Comments: A. mali is very close to A. chaonia , and some overlapping morphological features can be found in series of these species. The taxonomic status of these 2 species should be queried. A. mali was first known as a monophagous parasitoid of Eriosoma lanigera (Nokolskaja and Yasnosh, 1966) ; however, it was later found parasitizing many different aphids ( Hayat, 1998). A. chaonia is discussed as closely related to A. mali ( Hopper et al., 2012) , but for unclear reasons it was not included in the mali complex in the same paper. Future DNA studies on long series from different museum materials of these species may solve this taxonomic problem.
