Distribution

Austria (new record), Bulgaria (Petrov 1990), Canada (Masner 1976), Czech Republic (Hellén 1964), Denmark (Kolyada & Chemyreva 2016), Finland (Hellén 1964), France (Kieffer 1916), Germany (Kieffer 1916; Greiler et al. 1992), Italy (Bin et al. 1995; Masner 1976), Kazakhstan (Kolyada & Chemyreva 2016), Kyrgyzstan (Kolyada & Chemyreva 2016), Netherlands (Peeters 2015), Norway (Strand 1898), Republic of Ireland (Nixon 1957; Stelfox 1966; O’Connor et al. 2004), Russia (European, Urals) (Kolyada & Chemyreva 2016), Slovakia (Kolyada & Chemyreva 2016), Sweden (Kieffer 1916; Nixon 1957), Ukraine (Kolyada & Chemyreva 2016), United Kingdom (Nixon 1957), USA (Masner 1976).

Host

Reared from Anteon pubicorne (Dalman, 1818) (Waloff 1975, as Anteon lucidum (Haliday, 1828); Perkins 1976, as Chelogynus lucidus (Haliday, 1828)) and Lonchodryinus ruficornis (Dalman, 1818) (Dryinidae) (Waloff 1975, as Preanteon sp.; Olmi 2000), all from the United Kingdom. Moreover, one specimen was labelled as reared from a female of Streptanus sordidus Zetterstedt, 1828 (Cicadellidae) by V.H. Chambers.

Notes

Ismarus rugulosus is unusual in that almost all specimens are female, and it is possible that it is normally thelytokous. Only one male specimen, from Germany, was seen during this study.
