A revised checklist of the British and Irish Heloridae and Proctotrupidae (Proctotrupoidea) substantially updates the previous comprehensive checklist, dating from 1978. Country level data (i.e. occurrence in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and the Isle of Man) is reported where known.
A total of three Heloridae and 39 Proctotrupidae (including only certainly recorded species) represents a 27% increase in the British list since 1978. Most species are still poorly known and there has been a dearth of taxonomic and faunistic work on the British and Irish fauna.
Heloridae, Proctotrupidae, fauna, Ireland, Britain
This paper is part of a series of new checklists to the British and Irish Hymenoptera fauna, that started with
The superfamily 'Proctotrupoidea' has generally been a welcoming home to a variety of parasitoid groups and recognised as not being monophyletic (
There has been very little work on the British proctotrupoid fauna and most of what we know about the British and Irish Proctotrupidae derives from the global monograph of
