The bucculatricis View in CoL group
This monotypic group can be characterized by the following combination of character states: 1) metanotum weakly retracted from scutellum, barely or not exposing mesothoracic postphragma; 2) propodeum with strong, complete, broad pentagonal areola and transverse carinae; 3) metasomal tergite 1 broad, coarsely aciculorugose; 4) tergite II broad, subquadrate, strongly sculptured and about as long as III down midline; 5) tergite III also heavily sculptured, with rounded posterolateral corners; 6) tergum IV unmodified, overlapped by III, similar in appearance to succeeding terga; 7) sternites 3–6 of female not split anteromedially; 8) hypopygium evenly sclerotized to medial fold, not strongly produced at tip; 9) ovipositor sheaths arising at about midheight of valvifers; 10) volsellae of male genitalia each with 4 setae along medioventral edge; 11) gonobase (basal ring) of male genitalia transverse, about half as long as genital capsule is broad proximally; 12) final instar larva with 1 pair of labial setae, on short tubercles; 13) final instar with 1 seta on each maxilla; 14) cocoon delicate, oblong, whitish, spun within the elongate cigarshaped cocoon of the host; and 15) hosts are Bucculatrix spp. (Lyonetiidae) .
P. bucculatricis shows similarities with both the zelleriae group, with which it shares all character states except 2, 9, 10, 14 and 15, and the masoni group, with which it shares all states except 2 (and even here there is a resemblance), 3, 5, 9 and 10.
