New records of Encyrtidae (Hymenoptera, Chalcidoidea) from Norway VII
Norwegian Journal of Entomology 65 (2), 101-107
Abstract: The study of the family Encyrtidae at the Natural History Museum of Oslo continues. In this revision, eight species are reported for the first time from Norway, bringing the total number of Norwegian encyrtids up to 151. Bothriothorax koponeni Khlopunov, 1984 is reported for the first time outside Finland, and Syrphophagus subviridis (Hoffer, 1970) for the first time outside Slovakia. Until now, Isodromus limosus Hoffer, 1969 has only been reported from Bohemia in the Czech Republic and Kostroma Oblast in Russia, while Copidosoma aretas (Walker, 1838), Lamennaisia nobilis Nees, 1834, Leptomastix epona (Walker, 1844), Psyllaephagus abbreviatus (Hoffer, 1963) and Syrphophagus aphidivorus (Mayr, 1876) are all recorded from Norway for the first time. New records are given for Anagyrus belibus (Walker, 1837), Bothriothorax clavicornis (Dalman, 1820), Encyrtus albitarsis Zetterstedt, 1838 and Tetracnemoidea piceae (Erdös, 1946). Pseudencyrtus idmon (Walker, 1844) and Sectiliclava cleone (Walker, 1848) are recorded for the first time since Francis Walker (1809–1874) collected the types during his visit to Finnmark in 1836. Comments on the biology and distribution for the species are given. The aim of this ongoing study is to highlight the distribution of the family in Norway and finally provide a check-list of the Norwegian species.
