Remarks.
To date, only two described species,
R
.
americanus
(
Girault 1915e
)
and
R
.
nigroclavatus
(
Ashmead 1902
)
have been reported from North
America
, although neither has yet been found in California (
Noyes 2001
). However, three morphospecies have been collected from
Distichlis
sp. (
Poaceae
) and terrestrial grasses from Alameda, Contra Costa, El Dorado, Imperial, Lassen, Marin, Placer, Santa Barbara and Solano counties (EMEC, RLZC, UCDC, UCRC), while some males have been reared from
Dysmicoccus timberlakei
in Alameda County (EMEC) (
NEW
), in association with specimens that appear to be near
Pseudleptomastix
.
