Molecular data.

BIN: BOLD:ACN6851.

Host information.

Host of type unknown. Other host associations in need of verification.

Notes.

The German specimens were identified by comparison with the original description ( Nixon 1968) as well as information from Papp (1976a). The host data associated with this wasp species (? Gelechiidae :? Anacampsis populella (Clerck, 1759);? Tortricidae :? Archips rosana (Linnaeus, 1758)) was reported in later publications without enough detail and thus it is here considered to be questionable. This species is illustrated in Fig. 32 .
