Host

Hyperparasitoid of Aphelopus serratus Richards, 1939 (Dryinidae) in Italy ( Olmi 2000). In addition, we have excluded the reference of Waloff & Jervis (1987). Because they were not sure about the identity of Aphelopus melaleucus (Dalman, 1818) , their identification was “probable”, as written by Jervis (1979) (Olmi, pers. comm.).

Distribution

France (new record), Montenegro (new record), Norway (new record); South Korea (new record), Switzerland (new record), Andorra ( Ventura et al. 1997), Bulgaria ( Petrov 1990), China (Yunnan) ( Liu et al. 2011), Czech Republic ( Ogloblin 1925), Denmark ( Johnson 2016), Finland ( Hellén 1964), Germany ( Hellén 1964), Italy ( Bin et al. 1995), the Netherlands ( Peeters 2015), Republic of Ireland ( Nixon 1957; Stelfox 1966; O’Connor et al. 2004); Russia (European) ( Kolyada & Chemyreva 2016), Spain (Martínez de Murguía 1998), Sweden ( Thomson 1858; Hellén 1964), United Kingdom ( Nixon 1957; Notton 1996; O’Connor et al. 2004).

This species, widely distributed in Europe to Oriental China (Yunnan), is now recorded for the first time from the Eastern Palaearctic ( South Korea)

Variation

All European specimens have a yellow petiole, but Chinese and South Korean specimens have a black petiole.
