GUILLADE Daniela GOFFRÉ Patricia J. FOLGARAIT Biología Ant Natural enemies parasitoid system Geographic ranges Leafcutter ants are one of the most important crop pests in the Neotropics. In the present study, several specimens were collected from four provinces in Argentina in order to determine the species of phorid flies parasitizing them. We report our findings on seven phorid species, Apocephalus neivai Borgmeier, Ap. noetingerorum Disney, Neodohrniphora unichaeta Disney, Myrmosicarius catharinensis Borgmeier, M. cristobalensis Disney, M. crudelis Borgmeier and M. gracilipes Borgmeier, over the leafcutter ants Acromyrmex ambiguus Emery, Ac. crassispinus Forel, Ac. heyeri Forel, Ac. lobicornis Emery and Ac. lundii Guérin. All the known hosts and geographic ranges for these seven phorids in Argentina are provided. The seven phorid species represent new records for all the provinces studied, expanding their geographical ranges; furthermore, we establish a total of eleven new host-parasitoid interactions. Our data expand the knowledge of this little studied system and provide important considerations for the potential use of these parasitoids as biological control candidates of the leafcutter ants. 2017 artículo científico 1851-7471 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=322053335017 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322053335017/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322053335017/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322053335017/322053335017.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/3220/322053335017/movil en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=3220 Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina application/pdf Sociedad Entomológica Argentina Revista de la Sociedad Entomológica Argentina (Argentina) Num.3-4 Vol.76 |
