Microctonus nitidulidis Loan, 1978, p 324 .

Distribution: Ohio and Delaware.

Specimens examined: Two hundred and seven from five collection events; questionable female identifications: three from two collection events.

Flight period: April through September.

Remarks: The only field-collected specimens the author is aware of were reared from a locality in Wooster County, Ohio and Newark, Delaware until the author reared a specimen from Geauga County, Ohio. The paucity of collection events is interesting considering the commonness of the host. Size-related characters are the only ones known to distinguish this species from M. muesebecki .
