Spathius maderi Fahringer

( Fig. 113 )

Spathius pedestris var. maderi Fahringer, 1930: 77 [original description].

Spathius maderi Belokobylskij, 2003: 391 [status revised from subspecies to species].

Spathius hirtus Hedqvist, (1975) 1976: 52 [original description]. Synonymized in Belokobylskij (2003).

Distribution. Albania, Russia (south of the European part), Spain ( Yu et al. 2005), and Serbia ( Belokobylskij & Zikic 2009).

Remarks. This species is widely distributed but infrequently collected and occurs along the southern part of Europe from Spain to the North Caucasus. Yu et al. (2005) listed it as a subspecies of Spathius pedestris Wesmael ; we follow Belokobylskij (2003) and recognize it as a species.
