CF439742C97F5F309E7D0F5A2E210B08.taxon	diagnosis	Diagnosis. See van Achterberg (1991: 19). The type species of Lysitermus Foerster was not described in 1863; the species name is valid because it was the only species included in the new genus. Indirectly, the type species is characterised by the two features mentioned in the key to the genera (vein 2 - SR of fore wing absent and only three metasomal segments visible) but its unequivocal recognition has been problematical. Therefore, we illustrate here recently reared specimens from Sweden, because the cotypes of L. pallidus in ZMB are less suitable for redescription and in any case not currently available.	en	Achterberg, Cornelis van, Skeppstedt, Fredrik, Vaeaenaenen, Simo (2021): Revision of the Palaearctic species of Lysitermus Foerster (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Hormiinae).

CF439742C97F5F309E7D0F5A2E210B08.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Facultative gregarious parasitoids of case-bearing lepidopterous larvae of Psychidae and Tineidae; they are almost certainly idiobiont ectoparasitoids (Gupta and Quicke 2018; Mifsud et al. 2019; this paper). There is no mummification of the host larva, as in Rogadinae, and the host remains in the host case are compatible with ectoparasitoism (M. R. Shaw pers. comm.). The records of Scolytini (Pityophthorus micrographus (Linnaeus, 1758), Polygraphus poligraphus (Linnaeus, 1758 )) are based on a mass rearing from a dead Picea abies tree infested by both species (Hedqvist 1957). As Lysitermus has been reared from case-bearing larvae so far and there is no direct rearing known from Curculionidae (Scolytini), we consider both records very doubtful.	en	Achterberg, Cornelis van, Skeppstedt, Fredrik, Vaeaenaenen, Simo (2021): Revision of the Palaearctic species of Lysitermus Foerster (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Hormiinae).

D3A25B4C669B598899DDB3B344CA857E.taxon	biology_ecology	Biology. Five specimens of Lysitermus pallidus hatched from ten final instar larval cases of Diplodoma laichartingella (Goeze, 1783) (Lepidoptera, Psychidae) collected in Sweden by the second author. Dissection of the final instar larval cases showed that only three had been parasitized and five specimens had hatched from them. It clearly indicates that L. pallidus is a gregarious larval ectoparasitoid of this host, but probably a facultative one perhaps depending on the size (first- or second-year stage?) of the host. In northern Europe D. laichartingella has a two-year life cycle which raises the question of whether L. pallidus is a parasitoid only of fully grown larva and, therefore, has a two-year lifecycle like its host (Kunz 1989) or whether it might be able to complete its lifecycle in a juvenile larval case as well. The D. laichartingella cases are usually found in woodland areas where the caterpillar feeds on algae / mosses as well as dead insects on tree trunks, especially, of Fagus sylvatica L. and Quercus robur L. The specimen from Finland has also been reared from D. laichartingella (det. M. Mutanen) but was referred by Gupta and Quicke (2018) as reared from an unidentified psychid host.	en	Achterberg, Cornelis van, Skeppstedt, Fredrik, Vaeaenaenen, Simo (2021): Revision of the Palaearctic species of Lysitermus Foerster (Hymenoptera, Braconidae, Hormiinae).
