distribution (Noyes, 2002; 2003).

quite a few species which are parasitoids of leafmining Lepidoptera, Diptera,
Coleoptera and Hymenoptera. |

Identification |
Closterocerus is included in recent generic keys to eulophids for Australasia (Boucek, 1988) and North America (Schauff et al, 1997), and it is included in a web-based key to all Eulophidae genera which attack leafmining Agromyzidae (Reina & La Salle, 2003). Hansson (1994a) provided a key to North American species. |
