Comment.
Used in the biocontrol of
Liriomyza
species in greenhouses (van
Achterberg and Aguiar 2009
).
Griffiths (1967)
reported this species as a parasitoid of
Chromatomyia asteris
(Hendel, 1934)
on
Aster tripolium
L. in
England
;
Phytomyza autumnalis
Hering, 1957
from
Denmark
,
P. plantaginis
Robineau-Boisduval, 1951
from
Sweden
on
Plantago major
L., and
P. ranunculi
(Schrank, 1803)
on
Ranunculus
sp. from
Poland
. Also, it has been reared from the larva of
Liriomyza bryomiae
(Kaltenbach, 1858)
on tomato (
Lycopersicon esculentum
Mill.
) from Channel Islands; and on
Cleome graveolens
Raf.
and
Collinsia heterophylea
Buist ex Graham
in
Germany
(
Griffiths 1968
) and
Liriomyza
sp. (
Francés and Jiménez 1989a
). In
Netherlands
,
D. sibirica
has showed good results when released against the first and second generation larvae of the important tomato host
Liriomyza bryoniae
(
Hendrikse
et al.
1980
)
. In
Spain
it has been recorded from
Chromatomyia horticola
(
Goureau, 1851
)
pupa on
Phaseolus vulgaris
L. and from
Liriomyza bryoniae
on
Cucumis melo
(
Docavo and Tormos 1988
)
.
Croft and Copland (1994
,
1995
) recorded this species from
Chromatomyia syngenesiae
Hardy, 1849
(
Diptera
:
Agromyzidae
).
Godfray (1994)
recorded this species attacking a variety of species of leaf-mining agromyzid flies. From those hosts:
Chromatomyia asteris
(Hendel, 1934)
,
C. syngenesiae
Hardy, 1849
,
Liriomyza bryomiae
,

P. plantagenis
Robineau-Desvoidy, 1851
,
P

rapunculi
Hendel, 1927
(
Diptera
:
Agromyzidae
), and as a hyperparasitoid of
Diglyphus isaea
(Walker, 1838)
,
Hemiptarsenus varicornis
(Girault, 1913)
(
Hymenoptera
:
Eulophidae
).
Fathi (2011)
showed this species as parasitoid of leafminer,
Chromatomyia horticola
(
Diptera
:
Agromyzidae
). Finally, in
Russia
it has been reported to attack
Phytomyza
sp. (
Diptera
:
Agromyzidae
) (
Lelej 2012
).
