Material examined

VIETNAM • 1 ♀; NW, Tonkin, Hoàng Liên N. R., 15 km W of Sa Pa; 1900 m a.s.l.; 15–21 Oct. 1999; C. van Achterberg leg.; Malaise trap; RMNH.

Remarks

This specimen has a 16-segmented antenna and a moderately rugose anterolateral area of the first metasomal tergite, which is very variable within known A. ervi populations. Aphidius ervi has a cosmopolitan distribution, with (17)18–19(20)-segmented antennae and a usually clearly rugose anterolateral area of the first metasomal tergite (Starý 1973; Tomanović et al. 2023).

First record for Vietnam.
