Description
Summary:<p>An annotated checklist of the European Dacnusini (426 species) and the&nbsp;<em>Dapsilarthra&nbsp;</em>genus group of the Alysiini (16 species) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae, Alysiinae) is provided. In addition to a species list with synonymy, further details are given of: (i) intrageneric groupings; (ii) a reference to each species&rsquo; treatment in the unindexed and multipart major revisions of Nixon &amp; Griffith as well as the long keys of Tobias; (iii) a hypothesis about host range for the 60% of species which have been reared, and the evidence upon which it is based; (iv) whether a DNA barcode sequence is available (30% of species); (v) for species published after Griffiths&rsquo; revision a reference to similar species; (vi) any further relevant notes. One new synonym is established:&nbsp;<em>Chorebus luzulae&nbsp;</em>Griffiths&nbsp;<strong>syn. nov.</strong>&nbsp;is synonymised with&nbsp;<em>Chorebus aphantus&nbsp;</em>Marshall<em>. Mesocrina</em>&nbsp;F&ouml;rster is excluded from the&nbsp;<em>Dapsilartha</em>&nbsp;genus group and whether&nbsp;<em>Grandia</em>&nbsp;Goidanich and&nbsp;<em>Lodbrokia</em>&nbsp;Hedqvist are in the Dacnusini is considered uncertain.</p>
