Fopius arisanus (Sonan, 1932)

(Figure 2D)

Diagnosis. Frons with large punctures (rugose appearance), occipital carina present, notauli crenulate, striate sculpturing on second metasomal tergum, fore wing hyaline with 2 nd submarginal cell short (3RSa less than or equal to 2RS), m-cu arising directly in line with 2RS, hind wing RS absent and m-cu present.

Comments. Fopius arisanus is easily separated from the other species discussed here, by its strongly sculptured body and dark thoracic pleura and abdomen. It is native to the Indo-Pacific Region and is an egg-larval parasitoid of fruit flies. It was introduced from Florida to Brazil by “Embrapa Semiárido” in 2012 (Paranhos et al. 2013; Santos et al. 2014; Sá & Pessoa 2015). In Brazil, it is being studied to control Anastrepha fraterculus and Ceratitis capitata (Groth et al. 2016) .
