Microplitis varicolor Viereck, 1917

Distribution.

NEA.

Notes.

DNA barcodes of some specimens from North America identified as Microplits varicolor sometimes match DNA barcodes of some European specimens identified as Microplits mediator (Haliday, 1834). This topic needs to be investigated further, but for the time being we are considering the two species as separate.
