Trichogramma parrai Querino & Zucchi, 2003

Diagnosis. Unsocketed setae and basiconic sensilla prominent and globose; dorsal lamina slightly notched at base; posterior extension long, exceeding level of volsellae; intervolsellar process long and pointed or slightly rounded.

Comments. Trichogramma parrai might be confused with T. nemesis and T. stampae , but it is distinguished from them by the more elongate posterior extension and weakly lobed dorsal lamina with shoulders not approaching the sides of the genital capsule. It was collected in an electrical suction trap set in a forest reserve ( Querino & Zucchi 2003a). Only the type material is known.
