Article Abstract
A new species of (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), sp. nov., is recognized to be fortuitously present on a population of the invasive ( × ) gall wasp Chen & Yao, in Guangxi, China. To classify this species, an integrated approach of morphological characteristics and molecular data was applied. The morphology of the new species is described and illustrated, and an identification key for female and male adults is also presented. Regarding phylogenetic analyses, the position of sp. nov. within the group of genera was reaffirmed based on and gene sequences. All these lines of evidence indicate that sp. nov. is a new species.

Introduction: The agricultural pests (Diptera: Agromyzidae) and (Thysanoptera: Thripidae) harbor the endosymbiont , which induces cytoplasmic incompatibility and thelytokous parthenogenesis (asexual reproduction of female offspring without fertilization), respectively. The parasitoid (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae), a natural enemy of leaf miners, is infected with , which also induces thelytokous parthenogenesis. Although symbionts can be eliminated in laboratory settings using antibiotics mixed with physical manipulation, the effects of agrochemical antibiotics designed for plant disease control on these insects and their symbionts remain unexplored.

The gall wasp Leptocybe invasa Fisher & La Salle (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is a major limiting factor in the cultivation of eucalyptus both in Brazil and across the world. This insect induces a gall formation on the principal veins of leaves, apices and petioles. This study investigated the impact of inoculating the fungus T.

In Hawai'i, the eurytomid wasp, Gates & Delvare (Hymenoptera: Eurytomidae), was introduced and approved for statewide release in 2008 to control the erythrina gall wasp (EGW) Kim. EGW has devastated the wiliwili trees, Degener (Fabaceae), an ecologically and culturally important native Hawaiian tree species.
