Diagnosis.
Female. Head in dorsal view (Fig. 4 D View Figure 4 ) with comparatively deep emargination between inner orbits and straight temples; gena length (Fig. 4 C View Figure 4 ) ~ 0.3–0.4 × eye length. Antenna (Fig. 4 C, H View Figure 4 ) with each funicular subquadrate, and segments loosely joined to each other. Pronotum (Fig. 4 E View Figure 4 ) 2.3–2.8 × wider than long. Hind leg (Fig. 4 A View Figure 4 ) with trochanter and femur similarly infuscate to black; metatibia 7.7–7.8 × longer than wide. Fore wing (Fig. 4 G View Figure 4 ) with speculum distinct, broad basally and narrowed toward stigmal vein. Petiole (Fig. 4 A View Figure 4 ) at least quadrate and usually slightly longer (1.1–1.3 ×) than wide. Gaster (Fig. 4 A, F View Figure 4 ) 1.7–1.9 × as long as broad; Gt 1 L slightly longer (1.1 ×) than Gt 2 L.
Male. Unknown.
Distribution.
China (Xinjiang, Hebei, Sichuan, Yunnan, Tibet, Ningxia, Guangxi). Worldwide ( Noyes 2019).
Hosts.
In North America, A. vulgaris is a hyperparasitoid of aphids, including Acyrthosiphon pisum Harris and Macrosiphum euphorbiae Thomas ( Hemiptera : Aphididae ) through Aphidius nigripes Ashmead ( Hymenoptera : Braconidae ) ( Gibson and Vikberg 1998).
Comments.
Leg color of A. vulgaris females is similar to that of A. californicus except for trochanter color. Females of A. vulgaris have at least the meso- and metatrochanters infuscate to black, similar in color to the respective femora, whereas at least the metatrochanter of A. californicus females is mostly yellow, paler than the femur. In our study, gena length is 0.3–0.4 × eye length, as described by Huang and Xiao (2005), which differs from the description of 0.5–0.6 × eye length given by Gibson and Vikberg (1998); however, this may reflect a somewhat different method of measurement.
