Two small Hymenoptera, without wings, parasiting a female Mantis religiosa in Juslibol, Aragon, Spain, last weekend. Habitat: dried grassland with dry grasses, Daucus carota and Eryngium campestre are the only live plants. The wasp sizes 2-2'5 mm and the mantid have nechrosated zones. Could be Mantivora manticida????? (I thinks that it's a braconid)  |

it cannot be a Braconidae because the antennas are too short to be Ichneumonoidea superfamily (for Braconidae and Ichneumonidae families). besides, there is no the usual very thin constriction between thorax and abdomen that we usually see in Ichneumonoidea wasps.  |

Hello, In the Chalcicidae, the genus Podagrion is known to be a parasit of eggs in ootheques. It seems me I read something about them living on the Mantis and nearing the ootheque when the Mantis lays it. Pierre Duhem |

Then, is most probably that could be Chalcidoidea, no? Somebody knows adult mantid parasites? Thanks to both... |

Not Chalcididae! it is not a question of Podagrion, which does not have this aspect at all. I think that it is not a question of a chalcidien, but of a hym?nopt?re Platygastroidea Scelionidae. I do not know beacoup this group but Mantibaria seelfederiana (De Stefani, 1891) could be the species photographed well. It has as a synonym Mantibaria manticida Kieffer, or Rielia manticida. The female is held close to the articulation of the wings of Mante. It reaches the mante with the flight, then the wings are fractured little after the base. It lays while the mante built its ooth?que. Very cordially ! Jean-Luc VAGO-France PS: the insect is illustrated in the atlas Boub?e de Berland! cthirion |

Isidro.: seelfederiana is Misspelled! Mantibaria seefelderiana (De Stefani, 1891) = Mantibaria manticida (Kieffer, 1910) ** mandibaria (= Rielia) Best Regards JR Correas |
