Abstract

Megaphragma is recorded for the first time in Columbia where it is represented by M. caribea that emerged from leaves of Terminalia catappa infested by the thrips (Heliothrips haemorrhoidalis and Selenothrips rubrocinctus). M. caribea has anucleate neurons, the third species of Megaphragma shown to have this feature.
