We cannot trace any references to this species occurring in Britain or Ireland. [duplobrevicornis (Shenefelt, 1969, Leiophron ); syn. brevicornis (Ruthe, 1856, Microctonus ) preocc.] According to Loan (1974) , the type of brevicornis (Ruthe) is lost and the species cannot be identified with certainty. Recorded as British by Marshall (1872) . Belokobylskij et al. (2003) list it as a species of Peristenus (= Leiophron according to Belokobylskij). [mitis (Haliday, 1833, Leiophron )] According to van Achterberg (in Belokobylskij et al. 2003 ) the type is lost and was probably a deformed specimen anyway.
