A new species of Binodoxys (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae), parasitoid of the soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, with comments on biocontrol
Proceedings of the Entomological Society of Washington 109 (2), 359-365
Abstract: Binodoxys kelloggensis Pike, Starý, and Brewer, n. sp. (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Aphidiinae), is described and illustrated. This aphidiine parasitoid, found in southcentral Michigan, is considered a native species, reared from the exotic soybean aphid, Aphis glycines Matsumura, from naturally infested field soybeans and from aphid-infested potted soybeans placed outdoors among assorted plants. It is one of eight parasitoid species now known to attack A. glycines in North America.
