Treatment

Diagnosis. Genital capsule relatively narrow; volsellae extending only halfway to apex; ventral ridge indistinct; base of dorsal lamina without distinct notching or shoulders; posterior track of the hind wing elongated, approaching wing apex ( Pinto 1999).

Comments. Among the South American species, the overall shape of the genital capsule of T. erebus resembles that of T. pretiosum , but the latter species can be separated by its more elongate flagelliform setae, less extensive hind wing setations, notched dorsal lamina, and shorter apical distance ( Pinto 1999). Trichogramma erebus was collected in undisturbed habitats.

Type repository. National Museum of Natural History, Washington, D.C. (holotype); Natural History Museum, London; Canadian National Collection, Ottawa; University of California, Riverside (paratypes).

Type locality. Florida, USA.

Distribution in South America. Colombia.

Host. Eggs of an undetermined hesperiid ( Lepidoptera ) on Desmodium sp. ( Fabaceae ) ( Pinto 1999).
