DFF089D580E550B890C65E6233547D27.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia bohemica is close to F. communis and F. hofferi because of the presence of notauli, the visible metascutellum and the reticulate-coriaceous to alutaceous sculpture of the frons. Fidiobia bohemica differs from these species by the presence of three pairs of sublateral setae on T 1 (only two in F. communis and F. hofferi) and the absence of epitorular carinae on the frons (present in F. communis and F. hofferi).	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

13CF6F6140A25F5BAB2FBEE5DEF351FD.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia brevinotaula is a distinct species based on the abbreviated notauli; the transaxillar carina and horizontal part of the dorsal axillar area that are not visible; the presence of foamy structures on the lateral propodeal carinae; the long, strong, white, dense setae on the metapleuron; and the minute size of specimens. It is close habitually to F. insoonae, but these species can be separated by the marginal setae of fore wings (short in F. brevinotaula and long in F. insoonae) and by the setation of metapleuron (there are long, strong, dense setae in F. brevinotaula and short, tiny, sparse setae in F. insoonae).	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

38B479FFA52A588DAC8705AC08771DC8.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia communis is close to F. hofferi because of its general habitus, the metascutellum that is visible in dorsal view and the presence of epitorular carinae. These two species differ mainly by the sculpture of the dorsal mesopleuron (reduced in F. hofferi and extending to the middle of the mesopleuron in F. communis), setation of the ventral metapleural area (few, sparse setae in F. hofferi and dense, long setae in F. communis) and the length of the marginal setae on the fore wings (very short, hardly visible in F. hofferi and clearly visible in F. communis).	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

89083A5957AE5A7BBE332346316DF2E0.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia filicornis is the only known Palearctic species with 9 - merous antenna in the female and 10 - merous antenna in the male. As is typical for Fidiobia, the female antenna is clavate and the male antenna is clubbed, but in the male of F. filicornis the antenna is almost filiform as in F. longiclava or F. vladlubomiri (both species with 10 - merous antenna in male and female). Another distinctive character among the Palearctic species with 9 - merous antennae is the presence of the transepisternal line, which is narrow, deeply incised, transverse and nearly complete in F. filicornis. This species is not known from the Oriental region (Veenakumari et al. 2018), but a new species, Fidiobia setosa was recently described from India and is considered a close relative of F. filicornis. These two species can be easily separated because of the presence of a hyperoccipital carina and 10 - merous antennae in F. setosa.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

BD5BB08B8EDC5649B37B1F53235756F3.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia gallica is one of the most peculiar species of the genus because of the lamellate scape, elongate A 3, reticulate pattern on the disc of the fore wing and a narrow metasomal depression (width of metasomal depression is less than the length of the lateral propodeal carina) bordered by lateral propodeal carinae that are nearly parallel and are elevated posteriorly. The combination of these four characters differentiates this species from the remainder of the Palearctic fauna.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

Popovici and Buhl (2010) reported Andricus lignicola (Hartig) (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) on Quercus as the host of F. hispanica, as it was in O'Connor et al. (2004). Notton et al. (2014) observed that, in fact, F. hispanica, was reared from beetle eggs found in a vacated gall of Andricus lignicola (Fig. 98) on Quercus robur and from beetle eggs found in a vacated Synergus umbraculus (Olivier) cell in a vacated Andricus kollari (Hartig) gall. For this reason, we consider it likely that the true host is a beetle and not a cynipoid as mentioned in Popovici and Buhl (2010).	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

FD273308925B503B888C2ED80B7AF5F6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The small size and delicate exoskeleton of F. hispanica make this species unmistakable among the Palearctic species with 10 - merous antennae. The habitus is somewhat similar to that of F. synergorum and these species have been previously confused (Buhl 1999 b; O'Connor et al. 2004). The main differences between them are the number of antennomeres (10 in F. hispanica and 9 in F. synergorum) and the ratio between the width and height of the mesosoma in females (1.6 in F. hispanica and 2.7 in F. synergorum), the transverse carina between the lateral propodeal carinae (present in F. hispanica and absent in F. synergorum) and the structure of the metasoma in males (presented in Popovici and Buhl 2010). The 1: 1: 1 sensillar formula (Fig. 95 b) is unique among the Palearctic species of Fidiobia in which this character has been observed.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

4B3FC457E1E05E2CB58D9720A4B0EC64.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. This species can be diagnosed by the visible metascutellum and nearly glabrous metapleuron. It is relatively close to F. vanharteni and F. polita based on its general habitus. Fidiobia hofferi is most likely to be confused with F. polita, a species with which it is sympatric. The main difference is the presence of notauli in F. hofferi and the absence of these structures in F. polita. Another difference between these two species is the OOL: OD ratio (OOL is 2 times as long as OD in F. hofferi and OOL is equal to OD in F. polita). Fidiobia hofferi can be separated from F. vanharteni because the fore wings are uniformly hyaline in F. hofferi and dark medially in F. vanharteni. Also, the OOL is equal to about 2 OD in F. hofferi and the OOL is equal to or less than OD in F. vanharteni. Fidiobia hofferi is a polymorphic species and contains brachypterous females among the Romanian material.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

4DEC4F47E9A15F3AA7A49992C08299E2.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia insoonae is superficially similar to F. polita, F. politoides, F. flaviabdominalis, and F. hofferi because of the almost similar size and the general habitus. It most obviously differs from F. polita, F. politoides, and F. flaviabdominalis (it is sympatric with the latter two) by the presence of notauli. Fidiobia insoonae and F. hofferi are allopatric and differ from each other mainly by the metascutellum, which is covered by the posterior margin of mesoscutellum and not visible in F. insoonae, and because of the setation of the metapleuron is sparse in F. hofferi and dense in F. insoonae. Also, the marginal fringe of the fore wing is short and barely noticable in F. hofferi but it is long in F. insoonae.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

184CDF175BCB53689B4EF82ECFDD4506.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia lisenchiae is similar to F. platystasioides because of the absence of epitorular carinae, the fore wings with very short marginal setae and the notauli slightly dilated posteriorly. These two species are easily separated because the mesosoma is slightly flattened in F. lisenchiae and visibly flattened in F. platystasioides. Also, T 2 is transverse in F. lisenchiae and square or nearly so in F. platystasioides. The difference between these two states of T 2 is reflected in the ratio of T 2: T 1. T 2 is at most 3 times as long as T 1 in F. lisenchiae and at least 4 times as long as T 1 in F. platystasioides. The submarginal vein is shorter in F. lisenchiae than in F. platystasioides, with the apex of the submarginal vein hardly surpassing the posterior edge of the propodeum in F. lisenchiae and surpassing the middle of T 1 in F. platystasioides. Other subtle differences between these species are the color of the scape and tibia (yellow in F. lisenchiae and dark brown in F. platystasioides), the sculpture of the dorsal mesopleuron (with few striae and a smooth area in F. lisenchiae and with numerous, dense striae in F. platystasiodes) and in the sculpture of the lateral pronotal area (sculptured only in dorsal third in F. lisenchiae and in dorsal two thirds in F. platystasioides).	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

56F1AA0B38A656AFA931E0256D834EB6.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. The most diagnostic feature is the elongated shape of the clavomeres, which are unique among the Palearctic species of Fidiobia with 10 - merous antennae. Non-sexually dimorphic characters that can be used to identify males are the notaular lines that are visible as a change in the setation of the mesoscutum and the nearly straight transepisternal line. The transverse anterior pits of T 2 that nearly merge medially is unique among Palearctic Fidiobia that have a 10 - merous antenna, lack notauli and have the junction of T 1 - T 2 not covered by a row of setae. The color of the body in this species is highly variable, ranging from almost entirely yellow to completely brown.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

14E1F0A0CC205733A889068DF796E0BF.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. We consider F. nipponica to be close to F. striatitergitis based on the presence of a metascutellar carina with a tooth, a posterior mesoscutellar sulcus and the very short marginal fringe of the fore wing. Although most of T 2 in this species is smooth and shining, some very fine longitudinal striae can be observed laterally, but this sculpture is distinctly different than the extensive striation on T 2 that is found in F. striatitergitis. The metasomal depression is completely covered with foamy structures and the large distance between the posterior ocellus and compound eye make this species easy to recognize among the Palearctic species of Fidiobia with 10 - merous antennae.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

D575541034295B0FAEB61D4D16A0741E.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia platystasioides is similar to F. lisenchiae because of the absence of epitorular carinae, the fore wings with very short marginal setae and notauli slightly dilated posteriorly. The main differences between these two species is the ratio T 2: T 1 (in F. platystasioides T 2 is at least 4 times as long as T 1 and in F. lisenchiae T 2 is at most 3 times as long as T 1) and the length of the submarginal vein (the apex of the submarginal vein surpassing the middle of T 1 in F. platystasioides and hardly surpassing the propodeum in F. lisenchiae). Other subtle differences between these species are the color of the scape and tibia (dark brown in F. platystasioides and yellow in F. lisenchiae), the sculpture of the dorsal mesopleuron (with numerous dense striae in F. platystasiodes and with few striae and a smooth area in F. lisenchiae) and the sculpture of the lateral pronotal area (sculptured in dorsal two thirds in F. platystasioides and only in dorsal third in F. lisenchiae).	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

C7B6FEAC5D445824ABB4BFA2B647082A.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia polita is distinct among the Palearctic species of this genus with 9 - merous antennae and without notauli because T 2 is transverse or about as long as wide and the OOL is about as long as an OD (OOL 0.8 - 1.2 times as long as OD). Of the Palearctic fauna, F. polita is most similar to F. politoides and differs in the length of the fore wing marginal setae (long marginal setae in F. polita and very short marginal setae in F. politoides). According to the studied material these species are allopatric. In the European fauna, F. polita is similar to F. hofferi but differs by the notauli (which are present in F. hofferi and absent in F. polita) and by the ratio OOL: OD (OOL = 2 OD in F. hofferi and OOL = OD in F. polita). Because of the small size of both species, and because in some specimens of F. hofferi the notauli are superficial, the presence of notauli can be difficult to observe. Minor differences can also be observed in the structure of the antenna: A 3 is shorter than A 4 and the junction between A 2 and A 3 is narrow in F. polita, but in F. hofferi A 3 is almost as long as A 4 and the junction between A 2 and A 3 is large. In F. polita, A 5 has the same shape as A 4 (globular or moniliform), but in F. hofferi A 5 it is more transverse than A 4.

AD4F901BD76456F49034058ACF863841.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia politoides is close to F. polita because T 2 is transverse or about as long as wide and the OOL is about as long as an OD (OOL 0.8 - 1.2 times as long as OD) and they differ in the length of the fore wing marginal setae (long marginal setae in F. polita and very short marginal setae in F. politoides). In the structure of antenna, the clava in F. politoides is larger than in F. polita, and A 5 and A 6 are more transverse in F. politoides than in F. polita. According to the studied material these species are allopatric.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

225B62CAB09F55BB802C93F948E2DEA7.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. There are three brachypterous species of Fidiobia with notauli and areolate-rugulose sculpture on the frons: F. pronotanoides, F. pronotata, and F. rugosifrons. Between these species, brachyptery is always observed in F. pronotata and F. pronotatoides, but it is a rarity for F. rugosifrons. Fidiobia pronotatoides is very close to F. pronotata, differing by the pronotum of typical length, the narrow mesoscutal humeral and suprahumeral sulci, the well developed epomial carina (longer than half the length of the pronotum measured along midline), fore wings apically rounded (acuminate in F. pronotata), legs light brown with brown coxae (legs entirely yellow in F. pronotata) and a glabrous median prominence of T 1 (setose in F. pronotata). Fidiobia pronotatoides can be separated from F. rugosifrons by the length of the fore wing (not reaching the middle of T 2), the internotaular sculpture (smooth in posterior half), and the lateral pronotal area (smooth in ventral half).	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

81D158C7E3F757CD8E30EFDF18C1C924.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia roatai is distinct among species with an areolate-rugulose frons because of its dark body, absence of sculpture between the notauli, absence of foamy structures on the propodeum, the ratio between A 2 and A 3 (A 2 1.3 - 1.5 times as long as A 3 in F. roatai and 2.4 - 2.6 times as long as A 3 in F. rugosifronsoides), the ratio between A 3 and A 4 (A 3 1.8 - 2.0 times as long as A 4 in F. roatai and 1.2 - 1.3 times as long as A 4 in F. rugosifronsoides) and the rudimentary or absent submarginal vein of fore wing. Also, the fore wings in F. roatai have a peculiar pattern in color and in the distribution of setae. The basal 1 / 5 of the fore wing is light brown and the setae are absent or punctiform on this area. The apical 3 / 5 of fore wing is also light brown but covered with short setae. Between basal and apical brown areas of the fore wing there is a lighter almost triangular area. The anterior margin of the fore wings is also peculiar with an expanded costal lobe.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

8016940D2D8E56A68EC02321B8573621.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. This species was reportedly reared from Synergus gallaepomiformis Fonscolombe (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) on Quercus sp., Biorhiza pallida Olivier (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) on Quercus sp., and Aphelonyx cerricola Gir. (Hymenoptera: Cynipidae) (Vlug 1995), but a direct connection among F. synergorum and these cynipids was not established through dissections. This species seems to prefer forested habitats rather than grassland. In Ukraine it was collected in beech and mixed forests and the most effective methods were the trunk mounted trap and Malaise trap.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).

2B28C147FECB5265BFCCA3C562E29831.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. Fidiobia vladlubomiri is a distinct species that can be recognized by wide, deeply incised notauli with the lateral margins located medial to the axillular carina, meeting the scutoscutellar sulcus. The transepisternal line is nearly complete and sigmoid in shape. The dorsal mesopleural area has some transverse striae, and between these striae and the transepisternal line there is a large unsculptured area (in F. striatitergitis and F. nipponica this area is transversely striate). The dorsal metapleural area is covered with dense silvery setae that easily distinguish F. vladlubomiri from F. striatitergitis and F. nipponica. The papillary sensillum located at the apex of the distal clavomere (Fig. 277 b) makes F. vladlubomiri unique among the known Palaearctic species of Fidiobia.	en	Popovici, Ovidiu Alin, Masner, Lubomir, Lahey, Zachary, Talamas, Elijah (2022): Revision of the Palearctic species of Fidiobia Ashmead (Hymenoptera, Platygastroidea).
