Host records. Koinobiont endoparasitoid of adult Coccinellidae able to re-parasitize its host beetle (van Achterberg 2006). It is one of the best understood parasitoids of coccinellids (Riddick et al. 2009). It was reported as parasitoid of the following species: Sitona discoideus Gyllenhal (Coleoptera: Curculionidae), Adalia bipunctata (Linnaeus), A. decimpunctata (Linnaeus), A. deficiens Mulsant, Anatis labiculata (Say), A. ocellata Linnaeus, Brachiacantha ursina (Hatch), Coccinella spp., Coelophora biplagiata, C. inaequalis (Fabricius), Coleomegilla maculata DeGeer, Cycloneda munda (Say), C. sanguinea (Linnaeus), Eriopis connexa Germar, Exochomus quadripustulatus (Linnaeus), Halyzia quatoordecimguttata Balduf, Harmonia spp., Hippodamia spp., Illeis cincta (Fabricius), Macronaemia hauseri (Weise), Menochilus sexmaculatus Fabricius, Micraspis discolor (Fabricius), Myzia oblogoguttata (Linnaeus), Olla v-nigrum Mulsant, Propylea quatuordecimpunctata (Linnaeus), Subcoccinella vigintiduopunctata (Linnaeus), Tytthaspis sedecimpunctata (Linnaeus) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), Gelis areator (Panzer) (Hymenoptera: Ichneumonidae), Conura spp., Dibrachys microgastri (Bouché) (Hymenoptera: Pteromalidae) (Yu et al. 2012). Tobias (1971) reported a number of coccinellids (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) as hosts to this species: Coccinella quinquepunctata Linnaeus, C. trifasciata Linnaeus, C. septempunctata (Linnaeus), Harmonia axyridis (Pallas), Propylea quatuordecimpunctata (Linnaeus), Hippodamia amoena (Faldermann), Brumus octosignatus (Gebler). Adult parasitoid of Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (Beardsley 1961; Bagheri 1998), and Hippodamia variegata (Goeze) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (Tobias 1971; Tavoosi Ajvad et al. 2014). It was also reared from Coelophora inaequalis (Fabricius) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) in Hawaii (Beardsley 1961). In Australia, it was reported from Hippodamia convergens Guérin-Méneville, H. quinquesignata (Kirby), Coccinella californica (Mannerheim), Coleomegilla maculata De Geer, Cycloneda sanguinea (Linnaeus), C. trifasciata juliana Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) (Parrott 1953). In Brazil, it has been reported in association with coccinellid species Coleomegilla maculata De Geer, Eriopis connexa (Germar) and Olla v-nigrum (Mulsant) (Silva et al. 2012). Gravena (1978) and Santos & Pinto (1981) have reported this species as a larval, pupal and adult parasitoid from Cycloneda sanguinea (Linnaeus) (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae), and also on Curculionidae (Hodek 1973). In China it has been reported from Coccinella septempunctata Linnaeus (Chen and van Achterberg 1997).
