Material. Israel: 2♂ 1♀ Mazkeret Batya [31°51'N 34°51'E], 1–15.viii.2014, W. Kuslitzky, Malaise trap.

Remarks. This Mediterranean species has been recently recorded in Israel ( Lengyel, 2011a). In West Europe, it is assumed to parasitize Camponotus cruentatus ants ( Della Santa, 1993), which do not occur in Israel ( Vonshak & Ionescu-Hirsch, 2009).
