Genus
Laelius
Ashmead, 1893
One species of this genus,
Laelius microneurus
, was reported previously from Britain and was keyed by
Perkins (1976)
. 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)
