Title: The hosts of<i>Phlebopenes</i>(Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae), with the first record of<i>Phlebopenes longicaudata</i>attacking nests of oil-collecting bees of the genus<i>Tetrapedia</i>(Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Abstract: Abstract Two rearing records from trap nests set in São Paulo State, Brazil and one oviposition observation show that the parasitoid wasp Phlebopenes longicaudata (Westwood) (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae: Eupelminae) parasitises the nests of oil-collecting bees of the genus Tetrapedia Klug (Hymenoptera: Apidae). Based on this and one previously published host record, species of Phlebopenes Perty are newly hypothesised to be parasitoids of solitary wasps and bees rather than wood-boring Coleoptera. Other Eupelmidae reported as parasitoids of aculeate wasps are summarised.
