Hypomicrogaster ecdytolophae (Muesebeck, 1922)

Distribution.

NEA, NEO.

Notes.

Valerio and Whitfield (2015) synonymized this species under Hypomicrogaster zonaria . However, based on the specimens and associated data that we have been able to see (e.g., DNA and host records), Hypomicrogaster zonaria (sensu Valerio and Whitfield 2015) seems to actually comprise several, distinct species. Pending future work on the New World fauna of Hypomicrogaster , we are considering in this paper Hypomicrogaster ecdytolophae as separate from Hypomicrogaster zonaria .
