Host

Reared from Anteon flavicorne (Dalman) (Dryinidae) in France ( Tussac & Tussac 1991), Russia ( Kozlov 1971), Switzerland ( Wall 1967) and United Kingdom ( Chambers 1955; Nixon 1957). In addition, we have excluded the reference of Waloff & Jervis (1987), because they were not sure about the identity of the dryinid species ( Anteon flavicorne or Anteon arcuatum ) (Olmi, pers. comm.).
