Comment. This is a heterogeneous group of 10 species. With the removal of the Macaronesian-centred group into Arytinnis gen. n., Arytainilla sensu stricto is considered to be a monophyletic group of seven species that can be distinguished most notably by the large female genitalia and robust ovipositor. Three residual species, A. gredi , A. ima and A. sulci are not included in this group and their correct placement within the Arytaininae is not clear. Thus, they are retained in Arytainilla for the present. Arytainilla is predominantly a continental genus with only one species occurring in the Canary Islands. Useful biological notes for species occurring in Italy can be found in Conci et al. (1993, 1996).
