Notes.

Our sequences of this species were formerly part of BIN BOLD:AAA9381 and merged into BOLD:AAA7143 in February 2023. This BIN includes many clearly different species of Cotesia; see discussion below about this “megaBIN” . ASAP clustering resolves this species as a single cluster, including a specimen reared from Boloria selene (Denis & Schiffermüller, 1775) and part of the type series (MRS-Cot-cal=MS 075). Our German specimen matches the barcode of the paratype 100% and also matches the species morphologically, based on Shaw (2009). This species is illustrated in Fig. 16.
