Treatment

Charletonia cardinalis (C. L. Koch, 1837) View in CoL (= Erythraeus singularis Oudemans, 1910 )

Species occurring in the Palearctic and in the Oriental, Australian and Nearctic Regions; known from larvae and active postlarval forms ( Mąkol and Wohltmann 2012, and references therein). Larvae parasitize Lepidoptera , Hemiptera and Coleoptera : Ematurga atomaria (L.) ( Lepidoptera : Geometridae ) ( Cooreman 1945); Javesella pelucida (Fabricius, 1794) (= Liburnia pellucida ) ( Hemiptera : Delphacidae ), Aphrophora sp. ( Hemiptera : Aphrophoridae ) ( Southcott 1966); Nerice bidentata Walker, 1855 ( Lepidoptera : Notodontidae ), Simyra henrici Grote, 1873 ( Lepidoptera : Noctuidae ) ( Treat 1980); Heteroptera indet., Phyllotreta undulata Kutschera, 1860 ( Coleoptera : Chrysomelidae ) ( Haitlinger 1987).

The accidental finding of C. cardinalis on Mustela erminea L. ( Mammalia: Carnivora , Mustelidae ) by Haitlinger (1987) should be confirmed in terms of parasitism.

Record:

• Stiroma affinis Fieber, 1866 ( Hemiptera : Delphacidae ) [det. Ulrik Hasle Nielsen], Trelde Naes, 01 June 2019, leg. Linda-Kjaer Thomsen and Lars Thomas; 1 H/1 LV/dorsal side of the body, at thorax/abdomen border ( Fig. 1A View Figure 1 )

Note: New species for Denmark, new host record.
