Genus Tersilochus Holmgren, 1859 View in CoL View at ENA

Tersilochus View in CoL is a predominantly Holarctic species (the Nearctic fauna is virtually undescribed) comprising about 75 species, of them 67 species are Palaearctic ( Yu et al. 2016), and beyond the Holarctic region the genus is known in Africa (Khalaim 2019) and tropical Asia ( Khalaim 2011). Nine species were reviewed from Russian Far East and Japan (Khalaim 2012), and ten species were found to occur in South Korea ( Khalaim et al. 2014)

Ten species of Tersilochus View in CoL , including a new species described in this paper, occur in Japan.

Most host records of the genus are from the beetle families Chrysomelidae , Curculionidae and Nitidulidae (Coleoptera) , but two species were reared from leaf mining Eriocraniidae (Lepidoptera) ( Jordan 1998) and some species of the subgenus Pectinolochus probably parasitise tenthredinid sawflies ( Hymenoptera : Tenthredinidae ) ( Yu et al. 2016).
