striola Stelfox, 1957

Group: 6.

Literature: Stelfox (1957); Tobias (438); Burghele (1960a).

Notes: Burghele (1960a) believed, probably correctly, that this species is a synonym of C. rousseaui . A freshwater-adapted species; Tobias (1986) records Hydrellia sp. as a host but not clear on what authority.

subasper Griffiths, 1968

Group: 4b.

Literature: Griffiths VI-72 (K VI-119); Tobias (5).

Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoid of Cerodontha alpina leaf-mining Trisetum alpestre ( Poaceae ). Evidence — Griffiths (1).

Barcode: No; unidentified wasps in two BINs key to near subasper .

Similar species: C. hector .

subfuscus Griffiths, 1968

Group: 4a.

Literature: Griffiths V-30 (K VI-119); Tobias (76).

Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoid of Liriomyza buhri in stems of Campanulaceae . Evidence —Griffiths (5).

sylvestris Griffiths, 1967

Group: 5a.

Literature: Griffiths III-843 (K VI-130) [VII-354]; Tobias (293).

Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoid of Phytomyza spp. leaf-mining Lonicera spp. & Symphoricarpus albus ( Caprifoliaceae ). Evidence —Griffiths (56); NMS (169). Comment —Recorded hosts: P. alpigenae , P. aprilina ( = lonicerella ), P. lonicerae ( = xylostei ).

DNA Barcode: Yes; a single specimen that morphologically and biologically matches C. sylvestris is in a different BIN with C. xylostellus ; non-barcode compliant sequences from wasps reared from Phytomyza cirsii (NMS 15) are associated with C. sylvestris BIN but probably represent an undescribed species.

talaris (Haliday, 1839; Alysia )

Group: 4b.

Literature: Nixon 1937 -51; Nixon 1954 -288; Griffiths VI-71 (K VI-118), [VII-352]; Papp (2009a, p. 246), Tobias (3).

Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoid of Cerodontha (Poemyza) spp. leaf-mining Poaceae . Evidence —Griffiths (47); NMS (5). Comment —Recorded hosts: C. incisa , C. pygmaea , C. pygmella , C. zoerneri .

DNA Barcode: Yes.

Notes: Nixon erected the genus Etriptes for this species because it fitted poorly into his concept of Dacnusa ( Chorebus in modern sense), though doubted it had “genuine validity”.

tamiris ( Nixon, 1943; Dacnusa )

Group: 5a.

Literature: Nixon 1946 -286 (K 1943-164); Griffiths III-858 (K VI-126, 129); Tobias (96).

thalictri Griffiths, 1967

Group: 5a.

Literature: Griffiths (K VI-129); Tobias (289).

Hosts: Hypothesis—Parasitoid of Phytomyza aquilegiae on Thalictrum aquilegifolium ( Ranunculaceae ). Evidence—Griffiths (1).

Group: 5e.

Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoid of (i) Phytomyza lithospermi leaf-mining Lithospermum officinale ( Boraginaceae ) and (ii) Liriomyza sp. leaf-mining Hieraceum pilosella ( Asteraceae ). Evidence —Griffiths (i: 23; ii: 1). Comment— Curious disjunct host range that would benefit from molecular study.

Similar species: C. stolyarovi .

Hosts: Hypothesis —Parasitoid of Phytomyza rufipes in stems and midribs of Brassica ( Brassicaceae ). Evidence —Griffiths (2). Comment —Records from Delia florilega ( Anthomyiidae ) ( Nixon 1946 -296) very likely incorrect.
