Tersilochus (Tersilochus) curvator Horstmann 1981

Tersilochus (Tersilochus) curvator Horstmann, 1981 Distribution Palaearctic (Eastern Palaearctic; Western Palaearctic). Asserted distribution in Italy: North Italy (Scaramozzino 1995, also as Tersilochus (Tersilochus) saltator (Fabricius, 1781)); PIE (Frilli and Horstmann 1982, as Ophion saltator (Fabricius, 1781); Pagliano 2009). Notes Frilli and Horstmann (1982) and Scaramozzino (1995) report Tersilochus saltator (Fabricius, 1781) for Italy. However, T. saltator is now considered a species within the genus Cardiochiles Nees, 1819 (Braconidae), as Cardiochiles saltator. Yu and Horstmann (1997) noticed that specimens of T. saltator have been misidentified in the past with T. curvator. Therefore, Frilli and Horstmann (1982) ' s and Scaramozzino (1995) ' s records are, in fact, to be associated with T. curvator Horstmann, 1981.
