Lipolexis gracilis (parasitoid) Förster, 1862

This wasp is found in Europe and Asia where it has been recorded as parasitizing a large variety of aphids, mainly from the genera Aphis and Myzus. Like other species of Lipolexis, it is a solitary koinobiont endoparasitoid, meaning that the host aphids continue their development while the parasitoid larva grows in them.
