Eurytoma belonging to the pistaciae species group

This species group is recognized by the presence of two or three long spiniform setae on the basal half of the dorsal surface of the metatibia ( Fig. 25G ). The group has been reviewed by Doğanlar & Çam (1991), and placed by Lotfalizadeh et al. (2007) in the dentata species group which ‘awaits generic placement’. In the absence of evidence concerning the relevant phylogenetic relationships within Eurytominae , E. pistaciae is retained within Eurytoma .
