Egion). It differs from the morphologically similar guadaluperodriguezae group in the propodeum areola shape and the parasitization of stem-borer Crambidae. In Mesoamerica three species are included: A. deplanatus, A. diatraeae, and A. fredi. They are characterized by small size (1.8?.2 mm in length), body distinctly order JWH-133 flattened dorsoventrally, propodeal areola elongate and parallel-sided, and very short antenna (length not surpassing Saroglitazar Magnesium site posterior margin of tergite 1). They are all greagarious. Hosts: Crambidae. Distribution: pantropical (Austin and Dangerfield 1989).
