The specific epithet is in honor of Pier Luigi Scaramozzino, entomologist and dear friend of FDG, who contributed to the knowledge of Ichneumonidae for 30 years. Biological notes. The biology of N. scaramozzinoi sp. n. is unknown. Porter (1998) mentions that Holarctic Nemeritis species use Rhaphidiidae (Neuroptera: Raphidioidea) as hosts, and that some species can parasite Coleoptera larvae. However, Rhaphidiidae, which seem to be the hosts of N. caudatula and N. elegans groups, are not present in South America. Nemeritis scaramozzinoi shares some morphological similarities with species belonging to N. macrocentra group, whose species have been recorded as parasitoids of Lepidoptera and Coleoptera (Horstmann 1994).

Mesochorus species are hyperparasitoids capable of nullifying biological control agents. This study is the first to map and predict the distribution of this genus in Brazil. Species distribution modeling was used to estimate the potential distribution of Mesochorus. We obtained 72 occurrence records of 49 Mesochorus species, being 30 endemics. According to our prediction model, this genus can be distributed in all Brazilian biomes, with higher suitability of occurrence in the Atlantic Forest and lower in the Caatinga and Pampa. RESUMEN Las especies de Mesochorus son hiperparasitoides capaces de anular los agentes de control biológico. Este estudio es el primero en mapear y predecir la distribución de este género en Brasil. Se utilizó un modelo de distribución de especies para estimar la distribución potencial de Mesochorus. Obtuvimos 72 registros de ocurrencia de 49 especies de Mesochorus, siendo 30 endémicas. De acuerdo con nuestro modelo de predicción, este género se puede distribuir en todos los biomas brasileños, con una mayor idoneidad de ocurrencia en el Bosque Atlántico y menor en la Caatinga y Pampa.

Herein, Lepidura is considered in a more strict sense, identified by the combination of the following character states: ovipositor sheath stout, scale-shaped; head mostly greenish (except in L. rubicunda, L. tuberosa, L. variegata and L. nigricephala sp. nov.); fore wing with large rhombic areolet; hind wing vein CU/1b present, usually spectral; vein CU1a twice as long as cu-a; median longitudinal carina of propodeum present, but incomplete (except in L. improcera and L. nigricephala sp. nov.); and glymma occupying 0.30 of petiole.
