Annotations: Males were first described by Dempewolf (1998) and correctly assigned to this species. A female paratype was obtained for study (Finland, Ekenäs, 13 June 1977) which has not been dissected in the past. However, a microvial containing another abdomen plus ovipositor has been attached to the same needle in the past. No host records are available.
