Abstract

The insect planidium larvae found on some Antillean scorpions of the family Buthidae, and previously recorded as belonging to Perilampidae wasps (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), are herein identified as members of Eucharitidae, possibly genus Kapala. Their occurrence on scorpions is interpreted as accidental or perhaps phoretic.

Resumen

Las larvas tipo planidio halladas sobre escorpiones antillanos de la familia Buthidae y previamente registradas como pertenecientes a avispas Perilampidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea), son aquí reconocidas como miembros de la familia Eucharitidae. Su presencia en escorpiones pudiera ser accidental o tratarse de foresis.
