Lonchodryinus tricolor Kieffer, 1905 ( Figs. 4 A-F, 5A, B, 7)

Lonchodryinus tricolor Kieffer, 1905: 96 . Holotype female. Brazil, Goiás (MNHN, examined directly by MO and through photographs by ALM).

Comments: The studied specimens from Brazil studied here differs from the holotype in the following characters:The body length of female changes from 5.2-7.5 mm. Head with mandible ( Fig. 4B ) testaceous, except teeth dark brown; frons ( Figs. 4B, D ) rugose and punctate, vertex punctate, unsculptured among punctures; clypeus ( Fig. 4B ) rugose; gena rugose and partially punctate; frontal line complete. Pronotum ( Fig. 4C ) with central region smooth and lateral surfaces rugose and finely punctate; notauli incomplete ( Figs. 4C , 5A ) reaching approximately 0.9 × length of mesoscutum (in holotype about 0.7); mesoscutellum ( Fig. 4C ) partially finely punctate; mesopleuron rugose and finely punctate; metapleuron rugose, punctate and with several transverse carinae. Ocellar ratio: OL = 7, POL = 12, OOL = 11, OPL = 1, TL = 0. Antenna filiform and not clavate. Antennomeres in following proportions: 35:11:50:39:25:18:16:15:20. Ratio of vein Rs: 2r-rs = 21 and 3Rs&4Rs = 43. Protarsomeres in following proportions: 38:6:8:36:54; 5 th protarsomere with two rows of approximately 62 lamellae (in holotype about 57); distal apex with about seven lamellae (in holotype about nine). Claw of midle and posterior legs with basal expansion very development. Dorsal surface of propodeum as long as posterior surface (30:30).

Distribution: Lonchodryinus tricolor was previously known by females from Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil (Bahia, Goiás, Pernambuco, Rondônia and São Paulo) and Paraguay ( Olmi & Virla, 2014; Martins et al., 2015) ( Fig. 7 ). Here we recorded also for the first time from the Brazilian states of Minas Gerais and Paraná. In addition, its distribution is extended to new localities in Bahia and São Paulo ( Fig. 7 ).

Remarks: Lonchodryinus tricolor has wide distribution in different Brazilian ecosystems (Caatinga, Cerrado, and Atlantic Forest) suggesting that their hosts (probably Cicadellidae ) are polyphagous and feed on different plants.
