Cotesia sp. 5

Distribution.

NEA. High Arctic endemic.

Notes.

A total of 16 specimens from Banks and Ellesmere Islands, as well as Greenland. This species has been referred to as Cotesia jft09 in other papers (e.g. Fernández-Triana et al. 2011, 2016), and it corresponds in BOLD to BIN BOLD:AAA6099. The species seems to be related to a complex of species, from both Europe and North America but for the time being is left as an undescribed species, until more studies of the Holarctic fauna are carried out.
