Pimpla golbachi (Porter, 1970) Figure 5A-F

Ephialtes kreibohmi Blanchard, 1942; nomen nudum according to Townes and Townes 1966: 29.

Coccygomimus golbachi Porter, 1970: 153. Holotype ♀, Argentina (IML).

Diagnosis.

This species can be distinguished from the other Uruguayan species of the genus by the combination of the following character states: 1) wings hyaline; 2) mesosoma black with hind corners of meso- and metapleuron brown and tegula white; 3) metasoma reddish; 4) laterotergite V 1.3 times as long as wide; 5) legs reddish, except of fore coxa often more or less broadly blackish basally, hind tibia sometimes slightly dusky, especially near apex, and tarsi usually duller often slightly dusky on apical segment; 6) tergite II shiny and with almost uniformly distributed large, deep, adjacent to reticulately confluent punctures, except narrowly smooth on apex; 7) malar space 0.8-1.0 (0.6-0.9 in male) times as long as basal width of mandibles; 8) ovipositor approx. 1.45-1.7 times as long as hind tibia; 9) ovipositor cylindric, dorsal valve with apex without teeth and ventral valve with gently convex teeth on tip.

Biological notes.

Parasitoid of Gelechiidae : Pectinophora gossypiella (Saunders, 1844); Noctuidae : Alabama argillacea ( Hübner, 1818) ( Porter 1970); Pieridae : Colias lesbia (Fabricius, 1775) ( Avalos et al. 2011); Pyralidae : Diaphania hyalinata (Linnaeus, 1767); Tortricidae : Rhyacionia buoliana (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) ( Porter 1970). Based on the material collected in our samples in Uruguay, we verified that the peak of occurrence of this species in the sampled locations was between November and January.

Remarks.

Townes and Townes (1966) reported a new species of Coccygomimus as " Coccygomimus n. sp." from Argentina and considered Ephialtes kreibohmi Blanchard, 1942 to be nomen nudum of it. Later, Porter (1970) described the species mentioned by Townes and Townes (1966) as Coccygomimus golbachi .
