Host

Plagodis alcoolaria Guenée ( Bradley 1978) , Plagodis serinaria Herrich-Schaffer ( Butler 1993) , Probole amicaria Herrich-Schaffer ( Heinrich 1962b; Heinrich 1977) ( Lepidoptera : Geometridae ).

Male

Described by Heinrich (1962b, p. 707) from three males, one of which was designated as allotype.

Comments

Carlson (1979, p. 544) did not take Bradley’s (1978) paper into consideration and listed only Probole amicaria Herrich-Schaffer as the species host. Butler (1993, p. 506), in listing the parasitoids from Macrolepidoptera, indirectly recorded the species for the first time from West Virginia.
