Abstract

In this study, we report the rearing of Brachyopa panzeri Goffe, 1945 from larva and elucidate its life circle with a duration of the pupal stage for the first time. We describe the puparium of B. panzeri of which the morphology was unknown prior to the current study. The study of the larva of B. panzeri showed discrepancies between our observations and its original description. These allow us to redescribe the larva, explaining the uncertainties that have existed in the literature since the description of the larva. We clarify larval morphology and propose new characters for identification with the map of its chaetotaxy. Morphological features of the larva and pupa are illustrated using both light- and electron microscopy. Additionally, we reared the endoparasitoid wasp Tetrastichus brachyopae Graham, 1991 (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) from B. panzeri for the first time. Moreover, T. brachyopae is a new species for Ukraine.
