Paretas-Martínez, Jordi, Ferrer-Suay, Mar, Kovalev, Oleg, Melika, George, Selfa, Jesús & Pujade-Villar, Juli, 2011, Revision of the Holarctic species of Dilyta Förster (Hymenoptera: Figitidae: Charipinae) with descriptions of four new species from the eastern Palaearctic, Zootaxa 2780, pp. 29-38 : 31

Species of Dilyta present in the Holarctic

All redescriptions and new descriptions include only characters from the antenna and metasoma, which are the parts of the body that offer the best diagnostic characters between the species of Dilyta . Descriptions of the head, mesosoma, forewing and some antennal and metasomal characters (which are shared by all the species of the genus) are given in the redescription of the genus.

All species of Dilyta described here have an ∩-shaped carina on the apex of the scutellum (fig. 2A), which differentiates these from the Afrotropical species, which instead have two small symmetrical and parallel carinae (fig. 2B).
