@article {1937, title = {Taxonomic revision of the New World genus Stenocorse Marsh (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Doryctinae)}, year = {2019}, abstract = {

Stenocorse (Braconidae) is a doryctine wasp genus widely distributed from\ southern USA to central Argentina, and it has been reported to be ectoparasitoid of over 60\ bruchine (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) species. The genus currently contains a single\ described species, S. bruchivora (Crawford), though recent molecular and morphological\ evidence revealed that it is actually composed of various undescribed species. Here we\ redescribe S. bruchivora (Crawford) and describe five new species from various\ geographic regions along the Neotropics (S. atlanticus sp. nov., S. maesoi sp. nov.,\ S. pacificus sp. nov., S. rosabricenae sp. nov., S. sudamericanus sp. nov.) We could\ not morphologically distinguish S. atlanticus sp. nov. from S. pacificus sp. nov., though\ they can be consistently delimited both geographically and with mitochondrial and nuclear\ DNA sequence data. We include information about the host plant legumes where the\ recognised species of Stenocorse and their associated bruchines were reared. A key to the\ recognised species of Stenocorse is provided.

Notiospathius Matthews \& Marsh, 1973 is the second most diverse genus of Doryctinae in the Neotropical region, however, in Colombia only two species have been reported and no studies on the diversity of the genus have been conducted. We present a taxonomic synopsis of the genus from Colombia. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Discriminant Function Analysis (DFA) allowed the taxonomic evaluation of morphometric characters used by other authors and those proposed in the present study to differentiate the species. Forty seven of 104 characters studied are useful to discriminate the species. Twenty three species are reported. The following new records for Colombia are: Notiospathius angustus Marsh, 2002; N. badius Marsh, 2002; N. bicolor Marsh, 2002; N. ninae Marsh, 2002; N. rugonotum Marsh, 2002; N. shawi Marsh, 2002; N. tinctipennis (Cameron, 1887) and N. venezuelae López-Estrada \& Zaldívar-Riverón, 2012. The following 14 new species are described: N. alejandroi sp. nov., N. amazonensis sp. nov., N. carmenae sp. nov., N. cundinamarcensis sp. nov., N. farallonensis sp. nov., N. julianoi sp. nov., N. magdalenensis sp. nov., N. marshi sp. nov., N. payae sp. nov., N. putumayensis sp. nov., N. quimbayensis sp. nov., N. tayronensis sp. nov., N. utriae sp. nov., N. vallensis sp. nov. Notiospathius ugaldei Marsh, 2002 is the junior synonym of N. columbianus (Enderlein, 1912); Notiospathius mariachi Reséndiz-Flores, Nunes and Zaldívar-Riverón, 2014 is the junior synonym of N. carolinae (Marsh, 2002); and N. chinanteco Reséndiz-Flores, Nunes and Zaldívar-Riverón, 2014 is the junior synonym of N. rugonotum Marsh, 2002. A comprehensive taxonomic key with illustrations is presented.
