This research identifies a new Bephratelloides species in Brazil, revealing two host plants associated with Hymenoptera, indicating local biodiversity.
In this study, we documented two species of Bephratelloides Girault, 1913 (Hymenoptera, Eurytomidae) collected in Brazilian savanna areas in the state of São Paulo. Bephratelloides duguetiarum Perioto & Lara sp. nov. is described and illustrated based on specimens that emerged from the seeds of Duguetia furfuracea (St. Hil.) Benth. & Hook (Annonaceae). Bephratelloides petiolatus Grissell & Schauff, 1990 is associated with seeds of Xylopia aromatica (Lam.) Mart. (Annonaceae). The name Bephratelloides duguetiphagus Chang, 1998 must be regarded as unavailable because it fails to satisfy the availability criteria of the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature.
