Abstract

A new parasitoid wasp species, belonging to the genus Stenomacrus (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae: Orthocentrinae), was found in several Dutch plant nurseries. Here we describe, illustrate and discuss the biology, morphology and molecular characterisation of Stenomacrus meijeri sp. nov. It was reared from < 24 h old larvae of the fungus gnat Bradysia impatiens (Diptera: Sciaridae).
