1. Euplectrus laphygmae Ferrière

Material examined. 5 ♀, 6 ♂, originally from Nairobi, Kenya, ex Spodoptera exempta collected 20.v.1970. Lab. reared 20.iii. 1971 in Israel, Tel Aviv (det. Z. Bouček 1973); 2 ♀, 2 ♂, originally from Magija, Uganda, ex Spodoptera litoralis , collected 5.v.1971. Lab. reared 20.vi. 1971 in Israel, Tel Aviv (det. Z. Bouček 1973).

Hosts. Ectoparasitoid of Spodoptera litoralis Boisduval ( Gerling & Limon 1976) .

Distribution. Afrotropical ecorealm ( Ferrière 1941; Zhu & Huang 2003), Israel ( Gerling & Limon 1976).

Remarks. Gerling and Limon (1976) brought the host Spodoptera exempta from Kenya to Israel and reared parasitoids of E. laphygmae in the laboratory at Tel Aviv University, Israel (see above), but it was not released. Euplectrus laphygmae is distributed in the Afrotropical ecoregion (East, Central and South Africa). The species is not native to Israel and therefore is excluded from the list of Israeli Eulophidae as cited by Noyes (2014).
