Recent taxonomic work has shown that this species should be called L. femoralis (see below for discussion and synonymy). A second species, L. pedatus , is newly reported here from Britain. The two species may be identified from the key by Vikberg & Koponen (2005) ; a simplified key is presented here for the British species. Key to females of British Laelius 1. Stigmal vein straight or almost straight, barely or not widened apically; pterostigma brown, slightly darker than basal vein, and without a seta which is longer than the nearby setae on the costal vein; apex of costal cell with several short setae; propodeum with discal longitudinal carinae slightly converging posteriorly; disc of fore wing hyaline (normally found outdoors) ……………………………………………………………………… Laelius femoralis (Förster, 1860) - Stigmal vein curved and apically broadened; pterostigma as pale as basal vein and with dorsal seta which is longer than the nearby setae on the subcostal vein; apex of costal cell with 0(–1) small setae; propodeum with discal longitudinal carinae slightly diverging posteriorly, furthest apart at about posterior 2/3; disc of fore wing infuscate (normally found indoors) ……… Laelius pedatus (Say, 1836)
