Neoleucopis pinicola View in CoL ( Malloch, 1921: 357;

Leucopis )

Type locality: USA: Illinois (HT ♂, INHS) .

This species is known from eastern North America and may be present in parts of Europe. It is known to prey on Pineus strobi infesting Pinus strobus , as well as Adelges piceae on balsam fir, Abies balsamea ( McAlpine 1971, Sluss & Foote 1973). The immature stages and biology were thoroughly described by Sluss & Foote (1973), although the descriptions do not compare the species with congeners.
