Description

The 62 described species of parasitoids and hyperparasitoids of the genus Horismenus Walker (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) attack Lepidoptera, Coleoptera, and Hymenoptera larvae; which are either primary or secondary hosts. The host plants in which they can be found correspond to some 10 angiosperm families distributed along 14 countries of the Neotropical region (Noyes 2003). While examining material from the entomology collection of the Instituto de Ecologia A. C. in Xalapa, Veracruz, Mexico (IEXA), we found that specimens of Horismenus species had labels with information on hosts, host plants, and distribution records which are definitely new for the genus. Those insects are the result of 25 years of collecting wild type and cultivated bean pods of Phaseolus coccineus L. and P. vulgaris L. (Leguminosae: Papilionoideae), throughout the state of Mexico (Estado de M6xico), Morelos, and Puebla to study the infesting rates of Acanthoscelides obtectus (Say) and A. obuelatus Bridwell (Chrysomelidae: Bruchinae), and its naturally associated parasitoids.
