Classification
Overview
Identification
Pediobius 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).
Keys to species include Europe (Boucek,
1965), North America (Peck, 1985)
and Japan (Kamijo, 1986). Kerrich
(1973) revised the Tropical and Subtropical species, concentrating
mainly on the Old World fauna.
