Eupelmus Dalman 1820
Description
Eupelmus Dalman, 1820
The Palaearctic species belonging to the subgenus Eupelmus were recently revised by Gibson & Fusu (2016) who provided keys and complete descriptions which enabled the recognition of species and updated the nomenclature.
Three species of Eupelmus are known to be associated with fruits of asphodels, but association with a Bruchophagus -infested seed has been conclusively demonstrated only for two of them, E. confusus Al khatib, 2015 and E. microzonus Förster, 1860. The three species are included in papers by Gibson (2011), Al khatib et al. (2014, 2015) and Gibson & Fusu (2016). Females of all species have reticulately sculptured scrobal depressions and ovipositor sheaths that are medially banded pale yellow and are not longer than the metatibiae; males have a long seta behind the malar sulcus. The species may be distinguished by the following key based upon characters used by the above authors.
