Host fungi.

Laetiporus sp. ( Fomitopsidaceae ), one record; Russula capensis A. Pearson ( Russulaceae ), one record; and Trametes versicolor (L.) Lloyd ( Polyporaceae ), one breeding record.

Distribution.

Cis pickeri was described based on specimens from two field collections: one during the Swedish South Africa Expedition in the 1950s (at Viljoenspas) and the other to the Western Cape Province in 2003 (at Ceres) ( Lopes-Andrade et al. 2009). The field collections made by the staff of the SANC during a project on ciid parasitoids ( Neser 2012) resulted in five additional localities for this species: Palmiet River Nature Reserve, Prince Alfred'S, Pass, Garden of Eden, Heatherlands and Woodifield Farm. All localities in which C. pickeri occurs are areas of Fynbos vegetation (Fig. 13).
