Lariophagus Distinguendus
''Lariophagus distinguendus'' is a idiobiont parasitoid, ectoparasitoid hymenopteran in the family Pteromalidae, superfamily Chalcidoidea. It parasitizes small beetle larvae concealed in seeds, as well as prepupae and pupae in their cocoons. It is used for the biological control of several beetle pests of stored products, particularly in central Europe, where it is produced commercially and distributed by at least 11 companies. Taxonomy Arnold Förster described this species in 1841 under the name ''Pteromalus distinguendus''. In 1913, N. Kurdjumov moved it to the genus ''Lariophagus''. While studying the types of ''Meraporus calandrae'' Howard and ''Meraporus utibilis'' Tucker, Hase in 1919 established their synonymy with ''Lariophagus distinguendus''. Description The female is 2 to 3 mm long, dark blue, basal part of abdomen green, wings white with yellow-brown veins. The male is 1.1 to 2 mm long.
