Taxinomy of the main parasitic microhymenoptera of Contarinia sorghicola Coquillet 1898 (diptera : cecidomyiidae) and preliminary observations on some characteristics of their populations in Manfredi (Córdoba)

Sumario:The population of Contarinia sorghicola Coq. and its parasitoids was monitored throughout the flowering season in 1984 at Manfredi (Córdoba). Three species of hymenopteran parasites were found: Aprostocetus diplosidis Crawford, Eupelmus popa Girault 1917, and Tetrastichus sp. They were briefly described, and a simple identification key was created. The percentage of parasitization was 28.35%. There was no density dependence in the response of the parasitoids to the increase in the Contarinia sorghicola population. Aprostocetus diplosidis was, by far, the most abundant parasitoid of Contarinia sorghicola at Manfredi.
