New rearing records for Eulophidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea) from the United States
(2026) In Zootaxa 5826(1). p.1-109- Abstract
we present rearing records of Eulophidae resulting from five years of collecting leafminers and other herbivorous insects throughout the United States. These include the first documented hosts for Chrysocharis beckeri Yoshimoto, C. minuta (hansson), Closterocerus damastes walker (identification tentative), Diaulinopsis albiscapus (girault), Elasmus borrowi girault, Neochrysocharis cyaneoviridis hansson, N. elongatus hansson, N. epimeralis hansson, N. texensis hansson, Omphale obscurinotata (girault), and Sympiesis marilandia girault. New host and distribution records are presented for 59 other species, including the first record of Diglyphus insularis (gahan) from continental North America, along with rearing records of many additional...

we present rearing records of Eulophidae resulting from five years of collecting leafminers and other herbivorous insects throughout the United States. These include the first documented hosts for Chrysocharis beckeri Yoshimoto, C. minuta (hansson), Closterocerus damastes walker (identification tentative), Diaulinopsis albiscapus (girault), Elasmus borrowi girault, Neochrysocharis cyaneoviridis hansson, N. elongatus hansson, N. epimeralis hansson, N. texensis hansson, Omphale obscurinotata (girault), and Sympiesis marilandia girault. New host and distribution records are presented for 59 other species, including the first record of Diglyphus insularis (gahan) from continental North America, along with rearing records of many additional eulophids that have been identified only to genus or tribe. For each species identified, we review host and distribution records from the literature and comment on host specificity and other biological observations.
