Abstract

En abril-septiembre del 2023 se colectaron ootecas de las cucarachas Shelfordela lateralis Walker y Periplaneta americana Linnaeus, y adultos de Evania appendigaster Linnaeus (avispa bandera) en alcantarillas y registros de drenaje, entornos internos y externos de hogares ubicados en Coahuila y Durango, México. Las características morfométricas y el análisis molecular determinaron la especie de avispa parasitoide como Evania appendigaster, lo que representa un nuevo registro para Shelfordela lateralis y Periplaneta americana en Coahuila y Durango, México. From April to September 2023 oothecae of the cockroaches Shelfordela lateralis Walker and Periplaneta americana Linnaeus were obtained from sewage and sewer manholes, outdoor an indoor households in Coahuila and Durango, Mexico. Morphometric characteristics and molecular analysis determined the parasitoid adult wasp specie found emerging from oothecae was Evania appendigaster Linnaeus (ensign wasp). This is a new register of the wasp parasitizing S. lateralis and P. americana in Coahuila and Durango, Mexico. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
