Revision of Ooctonus (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) in the Nearctic region

By J. T. Huber
Journal of the Entomological Society of Ontario, 2012

Abstract: The genus Ooctonus Haliday (Hymenoptera: Mymaridae) includes 14 species in the Nearctic Region north of Mexico. The known species are redescribed and five new species are described: O. arizonensis Huber, sp. n., O. boltei Huber, sp. n., O. longipetiolus Huber sp. n., O. readae Huber, sp. n., and O. triapitsyni Huber, sp. n. One new synonym is proposed: O. auripes Whittaker, syn. n., under O. vulgatus Haliday. A key to females is given. Known hosts in North America are Cercopoidea (one species of Aphrophora Germar and one of Philaenus Stål) and, in the Old World, Cicadellidae (one species of Nephotettix Matsumura and one of Cicadella Latreille).
