| Sumario: | The eucoiline genus <em>Zaeucoila</em> Ashmead is revised. Following a reevaluation combining previously published phylogenetic data and new specimens,<em> Agrostocynips</em> Díaz is synonymized with <em>Zaeucoila</em>. All species included in<em> Zaeucoila </em>are systematically treated, and now amounts to twelve, seven of which are described as new here: <em>Zaeucoila</em> <em>bitiburculata</em> new species,<em> Z. fidalgoii</em> new species, <em>Z. infuscata</em> new species, <em>Z. johnsonii</em> new species, <em>Z. lignys</em> new species, <em>Z. normae</em> new species, <em>Z. patera</em> new species. The following new combinations are proposed and species redescribed: <em><u>Zaeucoila grenadensis</u> </em>(Ashmead), new combination;<em> Z. robusta</em> (Ashmead), new combination; <em>Z. flavipes</em> (Ashmead), new combination. <em>Agrostocynips diastrophi </em>(Ashmead), <em>Agrostocynips clavatus</em> Díaz, and <em>Agrostocynips enneatoma</em> (Díaz) are new synonyms of <em>Zaeucoila robusta</em>. <em>Zaeucoila incompleta </em>(Kieffer), <em>Z. triangulifera</em> Kieffer, and<em> Z. unicarinata</em> Ashmead are redescribed. <em>Zaeucoila</em> is an unusual genus of Zaeucoilini in its wide distribution area: it can be found from southern Argentina well into the eastern United States and southern Canada; no other zaeucoiline genus shows such a pattern. Host records and geographic data for <em>Zaeucoila </em>are brought up to date, as well as a key to species.<em> Zeucoila</em> are primary parasitoids of <em>Agromyzidae</em>, including <em>Liriomyza trifolii</em> and other species that are notable economic pests of agriculture. <em>Tropideucoila fulvonotata </em>(Kieffer) is transferred to <em>Marthiella</em> (new combination). |
