Abstract

A key to the species of Hymenoptera that parasitize insects feeding on sunflower seed heads is presented. The data base for this work is from rearings done in mid-western Canada but the key should be reliable throughout North America. A discussion of each parasitoid, giving host records, distribution, references, and a morphological diagnosis, is presented. Finally, a list of all of the species of parasitic Hymenoptera associated with sunflower in North America is given including important references.

Résumé

Nous donnons un tableau d’identification des hyménoptères parasites des insectes des semences du tournesol. Les données de ce travail résultent d’élevages faits dans la région des prairies canadiennes. Cependant, nous croyons que ces résultats seront suffisamment complets au travers de l’Amérique du Nord. Sous chaque espèce nous discutons des hôtes, de la distribution, et donnons un diagnose morphologique et des références. Finallement nous listons toutes les espèces d’hyménoptères parasites de l’Amérique du Nord associées au tournesol et ajoutons les références d’importances.
