Trichogramma pratissolii Querino & Zucchi, 2003

Diagnosis. Dorsal lamina long, with posterior extension narrow, reaching level of volsellae or beyond; ventral ridge extending beyond middle of genital capsule; ventral processes broadly separated from each other and near base of short intervolsellar process.

Comments. Trichogramma pratissolii is similar to T. bertii but differs by the long flagelliform setae and the ventral processes broadly separated from each other. It resembles T. bruni , from which it is separated by the narrower posterior extension of the dorsal lamina and the short intervolsellar process. Trichogramma pratissolii was collected in egg traps of Anagasta kueniella (factitious host) hung on an avocado tree ( Querino & Zucchi, 2003b).
