Notes

Some taxonomic and distribution data for species parasitizing Lycaenidae taken from Shaw (2007).

species of Cotesia excluded from the British and Irish list:

[acuminata (Reinhard, 1880, Apanteles ); cultrator (Marshall, 1885, Apanteles )] Not a British or Irish species. Marshall’s description was based on unprovenanced material reared from a host that, on inspection by MRS, is almost certainly not British. The current synonymy is also in doubt.

[ordinaria (Ratzeburg, 1844, Microgaster ); syn. dendrolimi (Matsumura, 1926, Apanteles ); dendrolimusi (Matsumura, 1926, Apanteles )] Although listed as a British species by various authors we can find no evidence that it has occurred here.

[saltator (Thunberg, 1824, Ichneumon ) preocc.] Appeared in Huddleston (1978) as Roman (1912) incorrectly synonymised tenebrosa under saltator.

[scabricula (Reinhard, 1880, Apanteles ); syn. eguchii (Watanabe, 1935, Apanteles )] No evidence that this is a British or Irish species.
