“…Within the plagiator group, E. helleni and E. validus position as most distant phylogenetically from all other plagiator species. Both parasitoids are specialists; first one attacking Cavariella aphids across its distribution (Koponen and Halme 1993, Kavallieratos et al 2004, Rakhshani et al 2007, Starý and Havelka 2008, Tomanović et al 2009) and additionally Eumyzus Shinji, 1929 in Asia (Davidian 2007, Davidian and Gavrilyuk 2014) and the second one parasitising root aphids from the subfamily Eriosomatinae (Gärdenfors 1986). Starý (1958) raised E. validus to the subgenus Lysephedrus, based on morphological characters, such as very rugose propodeum and petiole, shape of ovipositor sheaths and their heavy pubescence.…”

In this study two molecular markers were used to establish taxonomic status and phylogenetic relationships of Ephedrus subgenera and species distributed in Europe. Fifteen of the nineteen currently known species have been analysed, representing three subgenera: Breviephedrus Gärdenfors, 1986, Lysephedrus Starý, 1958 and Ephedrus Haliday, 1833. The results of analysis of COI and EF1α molecular markers and morphological studies did not support this classification. Three clades separated by the highest genetic distances reported for the subfamily Aphidiinae on intrageneric level. Ephedrus brevis is separated from persicae and plagiator species groups with genetic distances of 19.6 % and 16.3 % respectively, while the distance between persicae and plagiator groups was 20.7 %. These results lead to the conclusion that the traditional subgeneric classification of Ephedrus needs revision. Species from persicae species group are raised to subgenus level as Fovephedrus Chen, 1986 and Lysephedrussyn. nov. is assigned as a junior synonym of subgenus Ephedrus. Key for identification of Ephedrus subgenera is provided. Ephedrus hyadaphidis Kocić & Tomanović sp. nov. is described and several species are confirmed as valid species for the first time. Furthermore, two species are synonymised: E. dysaphidissyn. nov. as a junior synonym of E. cerasicola and E. blattnyisyn. nov. as a junior synonym of E. plagiator.
