Abstract
We report hymenopteran larval and pupal parasitoids of the Dasiops species in sweet granadilla (Passiflora ligularis J.) orchards in a Peruvian Andean forest. Flower bud and fruit samples infested by Dasiops were collected in three orchards from Oxapampa (Pasco, Peru). In addition, we exposed non-parasitized Dasiops pupae at ground level to verify the presence of pupal parasitoids. We identified Utetes anastrephae (Viereck) and Opius sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae) on flower buds infested b.y Dasiops inedulis Steyskal. However, Aganaspis pelleranoi (Brèthes) (Hymenoptera: Figitidae) emerged from D. frieseni pupae reared from unripe fruits. Also, the pupal parasitoids Pachycrepoideus vindemmiae (Rondani) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) and Coptera sp. (Hymenoptera: Diapriidae) emerged from pupae of both D. inedulis and D. frieseni exposed to parasitism at ground level. Our findings shed new light into new interactions for species in the genus Dasiops and their larval and pupal parasitoids in sweet granadilla agroecosystems from the Neotropical region.
