Giovanni, Filippo Di, Scaramozzino, Pier Luigi, Loni, Augusto & Lucchi, Andrea, 2021, Taxonomic revision of the Campoplex difformis group (Ichneumonidae, Campopleginae), with particular reference to species of economic importance, European Journal of Taxonomy 740, pp. 1-35 : 5

5. Campoplex capitator

ex Ancylis mitterbacheriana on Quercus pubescens (MSNV) . The record of Aubert (1983) consists of a single male collected in Liguria (Passo Turchino). Although the specimen certainly belongs to the difformis group, males of this group are indeterminable ( Horstmann 2012), especially if not obtained together with the females by rearing. On the basis of the known host records and the biology of C. capitator ( Villemant et al. 2011; Lucchi et al. 2017; Scaramozzino et al. 2017, 2018), we think that this record should be treated as doubtful as males cannot be reliably assigned to any species.
