Overview |
Zagrammosoma contains about 15 species and is mainly found in the Americas; although there are a few species from Africa, Europe and Australasia (Noyes, 2002; 2003). Species are mainly parasitoids of lepidopterous leafminers, although a few species are known to attack agromyzids. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Identification |
Zagrammosoma 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). Zagrammosoma is quite close to Cirrospilus, and differences between them have been discussed by Boucek (1988), La Salle (1989), Hansson and La Salle (1996) and Ubaidillah et al (2000). |
