Data from: A review of Western Amblyscelio and Baryconus (Hymenoptera: Platygastroidea, Platygastridae)

The European species of the genera Amblyscelio and Baryconus are reviewed
and revised based on morphological data. Females of Amblyscelio
striaticeps Kieffer, 1913 and Baryconus graeffei (Kieffer, 1908) are
described and the ovipositor of Amblyscelio is illustrated for the first
time. The monotypic genus Amblyscelio was previously known only from a
single male specimen. Baryconus graeffei is confirmed as a distinct
species, while B. orbus Kononova, 2008 is recognized as a junior
subjective synonym of B. europaeus (Kieffer, 1908) syn. nov. These
findings are supported by a principal component analysis (PCA) of ratios
of various distance measurements. Amblyscelio striaticeps is newly
recorded from Greece and Slovenia, Baryconus graeffei from France, Greece,
Montenegro and Turkey and B. europaeus (Kieffer, 1908) from Croatia,
France, Morocco, Portugal, Sicily, Spain and the United Arab Emirates.
