Trichogramma demoraesi Nagaraja, 1983

Diagnosis. Genital capsule elongate and narrow, dorsal lamina narrow at base, fork-shaped; intervolsellar process narrow and distinct, apex slightly pointed, ventral processes positioned anterior to base of intervolsellar process; flagelliform setae moderately long, gradually tapering at the apex.

Comments. Trichogramma demoraesi was erroneously identified in Brazil as a parasitoid of Erinyis ello, a major pest of cassava. Examination of the paratype of T. demoraesi revealed that it was misidentified and actually corresponds to T. marandobai (Vieira et al. 2014) . Therefore, T. demoraesi does not parasitize E. ello in Brazil (Vieira et al. 2014), and all records on that host previous 2014 are misidentifications. The most conspicuous character to separate these species is the dorsal lamina, which is narrow at the base and fork-shaped in T. demoraesi, and broader and not fork-shaped in T. marandobai . Trichogramma demoraesi was redescribed by Vieira et al. (2014).

Type repository. Institute of Biological Sciences, Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais, Brazil (UFMG) (holotype not found), Natural History Museum, London and Commonwealth Institute of Biological Control, Indian Station, Bangalore, India (paratype in NHM examined).

Type locality. Felixlândia, MG, Brazil.

Distribution in South America. Brazil.

Host. Glena bipennaria Guenée, 1858 ( Lepidoptera: Geometridae) on Eucalyptus sp. ( Myrtaceae). Records of T. demoraesi as a parasitoid of Erinnyis ello (L., 1758) ( Lepidoptera: Sphingidae) on cassava ( Manihot esculenta Crantz) in Brazil are errors (see Comments).
