Sampling of Chrysidoidea

Malaise traps were installed in the central part of the evaluated systems, with one trap per system. The collections were made every 30 days for a period of 13 months, from June 2011 to July 2012. Every 15 days inspections were carried out on the traps to check for damage and, if necessary, repair or replace them. The Hymenoptera were separated from other insect orders and the Chrysidoidea were identified to genus level using keys proposed by Kimsey (2006), Olmi & Virla (2014) and Vargas-Rojas & Terayama (2006). The Chrysididae were sent to Dr. Daercio Lucena, mounted and deposited in the ColeÇão Entomológica “Prof. João Camargo” of Faculdade de Filosofia, Ciências e Letras de Ribeirão Preto, Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil (RPSP; curator Dr. E.A.B. Almeida). Bethylidae and Dryinidae were preserved in 70% ethanol and deposited in the ColeÇão de Hymenoptera Parasitoides of Universidade Federal de São Carlos, São Carlos, São Paulo, (DCBU; curator Dr. A.M. Penteado-Dias).
