A new species of Aleiodes (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Rogadinae) from Brazil, with biological notes

Aleiodes Wesmael is the most diverse rogadine genus, with koinobiont endoparasitic development in Lepidoptera caterpillars resulting in mummification of the host remains. Aleiodes japi sp. nov. is described and illustrated. Type specimens of the new species were reared from Physocleora grosica and Ischnopteris sp. (Lepidoptera, Geometridae, Ennominae) larvae. Host larvae were collected on Alchornea triplinervia (Euphorbiaceae) at the Reserva Biológica Municipal da Serra do Japi, Jundiaí, São Paulo, Brazil. This is the second species of circumscriptus/gastritror group described from Brazil.

Notes of Lutzomya (Helcocyrtomyia) trinidadensis (Newstead, 1922) (Diptera: Psychodidae-Phlebotominae)

A re-examination of the syntypes of Lutzomyia (Helcocyrtomyia) trinidadensis (Newstead,1922) in the British Museum (Natural History) led to the designation of a lectotype male and a paralectotype female, and both are now described. On the basis of these descriptions, the status of forms previously placed in synonymy with L. trinidadensis is discussed.
