Overview |
Neochrysocharis
contains about 45 species, and is cosmopolitan in distribution (Noyes,
2002; 2003). As for Closterocerus,
species are endoparasitoids of a wide range of hosts, but these include
quite a few species which are parasitoids of leafmining Lepidoptera, Diptera,
Coleoptera and Hymenoptera. Gumovsky (2001) synonymised Neochrysocharis, Asecodes, Hispinocharis Boucek and Mangocharis Boucek with Closterocerus. Further study will be required to gain a complete understanding of relationships in these groups; until that time, we are considering Neochrysocharis, Asecodes and Closterocerus as separate genera. |

Identification |
Neochrysocharis is included in recent generic keys to eulophids for Australasia (Boucek, 1988) and North America (Schauff et al, 1997), and it is included in a web-based key to all Eulophidae genera which attack leafmining Agromyzidae (Reina & La Salle, 2003). Keys to species were provided by the Palaearctic (Hansson,1990 ) and Nearctic (Hansson,1995a ) regions. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||
