ResumoThe mymarid wasp Gonatocerus atriclavus Girault, NEW STATUS, described originally from Trinidad as a variety of G. triguttatus Girault, is redescribed and illustrated based on specimens reared from an egg mass of the sharpshooter Oncometopia clarior (Walker), collected in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, Mexico. This is the first known host record for this parasitoid species. Proconiine leafhopper host associations are also reported for three other economically important Gonatocerus species from the ater species group in North America: G. ashmeadi Girault, G. morrilli (Howard), and G. triguttatus Girault.
