Chalcid (or ichneumonid) from Eupatorium blotch mine - Glyphogaster
Fredericton, York County, New Brunswick, Canada
August 22, 2017
Size: 3mm
Eupatorium maculatum leaves collected 22 Aug 2017 from silver maple riparian habitat. Leaves had extensive to small blotch mines. This 3mm wasp emerged late August to early September, exact date not recorded. Possibly an ichneumonid but could be a chalcidoid. Specimen FWA-03. Blotch possibly created by AGROMYZIDAE Phytomyzinae: Calycomyza flavinotum.

Moved
Moved from Opius.

This female specimen was reviewed by Jose Fernandez-Triana at the Canadian National Collection in Ottawa and determined to be a species of Glyphogaster (Alysiinae), possibly a new species. Charley Eiseman says that "a blotch mine on the host plant, Eupatorium maculatum, is "very likely to be from Calycomyza flavinotum, given that we know the miner was a fly due to the parasitoid being an alysiine braconid."

Further study of the specimen will include DNA barcoding.

There is only one described species of Glyphogaster, and this specimen is "different", according to Fernandez-Triana.

Can you tell us more about this move?
Did someone else provide the new ID? If so, can you let us know who the individual was, and share any comments he or she may have had regarding the determination?

Thanks.
