[Entomology • 2024] Allorhogas lavraensis & A. margitae • Two New Species of Allorhogas (Hymenoptera: Braconidae: Doryctinae) from southeast Brazil reared from Seed Pods of Inga vera and Anadenanthera colubrina (Fabaceae)

Abstract
Two new species of Allorhogas (Braconidae: Doryctinae), Al. lavraensis sp. nov and Al. margitae sp. nov., which were reared from seed pods of Fabaceae species, are described from southeast Brazil. Allorhogas lavraensis forms seed galls on Inga vera Willd., whereas Al. margitae predates on seeds of Anadenanthera colubrina (Vell.) without making galls. The latter represents the first report of seed predation by a species of Allorhogas on the genus Anadenanthera.
