Agrostocynips diastrophi

n. comb.
Ganaspis diastrophi

The original description states ‘Reared from blackberry gall,
Diastrophus cuscutaeformis
O.S.’ All known species of
Agrostocynips
are leafminer parasitoids (
Diptera
:
Agromyzidae
); it is probable the described specimens (
holotype
and
paratype
) emerged from leafminers accompanying the vegetation in which the gall was formed.
