrysops mitis Osten Sacken. Des spécimens des trois espèces ont pu être comparés aux types des Telenomus du Nouveau Monde reconnus comme parasitoïdes des oeufs de tabanides. On trouvera aussi une liste des caractères diagnostiques des espèces nouvelles et une clé d'identification des espèces néarctiques.
