Hymenopteran parasitoids associated with spiders In Florida

Five different parasitoid species associated with spiders are reported from collections made in Florida and Georgia

Spartocera batatas (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Coreidae) : newly established in Florida

Spartocera batatas (Fabricius) was found for the first time in the USA in Homestead, Florida, in 1995. Records from Brazil, British Guiana, Colombia, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Grenada, Jamaica, Martinique, Panama, Peru, Puerto Rico, Saba, and Venezuela also are reported.

First records of Acrotaphus fuscipennis (Cresson) and of A. tibialis (Cameron) from the United States (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae)

Acrotaphus fuscipennis (Cresson), distinctive because of its black wings and bright red body, is recorded for the first time from the United States. It was reared from araneid spiders collected in Florida, which constitutes the first host record for this species. Acrotaphus tibialis (Cameron), collected in Texas, is also recorded for the first time in the United States. New U.S. localities are given for A. wiltii (Cresson). A key is provided for the identification of the three species of Acrotaphus in United States. The adults of all three species and the cocoon of Acrotaphus fuscipennis are illustrated.Acrotaphus fuscipennis (Cresson), especie notable por sus alas negras y cuerpo rojo intenso, se cita por primera vez de los Estados Unidos. Fué obtenida de arañas de la familia Araneidae (género Neoscona) colectadas en Florida, lo que constituye el primer registro de los hospederos de esta especie. Acrotaphus tibialis (Cameron), que fué colectada en Texas, también se cita por primera vez de los Estados Unidos. Se dan nuevas localidades en los Estados Unidos para Acrotaphus wiltii (Cresson). Se presenta una clave para la identificación de las tres especies de Acrotaphus para los Estados Unidos. Se ilustran los adultos de las tres especies y el capullo de A. fuscipennis

Dipsocoridae (Heteroptera) found for the first time in Florida

Dipsocorid bugs were found in samples collected from suction traps (Allison and Pike 1988) in a citrus nursery near LaBelle, Hendry County, Florida. In all, five specimens were collected: 15-22-X- 2001 (1 male), 22-29 X 2001 (1 female), 9-16-XI- 2001 (2 females), 16-21-XI-2001 (1 female). This is the first record of the family Dipsocoridae in Florida. Specimens are deposited in the Florida State Collection of Arthropods (FSCA)
