Doryctobracon adaimei Marinho & Penteado-Dias, 2017

( Figure 1D )

Diagnosis. Fore wing infumate, with a broad rounded hyaline spot from stigma to middle of R1a but not reaching the posterior margin, stigma dark brown, propodeum areolate (details in Marinho et al. 2017).

Comments. It is close to D. areolatus and D. whartoni but is differentiated from both by morphometric and molecular data ( Marinho et al. 2017), and also by wing color (see key). Doryctobracon adaimei occurs in the states of Amapá ( Deus et al. 2010; Silva et al. 2011; Adaime et al. 2018), Amazonas ( Dutra et al. 2013), Goiás ( Veloso et al. 1996; Braga-Filho et al. 2001), Roraima ( Amorim 2003; Ronchi-Teles 2008; Marsaro Junior et al. 2008; 2009; 2010) and Tocantins ( Bomfim et al. 2007), parasitizing larvae of Anastrepha coronilli Carrejo & González , A. atrigona Hendel , A. fraterculus (Wiedemann) and A. striata Schiner. For a long time, D. adaimei was referred in the Brazilian literature as Doryctobracon sp. 2 ( Marinho et al. 2017).
