Review (by Malcolm Storey) | Revision of Microgaster (including what is now Hygroplitis). Still useful, although additional species added by Shaw (2004 and 2012) need to be considered. |
Errata, Corrigenda & Comments | 4 spp have been described in Britain since Nixon (mostly by Mark Shaw), although apparently a few more await description and the *laeviscuta*-(*globata*)-*hospes* complex is still poorly understood. Apparently Papp’s two papers are strongly based on Nixon and don’t add very much from our viewpoint. |
