Topic: A few parasitoid wasps for the species dictionary

Hi Chris,

I have a couple of parasitoid wasp records that I'd like to upload with the next update of the Buglife dataset. They were reared/collected and identified by Dr Mark Shaw during the 2012 Scottish Entomologists Gathering.
The species are:
Cotesia tibialis (Curtis 1830)
Macrocentrus cingulum  Brischke 1882
Meteorus pendulus (Muller 1776)
Microgaster meridiana Haliday 1834
Microgaster subcompletus (Linnaeus 1758)
Pygostolus sticticus (Fabricius 1798)
Scolomus borealis (Townes 1971)

best wishes

Re: A few parasitoid wasps for the species dictionary

Many thanks Scott - apologies for the delay in replying.

I will log this job and post back here when the names have been added. At the moment I am in the long tidying up phase after importing the BLS lichens list and am on a bit of home-holiday until the 8th but they shouldn't be difficult to add :)

Best wishes,
Chris R.
