Abstract

A new species of Colpoclypeus Lucchese (Hymenoptera: Eulophidae) is described and illustrated. Colpoclypeus michoacanensis Sánchez & Figueroa attacks Argyrotaenia montezumae Walsingham (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae) on blackberry plants. A key is included to separate C. michoacanensis from C. florus (Walker), the only other species in this genus.
