Extract

A key is given for the separation of a group of allied species of Eulophidae comprising Elachertus nigritulus (Zett.), E. geniculatus (Eatz.), E. olivaceus (Thoms.), E. scobiciae Erdős, and a species here described as E. pallidus sp. n. Biological data for each species are given. E. nigritulus and E. geniculatus have previously been regarded as synonymous; the latter parasitises Laspeyresia strobilella (L.), a pest of conifers, whereas E. nigritulus, and also E. pallidus, attacks Lepidoptera associated with fruit trees.
