Remarks
- Biology: Occurring on the roots and underground stems of its host plants. Life history, natural enemies and associated ants discussed by Kosztarab & Kozár (1988F). Parasites in Palaearctic region discussed by Trjapitzin (1989).
- General Remarks: Good description and illustration of the adult female given by Schmutterer (1952), Danzig (1960), Williams (1962), Tereznikova (1975) and by Danzig (2001). Good description of the adult female given by Schmutterer (1952) and by Tang (2001). Intraspecific variation in taxonomic characters studied by Danzig (1960).
