ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT In this work, the wasp Brachymeria podagrica is recorded for the first time for Colombia, a solitary parasitoid of larvae of the Peckia collusor fly. Third instar larvae of P. collusor were exposed to outdoor ambient conditions for 6 hours in the garden of the Tecnológico de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia). 29 B. podagrica adults were obtained from the host pupae. Prevalence of parasitism was 14.5 %.
RESUMEN En este trabajo se reporta por primera vez a la avispa Brachymeria podagrica para Colombia y como parasitoide solitario de larvas de la mosca Peckia collusor. Los enemigos naturales fueron atraídos al exponer 200 larvas de P. collusor en tercer instar a condiciones ambientales naturales durante 6 horas el 16 de abril de 2015 en el jardín del Tecnológico de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia). Como resultado, 29 adultos de B. Podagrica emergieron de las pupas. La prevalencia de parasitismo fue del 14,5 %.
ABSTRACT
The genus Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy is a group of calyptrate Diptera distributed in all biogeographic regions and comprises about 300 species. The present study described five new species from Colombia: Fannia aburrae sp. nov., Fannia copacabana sp. nov., Fannia isa sp. nov., Fannia pseudoconstricta sp. nov., Fannia spinosa sp. nov. Male specimens are described, and morphological characters and terminalia are illustrated. Likewise, an updated identification key for males and an updated checklist for the 37 species present in Colombia are provided. New records are presented for the country.

Fannia Robineau-Desvoidy is a genus of calyptrate Diptera that comprises 89 Neotropical species, of which only 23 occur in Colombia. Based on male characters (including terminalia), two new species from the Department of Antioquia (Fannia colazorrensis sp. nov. and Fannia laclara sp. nov.) are described. Illustrations of the male are presented.
