Pnigalio soemius (parasitoid) Walker, 1839

This wasp is common in Europe, neighbouring regions and temperate parts of Asia. It is a parasitoid of leafminers like Phyllocnistis species or the tomato leafminer, Tuta absoluta. Taxonomically, it may represent a complex of several closely related species (Zappalà et al., 2012).
