)
Material examined.
Psylla alni
(
Fig. 8
), on
Alnus glutinosa
(Linnaeus) Gaertin, Todorovići
,

Trophic status.
Parasitoid of adult jumping plant-lice.
Hosts.
Cacopsylla pyri
,
C. mali
,
C. melanoneura
and
C. affinis
(
Trjapitzin 1989
; Noyes 2017).
Distribution.
Palearctic.
Diagnosis.
Head and mesosoma blue golden green. Tegula yellow white or yellow, legs yellow. Fore leg with apical tarsal segment grossly enlarged, distinctly large than those of middle and hind leg. Clava on the top cut. Frontovertex and gena with long setae. The specimen matches the description published by
Graham (1961)
and
Trjapitzin (1989)
.
Comments.
New record for
Serbia
. In this study,
Sectiliclava cleone
was reared from an adult of
Psylla alni
. The species from genus
Sectiliclava
parasitize exclusively the adults of psyllids. So far,
S. cleone
has been recorded as a parasitoid of
Cacopsylla melanoneura
,
C. affinis
,
C. pyri
and
C. mali
(
Trjapitzin 1989
;
Noyes & Hanson 1996
). Here,
Sectiliclava cleone
is recorded in association with
Psylla alni
for the first time (
Table 2
).
