Trichogramma nomlaki Pinto & Oatman, 1985

Diagnosis. Dorsal lamina deeply emarginate; medial position of parameres approximate one another along midline of the genital capsule; volsellae highly modified, exceeding parameres posteriorly.

Comments. This species is found mostly in wooded areas. The host record in an agricultural habitat is an exception (Pinto 1999). Trichogramma nomlaki was described from a single male; subsequently, two male and one female were collected in North Carolina (Pinto et al. 1986), and an additional specimen from Chile (unknown host) was found out at University of California collection, Riverside (Zucchi & Monteiro 1977).
