A new Baryscapus Forster (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) parasitic on Diorhabda elongata Brulle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) and implications for the biological control of Saltcedar (Tamaricaceae: Tamarix spp.) in the southwestern United States

摘要

Baryscapus diorhabdivorus Gates and Myartseva, new species, (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is described and illustrated. This species was reared from the salt-cedar leaf beetle, Diorhabda elongata Brulle (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), in Turkmenistan. It is compared to closely related species, and its implications for the biological control of Tamarix spp. are discussed.
