Trichogramma obscurum Pinto, 1999

Diagnosis. Dorsal lamina originating posterior to middle of genital capsule, not notched or lobed at base, narrowing from base to form broad linguiform posterior extension that obscures most of volsellae in dorsal view; volsellae asymmetrical, median margin bowed, abruptly narrowed at apical half; intervolsellar process short, narrowly subtriangular ( Pinto 1999).

Comments. This species belongs to the Drepanophorum section, based on the structure of the volsellae, the general shape of the dorsal lamina, and the presumed presence of a dorsal ridge ( Pinto 1999).

Type repository. Canadian National Collection, Ottawa.

Type locality. Quintana Roo, Mexico.

Distribution in South America. Venezuela.

Host. Dione juno juno (Cramer, 1779) ( Lepidoptera : Nymphalidae ) on passion flower (golden passion fruit), Passiflora edulis f. flavicarpa ( Passifloraceae ).
