Abstract
RAMIREZ-MORA, Manuel Alejandro and DURANGO-MANRIQUE, Yesica. FIRST RECORD OF Brachymeria podagrica (HYMENOPTERA: CHALCIDIDAE) AS PARASITOID OF Peckia collusor (DIPTERA: SARCOPHAGIDAE). Acta biol.Colomb. [online]. 2021, vol.26, n.3, pp.466-469. Epub Jan 28, 2022. ISSN 0120-548X. https://doi.org/10.15446/abc.v26n3.88453.
In this work, the wasp Brachymeria podagrica is recorded for the first time for Colombia, a solitary parasitoid of larvae of the Peckia collusor fly. Third instar larvae of P. collusor were exposed to outdoor ambient conditions for 6 hours in the garden of the Tecnológico de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia). 29 B. podagrica adults were obtained from the host pupae. Prevalence of parasitism was 14.5 %.
