A new species of Neoheterospilus (Braconidae: Doryctinae) from Chamela, Jalisco, Mexico

A new species of Neoheterospilus, N. chamelae n. sp., is described from the Chamela-Cuixmala biosphere reserve in the Pacific coast of Jalisco, Mexico. This new species is placed within the subgenus Harpoheterospilus as it has an almost indistinct suture between the second and third metasomal terga and by the absence of a delineated apical area on the second metasomal tergite. Neoheterospilus chamelae is distinguished from the other species of the subgenus, N. (H.) falcatus, by its smooth vertex, single transverse carina in the prescutellar sulcus, a longer basal carina on the propodeum, and an elongate first metasomal tergite.
