Holcotetrastichus Graham, 1987
Note.
This is a small genus erected by Graham (1987), with
Cirrospilus rhosaces
Walker, 1839 as the type species. Only two species have been described:
Holcotetrastichus manaliensis
Graham, 1991 and
Holcotetrastichus rhosaces
(Walker, 1839). It can be distinguished from other
Tetrastichinae
especially by the strong transverse costulae in deep broad sublateral grooves and the hypopygium reaching nearly the tip of the gaster (Graham 1987). The species are parasitoids of some species of
Cassida
(
Coleoptera
,
Chrysomelidae
) (Graham 1991).
