This species differs from T. tupinense Querino &amp; Zucchi, 2003, in having the anterior setae of the scutellum short and thin, and the intervolsellar process elongated. Trichogramma acuminatum presumably belongs to the Arcanum section (John D. Pinto, pers. com.). This section currently includes three North American species, characterized primarily by the appearance of the dorsal lamina, which narrows considerably in the posterior region; the lack of a distinct basal notch; and a relatively short intervolsellar process, less than half the length of the volsellae (Pinto, 1999).

The swollen ventral processes located at the base of the intervolsellar process distinguishes T. alloeovirilia from T. acuminatum and T. tupinense . It differs from T. browningi Pinto &amp; Oatman, 1985, another species with swollen ventral processes, in having the dorsal lamina with a constriction and tapering to a narrow apex. Variation was observed in the number of sensilla (1-1-2-0-1-1). In smaller adults, the size of the structures and consequently the number of basiconic sensilla and setae also decrease.

This species is similar to T. acacioi, as both species have a similar genital-capsule shape; in T. atopovirilia, the volsellae are strongly constricted apically and have tubular ventral processes.

It was recorded on Helicoverpa zea and Spodoptera frugiperda in corn fields in Brazil (Zucchi &amp; Monteiro 1994). Trichogramma atopovirilia has also been reared on factitious hosts, for biological control of the fall armyworm Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith, 1797) ( Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) (Morales et al. 2004; Melo et al. 2007; Dias et al. 2010).

Trichogramma fasciatum was erroneously identified by several authors (see Pinto et al. 1978, 1983). Therefore, only the records published after these articles by Pinto and colleagues are considered to actually refer to this species. Trichogramma fasciatum showed considerable morphological variation, with intermediate forms (details in Pinto 1999). Based on microscope slide preparations loaned by C. Korytkoviski, deposited in the ESALQ collection, and figures from the article by Ruiz &amp; Korytkoviski (1979), we concluded that the records of T. fasciatum reported by these authors are misidentifications. The specimens discussed by these authors correspond to T. fuentesi . Specimens from Peru identified as T. fasciatum by R. B. Querino belong to T. exiguum (Querino &amp; Zucchi, 2003b) . Therefore, we also consider that T. fasciatum has not been recorded in Peru so far. Similarly, the record of T. fasciatum in Venezuela, as listed in De Santis (1981), requires additional information to be confirmed.

Trichogramma lopezandinense is distinguished from other South American species mainly by the long setae of the forewing and the reduced number of basiconic sensilla (formula 1-0-0-1 (0)-1-1). This species is similar to T. bruni; however, it can be separated by structures of the wings: in T. lopezandinense, the forewing is narrower and the setae of the forewing fringe are considerably longer than in T. bruni . On the hind wing, the setae of the posterior row are longer in T. lopezandinense than in T. bruni .

In T. pintoi, the sides of the capsule are narrower and the parameres are arcuate. Other species that may be confused with T. nerudai were discussed by Pintureau et al. (1999), and according to J. D.

Trichogramma nerudai was originally described from Chile (Angol region) and has been recorded only in that country.

Hind wings with 12 to 15 setae in setae row, extending to apex; genital capsule dark; posterior extension of dorsal lamina tapering to pointed apex; ventral ridge short, extending nearly to middle of genital capsule; ventral processes very close to base of intervolsellar process.</p><p>Comments. Trichogramma rojasi can be confused with T. lasallei . However, these species can be separated by the following characters: posterior row of setae of the hind wing reaches the apex of the wing in T. rojasi (and does not in T. lasallei); the ventral ridge is more evident and can reach the middle of the genital capsule in T. rojasi (the ventral ridge is smaller and the anterior limit is not clear in T. lasallei); the ventral processes are very close at the base of the intervolsellar process in T. rojasi (these processes are very far from each other in T. lasallei). Both species were characterized by molecular techniques ( T. lasallei GenBank ID AF282237.1/ AY182762; T. rojasi ID GenBank AF282239.1) (Ciociola et al. 2001).</p><p>Type repository.
