Enicospilus adustus (Haller, 1885) View in CoL

Enicospilus is a distinctive genus within Ophioninae . All species are more or less testaceous, have strongly narrowed mandibles, a large glabrous patch in the fore wing discosubmarginal cell and the fore wing vein RS +2R partly thickened.

Enicospilus adustus View in CoL has only recently been distinguished (clearly) from E. merdarius (Gravenhorst, 1829) View in CoL and other related species. The species is uniformly testaceous. The fore wing has distinct, pigmented proximal and central sclerites. Its head has the temples narrowed, but less strongly posteriorly. Its scutellum has the sides distinctly converging posteriorly, sparsely punctate and smoothly curved (BROAD & SHAW, 2016; JOHANSSON, 2018).

First report for the Netherlands; unreported in Belgium.
