dryas View in CoL ( Nixon, 1948; Rhizarcha )
Group: 1c.
Literature: Nixon 1948 -223; Griffiths II-564 (K III-893); Tobias (23, 59).
Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoid of Agromyza spp. on Vicia spp. and Medicago spp. ( Fabaceae ). Evidence — Griffiths (2); NMS (3); Heimpel and Meloche (2001). Comment —Recorded hosts: A. frontella , A. vicifoliae . Has been introduced to North America where it also attacks a Liriomyza sp.
DNA Barcode: Yes (British partial sequences cluster strongly with a Canadian clade).
Notes: Introduced to the United States and Canada in the late 1970s where it controlled the introduced A. frontella , a pest there called the alfalfa blotch miner (reviewed by Heimpel & Meloche 2001). Guppy and Meloche (1987) describe life history and immature stages in Canada.
ergeteles ( Nixon, 1954; Pachysema )
Group: 2d.
Literature: Nixon 1954 -267; Griffiths III-811 (K III-899); Tobias (117).
Hosts: Hypothesis— Parasitoid of Phytomyza sp. , possibly on Ranunculaceae . Evidence— Griffiths (1 Danish specimen but host unclear).
euphrasiella Griffiths, 1984 View in CoL
Group: 2d.
Literature: Griffiths VII-351 (K VII-352).
Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoid of Phytomyza affinis in seedheads of Euphrasia spp. ( Orobanchaceae ). Evidence —Griffiths (4).
evadne Nixon, 1937 View in CoL
Group: 2d.
Literature: Nixon 1937 -60; Nixon 1954 -264; Griffiths II-564 (K III-896); Tobias (101, 169).
Hosts: Hypothesis— Parasitoid of Agromyza idaeiana ( = spiraeae ) on Filipendula ulmaria (Roseaceae). Evidence— Griffiths (10); NMS (11).
DNA Barcode: Yes.
faeroeensis (Roman, 1917; Rhizarcha )
Synonymy: lestes Nixon, 1937 .
Group: 1c.
Literature: Nixon 1937 -68; Nixon 1948 -221; Griffiths (K III-893); Tobias (32, 61); Papp (2007b, p. 31).
Hosts: Hypothesis— Parasitoid of Scaptomyza graminum ( Drosophilidae ) on Brassicaceae and Anthyllis vulneraria ( Fabaceae ). Evidence— NMS (28).
DNA Barcode: Yes; see also D. confinis .
Notes: Parasitoids from different host plants have same barcode. Not closely related to Dacnusa temula , the only other Dacnusini attacking drosophilids.
fasciata Stelfox, 1954 View in CoL
Group: 2d.
Literature: Nixon 1954 -273; Griffiths III-822 (K III-897); Tobias (135, 176).
Hosts: Hypothesis— Parasitoid of Phytomyza dasyops (whose host plant was not recorded but likely internal feeder in Orobanchaceae ). Evidence— Griffiths (7).
[festa (Goureau, 1851, Coelinius )]
Literature: Marshall (1891 -1896, p. 522); Griffiths III-929.
Notes: Griffiths (loc. cit.) discusses and considers the taxa a nomen dubium . Host ( Phytomyza primulae [ = cinerella ]) and figure in Goureau suggest Dacnusa -genus group rather than Coelinius .
[ flavicoxa Thomson, 1895 ; Dacnusa View in CoL ]
Notes: Antrusa flavicoxa View in CoL mistakenly in Dacnusa View in CoL in Fauna Europaea (2023).
Group: 2d.
Literature: Griffiths III-818 (K III-896); Tobias (93).
Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoid of Phytomyza spp. forming blotch mines. Evidence— Griffiths (5). Comment — Recorded hosts P. angelicae ( = laserpitii ) on Laserpitium latifolium ( Apiaceae ) and P. aconiti on Delphinium oxysepalum ( Ranunculaceae ). Disjunct host association would benefit from further research.
[ gallarum ( Ratzeburg, 1852; Bracon )]
Literature: Ratzeburg (1852).
Notes: Not treated by modern authors; reared from Nematus leaf-galls (Symphyta) on Salix (Salicaeae) and if host correct very unlikely to be Dacnusini .
Group: 1a.
Literature: Griffiths III-831 (K III-893); Tobias (27, 60).
Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoid of Phytomyza spp. mining Gentianaceae . Evidence— Griffiths (5). Comment — Recorded hosts P. vernalis , P. gentianae , P. swertiae .
Group: 2d.
Literature: Griffiths V-20 (K V-18); Tobias (33, 61).
Hosts: Hypothesis— Parasitoid of Liriomyza veratri mining Veratrum album ( Melanthiaceae ). Evidence— Griffiths (12).
Similar species: D. laeta .
Group: 1a.
Literature: Griffiths III-830 (K III-893); Tobias (20).
Hosts: Hypothesis— Parasitoid of Phytomyza ramosa mining Knautia arvensis ( Caprifoliaceae ). Evidence— Griffiths (2).
Group: 1c.
Literature: Griffiths III-827 (K III-892); Tobias (38, 53).
Hosts: Hypothesis— Parasitoid of Phytomyza griffithsi on Plantago media ( Plantaginaceae ). Evidence— Griffiths (8).
DNA Barcode: No; BIN with likely undescribed species near D. heringi .
hospita (Förster, 1863; Aphanta )
Group: 2a.
Literature: Nixon 1954 -279; Griffiths III-802, [V-18, VII-350] (K III-895); Tobias (222).
Hosts: Hypothesis— Parasitoid of Phytomyza spp. on Ranunculus spp. ( Ranunculaceae ). Evidence —Griffiths (2); NMS (2).
DNA Barcode: Yes.
Similar species: D. sasakawai .
Notes: Based on its unusual venation, hospita is sometimes placed in the genus Aphanta (with sasakawai Takada ); Griffith’s I-854 argument that it is a derived species of Dacnusa is followed here.
Literature: Tobias (219).
Similar species: D. obesa .
Notes: Briefly described in a key from a single female.
