First record of Syrphophilus bizonarius (Gravenhorst, 1829) (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Diplazontinae) from Algeria

Abstract

First record of Syrphophilus bizonarius (Gravenhorst, 1829) (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae, Diplazontinae) from Algeria The subfamily Diplazontinae (Hymenoptera, Ichneumonidae) has been little studied in Algeria. Following our study in the region of Tizi–Ouzou from March to May 2020, we report the presence of the species Syrphophilus bizonarius (Gravenhorst, 1829) for the first time in this country, starting from a single male individual that emerged from a hoverfly pupa of Episyrphus balteatus (De Geer, 1776) (Diptera, Syrphidae, Syrphinae).
