Adialytus salicaphis (Fitch, 1855)

M a t e r i a l. 1 ♀, Кyiv Region, Borodianka Distr. , near rail station “Spartak” [ 50°40'29.21'' N, 29°44'21.92'' E], plot of felled forest, 14.05.200 3 (E. Simutnik) (SIZK).

С o m p a r a t i v e n o t e s. Morphologically A. salicaphis ( fig. 1, 1–5 ) is similar to A. ambiguus (Haliday) ( fig. 1 , 6–10 ), differing by: 1) antenna less thickened at apex, with preapical and apical flagellomeres not fused; 2) flagellomere 1 (F1) with londitudinal placodes; 3) wider fore wings: 2.7 times as long as wide; 4) propodeum without carinae; 5) more slender petiole; 6) brown abdomen and antenna; 7) less thin and sharp ovipositor sheath; 8) host range.

H o s t s. Mostly species of Chaitophorus genus on Salix and Populus : Chaitophorus capreae , C. euphraticus , C. horii beuthani , C. kapuri , C. leucomelas , C. matsumurai , C. melanosiphon , C. nassonowi , C. pakistanicus , C. populeti , C. populialbae , C. populicola , C. populicola patchae , C. populifolii , C. remaudieri , C. remaudieri , C. saliciti , C. salijaponicus , C. salijaponicus niger , C. saliniger , C. tremulae , C. truncates , C. utahensis , C. viminalis , C. vitellinae ( Starý, 1976, 2006; Tobias, Chiriac, 1986; Davidian, 2007; Starý, Lukáš, 2009; Tomanović et al., 2006 a; Yu et al., 2012). Also known a few data about A. salicaphis parasitizing on Aphis spp. , Cryptomyzus ribis and Periphyllus sp. (Yu et al., 2012).

H a b i t a t s. Mixed forests (Starý, Lukáš, 2009), gardens ( Starý, 2006). Associated mostly with habitats with deciduous trees, and less with shrubs and grasses (Yu et al., 2012).

D i s t r i b u t i o n. Ukraine ( Кyiv Region, first record). Europe; Asia (except South- Eastern Region); North America ( Davidian, 2007; Tobias, Chiriac, 1986; Starý, 1976, 2006; Starý, Lukáš, 2009; Yu et al., 2012).
