    • Abstract:
      Los parasitoides son importantes controladores naturales de áfidos, sin embargo, existen hiperparasitoides que podrían afectar su desempeño. En este trabajo se reporta para el estado de Morelos a Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson) como un parasitoide primario del pulgón amarillo, Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner), en sorgo (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) y a tres hiperparasitoides: Pachyneuron aphidis (Bouché); Alloxysta sp. (Föster), y Syrphophagus aphidivorus (Mayr). De 1,040 pulgones momificados recolectados emergieron 210 Lysiphlebus testaceipes adultos, 101, Pachyneuron aphidis, 87 Alloxysta sp., y 28 Syrphophagus aphidivorus. Parasitoids are important in the natural control of aphids. However, hyperparasitoids may affect this biological control. We report from Morelos, Mexico Lysiphlebus testaceipes (Cresson), an important parasitoid of the sugarcane aphid , Melanaphis sacchari (Zehntner), in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench), and three of its hyperparasitoids: Pachyneuron aphidis (Bouché); Alloxysta sp. (Föster), and Syrphophagus aphidivorus (Mayr). From 1,040 mummified aphids, 210 Lysiphlebus testaceipes adults emerged, and 101 Pachyneuron aphidis , 87 Alloxysta sp., and 28 Syrphophagus aphidivorus hyperparasitoids. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
