Diagnosis Bifid claws, valvula 3 (narrow and pointed in dorsal view), penis valves, and colour pattern enable reliable identification of the species. The body is dorsally at least partly black, laterally and ventrally completely or nearly completely pale and antenna, metatibia, and metatarsus are black. Males are extremely rare. Type material examined Lectotype Nematus hortensis, here designated GERMANY • ♀; ZSM, GBIF-GISHym3292. Lectotype Nematus xanthobaptus, here designated GERMANY – Nordrhein-Westfalen • ♀; Köln; 50.95° N, 6.95° E; ZSM, GBIF-GISHym3458. Host plants Trees of the Fabaceae. In the West Palaearctic, Robinia pseudoacacia L. is the usual host plant, but other species of Robinia L. (Liston 2011) and Sophora japonica L. (Schedl 2010) are occasionally used, and in North America Gleditsia triacanthos L. (Raizenne 1957). Genetics COI Based on 5 specimens, maximum within-species distance is 1.07% and the nearest neighbours, diverging by a minimum of 7.49%, are Euura connecta, E. leptostigma, and E. leucopyga. Nuclear Only one sequence available, a female with haplotypes diverging by 0.17%. The nearest neighbour, diverging by a minimum of 1.41%, is Euura myosotidis. Distribution and material examined Holarctic. Specimens studied are from Belgium, Bulgaria, Estonia, Germany, Italy, and Romania.
