Eriborus perfidus (Gravenhorst, 1829)

This species is more well known in historical collections. In comparison to other species in the genus, the ovipositor sheaths are relatively long, reaching the same length as the postpetiole. Its area superomedia has a typical shape, the length is one and a half times its width, which distinguishes it from E. braccatus (Gmelin 1790) . It is already reported from many countries in Western Europe (see FAUNA EUROPAEA). Hypena proboscidalis (Linnaeus, 1758) ( Lepidoptera : Erebidae ) is an extremely common host.

First report for the Netherlands; unreported in Belgium.
