First Record of Telenomus dilophonotae(Hymenoptera, Scelionidae), Parasitizing Eggs of Erinnyis ello(Lepidoptera, Sphingidae) in Western Paraná, Brazil, with Molecular Characterization and Records of Occurrences

There are few records for Telenomus dilophonotaeCameron, 1913 (Hymenoptera, Scelionidae) from South America. In Brazil, the first occurrence was reported in Bahia in rubber crops, Hevea brasiliensis(Willd. ex Adr. de Juss.) Muell. - Arg., there parasitizing eggs of Erinnyis elloLinnaeus, 1758 (Lepidoptera, Sphingidae). It was also found parasitizing the same host in cassava, Manihot esculentaCrantz (Euphorbiaceae). This is the first record of occurrence of T. dilophonotaein the state of Paraná, parasitizing eggs of E. elloin areas of cassava production in the western region of Paraná, this being the southernmost record of the species. Here, photographs, the first sequence of DNA barcode of this species of parasitoid wasp, and a distribution map are provided.
