Trichogramma iracildae Querino & Zucchi 2003
No full text<i>Trichogramma iracildae</i> Querino & Zucchi, 2003 <p> <b>Diagnosis</b>. Genital capsule broad, ventral processes clearly set far apart, very short intervolsellar process with apex bifid or pointed, posterior extension of dorsal lamina short and apex blunt.</p> <p> <b>Comments</b>. <i>Trichogramma iracildae</i> is separated from all other South American species by the usually bifid intervolsellar process and the ventral processes located far apart (Querino & Zucchi, 2003b). This feature is also present in <i>T. marthae</i> Goodpasture, 1986 (a North American species), but in <i>T. iracildae</i> the ventral processes are far from each other, the intervolsellar process is usually bifid and the ventral ridge is long.

Trichogramma distinctum Zucchi 1988
No full text<i>Trichogramma distinctum</i> Zucchi, 1988 <p> <b>Diagnosis</b>. Flagelliform setae moderately short, with apex tapering abruptly; dorsal lamina with slight basal constriction and concave laterally; intervolsellar process distinct, not extending to apex of volsellae.</p> <p> <b>Comments</b>. <i>Trichogramma distinctum</i> is similar to <i>T. galloi</i> and <i>T. jalmirezi</i>, more closely resembling the former. It differs from <i>T. galloi</i> in having the intervolsellar process not extending to the apex of the volsellae and the dorsal lamina with a wider posterior extension than in <i>T. galloi</i>. The most conspicuous difference separating <i>T. distinctum</i> from <i>T. jalmirezi</i> is the marked constriction in the dorsal lamina of the latter. <i>Trichogramma galloi</i> and <i>T. distinctum</i> also differ biologically, as <i>T. distinctum</i> requires higher temperatures than <i>T. galloi</i> when these parasitoids are reared on factitious hosts under laboratory conditions (Parra <i>et al</i>. 1991).

Plausibility or truth. Archival notes and reflections on the canvas of the ‘Militant and triumphant Church’ ascribed to Jacopo Zucchi
No full textWhile retracing the traditional history of the painting, which was fi rst ascribed to Federico Zuccari and later to
Jacopo Zucchi, the author hereby presents the long and painstaking research that has gradually confi rmed this
second hypothesis. The reader will, therefore, fi nd a synthesis of the history of this painting, which was surely
enough fi rst hosted in St Peter's Basilica, then moved to the Church of St Catherine of Alexandria and fi nally to
the Vatican Sacristy. Based on a number of inconsistencies which emerged during archival research, doubts still persist with regard to
the historicity of this historical-artistic tradition. Despite the fact that scholars are fi rmly inclined to ascribe the
painting to Zucchi, some unpublished documents tend to undermine this assumption, while still implying that the
painting might be by an artist of the Zuccari famil

TYPE MATERIAL Holotype male. BRASIL. SÃO PAULO: Piracicaba, October 1999, ex egg of Mechanitis lysimnia on Passiflora sp., J.A. Cerignoni collr. (ESALQ); Twenty paratypes (males) with same data as holotype (ESALQ); seven paratypes (males), Piracicaba, November 1999, ex eggs of Heliconius erato phyllis, J.A. Cerignoni collr. (ESALQ). Two paratypes (males) with same data as holotype (UCR). DIAGNOSIS Trichogramma esalqueanum is characterized by the elongate flagelliform setae; the usual presence of unsocketed setae basally on the flagellum; the ovaliform and elongate basiconic sensilla; the elongate and dark anterior setae of the scutellum; the short dorsal lamina with its apically rounded posterior extension which only approaches the intervolsellar process and base of the volsellae. Trichogramma esalqueanum is similar to T. bruni, but differs in basiconic sensillum shape and formula, the usual presence of unsocketed setae on the flagellum, the elongate anterior scutellar setae and the short dorsal lamina. Samples of T. esalqueanum were anlysed for ITS 2 sequence of the rDNA and the results showed it to be different from that of any other species known previously (Raul P. Almeida, pers. com.). VARIATION – The number of unsocketed setae of the first section of the flagellum varies from 0 to 3; the posterior extension of the dorsal lamina does not always reach the base of the volsellae (some specimens with a tiny cleft at apex) and the intervolsellar process does not always attain the base of the volsellae. Apex of the intervolsellar process with a tiny cleft best viewed under SEM. ETYMOLOGY The specific name is a latinized adjective in reference to the acronym ESALQ of "Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz", campus where the species was collected.Published as part of Querino, R.

However, it differs from theses species by the shape of the ventral processes, which are swollen and more distant from each other. In <i>T</i>. <i>bruni</i> and <i>T</i>. <i>tupiense</i>, the ventral processes are closed from each other and not swollen. Ventral processes swollen also occur in <i>T</i>. <i>browningi</i>, a North American species (John D. Pinto, pers. com.). However, <i>T</i>. <i>browningi</i> has dorsal lamina subtriangular with apically rounded apex and a basal notching. <i>T</i>. <i>alloeovirilia</i> is easily separated from this species by the absence of basal notching of the dorsal lamina and its very narrow, acuminate posterior extension.</p> <p> ETYMOLOGY ­ The scientific name is a Latin adjective <i>alloeo</i> for different and <i>virilia</i> for male genitalia, in reference to the general aspect of the male genitalia.</p>Published as part of <i>Querino, R.
