Redescription of Microterys chalcosotmus (Dalman) (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea: Encyrtidae), a parasitoid associated with Phenacoccus aceris (Signoret) (Hemiptera: Pseudococcidae) and Kermes spp. (Hemiptera: Kermesidae), with comments on its host relationship

摘要
This paper is a contribution to the characterisation by an integrated approach of the speciesMicroterys chalcostomus(Dalman), a parasitoid of mealybugs and apparently a predator of kermesid eggs. Until now, the species, whose type is in good condition, could be identified only by the meagre original description by Dalman and subsequent notes by Graham. Nonetheless, it appears to be extremely common in Europe, hence the need for a thorough morphological and molecular characterisation. Systematic notes on closely related species ofMicroterysparasitoids of mealybugs are included.
