A new Aphidius Nees species (Hymenoptera, Braconidae), a parasitoid of Acyrthosiphon malvae (Mosley, 1841) in Europe

Here we describe Aphidius erodii sp. n. associated with Acyrthosiphon malvae (Mosley, 1841), which is a pest on herbaceous ornamental Geranium and Pelargonium plants, but also an increasingly serious pest of strawberry in Northern and Western Europe. Aphidius erodii sp. n. is diagnosed on the basis...

Zusammenfassung:Here we describe Aphidius erodii sp. n. associated with Acyrthosiphon malvae (Mosley, 1841), which is a pest on herbaceous ornamental Geranium and Pelargonium plants, but also an increasingly serious pest of strawberry in Northern and Western Europe. Aphidius erodii sp. n. is diagnosed on the basis of the COI barcode gene and morphological traits, illustrations of which are provided. In addition, we discuss phylogenetic relationships of all Aphidius species parasitizing A. malvae in Europe.
