Vanhornia leileri Hedqvist, 1976 in France (Hymenoptera, Proctotrupoidea, Vanhorniidae). Vanhornia leileri was recently collected in the French part of the Jura massif, in the Lac de Remoray Nature Reserve. This species described from Sweden was then found in the Russian Far East, the Swiss Jura, Germany and very recently the Netherlands. The presence of V. leileri at the northeast of the Jura massif is the second mention of this parasitoid in France after a previous one from Haute-Savoie. The apparent rarity of this parasitoid seems to be linked to that of its saproxylic Eucnemidae beetle hosts. We present here the main knowledge acquired on Vanhorniidae and this species still so little known.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
